[/p][h2]💰Economy & Balancing Upgrades[/h2][p]We’ve taken a deep dive into the numbers to ensure the game loop feels rewarding without being completely broken.[/p]
- [p]Cherry Machine Nerf: Upgrade effects for Cherry Machines were significantly unbalanced (and admittedly broken). We’ve adjusted their scaling to bring them back in line with other machines.[/p]
- [p]Bell Machine Rebalance: Increased both the purchase price and the payouts. The upgrade and item pricing curves have been redesigned for smoother progression.[/p]
- [p]Diamond Machine Rebalance: Increased the purchase price and payouts. We've overhauled the pricing curve to make these feel like the high-tier powerhouses they are.[/p]
- [p] Reboot System Adjustments: Increased Reboot prices to match the new economy. Additionally, the Reboot UI button has received a visual enhancement to become more attention grabbing![/p]
🛠️ Quality of Life & UI Improvements[/h2][p]Small changes, big impact:[/p]
- [p]Localization & Fonts: We are now properly handling localized languages with a dedicated font. No more "Frankenstein" text or missing characters![/p]
- [p]Auto-Language Detection: The game will now automatically set your language based on your Steam Client settings if no preferred language has been chosen.[/p]
- [p]Video Settings Fixes: Fixed an issue where the cursor would lock while in windowed mode.[/p]
- [p]The resolution indicator now accurately displays the active resolution.[/p]
- [p]How does the new economy feel?[/p]
- [p]Is it too challenging, or are there still ways to exploit the system?[/p]
