Thank you so much for checking out the blog here! I'm really stunned at the moment with the progress I've been making! It's been a really tough couple of months and not due to the game but because I had a ton of things happening in real life! When you go through tough times and you don't feel so good about doing things just take a step back and focus on what you want to achieve! 

Inventory system *I thought it would be impossible!*

When the player begins the game in the new version only a handful of cards will be available to use! Gain new cards either through buying them with the money earned from dueling or by recieving them through Quests / Progress / Story! So now it will really feel like a collectable card game! 

In this example I open the store, buy a card and it will be permantly added to the card collection to be used.

In the next update Crystal Duel will be downloadable. The web version will be there for those who would like to casually play or test the cards which can be purchased in game! 

Speaking to the duelists: More dialogue and friendship building.

To advance friendship with Clara, 5 duels are required. This is part of the new condition system and all of the duelists have conditions to be met through dueling to build a friendship with them.

Each duelist can be spoken to and each duelist can be made a friend, or they may not! Depending on who you speak to and what you choose to say there are chances that a duelist may want to know you more and possibly give rewarding cards, or they may avoid you or avoid conversation. This goes even further, when dueling against any of the  duelists as they will also become more friendly and add opportunites and even rewards for spending time and building that friendship / raport which will shape your story. 

A word of warning does come with this new system. There may be key choices that you make which may then make other duelists you became friends with become less likely to speak with you! They could become dissapointed in the way you treated someone or by getting to know others who are toxic or part of a "bad few" You won't really know this unless you find out more about those who have bad intentions.

I surely hope these updates will give the game a real sense of being part of a worlds where CCG dueling can be simulated in a way that would be realistic and challenging. I've more research to do although if you're a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh and CCG competions or Proffesional E- Gaming then you'll enjoy the  simulation and where it goes! To Rule the Duel will take some doing, climb the ranks and become the Champion! Just be wary of the dark force which is lurking!
