With this update, the graphics have been vastly improved: Coregrounds is now HD, the textures have been completely reworked - and there have been loads of small changes to improve clarity and reduce visual confusion. The following image shows the graphics after and before the update:
With this patch I also introduced a recoloring system: you can now choose a color to personalize your Coregrounds client and the game's web interface:
And last but not least: I've added a proper AI to the game, which means that now you'll be able to play at any time without having to find a human opponent. And be wary: that AI is mean and will get better just like you do. It might be easy on you at first - but will definitely try to kick some ass later! The following GIF is from a match against the AI and shows the beginning of the end of the match: I lost horribly! ;-)
Apart from these big changes, I have also added and changed several gameplay elements:
- Added the minion limit system
- The targeting system has been vastly improved
- The target preference selection has been simplified
- You can now choose a preferred target for healers
- The armor bonus walls get if connected now caps at 200
- Reconnecting to running games now works properly
Thanks for reading and see you on the Coregrounds!
