Roadmap
A world that keeps growing
Bringing the server back was the start. Every week we add to it: more cards that play right, new things to earn, new reasons to log in. Here is what we finished lately, what we're on now and what comes after. No dates, just the order we work in.
Done lately
DuelsEvery card scripted in fullEvery card in the game plays its full text on our own engine.
WorldRaid bossesThe whole server fights a legend together, with its own titles for the last hit and for beating them all.
WorldSeventeen NPCs come backNPCs the original left without decks, back with decks of our own. Plus a featured NPC every Friday.
DuelsNPCs with mannersThey play rock-paper-scissors fairly, talk during duels, can be watched, and step in when nobody takes an Auto Duel.
DuelsA rules cross-checkA check against the original game's own duel engine found cards that played differently, and fixed them.
RewardsMore to earnThe later booster packs, structure decks as milestones, earned bundles and presents where you pick the cards.
LauncherA launcher for today's PCsChecks before Play, crash help, the right window for your screen, a sharp picture and crisp text.
LauncherSecure sign-inSign in once; every start gets its own one-time code, and your password never reaches the old client.
LobbiesRooms that behaveA room opens again after its duel, and Auto Duel finds opponents across lobbies.
CommunityHelp in the chatDeck ideas, your collection, card info, records, a haves-and-wants board, player reports and a word filter.
ServerYour progress, kept safeCharacters and rewards in a proper database, backed up every hour.
In the works
WorldLobbies that open as we growNew lobbies open by themselves as the first ones fill, so nobody lands in a crowded area. Still one shared world.
DuelsEvery card playableThe last few cards, and rules fixes wherever a card doesn't play as it should.
DuelsCards kept up to dateCard fixes and updates land continuously, so duels run smoothly.
RewardsA daily check-in and long-term goalsA stamp card for the days you play, and bigger rewards for streaks, full sets and milestones. Earned, never bought.
DuelsSmarter NPCs that stay fairOpponents that think a move ahead and play to their style. They never see your hidden cards.
LobbiesMore room optionsPolish for the rules you set when you open a room.
DuelsShuffles you can trustDeck shuffles from a cryptographically secure random source.
LauncherScreenshots, done rightA hotkey that saves what you see plus an exact copy at the game's own size.
LauncherOld crashes, fixedAlt-tab out of fullscreen, Windows user folders in non-Western scripts, leaving an area from the menu.
CommunityTrading and teamsThe final checks with two real players on both ends.
