Daily Update - Feb 26th, 2025

Hi friends! Today's a nice little milestone release! I got the last of my 150 planned decorations implemented this morning, so I had some time to do some playtesting and a major bug cleanup session plus a bit more UI work and game design stuff. There's a lot to see in the changelog, but among the big changes are that the Baker and Potion Dealer are now at least not totally broken. I've given them both some more thematic starter decorations, access to all events, decorations, and tactics, and don't demand that you discard down to 0 cards each turn, so that's a big improvement. Also, you no longer start with a bunch of confusing no-effect starter decorations. Also also, the character select screen got a little visual refresh, so it should be a tad prettier and more informative. As always, here's the full changelog:
