Hi all,Thanks for playing and for the bug reports! Soon we'll be communicating more about our plans and future, stay tunned!This patch covers a round of balance improvements, quality of life changes, and several bug fixes.BALANCE & ENHANCEMENTS:General:Difficulty now ramps up faster across levels. The intent of continuing to stay in a level after portal opens is to have a risk / reward of staying longer vs securing the level beaten.Increased soul rewards of level 2 and 3. Now level 2 grants 30 souls and level 3 grants 100.To compensate for the increased rewards, some higher level talents have increased in price. If you have already purchased them, then you got a bargain!Portals now take 5 seconds longer to open: 35s on levels 1 and 2, 40s on level 3.UI:In battle you can see Dash cooldown icons and the time to spawn a new bomb.Maxed-out nodes now are shown more differently than not affordable ones.Added links to Discord and the Feedback formAdded in-game panel to show patch notesBUG FIXES:General:Massive performance improvement. FPS should now be much more stable and performance-related crashes should no longer occur. Please report if you still experience any performance issues.Levels 4 and 5 were not intended to be playable, but they were. Now they are not (for now!)Fixed Reporting Bugs screen not loading correctly and changed reporting button from F5 to F2. Fixed navigation on the Reporting Bugs screen (WASD now works correctly).In Process:Some users have reported a crash on the Game Over screen when beating a level. I haven’t been able to reproduce it, but I’ve made some changes which hope will fix it Thanks for the continued feedback. More updates soon!

New update! We've heard your feedback on wanting to play all levels on endless without any token limits, so we've added a mode for that now. You'll find a checkbox on endless levels 1-8 to play the unrestricted versions. We wanted to get this out sooner rather than later, so some additional balancing may still be needed. Please let us know what you think!We've also increased HP scaling again on waves 20 and above in endless. This should most notably affect level 9, so we've gone ahead and reset the leaderboard on it. Full changes below: Added Unrestricted Endless mode. Levels 1-8 can now also be played without any token limits, with separate enemy scaling and leaderboards. The endless challenge can still be completed in this mode. Increased token limit on Level 2 Endless from 1000 triangle tokens to 2500Fixed a bug that counted two of the same artifact as only one in the token limited modesIncreased HP scaling of endless waves above 20Fixed a bug that caused the "Master" achievement to not activate when beating an endless levelVarious performance improvements
Fixed - 1. When turning off sound player is now able to turn off both music and all other sound effects. 2. Game is no more forced to be over the top, and other windows can overlay it.

A small update to fix a few issues. One of the problems reported by the community was related to the price of animals inside barns and coops, which was showing an incorrect value compared to the actual selling price.

Hi everyone!It's day 4 of patches since Card Corner released, and we're continuing the trend with yet another one!This patch is a bit more intrusive, so we've actually put it into the beta branch, instead of on the game itself. Once we've confirmed that everything works as intended, the patch will make its way to everyone else. I suspect that will be either today or tomorrow!NOTE: the beta build is now available for everyone!To access the beta branch, do the following:Right click on Card Corner in your Steam LibraryClick Properties and then BetasClick testingAnd that should be it! After that you should be able to access the new beta build. Anyways, below are the patch notes!Fixed a bug that caused some loot to have incorrect EV previews (e.g. elemental and momentum loot)Fixed a bug that made it such that the luck system didn't properly consider momentum for more than 1 sample Fixed a bug with the scientific notation displayFixed a bug that made it such that high blinds have too much text in the requirements bar, causing an overflow in the displayIncreased the maximum amount of loot on the floor from 8 to 12Fixed a bug that caused the Purple Staff to be craftable with incorrect lootFixed bug that made it such that crafting recipes in the compendium incorrectly determined whether you had discovered its precursors or notIf you have any more feedback, make sure to join our Discord or post in the Steam discussions! (P.S. The Card Corner X Desktop Defender bundle is still live, get the discount on either or both while the sale is at this rate!)Also, if you're enjoying the game, I would REALLY appreciate it if you reviewed it. It's the best thing you can do to support the game if you're enjoying it!Thanks again!- Conrad, Lead Developer

Hello everyone! Here are the changes in the game: FPS increased. Upgrade points reset added to game. Kill count can now be obtained by killing mobs and bosses with lower numbers.
A lot of features have been added to the game since launch, so calling this 1.1 now! This update specifically adds a number of new things (including switching between number formats!), plus some bug fixes as always.Highlights include:Can now switch between abbreviated (14.7 M) and scientific (1.47e7) number formatsSliders to control the automatic production ratesDarker dark modeNew Features:Added a setting to control the format numbers are displayed with, abbreviated (14.7 M) or scientific (1.47e7)Changed the default renderer to DirectX3D 12, should help with some of the issues caused by Vulkan (specifically crashing or not launching)Added sliders to control the auto production rates, to help balance things if you'd likeDarker dark modeNukes can be made (only manually though) after continuing from the endingAdded more \ tutorial reminders to various systemsResearch will apply to new/existing if that is all there is but the slider is set all the way to the opposite (no more wasted research)Acquire Research upgrade can be bought from the research tab now tooCan research and buy bigger amounts of materials and mines/refineriesThe number of auto upgrades bought is now listed when hovering over that upgradeAdded some extra checks to help unlock the new achievementsAdded cheat codes for adding money or products (use "showmethemoney" to get $1 million, you'll have to figure out the others ;)Bug Fixes:Fixed auto production turning off on loadContracts now scale off of the max rate you've attained for each product and material, so that you can't cheese them by not producing things for a little bit
Hi everyone!Today’s update includes a variety of smaller improvements and fixes, but there is one change we especially want to highlight:Over the last few months, we have been working on improving The Perfect Tower II’s localization system and with this update, around 90% of the game can now be localized.This is especially important for everyone in the community helping with translations. Many strings that were previously hardcoded or difficult to access are now part of the localization system, making translations much easier to create and maintain.There are still a few areas of the game that are not fully localizable yet, but the vast majority of text should now be available.We really appreciate all the effort the community puts into making The Perfect Tower II accessible to more players around the world. One of our next steps will be to communicate how we're going to handle all the different languages and how you can get involved. Once everything is localizable we're ready for a proper localization update!Please let us know if you find any missing translations or broken labels and of course any bugs you find.Thank you for your continued support!

Hello bosses! There’s a new update available on Steam. GENERALSteam Cloud Save feature is now complete, but not enabled.

Missions have also been shifted towards post-game (level 100+) to give players more studio power bonuses as they continue their ascentASCENSION is now in the game! Players who get to the end of one of the five story routes will be able to Ascend. Ascension restarts the game at New Game+ and is selectable in the menu. Most things in the game will reset once a player opts into Ascension, however players will keep any legacy items (player route completion rewards) as well as having talent points roll over. There may also be a surprise or two at the start of NG+ awaiting players!Note: Ascension is now in the game, but in a mostly basic version. Our next patch will include new Planetarium content that will allow for players to spend their newly earned talent points in progressing further up the levels, as well as getting access to more base studio power and output increases. At present we expect most players will be able to top out around level 200, so if you can make it further than this, send us some screenshots!BALANCEBathtub debuff duration reduced along with rank scaling, as well as starting rank now CommonMagic Wand cooldown up from 150 to 300, rank scaling down from RANK*30 to RANK*15Monocle has received a rework:Gain 10 Credits.
