Fellow Adventurers,
Thank you for sticking with me and sharing your feedback, bug reports, and even your frustrations. I hear you, and I’ve been working to make your experience smoother and more rewarding. Here’s what’s new in this update:
💰 Loot and Spell Improvements
- Reapers now drop better loot, making them even more worth the fight!
- Added new stat upgrades for the Pentagram spell. More serious upgrades for the spells coming soon.
🎮 Controller Updates and Fixes
- Fully reworked the UI system for much more reliable controller gameplay.
- Big thanks to vashTstampede for the log files - Improved controller UI detection:
- You can now leave a controller plugged in while playing with keyboard and mouse. This one’s for you, Moczan! - Secondary mappings have been added to the controls list in the pause menu for easier reference.
- More accurate controller detection overall for a smoother experience.
🛠️ Bug Fixes and Adjustments
- Fixed a bug where you could dash and shop at the same time (thanks cnote291 for pointing this out!).
- Potion counter achievements are now tracked correctly—no more missed milestones!
- Interact in the Hall of Relics has been remapped to E on the keyboard for consistency.
- Adjusted the perk upgrade selection algorithm for better variety and balance.
Thanks again for your patience while I work to make the game even better. I couldn’t do it without your help, and I really appreciate all the support you’ve shown—even when things haven’t been perfect right out of the gate. I'm committed to making Black Dragon Mage a great game during and after Early Access!
More updates are in the works, and I’m excited to share them with you soon! Until then, happy adventuring. 🐉✨
