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!
We’ve taken a deep dive into the numbers to ensure the game loop feels rewarding without being completely broken.
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.
Bell Machine Rebalance: Increased both the purchase price and the payouts. The upgrade and item pricing curves have been redesigned for smoother progression.
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.
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!
Small changes, big impact:
Localization & Fonts: We are now properly handling localized languages with a dedicated font. No more "Frankenstein" text or missing characters!
Auto-Language Detection: The game will now automatically set your language based on your Steam Client settings if no preferred language has been chosen.
Video Settings Fixes: Fixed an issue where the cursor would lock while in windowed mode.
The resolution indicator now accurately displays the active resolution.
This update is a major milestone for us, and your feedback is the only way we can get the balance perfect.
How does the new economy feel?
Is it too challenging, or are there still ways to exploit the system?
