Version History/Introducing Smith Update

Introducing Smith Update was released on November 5, 2020.

Update Information
This update adds a third playable story character: Smith!

Smith's story takes place on a unique map, with new locations, quests, and characters to interact with. Smith has his own negotiation and combat cards, and uses new exclusive mechanics.

Play The First Two Days

The first two days of Smith's story are currently playable. There are a lot of alternate quests to play in Smith's story, and you'd have to play through at least six times to see them all. Smith's final story will have 4 days, like Rook. You can unlock Smith by beating Rook's first day. You can unlock Smith's Brawl by reaching the end of his story as it exists now.

Run History!

We've also added a Run History screen, so you can look back at past victories and losses.

New NPCs and, as always, there have been a whole slew of general fixes and balance changes.

 * Print errors loading local and dev mods into the log, in addition to showing the engine warning.
 * wide strings are no longer considered 'plain' by serpent, and will get escaped and quoted when being serialized out by serpent.
