We didn’t think we really did a whole lot would be included in this changelog until we looked back at our week! A lot of the features that we built or buttoned up had to do with automation around our season ends, season beginnings and content releases. With the beta season “All for One” ending in just under two weeks, we had to make sure the plan for the Overlord Challenge, new cards, and automatically starting up with our Cosm!c Saturday season was all set. We want to start trying to move away from our weekly builds and into a more proactive and less invasive monthly build.

Leaderboard Stabilization & System Architecture Review

Leaderboard Fixes

SDK Rollback Success: Reverted the Unity Leaderboards SDK from 2.3.4 to 2.2.0 after identifying a service registration issue in the newer build. Leaderboards are now initializing properly again.
Leaderboard Stability Restored: Global scores are loading reliably again, with no more initialization errors.
Code Cleanup: Removed temporary workaround logic introduced during debugging and returned the system to its intended, cleaner architecture.

Architecture Confirmation

Automated Card Releases: Confirmed card releases and embargoes operate independently of app updates. Content can be shipped well in advance and unlocked automatically by schedule.
Per-Card Embargo Timing: Season Pass card embargoes are tracked individually from each card’s release date.
Overlord Challenge Scheduling: Verified Off-Season windows open and close automatically based entirely on season timestamps.

Workflow Cadence

The content pipeline now supports a sustainable four-updates-per-year cadence, with full seasons developed and shipped in batches for hands-off releases during live operation.
