Cubic Cosmos News

[p]First of all, we want to sincerely thank you for supporting Cubic Cosmos. Since launch, we've received far more feedback and suggestions than we ever expected. We know the game is far from perfect in its current state, yet so many of you have chosen to encourage us and share your honest thoughts. Seeing your passion has been both moving and inspiring, and it strengthens our determination to keep polishing the game.[/p][p]Among the feedback we've received, two topics stand out as the most frequently mentioned: archetype balance and the Doll system. We'd like to share some of our current thoughts and the direction we plan to take moving forward.[/p][p][/p][h3]Archetype Balance[/h3][p]Archetype balance is something many of you care deeply about. We understand that some archetypes feel too strong, too weak, or too difficult to make work.[/p][p]Here's how we're approaching it:[/p][p]We don't intend to take the conventional route of nerfing whatever's strong until everything feels the same.[/p][p]We know nerf-heavy balancing can feel extremely frustrating. We want to preserve a sense of fun and power.[/p][p]When it comes to adjusting cards, Relics, and hero skills, we'll be careful and deliberate.[/p][p]Our priority will be to improve the cards and items that currently see little to no use—whether that means buffing their attributes or fully reworking them—so they become exciting, viable options.[/p][p]Our vision of ideal balance is one where every card and item has a role to play within its archetype, making it easier for different builds to come together and shine across the game's many modes.[/p][p]Once the most critical bugs have been resolved, we'll begin working on new content while also gradually rolling out balance improvements.[/p][p]If at any point we make a change that feels like a step backward, please don't hesitate to let us know—whether that's in the Steam forums or by joining our Discord and telling us directly.[/p][p]For us, progress comes from open communication.[/p][p][/p][h3]Doll System[/h3][p]We've also noticed that high-score Dolls feel somewhat awkward in the current game. If they appear early in a run, they can make encounters far too easy; if they appear later, they often feel underwhelming.[/p][p]To address this, we're planning to expand the way Dolls work in future updates. Our current idea is to allow players to bring multiple Dolls at the start of a run so that they can enjoy the thrill of using a high-scoring Doll.[/p][p]Our goal is for Dolls across all score levels—from low to high—to each have meaningful and enjoyable roles to play.[/p][p][/p][p]Once again, thank you all for your continued support and feedback![/p][p]Please keep on sharing your experiences and ideas with us, and together we'll make Cubic Cosmos even better.[/p]

[p]Hail, Cosmonauts![/p][p]A number of players have recently reported that Steam Cloud saves have been failing.[/p][p]Currently, no game seems to have an optimal solution for this issue, which most commonly occurs when switching between different devices. Please see below for some suggested fixes which we hope will help you to prevent save loss and restore your saves.[/p][p][/p][h3]How to Restore Your Saves[/h3]

1. [p]When you encounter the issue, do not quit the game.[/p]
2. [p]Download your cloud save files.[/p][p]Log in to your Steam account, then on the Steam homepage click “Help” → “Steam Support” → “My Account” → “Data Related to Your Steam Account.” Scroll down to “Uploaded Content” and find “Steam Cloud.”[/p]
3. [p]Overwrite and verify your saves.[/p][p]Exit the game and overwrite your local save file with the cloud save file, then restart the game.[/p][p]If your in-game progress is as expected, the issue has been resolved. If not, then carry on to the next step."[/p]
4. [p]Access the device with the latest save.[/p][p]Make a backup of the save file on the device with the newest save, then switch Steam to offline mode to prevent the local save from being overwritten.[/p][p]Enter the game and confirm that your game progress is as expected, then exit the game and switch Steam back to online mode.[/p][p]When Steam notifies you of a conflict between local and cloud saves, choose to save the local file to the cloud. This should fix the issue.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]How to Avoid This Issue[/h3]

1. [p]After exiting the game, make sure your Steam Cloud saves are synced before quitting Steam.[/p]
2. [p]Periodically restart Steam to trigger cloud save checks. Avoid leaving Steam idle for long periods of time, which can lead to inconsistencies.[/p]
3. [p]We suggest making manual backups of important save files.[/p]

[p][/p][p]We have also added a few precautionary measures as part of today's v0.13.32 update.[/p][p]Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.[/p]

[p]Hail, Cosmonauts![/p][p]See below for details on update v0.13.31.[/p][p][/p][h3]🔧Bug Fixes[/h3]

12. [p]Fixed error messages regarding reuse of special effects in certain circumstances.[/p]

[h3]⚙️Interface and System Improvements[/h3]

1. [p]Changed the location of the Resolution option in the Settings menu to prevent it from being covered up by tooltip text.[/p]
