V0.1.20a

V0.1.20a of The BMO Files is now available for everyone. It's been a while since the last patch because I've been kind of stuck mentally on solving some of the issues in the backend the game has, and of course also on the other more major projects like BMO TV. This patch is actually a huge update, and while it introduces some new ways to play, it should also improve the development process in the future.

Changelog:

• added more card art (only grey and story-mode (tutorial) cards are missing now)

• new ranked-seasonal effects (each season will contain a different card on the board for both players at start, making the season play out slightly different than the last by providing a unique board effect, e.g. for this season "When a friendly program retires, draw a card")

• drastically improved AI programming (it is now better at almost everything, including playing spells, which it is still pretty stupid at, it is now on a better way forward, though.)

• made Singleplayer games available at all times (you gain a pack for beating each AI Challenge for the first time, and you can also complete certain Quests in Singleplayer games. The AI Challenge Decks have also been overhauled to fit the new abilities of the AI.)

• fixed a longstanding problem in the game logic, which made calculations way too complicated (this will probably not fix all the issues with the game immediately, but it will help the future development process immensely, and is also the reason why AI programming progress has finally continued.)
