Demo Update: Smelting, Controllers and Campaign Balance

MODice · published

The latest Steam Demo update is now live. Here is what has changed:

Smelting

  • Gem selection now hides materials that are ineligible for the chosen recipe.
  • Improved gem icon clarity and tuned the size, spacing and glow of small result batches.
  • Added a gathering and warm-light reveal with rings, sparks and matching heat, formation and success sounds.
  • Every gem in a batch is shown, with up to 18 results per page and additional pages for larger batches.
  • Reveals can be skipped and respect reduced-motion settings.

Controller and interface

  • Fixed stale destination input after stage changes and improved controller destination selection and access to dice configuration.
  • Boss skills can be inspected with a controller while arranging dice. Configuration navigation skips read-only face previews.
  • Improved shoulder-button glyphs and unified native scrollbars with a slim gold appearance.
  • Fixed leftover gem rotation on empty magic runes and interrupted score popup fades.

Campaign balance

  • R4 regular-stage score targets reduced by 20%; R4 Boss targets reduced by 30%.
  • R5 regular-stage score targets reduced by 35%; R5 Boss targets reduced by 40%.

The Demo covers maps 1–2, normal difficulty and R1–R5. Auto mode and endless mode remain full-game features.
