Lucadian Chronicles has been updated to version 1.2. Developer Dark Roast has addressed several bugs, and has added a number of details.

Read on below for the full patch notes.

Client Version 1.02

Bug Fixes

• More general stability changes.
• Fixed issue where taking screenshot via built-in Miiverse button could result in dark, washed-out image.
• Fixed clicking through resources quickly making them not register in UI.
• Fixed some sound skipping / stuttering issues.
• Fixed music cutting out in some cases involved poison counters.
• Added more messaging to 4-player draft to make it more clear what is happening in the case where you are waiting for other players to finish.
• Fixed “winner” text in draft sometimes appearing next to person who lost.
• Fixed issue with daily challenge timer.

Features

• Battle animations – melee units now ram into other units, and ranged units fire projectiles. We did this to make battle look better and also add clarity – it should now be a little more obvious that heroes attack enemies closest to opposite of them.
• League matching changes – leagues now work a bit differently in a few ways. You will no longer be matched up with people outside of your league, or not battle someone in your league. Now leagues don’t start until enough people join or a certain amount of time passes – after that each person in a league battles each other person twice. We will keep an eye on leagues and adjust the timing, minimum number of entrants, etc, if needed.
• League tiers – players who do well in bronze leagues can now be promoted to silver leagues. Silver leagues will have tougher competition but also higher rewards.
• You can now hold down the B button during evolution animation to speed it up.
• We’ve added the ability to schedule special drafts with better rewards. We want to do our best to ensure that people can find players to play against, so we’ll look to use these drafts to schedule times that people can congregate around.

Thanks to Cameron for the tip.

Lucadian Chronicles has received a fairly notable update. Plenty of changes have been made to improve the experience, many of which are small modifications.

Below are the full update notes:

• When the client encounters networking issues it will now retry and show a window with the spinning wheel and retry count, rather than forcing the game to exit. We hope this will alleviate the vast majority of network-related exits.
• Countdown text in draft is now yellow instead of red when time is running out, to make numbers more readable on the gamepad.
• Made numerous changes / fixes to jumping back to draft from other screens.
• Fixed some client text issues, including “cardss” and “23th”
• The “end” button now appears in a battle if a draft the player is queued up for fills up with players, so that the player can quickly finish the battle then jump to draft.
• “Launch full miiverse” window is now closed before Miiverse is launched, so it no longer shows up in screenshots.
• “Launch full miiverse” window no longer sometimes appears behind the enemy cards.
• “Launch full miiverse” window now shows the name of the topic that Miiverse will open to.
• Fixed an issue with the client occasionally crashing on the collection screen. This issue is hard to reproduce, so we’re not 100% sure if this is completely fixed.
• Fixed an issue with the client occasionally crashing on the the shop screen. This issue is hard to reproduce, so we’re not 100% sure if this is completely fixed.
• Fixed ability text from older evolved cards showing up when you evolve an unrelated card.
• Fixed state issues with more rows / less rows buttons being disabled when they shouldn’t be.
• Fixed Miiverse posts showing up on unowned cards in the almanac.
• Fixed the almanac not showing new cards after you visit it once.
• Fixed a bug where a completed objective could be marked as incomplete.
• The order of the colors of the team creation connectors now matches the order used in the collection view. (The order was previously reversed, with green on the bottom and white on the top)
• Fixed the title of the league team being in the wrong place in the lab for the bottom team.
• Fixed the draft status “pizza bar” sticking around when players leave a draft and remain queued.
• Fixed client occasionally crashing when doing a Daily Challenge.

Thanks to Cameron for the tip.

Dark Roast Entertainment recently revealed its debut title, “Lucadian Chronicles”. The game will be coming to the Wii U eShop sometime in the future.

Here’s an overview straight from Dark Roast:

Lucadian Chronicles is a strategy game where you form teams of 5 heroes in different configurations and pit them against other teams. Rather than going into details… have you ever played Magic the Gathering, or Pokemon? If so, have you ever spent some time sitting on your carpet creating your deck as you simulate in your head how the deck is gonna work? Well, Lucadian Chronicles is a game about that moment; thinking and imagining how it’s gonna work.

Lucadian Chronicles will make use of the Wii U’s various features, including Miiverse support, GamePad functionality, and more.
