IWC 0.44 Patch Notes

November 23^th 2021, IWC Version 0.44

Major Features

Multi Targeting

• The first iteration of multi-targeting is here!
• A key feature to helping the majority of the remaining Infinity Wars 1 cards to be ported across is multi-targeting, the ability to target multiple cards with a single source as well as allow multiple activations of cards with on-field abilities.
• This feature required a significant rewritting of our targeting UI as well as some networking code. This is due to the Infinity Engine being built initially for only mobile play in mind, meaning that ease of targeting and network packet size were significant limitations. However as our focus has shifted to IWC, Multi-Targeting has been a long standing feature request from the community and we are happy to finally be able to release it to everyone.
• With the release of this feature we are also able to revert several card redesigns such as Cannon Fire and Fight!
• Expect to see many more multi-targeting cards in future patches.
• Please report any bugs found to us, as this feature touches many different systems in the codebase.

New Targeting Arrow Graphics

While overhauling our targeting UI for multitargeting we have modified the targeting arrows to a lovely new look, as well as being more consistent with the color coding of each arrow to showcase if the effect is positive (Blue), Negative (Red), or Neutral (Yellow)

Store Updates

The cosmetics section of the Store is now open, with a number of purchasable Portraits and Titles for your profile. Be sure to take a look!
