Hello everyone!

As we announced last week, here is the first big update for Coldridge! With this one we want to open the game to a wider audience by offering diverse gameplay experiences:

• Cozy: Perfect to discover the game or to focus on the ambiance and story.
  
• Challenging: A more challenging experience where you will need more planning and gambling to keep your head above the water.
  
• Mercyless: A truly traumatizing experience where you will need to pull every strings to not be crushed by the guild.

New steam achievements come for each difficulty levels!

Note: the balancing that was in the game until now is the 'Challenging' difficulty level. Your progress will not be lost.

We also added a button share your game recaps as a beautiful gif so you can brag about your successes in Coldridge with your friends.

Along with this new features, you'll also find the usual batch of new stuff and fixes:


- feat: buff gambler capability: from [+25%, +75%] to [+1, +50%] goal increase when gambling.
- feat: lower price for 'Familiar Terrain' item: from 150 to 100.
- feat: ensure that 'Spawn Portals' ritual does not spawn portals next to each other.


- feat: game recap shinyness improve
- feat: remove roaming merchant after buying their item.
- feat: display pledge won and highscore per character in progression screen.
- feat: unlock cozy narration achievements when challenging one are already unlocked (compatibility for old saves).
- fix: don't record 'empty' games in game history.
- fix: remove gold rock from gold mine to avoid confusion when a gold resource is still present on the tile.
- fix: issue where game recap was not marked with pledge finished when going endless then giving up.
- fix: issue where it was possible to pass multiple years when spamming buttons.
- fix: issue where save was not loaded correctly when copied from another folder.
- fix: issue where it was not possible to read item description in outgame.
- fix: typo in french localization

Dear players,

We're so happy to see you're all enjoying our game and are overwhelmed to see some of y'all high scores (1.5M is the highest so far).

We fixed some of the game's loopholes (hi backpack!), and are now working towards a new update.
We heard your complaints about the Gambler being too hard to play, and we realize some players like the challenging aspect of the puzzle while some others feel pressured by it.

For that purpose we're happy to announce we'll be introducing a new difficulty system, for each player to choose how they want to enjoy the game. The update should come with some other fixes in a couple of weeks.

We'll keep you posted!
