Dev Diary: Patch 0.9.05.g "Gamma card engine launch" & Patch Notes
MAJOR FEATURE: New Trailer
At the beginning of the game you’ll now see our brand new Infinity Heroes reveal trailer. We are very excited to expand the lore and story of the Infinity Multiverse and have many hints at what is to come in our new trailer. It’s also available on our website and social media, so you can find it on our Youtube channel.
MAJOR FEATURE: Card Customization Redux
We have made major changes to how you can customize your cards in roguelike mode, and other future gamemodes. This allows you to change the name or artwork of any card you have access to, local to your machine. So don’t worry, you won’t be seeing poorly drawn cans of beer in your Infinity Heroes online games any time soon.
NEW HERO: Spartacus
In partnership with XCT comics we have added this new aggressive hero, that specializes in defeating other aggressive decks. He’s also the first hero we’ve got that has a distinctively different art style, paying hommage to his origins as a Comic book character in his art and animations. This is something we’re experimenting with, and we’re curious to hear what you think.

In our latest patch “Gamma card engine launch”, a lot of our focus was only on two specific things. Firstly, the launch of Spartacus, as his world and ours collide during the XCT Infinity Comic series. If you haven’t, go and check out the comic’s Kickstarter page here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/2067957354/xct-infinity-issue-1?ref=zzkppq
His play style is very based on his character in the comics series, high aggression, and fantastic at causing chaos amongst his enemies ranks.
Next up, the Gamma release of the Infinity Card Engine comes with a lot more customisation, and our new intro trailer. You can replace any artwork or name on any card, to really make this game YOURS. Will you rename your heroes to friends and family? Maybe replace a character with an OC? Or fill your game with things you love in pop culture in general? Either way, you have the freedom to do just that, like never before. And, with all changes being local to the machine, you won’t need to worry about people yelling at you for liking the things you like. We support you, fam. <3
We also have a Patreon announcement and FAQ going live at the same time as this, so check the page out here: https://www.infinityheroesgame.com/blog-1/2020/9/22/iwcfaq
Additionally, Infinity Heroes is 50% off on Steam this week, so if you wanna get a friend into the game, tell ‘em now is the best chance, but more importantly, XCT Infinity is on now, so go and back the campaign so you don’t miss out on this first crossover event!
And as always, we’d love to hear from everyone on Discord, where we’ve been hosting Dev Team streams, where our players can come and chat, challenge us to a game, and ask us whatever’s on their mind across any of our games. If you’re not already there, check the link out and we’ll meet you there!
