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. 🐉✨
