Patch Notes 0.8.0
SKY MATES VERSION 0.8.0 PATCH NOTES
We are happy to announce A LOT of BIG changes to the gameplay, UI and functionality.
Gameplay
Basically everything is new and updated. We have streamlined our rules and hope that this makes the game more easily accessible and more fun whilst keeping all of the tactical complexity. That being said, here are the biggest changes:
I. No more passive abilities. All passive abilities have been removed. Every ability in the game is now something you can actively use in fun and creative ways.
II. No more cooldowns. Instead of having to keep track of cooldowns, there's a new type of action in the game, the Refresh-Action. With it you refresh all used abilities of your Mates.
III. New abilities. Almost all abilities have changed in some way, but some are also brandnew. The Tank can now ram other units and push them into holes. And the Doc can now take a health point from one Mate and give it to another. Other notable changes in abilities include the Mechanic now changing the location of floor squares instead of adding or removing them, the Shooter not hitting a line, but a single unit without range restriction, and the Captain taking over a unit for one action instead of one turn.
Apart from that there are general changes to the gameplay, such as adding Movement Pattern as a stat and making all abilities work in a star pattern. We strongly recommend reading the new rules pdf or the tutorial section in game - our rules are now simple and short enough so we could fit all of them in there!
UI
We have redesigned basically all of our menues to fit the theme of Sky Mates and we hope you enjoy the visuals. Also we have added a lot of indicators during the fight phase to make it easier to track what's going on.
Functionality
In order to make some of our new abilities work we have temorarily disabled online functionality until it's usable again. But even in local mode you have more options to customize your game time and map selection.
Overall this is the patch with the most changes since launch. Our aim is to provide you with something interesting and fun you can do in every turn, so you're always able to make the game swing in your favour or at least perform a memorable moment of mischief. Have fun and let us know what you think!
