Desktop Heroes News

[p]This update brings significant stability, balance, and performance improvements to Desktop Heroes. It also introduces key quality-of-life changes and sets the stage for larger content and balancing updates coming soon.[/p][p][/p][h3]Save System Improvements[/h3][p]We’ve been investigating reports of save issues but haven’t been able to fully reproduce them yet. As an interim solution, we’ve added an error notification that appears when a save fails. This allows players to notice failed saves early and take corrective action (such as restarting the game).
We’re also gathering more feedback to identify when and how the issue occurs. Expect further improvements to error handling in upcoming updates.[/p][h3]Idle and Auto Skill Enhancements[/h3]

• [p]Idle gameplay has been optimized for smoother and more efficient progression. [/p]
• [p]Skill bar slots increased to 8, giving you more flexibility in combat. [/p]
• [p]Auto Skill Mode: You can now toggle auto usage by holding down a skill icon. [/p]
• [p]Added clearer Auto Skill indicators for better visibility and control.
  
  [/p]

[h3]Experience and Gear Balancing[/h3]

• [p]Adjusted gear EXP income to better scale with higher-level equipment.
  At later stages, gear that provides higher EXP income will become more common, improving long-term progression.

[p]Thank you for your continued support and feedback. Each update brings us closer to a smoother, more balanced Desktop Heroes experience. Keep sharing your thoughts to help us improve even further.[/p]

[p][/p][p]We would like to thank you for your interest in and support for Desktop Heroes. We read and evaluate every comment and review, and we are continuously working to improve the gaming experience for all of you. Although we are a small team, we do our best to provide updates and fix issues as quickly as possible. While we are working on major updates, we are also trying to implement minor changes as soon as possible. Daily updates don't mean we only tweak minor parts.[/p][p]
[/p][p]We’ve received some feedback about the game not being entirely idle. This is correct: Desktop Heroes is not designed to be a game that you can set up and leave running for hours without interacting with it. Unlike other 'bottom-of-the-screen' games, we aimed to create a hybrid experience combining both idle and focused gameplay. Once your character is somewhat upgraded, you can leave them idle in safe maps, allowing you to continue earning gold, collecting loot, and strengthening your character. At the same time, you can return to the game at your own pace, equip better items and explore deeper areas of the maps.[/p][p]
[/p][p]This is not a game where you set up a production system and then collect resources after 24 hours. As an ARPG-style game, the pace of your progress is in your hands. While Desktop Heroes may not be ideal for those who want a fully passive experience, it can be more satisfying for players who enjoy actively engaging with the game. We are working on solutions to make idle play more accessible, but the game will never be fully passive. Our goal is to create a hybrid gameplay style with options for players who prefer a more passive approach.[/p][p]
[/p][p]We will continue to develop and improve Desktop Heroes, and your support and feedback are invaluable. Please keep sharing your thoughts and suggestions with us. We read all of them, evaluate them carefully and implement the ones that fit the game.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Thank you for playing Desktop Heroes! Have fun![/p][p]
