Version 1.0.1
Improvements
Synced the upgrade-card demo lock list with DraftSystem exclusions.
Improved Workshop UX by showing the legal agreement overlay on failed uploads and hiding Publish in demo mode.
Wave-20 wins are now submitted immediately when the endscreen opens.
Steam leaderboard details now store the canonical build name.
Premium draft card presentation was cleaned up by removing shimmer/idle sheen in favor of a gentle breath pulse.
Premium card breath/timer effects now run in real-time and are no longer affected by game speed.
Balance Changes
Reworked Kinetic Calibration to grant flat damage per equipped modifier per copy instead of static base-damage mutation.
Added Kinetic Calibration milestone scaling (+1 tier every 5 waves, capped at tier 3) and reduced its max copies to 2.
Reduced Compound Interest from +3% to +2% damage per wave per copy and lowered max copies from 3 to 2.
Added a hard cap of 6 milestones to Overclock Doctrine and updated HUD feedback to show MAXED state.
Reduced Escalation Engine max copies from 10 to 4.
Added a permanent bonus cap to Predatory Learning (+100% per copy).
Rebalanced premium rarity tiers: Kinetic Calibration and Deep Slotting moved to Rare; Monomania and Singularity Core moved to Super Rare.
Increased the Speed Run achievement threshold to 17 minutes.
Hotfixes
Fixed leaderboard submission flow and clarified Steam best-score-only semantics.

To hold difficulty level, every endless wave trades HP for speed: HP down 2% a wave, speed up 0.5% a wave, compounding. Bosses ride…

Hot Fix
Slot Theory 1.6.2 Small patch, one fix. Fixed: enemy status rings disappearing mid-run Chill Shot, Marked, burn, Deadzone pin, shield, veil, near-death and corrosion rings could all vanish partway through a run and never come back. What was happening: once the board gets busy (80+ enemies) or the frame rate dips below 50 even once in a wave, we switch the rings to a cheaper shader version to ke…

Hot Fixes
Slot Theory 1.6.1 - Update Notes A small release with one real idea in it: you can now see where your partner is about to aim. Co-op shares a lane and a pool of lives, which makes failure joint but does nothing for success. A player put it better than we had: shared lives makes the failure joint but not the success, and dual spawn only removes the safe seat, neither actually makes you need the…
