STS2 Patch Notes — 2023-08-04

Good Friday! We have a build for you 🎉

Build link: REDACTED

For this build we have... the DEFECT! _applause_

Our new boi is not quite complete yet. There are currently ~63 cards and a lot of UI/art missing. If anything feels _broken_ though, please do file a bug!

The Necrobinder is taking a break this build as we work on restructing some core mechanics for her.

There was also a massive architectural overhaul for how we handle localization, so please be on the lookout for any unusual or improperly formatted strings :).

• Continuing a run into the Neow room no longer softlocks
• Downgrading an afflicted card no longer causes a softlock
• Fabricator enemy no longer softlocks at the start of combat
