Hello everyone!
Tomorrow is the big day: Steam Next Fest begins. Over the past couple of weeks, a few brave content creators have been testing an early version of the demo, and their feedback has been invaluable in polishing the experience.
I want to give a special shoutout to ExplodinBeef. During his run, a card mysteriously vanished from the table, preventing him from finishing the game. At first, I honestly thought it was the Joker bending the rules to force a surrender... but it turned out to be a real bug involving the undo button and the stock-to-deck pass!
I also want to send a huge thank you to AllyReggie. While she didn't encounter any game-breaking bugs, watching her playthrough helped me spot and fix several dialogue translation errors that had slipped through the cracks.
"Oh, how delightfully naive. You truly believe a few lines of code will save them? ExplodinBeef was so wonderfully close to giving up... it is a pity you intervened. But please, do continue 'fixing' your little game. It only makes your inevitable surrender so much more entertaining. I will be right here, waiting for you to leave me in peace."
Patch Notes v0.091:
Prevented invalid undo after stock-to-deck pass (Klondike rule compliance).
Fixed dialogue translation errors and gated dialogue lines by game state (e.g., Lowerveil/shop discovery checks).
Corrected win/game-over Joker angry state so he no longer gets stuck silently.
Fixed intermittent missing hint dialogue from the Joker.
Added Joker commentary for F1.
Updated Jack of Spades guidance (clock/coin actions, Sigils, deck icon instructions).
Improved Veil Sigil tooltip descriptions.
Added clearer Sigil-selection prompts and empty-selection feedback.
Verified tutorial achievement flow and first-awakened achievement behavior.
Moved memories music to effects channel and localized “Exit” in Spanish.
The demo is polished and ready for tomorrow. If the idea of Inscryption meets Balatro with a deep narrative appeals to you, remember to wishlist Alonitaire and prepare to awaken the cards. See you at Steam Next Fest!
