Download the new beta version here:

http://www.macgames.biz/games/PSCD-1.1.2-all.zip

(like all betas, there's no installer, just a .zip file to unzip and play)



The latest version is this one in the forums - if you download the version live on the site, you won't see the extra romances or the quick match mode!



What's New in 1.1.2

- the buttons to tweak the AI starting/recurring resources wasn't working (always using the mission's default values). Now it works and it makes a HUGE difference. Because of this I simplified the ultimate challenge (no AI starting units) otherwise was honestly impossible to win



What's New in 1.1.1

- Time Bomb now shouldn't crash anymore

- Death Mark and other temporarily boosting HP actions now should work correctly (the HP value should reset after the turn ends)

- fixed some cards descriptions, lowered Elite Sniper stats, and Radioactive Droid will deal damage to all units except itself



What's New in 1.1.0

- Hack, Special forces and Motivational Speech now works correctly

- resources are correctly reset to the default values in the battle preview, after you finish a fight

- Time Bomb doesn't crash anymore, and it does remove the unit as intended: however for technical reasons the card is still displayed until you click any other card. I need to look if I can make it behave correctly, otherwise I'll change the ability to something else (can't spend too much time on this)

- the decks in Quick Play are now saved correctly so that you cannot add more cards when you start a new match (like 5 infantry units for example)

- Field Commander ability nerfed (lol, he was TOO POWERFUL!!). Now he gives +1/+1 to all organic cards when comes in play, stop. Also lowered slightly his stats. I think he might still be too powerful haha!



What's New in 1.0.9

- fixed Diana / Kaden romance, now it should progress past the 1st scene

- fixed some typos/weird sentences

- in the Ultimate Battle, the AI starts with Queen Shiler already deployed. Hopefully is more difficult now!



What's New in 1.0.8

- the decks in Quick Play mode are automatically saved after each battle, and should be there even if you quit and restart the game

- the Ultimate Challenge mission now has some starting enemies, making it VERY hard (as it should!)



What's New in 1.0.7

- fixed the timer crash issue

- I forgot to setup the content as DLC for later Steam release: which means that you need to register again the game from the main menu! Sorry about this. People buying the first time won't have to, but those who already have it registered will need to unlock again (so it unlocks also the extra romances "properly")



What's New in 1.0.6

- added Christophe, Galina, Kaden and Lola romances FOR FREE (hopefully more people will buy the game now!)

- added tier 5 cards if you have finished the main game campaign

- you can use the new cards (alongside the older ones of course) in the new quick play mode, in which you can fight 10 predefined battles using any card tier you have unlocked from the main plot (so you need to advance in it, to gain the cards, if you haven't already)

That's great! Downloading the beta now, though won't be able to play until tomorrow

When will this version be on Steam, though?

After has been tested here and I'm sure it works, I'll also update the version on Steam.

hi i have a problem with 1.0.6 i hope you can answer way its happen after i have started the game after some time this comes upp

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Are you going to have the romances as a zero-charge DLC on Steam or just a patch? Might get more notice if it was a free DLC (because then it's listed separately and as a "new release", I think?)?

I think doing it as free DLC (and there is enough content to justify it) might be a good idea.

Yes on Steam will do it as free DLC. Here on my site will just be added to the base download

Sweet, unfortunately I'm working over the weekend, but I'll see how much time I find for this.

Cool

I just updated it to 1.0.7, the timer crash was a hack I put while testing now should work.

I also remembered that to have it setup as DLC on Steam I needed to change a few things: in practice now you need to unlock the game again in the main menu, otherwise you won't see the extra romances. Once you have done that, should work as intended!

Hi I'm having problems re-registering


[code]
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "game/options.rpy", line 482, in script
File "game/options.rpy", line 571, in <module>
NameError: name 'success2' is not defined

Not sure if I'm doing this right.

Haha damn. I tried here and was working but probably messed up something. Did you use email to register? I tried with serial code here and was working.

Yes, email registration broke, serial # works.

OK I uploaded a new version where the email registration should work - still 1.0.7 (I didn't bother to update the version number for this mistake).

Can we maybe earn some upgrade stars during quick play?

Thank you for the help Thought I'd broken it with my tech 'skills'...

...or if you want to do it in an alternate manner (I'm not sure how you would handle saving upgrades during quick play - QP - but I'll leave that for a coder):



1) Earn QP stars for every fight you win in the main game.

2) Earn QP stars for each card tier you unlock.

3) Earn QP stars when completing main game. (Slightly problematic if repeatable, as you could just keep a save right before completion and reload for extra stars.)

4) Receive your unused stars when completing main game. (See 3))

5) Earn QP stars for each romance completed.

6) Earn QP stars for achievements.

7) Others I haven't thought of...

You should probably disable rollback when selecting QP missions - that doesn't seem very helpful.



Also, I need a way to save QP decks. I guess regular saves work, but that's not very intuitive.

The "Ultimate Challenge!" long battle is really easy.



Aaand I'm off to work.

Haha thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure how to save decks for quick play, since is a feature that normally isn't used in the main game. I need to check but I'm not sure if that's possible

As for stars in QP I didn't plan to have them, otherwise the fights could be too easy! As I noticed from your last post

I tried using persistent variables to save decks, but I got some obscure "To be persisted, object must support equality comparison".

Which I have no clue what is it

Anyway, I found a workaround saving the decks in a normal file: I tried here and seems to work! So I have uploaded version 1.0.8 which has also a tweak to the "Ultimate Challenge", which should definitely make it more interesting.

And sorry but no stars, your idea is interesting but considering this is a free DLC, I think I've already done a lot of interesting stuff
