This week we've got a fair number of changes and additions. I had a nice, second-hand conversation with someone who has been helping/testing with us and made a host of changes that they had noticed, most of which I too had noticed, but was too lazy/swamped to get around to fixing.
One of the more major changes is updating cards, especially tier 1 cards, to be more useful in comparison to melee. Tier 2 and 3 cards, of course, already out class a single melee attack by virtue of their scope or single target damage, but I had noticed, and our associate noted, that Tier 1 cards almost felt useless. With that in mind a few changes were made to cards that are generally accessible in the beginning for most classes (Fennoc Fire, Wall of Ice) to make them more useful and a real alternative to melee combat.
I will continue to roll out changes for Tier 1 cards until all of them have about the same power/cost ratio.
Oh! I have also a fair amount of concept art from my time on vacation; most of which has to deal with Miirä'där and their associated buildings/cards/dreams.
Anywho, changelog!

The new card art (credits my wife) along with the filigree (also credits to the wife) which now surrounds all cards in deck and hand widgets.
An example of the filigree in the deck widget. From what I understand, she is thinking about redesigning my crappy deck widget as well. :p
And that's all I've got for now. Another week where I feel like Wind Carrier is in a much better condition afterwords. Not a lot more to say, just happy that this is still happening.
Anywho, until next time
