Hey Skeletons!

As some of you may know bosses and classes in False Hearts have abilities called "Transcend Abilities". Think of these abilities as limit breaks from final fantasy (a one-time use ultimate ability).

Upon the completion of commissioning the artwork for False Hearts, I had a few pieces of unused alt-art for certain Bosses. I really wanted to come up with a way I could use this alt-art in the game so that more of Luca's work could be included in this project.

That being said, as of today The Noblewoman, Pious Paeon, and Damocles the Desecrated will now be printed as double sided cards that serve a specific function and purpose. When one of these Bosses Transcends, simply flip the card over to show all players that you have now use your transcend ability and you have gained a new set of abilities. This not only gives me a place to share this artwork with others, it also adds a new layer of gameplay.

Now let's get onto some progress updates!

• After internal playtesting I've begun the painstaking process of reworking almost every skill in the game. There are a few reasons for this, but the biggest reason was that Classes didn't have enough abilities. I want you to have more options when you play, so that is my current focus at the moment.

• I ordered a new batch of test prints using the lowest level of card stock Make Playing Cards offers. The reason for this is that I want to compare all three levels of quality (Smooth, Standard Smooth, Super Smooth) before I make a final decision.

• I've commissioned one final piece of artwork from Luca. This one is pretty special and I can't wait to see what he does with it. I won't tell you what it is now but here is a hint: It is a pet that a certain class can summon. One of it's abilities is "Petrification Breath".

• I've decided to use the acronym XCG instead of ECG because XCG seems to be the industry standard for Expandable Card Game.

• I may hire an outside graphic designer to handle the skill card layout. It is somewhat beyond my skillset especially if I want it done right and I honestly do not have the patience or time to do page layout work.

That's it for now, thanks for your interest in False Hearts and I should have another update for you in May.
