[h2]🛠️ Megabattle Demo – Smarter Battles & UI Upgrades (v1.0.4)[/h2][p]Hey pilots![/p][p]We’ve just deployed version 1.0.4 of the Megabattle demo, and it’s packed with quality-of-life improvements, visual polish, and a smarter battle experience. While this isn’t a full content update, it brings crucial refinements that make fights feel more responsive, strategic, and satisfying.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🧠 Smarter Combat[/h3][p]Introducing the Damage Predictor:
You can now preview how your attack will affect the enemy’s armor, integrity, and special traits like plated and spiked — even during enemy turns.
This makes planning your moves much more transparent and strategic.[/p][p]We also added a radar effect that shows when your parts are being targeted — giving you more clarity on incoming threats.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]👁️ Visual Feedback & UI Polish[/h3]

• [p]Turn display is now centered and more prominent (“Your Turn” / “Enemy Turn”).[/p]
• [p]Enemy hands now retain played cards with a transparent effect — you can track what’s been used.[/p]
• [p]Cards now have hover effects in rewards and battles that feel more responsive.[/p]
• [p]The workshop panel now only shows unequipped parts, making management easier.[/p]
• [p]Stats like PWR, DEF, and status effects now use icons (ongoing update).[/p]
• [p]Battle tooltips have been reworked to avoid visual clutter and now scale with text.[/p]
• [p]ESC now opens settings in battle (soon across all menus).[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]🧪 System Improvements[/h3]

• [p]Power-up cards now require a confirmation click after placing them in the center.[/p]
• [p]Robots start with a weak torso, but can equip a standard one with a modifier — a meaningful early-game decision.[/p]
• [p]Better hover zones for cards in the hand (you don’t have to go all the way up to un-hover).[/p]
• [p]New tutorial triggers to help first-time players.[/p]
• [p]And yes, the card and part emoji cleanup is in progress![/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]🐞 Bug Fixes & Tweaks[/h3]
