Patch Notes #3 - 27.10.16

This update is only a small one which makes some addresses to the UI.

- The options button is now more visible as is the tutorial

- Local game now has a 'game menu' screen and doesn't immediately take you in to game set up, this provides a more consistent experience with navigating the menus and will hopefully help make things easier for game setup menus in the future when we develop this feature further.

- There is now a tutorial 'auto-prompt' upon launching the game for anyone that has not played the game before.


We intended to have Pirates ready for releasing this week but we have found the majority of bugs and issues that have been raised by both the QA team and the community have come from similar areas. With this in mind the programming team have decided to tear out a lot of old code that deals with how a card is targeted, affected and controlled and redesign those areas. The intention of this is to move towards a more generic behaviour that manages all cards, which should help to decrease code complexity and increase the rate at which further content can be created. This means that the next update will have, along with the Pirate deck, some pretty major logic updates that should reduce the amount of bugs that we see and this will allow us steam straight into getting the Robots faction completed and ready for release.
