1.0.0~dev1618b-PREVIEW

1618b: Various bugfixes
1613a: Fixed secret pack crash after opening multiple

What's Changed

This preview requires SMODS~BETA-1606b or higher

Hi, hello! I've been slowly working on the next update for the past few months and I think it's coming out ok. It's decent, passable even. But I need more people to play it to satisfy my ego (and because it needs more playtesting in general) so here's a preview update for JoyousSpring 1.0.

If you want to try any new addition before its full release you can clone the dev branch and join the discord for any assistance or to give feedback (all of it is appreciated!). The only note is that I'm not looking for any new archetype ideas at the time, sorry. Ideas for free agents that work with the current archetypes are appreciated tho!

What's added since last release:

• Blinds: New blinds using JoyousSpring mechanics and sometimes "ante-wide" effects.
• Opponent area: If you lose any of these aforementioned Blinds you don't lose the game. Instead, your "opponent" gets a penalty card that modifies the run. You can get shifter'd now basically.
• Side Deck: A place to save Jokers between rounds, to give you a chance to build towards some strategy without using your main slots. These can be used to summon from the extra deck while in the Side Deck screen.
• Secret Packs: Similar to Master Duel, these packs have a specific theme. You get a choice between some of these once per shop.
• New archetypes: Mimighoul, Artifact, Purrely, Beetrooper, Battlewasp, Zoodiac and Centur-Ion are playable.
• Some other QoL, UI and gameplay changes/enhancements.

What's left to do/fix:

• Blinds: I want to add some more but I'm not sure if they will make it to the next release.
• Opponent area: I feel that these are too rare right now so they might get modifications.
• Side Deck: This functionality is mostly done except you should be able to look at and sell jokers in it at any time and that's not possible at present.
• Secret Packs: These are half-done, the names are all placeholders and the themes are not finalized. There are not themes for the new archetypes added except for those that coincide with some other attribute for a pack I added earlier. I also don't know what to do with regular packs.
• New archetypes: White Forest, Dracotail, Sky Striker, Voiceless Voice, Drytron, Hazy Flame, Time Thief and, by popular demand against my will, Dark Magician will be added next update, alongside free agents that supplement their mechanics. Also the new Dogmatika and Solfachord cards will be added (Fleur Thunderbolt is already in actually), and probably some others if they release before I finish the update.
• I need to do even more QoL, UI and gameplay changes/enhancements, such as adding a tutorial for the mechanics (you can see the tutorials mentioned in the credits but they're not added at this moment)

A (just slightly) more detailed changelog will come with the next proper release.
