A Big Quality of Life Update

From widescreen support to exorcising some phantom staircases, this update has a lot of changes to improve the Daily Demo for you!

First, we wanted to take time to say a big thank you to everyone who is playing the demo! It’s great to see you climbing the leaderboard every day and (hopefully) improving!

While we’re still continuing to work on the main game, we didn’t want to abandon all of our daily demo users, which is why we’ve put together this big quality-of-life update in response to the feedback we’ve been receiving!

If you have any further feedback, please make sure you drop it in a discussion thread or leave it in the feedback section of our Discord: https://discord.gg/NKBrHhRxwz.

Our Discord is also a great place to get help with the dailies if you’re a new player. We discuss the best preparations to take along with you, which gods to select, and more!

Key Updates

Widescreen Support
Our daily dungeons now have widescreen support! No more awful squares to punish us for having cooler tech. Most main dungeons are now 25x16 when played at 16:9 aspect ratios. However, the game will analyze your computer specs and may end up not being square if the generator or resolution can’t guarantee a comparable experience.

Now you’ll be able to see our game art in all its beauty and you can also zoom in and out without any issues.

Camera Recentering
Sometimes the camera could be a little jerky when it shouldn’t be. We’ve smoothed out those transitions, as well as scrolling interactions, to support the non-square dungeons.

No more Bad Rewinds!
On occasions, a rewind is known to fail for one reason or another. We’ve managed to fix a number of these rewind desyncs for this update! This also includes an issue where rewind wouldn’t be available if you selected an enemy and were killed by a different target.

Exorcising Phantom Staircases
There’s nothing worse than encountering what you think is a sub-dungeon, only for it to not admit you access. We’ve bricked them all up in this latest patch, so phantom stairs will no longer appear.

Shiny new leaderboard
The Daily Leaderboard has undergone a spring clean! The layout is cleaner and there are now tooltips for everything.

We’ll also be releasing some news soon about the full version of Desktop Dungeons: Rewind! Make sure you're following the main page for the game if you don’t want to miss out on any launch news!
