CHAMPIONS!

In preparation for THE BLACK LABYRINTH and the upcoming console ports of AMID EVIL, we've released a long overdue controller overhaul and reworked all the menu code in the game!
What does that mean? Well, all the game menus are now 100% controller compatible (no more mouse cursor) and we've also finally been STEAM DECK VERIFIED.
And YES that's a brand new WEAPON WHEEL you see.
It works with both controller (Hold RB) and KB + M (Hold Q) - try it out!

There's also a new auto-switch weapon pickup option
A new and improved key bindings menu
And we finally overhauled (basically re-wrote) the CODEX! (ENJOY THE LORE)

Volumetric fog has been optimized, so you should get quite a few extra frames in maps that use it.
Keys have VFX to help them stand out a bit more now.
And the AEWARLOCK cheat now adds mana.

[[ Plus also lots of other behind-the-scenes stuff in preparation for The Black Labyrinth launch ]]
Speaking of THE BLACK LABYRINTH...
We hope you saw our latest gameplay video:
Watch on YouTube
And of course have it on your Wishlist:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1852860/AMID_EVIL__The_Black_Labyrinth/
We'll have it out for you early next year, as well as AMID EVIL VR.
Which we can now confirm will launch as a standalone app on Steam that will support nearly every VR headset on the market.
But more on all that... SOON™
Go try AMID EVIL on your Steam Deck... NOW.

CHAMPIONS!
BEHOLD... MORE GRAPHICAL STUFF!
We've upgraded AMID EVIL to Unreal Engine 4.27 which brings more general optimizations, Ray Tracing optimizations, more general stability as well as the ability for us to add AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and the latest version of Nvidia DLSS. Both of which make playing AMID EVIL with ray tracing at high framerates possible for champions of all PC build sizes!
Speaking of DLSS and FSR... we've also added sharpening! Forget about that blur...
This will make everything SHARP.
How sharp?! SUPER SHARP.
So try the improved NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR... TODAY.
WE EVEN ADDED THESE OPTIONS TO THE DEMO.
(We Love You and We Hate Money)
Oh, and now that this stuff is out of the way we can continue our work on the full AMID EVIL PREQUEL EXPANSION...

Other fixes:

You can now run the game in exclusive Fullscreen in DX12.
Final boss level visual fix when save/loading.
Fixed up inconsistent ray traced enemy shadows.
Fixed lifts being offset occasionally .
Volumetric fog more optimized, should give a decent frame boost.
Celestial claw lighting fixed, planets+suns now give off lights/shadows.
Removed scary clock.
Fixed issue with portal location UI in gateway when loading a game.
Fixed many minor level issues.
Other minor misc fixes.
