Update 2024:43 - Spectate Mode

Non-Weekly Devlog #4!

Main new thing: Spectator mode! (more on that below)

Additions

New Cards

The following new cards have been released since the last update post and were added as they came out: Silver Bullet, Plain Protection, Reactive Attack, Water Creation, Elena, Lightning Necromage, Lightning Necromancy, Righteous Light, Call of the Dark, Mermaighost and Underworld Reinforcements

Features

Spectator Mode:

When in a lobby, you can now spectate games in progress. The system is still rather rudimentary but it does work.
If you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvements, I'd be happy to hear about them. (I also already have a list of planned features of my own, but I wanted to finally get this out)
