UI Overhaul, Balancing, More Gameplay Depth, And Public high Scores

Yolo Mode · published 24 Jul 2026, 23:19 UTC · build 24382936

Daily Challenge — one shared market for everyone, one attempt, deterministic seed, Friday decides. Versioned Steam leaderboards with real ranks past the top 10.
Clout + Prestige — a cross-mode meta-currency earned in every mode, spent on optional permanent boosts or cashed out; prestige tier on top.
Shareable result cards — the game exports a real PNG of your run (ticker, %, verdict) for posting.
Terminal-noir visual identity — studio boot splash, one continuous boot cinematic, and a main menu rebuilt as a physical trade ticket: perforations, serial number, barcode, week timeline, ORDER ACCEPTED stamp, ambient market pulse.
Steam Deck mode — auto-detected, with UI scale bump, heavier focus rings, and the overlay keyboard wired into the name prompt.

Leverage rebuilt — posted margin is now premium + financing, losses liquidate at the posted floor, financing is itemized in the weekly summary, and the buy confirmation shows a real leveraged potential instead of a 1:1 figure.
Earnings honesty — reports fire even if you hold nothing; a neutral "IN LINE" state replaces false BEAT/MISS on small prints; results no longer repeat across replays; unprofitable meme names print the wildest moves; the after-hours move is now signed (−5.2%, not a bare 5.2%).
Take-profit / stop-loss are opt-in — no more silent defaults quietly auto-selling your winners.
Midday Double Down actually doubles the whole position, with honest affordability.
Sector-aware analyst whispers, and the tutorial no longer overstates how leverage works.

Deep Value — save/resume, squeeze mechanics, settlement feedback, new narrative content; squeeze rebalanced so informed play ignites ~79% of the time; community size at ignition now amplifies the rally; conviction reachable at human scale; forgiveness pass so one bad week doesn't kill the thesis. Public all-time best-return leaderboard.
Career — overall P/L now includes options, crashes appear in the chart the week they happen, the monthly broker desk opens on monthly contracts, and Career weeks no longer contaminate the YOLO win-streak/perk meta in either direction.
YOLO weekly — Quick Trade improvements, better perk controls, replay actions, guided first-trade flow.
Survival — minimum-bet gate fixed so it can't demand a bet you physically can't place.

Reduce Motion now also covers the settlement cinematic, floating text, and panel shakes.
Controller/keyboard focus properly fenced behind every modal.
Live language switching without restart; expanded coverage across all seven locales.
Honest difficulty naming — the middle tier is "THE FLOOR — House takes its cut" everywhere.
Achievement toasts show their real art in release builds.
