Chaos Theory

This week’s puzzle focus belongs to good ol’ Jehora Jeheyu, who often feels maligned and misunderstood because, you know, god of chaos and such. Dedicated players will already understand that constructing an actual puzzle around this deity is a somewhat awkward concept, so we kinda made this one into a (very light) narrative piece while we were at it for all the lore-whores out there.

After recovering from the hectic craziness of last week (which kinda leaked into this week’s schedule, too) we put a bit more time into interface and progression tweaks — something that will hopefully take more precedence in the weeks to come as we move emphasis away from balance tweaks and towards getting DD somewhat more “audience ready”.

This includes exotic measures such as moving the dungeon screen one pixel to the left, and fixing some Kingdom tooltips. You’re welcome.

Well, no, there’s a bit more than that. Still a bit of a slow week, but hey, definitely better than the last update’s trainwreck! Changelog happily follows:
