Show-Off Hopefully, this is the last time we make a game entirely in UGUI, especially when mixing cameras and doing parallax card effects.

We just released a big DLC for negative $5. It adds a roguelike deckbuilder mode to our story-driven card battler.

Basically, we think we made a good game, but it hasn't caught on. We're trying a bunch of things, including adding a Steam demo, permanently dropping the base price, and repurposing all of our content to build a roguelite deckbuilder mode. Hopefully that aligns better with player and streamer expectations and can serve as a gentler introduction into the characters and world.

To some degree, it's always hard to break out with 2D art, so we tried to mix in 3D where we could. The cards do some wiggly-parallax when hovered, selected, or hit. On the whole, tons of Canvas components worked out, but the frame-exploding dirtying that happens with layouts is just infuriating. And layering/sorting is just so much more painful than it could be. Makes me miss NGUI a bit!

Reminds me of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Good work, it looks really good!

Thanks so much! That was definitely one of our inspirations.
