This update is for people who have "sticky cursor" problems using gamepads / controllers:
Now game has a deadzone adjustment (under main menu -> controller icon)
You can adjust this value until your cursor moves only when you move the joystick. Game will also remember this value next time you open the game.
Have fun.

After a lot of work, new Madville+ update is here!
A much requested feature, hopefully this would also make it compatible with Steam Deck.
Your controller should work automatically as you connect, but if some buttons / joystick directions are not working correctly, you can change & try different controller profiles by clicking to the controller icon at the main menu of the game (more info on that related screen)
Also, you can check how controller buttons work in the game, by clicking the cog icon at top-left corner at inventory screen.
There are new 48 steam achievements! If you unlocked these before, game should recognize it at the beginning and give you the related steam achievement automatically.
On the top-right corner of inventory screen, you now have a toggle, giving you an option to activate auto aim & shoot! This way, you can play the game in a different way, focusing more on upgrading your build and less on your reflexes.
In case you don't want to play the game full-screen, you can now toggle windowed mode (in a fixed size) from the main menu (bottom-right corner)
... and lets talk about the new stuff for existing players:
I was planning these for a long time, and it took a while to implement them, because they work very very different from previous professions/classes in the game. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Say hello to Gambler & Indie Game Developer!
Gambler can counterfeit money at will and he can drop dice at 2nd & 3rd wave. He also has cheaper re-rolls, but he needs to buy a completely new gun every level!
Indie Game developer is a poor soul. As an avid multi-tasker, he drops his gun every wave & gets a new gun (of your choosing), but he needs to stay alive with his boxing glove in-between guns. However, he can crunch: He can sacrifice his health & get a huge level boost to his guns. Also, add-ons effects are highly increased.

I think we covered all grounds, feel free to let me know if you encounter any problems!
Happy gaming!

Hello everyone,
Here is the first major update for Madville+, bringing a lot of new stuff. Here they are:
With this update, you can now access a modifier menu. This menu allows you to customize the game as you like.
You hate the boxing glove? Now you can remove it completely. Or you want to make it more central to the gameplay? It is possible too. Boss behaviours, which cause you to drop your more powerful weapon, adapt to this, too.
You can choose to play shorter game sessions (which allows a quicker upgrade loop).
You can now choose a harder difficulty, if you want to show off.
... And my favorite: Now you can select which add-on types will be available for a certain session. This way, you can have a totally different feeling when experimenting with synergies and aim for more purposeful builds by decreasing the randomness factor. This mode would also let you discover more about some upgrades which doesn't reveal their true powers in small quantites.
All these modifiers have some limiations to avoid ruining the fun completely. For example, you can't select fewer than 4 add-on types to include in a session. Also, your starting health and money get affected according to your modifiers. You can experiment with all of these in the game and choose whatever suits your gameplay style best.
As a true survivalist, you will start with your scrappy guns, but they can transform into really crazy ones with upgrades. You also have a bandage to heal you when needed, and if all fails, your survival instinct will provide an extra kick when you're in critical health.

Play to find out their powers!
A lot of balancing corrections. A lot of gun base damages, reloading times etc. are updated, and related gun transformations are edited accordingly.
Some add-ons (especially the ones that affect bullet size) are changed. You can still cheese them but it's a bit harder and with more penalty in other aspects.
Edited some weapon sounds, so that they're not annoying as they used to be.
Probably more like these will come, with the incoming feedback.
FIXED:
- The audio for weapons will randomly cut out
- After using the Drag & Drop dice effect, the cursor remains as a pink hand until the end of the level
- The visual radius of the some weapons shrink sometimes, and then enlarge again.
- Some unrelated effects (like PHD thesis) seems to take on some of gun modifiers.
- You can stand inside of the PHD thesis barricade that the scientist has
- Pickups can be dropped out of reach.
- fast shooting collision fix
- Inconsistent Chains, especially with fast firing weapons.
- Worse gun transformations (NOTE: this might still be possible in some cases, since some add-ons might be more compatible with non-transformed gun, but I will try to adjust as I test more)
- The Evolver upgrade sometimes just makes your guns worse
- Some weird boss behaviours.
.. and many many more that I haven't noted down ...
Special thanks to HoHoJoe, for giving me juicy details that really helped nailing down some of these bugs!
I know this update doesn't have some features that some of you really want to see. I would like to adress them:
- Controller Support: I want to add it, but I can't make promises, because it is a big undertaking, mostly because of mouse based menus. There is just a lot of functionality (like drag&drop add-on system) where mapping keyboard inputs are not enough and a complete re-programming is needed, and this must be done without breaking existing functionality.
- Resolution support: I'm very sad that I couldn't foresee the player reaction around this. The game is built upon an old game, it's old technology doesn't let me provide better resolutions without getting a performance hit. I don't have a high-end monitor so I couldn't foresee that it would bother some players this much. I can only hope that you can forgive it if you like it enough, especially considering game's price point. But if it is really tiresome for your eyes, I can't provide a solution other than a refund. I'm sorry for this.
- Endless Mode: No promises, but this will probably come with next updates. It just couldn't make it in this update.
- Reloading bar & sounds: I'm experimenting with this. Couldn't include in this update, because there are many guns with different characteristics and using reloading sounds can be very tiresome in some cases. Trying to find a way to accommodate most (if not all) scenarios. This also applies to reloading bar: I can provide an option that will show a small reloading bar on the character head, but I'm not sure if it fits every scenario.
Thanks for reading and playing my little weird game!

As the feedbacks are coming in, I thought it would be good to write about what the next big update will aim to cover:
- New game modes (or modifiers) to offer sessions that appeal different tastes. I'm not sure what's the best way to implement this: A simple menu where you can choose different modes (that unlock as you go by?) or just a single modifiers menu where you can adjust multiple variables that can affect the game: like overall difficulty, number of waves(for shorter sessions), enabled or disabled boxing glove, which group of add-ons will be available, etc. Obviously second options is much more customizable, but perhaps a bit overwhelming for a newcomer. Perhaps modifiers that unlock as permament upgrades? I'm still considering what would be a good way to introduce this concept.
The most controversial thing seems to be the boxing glove (and how it reappears in boss fights etc), which I love exactly because of its infuriating nature :D It was always in the DNA of the game, from the very beginning. But I understand where people are coming from. Completely getting rid of it (or making the default mode without it) would render some story bits & game dynamics meaningless, thus a modifier menu seems a like good compromise to me.
- Balancing updates & changes on existing guns/add-ons. As some of you pointed out, there are rough edges around some combinations. I'm thankful to everyone who reached and shared their experiences.
- A pre-planned new profession & its related guns. There are 3 pre-planned but unreleased characters, when they're done, I might continue introducing new ones, but for now I'm going to make sure existing ones are getting even more enjoyable from the lens of replayability.
- Possibly, an endless mode after game ends at level 20. I'm trying to make sure this one is fun before releasing it. There are some challenges I have to solve.
- As expected, bug fixes and other small adjustments.
As usual, let me know your thoughts! Thanks for reading!
