Hey guys! In this week’s update we show a preview of the completely overhauled UI — we also reveal another never-before seen creature and give a sneak-peek of an ICO creature. Enjoy!

UI overhaul

As we mentioned in last week’s update, a team from Apple gave us some valuable feedback and suggestions on our UI. Taking into consideration their recommendations as well as the feedback from the community, we’ve overhauled our UI. The biggest change you’ll notice is that we’ve changed the main UI colors from gold & bronze to black, silver and blue.

The reason for this change is that the gold borders drained the colors from the rest of the UI and it made it difficult to know what was a button and what was an info box. All buttons now have a blue outline to stipulate the difference, compared to everything being gold previously. This will also assist in improving the user experience by making it clear where users need to click.

We’ve also created a new Deck Builder UI! This version is a lot cleaner and easier on the eyes. It has a better structure in terms of being able to customize decks and we’ve also improved the way that important information is displayed on each available card.

Have a look at some of the previews below and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts once you get to experience the new UI after next week’s release!

The deck builder has been simplified and improved to make cards more intuitive. Individual cards are now clearer and provide more information. Equipping new ability cards to the Battle Deck has also been simplified.

Introducing….Arkho!

Here is a brand new creature that will be included in next week’s deployment!

Arkho is a powerful being from beyond the Realm, who for years, travelled the Datasphere seeking the strongest opponents he could find to battle against — not to defeat them, but only to strengthen himself by identifying any weaknesses and flaws in his Cybernetic design.

Descending from the star-dappled night sky, Arkho requested an audience with Galaxia, whom he thought would provide a great fight to truly test his Cybernetics. After hearing Arkho’s reasoning, Galaxia accepted the challenge and the pair engaged in a battle for the ages. Arkho was granted his wish, Galaxia gave him the fight of his life, but the ferocious bear and God of Battle was too mighty for him.

After being defeated, Arkho bowed down before Galaxia and promised to return stronger and greater for a rematch. Extending his wings, he ascended into the darkened sky and did not return for an age.

Finally, Arkho returned to the Realm, feeling ready for his rematch with Galaxia — he felt it was his fate to defeat the God of Battle. However, when he returned, he found the corrupted Dark Rhule wreaking havoc on the Realm, displaying power arguably greater than that of the Gods themselves. Arkho had a new target.

He found Galaxia and pledged his allegiance to the Augmentors, hoping for an opportunity to fight Dark Rhule — the ultimate test.

Will you be the one to train Arkho in preparation of his fight against Dark Rhule? Or will you be the one to turn him to fight on the side of the Shadowmentors?

Sneak-Peek: Headeron

We’ve been working hard on getting the token sale creatures ready and are sharing another sneak-peek to help token holders decide on which creatures they want in the swap. For those who missed our last sneak-peak of Galaxia, Axel and Sledgewood, check it out here.

Now for Headeron… Headeron is a Hero/Villain level creature that was sold as part of the token sale in 2017.

Headeron is an extremely powerful psychic; he can confuse his opponents and has even been known to be able to make Augmentors turn on one another. A mischievous Igor-like creature, Headeron returned with Dark Rhule from the void — his origins are completely unknown; he had never been to the Bello Realm prior to his appearance alongside Dark Rhule.

Headeron seemed to have found his purpose in the ranks of the Shadowmentors, following Dark Rhule wherever he goes. Although somewhat of a nuisance, his power is undeniable.

Headeron

Headeron is a Legendary creature, with a maximum token supply of 50. His starting stats are:

Health: 450

Mana: 1.9

Defense: 150

Attack: 200

Check out the full 3D versions below!

Reminder of the new deployment schedule

A reminder that we’ll be releasing a new version every two weeks in line with our new development sprint cycle. The latest version (1.0.6) of Augmentors should be available from Wednesday November 14 in the app stores and will include the new UI and creature Arkho. The previous version won’t be compatible so you’ll need to install the update to continue battling for dominance! You can find the all of our release notes on our website here.
