Hello Huntsmen,
The Steam Summer Sale begins today, and Tarnished Blood is joining the celebration!
If you've been waiting for the right moment to venture beneath the Dome, face monstrous abominations, and master our unique time-bending combat system, now is the perfect opportunity to join us.
But... It's not everything! We wanted to take a moment to share what we've been working on behind the scenes.
One of our current priorities is improving Tarnished Blood's Steam Deck experience and working toward official Steam Deck verification. As we wrote earlier, we received information from Valve that the game is playable on Steam Deck, but requires appropriate fixes to receive the green mark.
What have we accomplished so far? Well, over the last few weeks, we've focused on improving readability and overall usability on smaller screens.
Recent improvements include:
Better visibility of buttons and important interface elements
Improved readability of various in-game texts
New options allowing players to increase text size and UI scale
These accessibility improvements won't only benefit Steam Deck users – PC players will also be able to customize the interface to their preferences.
While many of the technical issues are relatively straightforward to solve, adapting a complex RPG interface to a significantly smaller screen requires careful redesign work. Some UI elements need to be rebuilt entirely to maintain the level of quality and clarity we expect from Tarnished Blood. It is a time-consuming process, but one that we believe is worth doing properly.
The images below are from the desktop version:
And these are from the Steam Deck version:
Keep your fingers crossed! I hope this time the game receives full compatibility with Valve's portable hardware!
Our next major focus is controller support. We want playing with a controller to feel just as natural and responsive as playing with a keyboard and mouse. This includes refining navigation, improving gameplay flow, and ensuring that every action feels intuitive regardless of your preferred input method.
We're very happy with the progress we've made so far and excited to continue pushing toward our Steam Deck goals. Every update brings us one step closer to the experience we want to deliver.
If you've been watching from afar, don't forget to take advantage of the Steam Summer Sale and join us under the Dome.
See you on the hunt.
