Hi all. I created a small patch to address some small issues that were affecting users. I hope this makes the demo more fun to play. Have a great weekend and I hope you find lots of great new games during NextFest
Changes
Faster start
The opening pager chat is shorter now, so you can get to your first traveller sooner while still getting the basics you need.
Clearer mail
Mail text is larger and easier to read.
Better card clarity
It's now possible to focus on cards in reward mail and keepsakes menu.
Card slots now have simple icons so it’s easier to see what belongs where.
Better Mouse Interaction
Right‑click now closes certain dialogs and card previews, making navigation feel more natural. Thanks for the suggestion aneoid ❤️
