[p]Hello Diapers Club! As you might be aware, Next Fest has officially wrapped up. With that, one of the weirdest and most amazing chapters of our development journey has come to an end. We honestly had no idea we’d see this volume of players or receive such incredible feedback over the past week.[/p][p]We couldn't be more thankful to everyone who played the demo, shared their thoughts, or simply wishlisted the game. You’ve made our week![/p][p]To give you some perspective, we started Steam Next Fest with just 85 Wishlists. Our most optimistic goal was to hit 500... but thanks to you, we are now 1,600 strong!!!!
[/p][h2]🏃💨💩Road Ahead![/h2][p]Our primary mission now is to cross the finish line and deliver the ultimate slot experience! Behind the scenes, our veteran gamblers are working overtime to ensure the full release is as polished, stable, and chaotic as possible.[/p][p]As a reminder, the full version is packing a massive amount of content. Here is a sneak peek at what’s coming:[/p]

• [p]🎰 More Machines!: The demo currently features 3 machines. In the full version, we’re adding a variety of new ways for our seniors to blow through their life savings![/p]
• [p]📈 A Deep, Calibrated Economy: To keep the demo snappy, we cranked up the speed. The full version will feature a finely tuned progression system designed for a robust 5+ hour gameplay experience![/p]
• [p]⚙️ Custom Economy Options: Some of you love the grind; others wanted a faster start. To accommodate every playstyle, we’re adding "Economy Progression" options that allow you to increase or decrease payouts and costs to your liking![/p]
• [p]🧠 Massive Skill Tree: We’re jumping from 9 permanent upgrades in the demo to over 45 in the full version! That’s 5x the content, you’re going to need a lot of R.A.M. for this![/p]
• [p]🎨 More Skins & Casino Floors: Did you know you can already change the casino floor in the settings? The full game will feature even more floor designs and a wider variety of gamblers to collect![/p]
• [p]💩 Expanded Poop Mechanics: Currently, poop only fuels one active skill. In the full version, it plays a vital role in powering new active skills and can even be traded for exclusive cosmetics. Remember: You’ve gotta spend some poop to get some goop![/p]
• [p]🕵️ A Secret Story?: The casino floor might look simple at first glance... but there’s a dark secret lurking behind the slot reels. Do you dare to uncover the truth?[/p]

[p]And much more! Keep those peepers open, we’re just getting started.[/p][p][/p][h2] 🛠️ State of the Demo![/h2][p]We’re currently busy implementing your feedback and rolling out a wave of quality-of-life updates. All of these improvements will be added to the demo shortly.

[p]Hello everyone! We’re back with a major balance patch today to address the most consistent feedback we’ve received: the "humble" yet game-breaking strength of the Cherry Machines. A huge thank you to everyone for testing the limits of our economy during Next Fest!
[/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]

[h2]
🛠️ 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][/p][h2]📝 We Need Your Thoughts![/h2][p]This update is a major milestone for us, and your feedback is the only way we can get the balance perfect.[/p]

• [p]How does the new economy feel?[/p]
• [p]Is it too challenging, or are there still ways to exploit the system?[/p]

[p]Hello everyone! We’re back with a quick hotfix to address some quality of life changes and smooth out the gameplay experience. A huge thanks to everyone again for testing the limits of our machines during Next Fest!
[/p][h3] 🖱️ The "Click" Experience[/h3]

• [p]Mouse Clicks: We heard the cries (and the clicking) of players developing carpal tunnel syndrome trying to harvest every single chip on the floor. Well... NO MORE! We’ve fundamentally overhauled the "Click" experience. You can now multi-collect chips with a single click. No more individual tapping. Just smooth, efficient wealth collection. Your early-game hustle just got a whole lot cleaner (even if the floor didn't).[/p]

[h3]🎰 Visual Updates[/h3]

• [p]Chip Colors: Chip particles now match the color of the chips collected. It’s now much easier to see exactly how much you’re raking in at a glance![/p]
• [p]Sorting Order: Fixed a sorting bug where gamblers would "hide" behind machines to nap. We’ve fixed the layers and put them back in front. WORK, WORK, WORK![/p]
• [p]Reboot Panel Light Fix: Jackpot lights will no longer bleed through the Reboot Panel. Your prestige deserves a clear, light-leak-free view.[/p]
• [p]Font Fix: Fixed an issue where fonts appeared blurry for some users. Everything is now pixel-perfect and easy on the eyes.
  [/p][p] [/p]

[h3]🖱️ Bug Fixes[/h3]

• [p]Late Game Optimizations: Late-game wealth was literally setting scenes on fire! We’ve optimized physics calculations so even the oldest "potatoes" can handle the massive chip piles of a high-tier casino.[/p]
• [p]Gambler Search Paths: Some gamblers developed pathfinding "dementia" in the last update, wandering aimlessly in circles. Our top neurologists have intervened, they are now healed and back on the right path![/p][p]
  And of course... please Wishlist our game! The dementia medication is expensive, and these hospital bills aren't going to pay themselves. Help a senior out!
  
  [/p]

[p]Hello everyone! We’re back with a quick hotfix to address some community-reported bugs and smooth out the management experience. A huge thanks to everyone testing the limits of our machines during Next Fest![/p][h3]

🐳 The "Whale" Evolution[/h3]

• [p]Chip Collector for Whales: Fixed an issue where the biggest spenders weren't properly utilizing technology. Whale gamblers now also gain the "Chip Collector" upgrade! They will now automatically collect chips, making your high-stakes floors much more efficient.[/p]

[h3]🎰 Machine & Remodelling Fixes[/h3]

• [p]Stacking Upgrades: Fixed a bug in the Remodelling Upgrade where each new level would delete the previous level's effect. Now, your upgrades will correctly stack and scale as intended.[/p]
• [p]The Ghost in the Machine: Fixed a visual bug where the Bell Machine ghost would remain active/visible after you moved or remodelled the machine's location. The spirits have been exorcised![/p]

[h3]🖱️ UX & Quality of Life Improvements[/h3]

• [p]Sound Settings: Due to some technical issues related to addressables some sfx volumes that are played on machines and gamblers were not effected by the sound settings, the issue is fixed.[/p]

• [p]Information at your fingertips: The Info Tab has been improved, you can now close it directly using the upper button when it's open. No more trapped UI![/p]
• [p]Better Categorization: The "Hover to Spin" upgrade has been moved under the Cursor Upgrades group. It’s now much more intuitive to find and manage your clicking power.
