Version 1.2


Thank you for everyone who's jumped in to Rendsword!  I hope you're having a great time with it.

Are you feeling like your runs in Rendsword are a bit samey?  Hopefully not!  But it so, today's update is sure to shake things up.  Here's the changelog:

  • Added 6 new relics
  • Ankh of Glyphs- When you would die, instead destroy this relic and gain 20 HP.
    • Pacifist's Memoire- Words you play without strike or echoing strike cards get a free 2x multiplier.
    • Soothing Lullaby- Reduce the damage of each of your foes by 1.
    • Rune-Marked Chestplate- At the start of your turn, before armor is removed, heal based on how much armor you have.
    • Funky Thesaurus- When you play the same word as you played last turn, that word deals 20 extra damage.
    • Freeze Scroll- When you make a word out of only target cards, stun.
  • Additionally, some relics felt a bit underpowered.  These relics have been buffed.
    • Hallowed Book- Each time a word has two consecutive letters that are the same, heal 2->4.
    • Rewrites- Whenever you discard a card from your hand, heal 2->3.
    • Introduction- All enemies take 3->5 damage at the start of battle
    • Torn Notepad- Each card you discard from your hand deals 4->6 damage to a random enemy.
    • Deflecting Words- When you play a word that's 6 letters or longer, gain 2->3 armor.
  • Discarding now works differently for special cards.  Previously, non-strike cards would be removed from the game when discarded.  Now, they're only removed from the game after being played.
  • Additionally, relics that care about when cards are discarded previously only cared about regular cards.  They now also count when you discard target cards.
  • Fixed a bug with Unmarked Letter that would cause target cards to stack up in your hand.
  • Improved performance of checking words against the dictionary.  The process can still take a decent amount of time for longer words, but it should take roughly 5 times less time on average.
  • Fixed lag spikes that would sometimes occur after submitting a word.
