Update 1.0FF: New Achievements, Rebalancing & Performance!
Hi Cube Founders!
We are excited to release update 1.0FF. I've been working hard "under the hood" to improve Steam integration, refine the balance between active and idle play, and fix critical bugs to ensure a smoother experience.
Here are the full details of the update:
Steam Integration & Achievements
I have massively expanded the achievement system to reward your long-term dedication.
- New Milestones: Added achievements for owning 25, 50, 75, and 100 units for all 31 generator types.
- Easter Egg: Added a secret achievement (keep your eyes peeled on social media!).
- Steam Overlay: Notifications now appear correctly over the game.
- VDF Localization: Fixed achievement translations in 10 languages, with specific fixes for corrupted Russian and Korean characters.
Gameplay Rebalancing
I analyzed the data and shifted the focus from "furious clicking" to a deeper management strategy.
- Generator Buffs: Base production increased (+30% global, +15% early game) and purchase costs reduced. Your factories matter more now!
- Click & Combo: Reduced critical hit multipliers and the combo system to prevent manual clicking from overshadowing idle progression.
- New Prestige System: Prestige now scales compoundly based on total cubes produced. Added 12 new upgrades and reduced costs for smoother progression.
Performance & Technical Fixes
For players on laptops and portable devices, I optimized resource usage:
- Memory Leak Fix: Solved a critical issue in the combo decay timer that was consuming memory over time.
- DOM Management: Fixed a bug where generators and upgrades remained in the visual cache after prestige, improving interface responsiveness.
- Stability: Fixed crashes at startup (splash screen) and module import issues on Windows.
UI & Visuals
- Critical Feedback: Added a clear visual effect for critical hits.
- Settings: Redesigned options window, now cleaner and more modern.
- Supporter Pack DLC: Improved premium theme shaders to reduce glare and improve cube rendering.
Thanks for your continued support! If you find any issues or want to discuss the new balance, let me know in the Community forums.
