Nencraft 0.3.0

The Greed Island update, plus Gungi.

Greed Island

• Getting in: Battera's castle appears in the world. Pass Tsezguerra's selection by showing him your Ren, then hold your hands over one of Battera's Joy Stations with Ren active to be pulled into the game.
• The island: a whole new dimension with its own coasts, forests, mountains and lake. Start, where Eta explains the rules and hands you the game's ring, and the towns of Antokiba, Masadora, Aiai and Soufrabi, and the port.
• Cards: everything you pick up becomes a card. Say "Book" to open your binder and "Gain" to turn a card back into the real thing. Cards outside the Book revert after a minute, and nothing of the game's comes out with you.
• Spells: 41 spell cards, bought in packs at Masadora's Spell Card Shop and cast by name ("Peek on, ..."). Travel, steal, defend, and find other players.
• Monsters: 34 kinds of card monsters, from Bubble Horses to the Sea Serpent, each beaten into its own card.
• Other players: a cast of 17 NPC players live their own lives on the island: they trade with you, team up, and the bandits among them try to rob you.
• The 100 Specified cards: each one has its own way to be won (quests, riddles, contests, bosses, hidden places) and its own effect when gained.
• The story:
  • Bisky's seven days of training, which teaches Ryu.
  • Razor's dodgeball match for Soufrabi.
  • The Bombers and their Countdown.
  • Paladin's Keep and its trials.
  • The Mad Scientist's lab.
  • The Sea Serpent King, and more.
• Clearing the game:
  • Fill all 100 slots and the Game Masters receive you in their castle on the lake. You choose three cards to take out of the game for good, and hear the maker's message.
  • Battera has a reward waiting, and a story to tell.
  • Clearers get a title in the tab list and can come back with a fresh Book.

Gungi

• A craftable Gungi Board (black dye, ink sac and white dye over three spruce slabs). The pieces stand on it in the world; right-click to play on a clear board screen.
• The full game: a 9x9 board, towers up to three high, 14 kinds of piece, placing pieces from your hand, and checkmate.
• Play another player, or the computer at Easy, Normal or Hard.
• Gungi players in Yorknew, Zaban City and the Heavens Arena lobby play you for a stake you choose.
• Ask them who's the best, and they'll send you to Komugi, the blind champion in a village far away who has never lost.

Nen

• Ryu: shift your aura between attack and defence as you fight.
• Techniques can now be mastered: a mastered technique costs less aura to hold, and a mastered En reaches further.

Fixes

• Kiriko's son can now actually be caught in the exam's chase in survival.
• Hisoka now appears on the 200 Class fight board once Kastro is beaten, and can be booked like any other fighter.

Notes

• Servers and players must all update to 0.3.0 together.
• Back up your worlds before updating. In an existing world, Battera's castle is built the first time it's needed.
