  "account": "Slay the Spire 2 has been progressing steadily since it entered early access in March, but the developers at Mega Crit announced that updates will now be released every two weeks instead of weekly. In an August Neowronline newsletter, Mega Crit explained that the reduced update frequency will allow them to focus on developing more substantial content, such as new game modes and an alternate Act 2. Additionally, they revealed that a new character with a bandaged foot will be introduced. However, other features, such as ascending to Ascension 20 and stackable enchantments, are not planned for the sequel. Mega Crit also clarified that future updates will prioritize deckbuilding over cardbuilding, and they will not be adding realistic-looking firearms to the game.",
  "summary": "Slay the Spire 2 has been moving at a solid pace since it launched into early access back in March, but back in May developer Mega Crit shared that updates would be switching to once every two weeks as opposed to the previously promised weekly updates. Now, as outlined in the game's August Neowsletter, Mega Crit say they'll be slowing down once again, though not necessarily forever. Read more",
