13 Bones - Update 7 : Onboarding


Hello there,

This update focuses on quality of life: making the game easier to get into, and maybe inviting you to stay longer.

Codex

The codex clarifies the rules of the game, and shows information and statistics of the elements you found.
The codex contains:
* A Glossary
* Symbols and Cards you have found so far
* Enemies, and your win rate against them
* Decks (usage statistics will come in a later update)


You can find the codex in the main menu.

Tutorial 

A first version of the tutorial is here. It will explain the basics. You can enable/disable it from the NEW RUN menu.
It is far from perfect, but we hope this will reduce the amount of confusion, and perhaps make more people stick around, at least until facing THE MASTER.

Difficulty handicaps

Now, when starting a new run, you can choose a difficulty handicap, This means the addition of: an EASY mode, and 2 HARDER modes.
This is complementary with the starter decks.


That said, you don't NEED to increase the difficulty: the game was created to be played in NORMAL difficulty, and we will keep that in mind for the game balancing.
Harder modes are for the minority that was feeling the game was too forgiving.

Upcoming: Random Maps and Endless

Random maps are now possible (but you cannot select them yet). We will enable them in a next update, when we have more content to justify randomization.
People have been asking for an endless mode, this is being considered... maybe combined with a prestige level.

And... that's it!

This update has less content than the previous ones, but we needed to take the time to improve the onboarding and do some internal cleanup.

Thanks again to the people at our discord, catching bugs we let slide and helping us with questions and recommendations.

Let us know what you think.
