Hey everyone, it's been a while, but Deep Sea Valentine finally received another update!
First things first: Yes, sorry, this DOES NOT work with your existing save files. But the good news is that you can switch to the "compatibility" branch under Properties -> Betas, in case you have any unfinished business. Let me know if you run into trouble!
So why did I do this? I'm glad you asked, because now it's time for good news only! All controls have been significantly improved:
You can now walk around using the mouse
Keyboard controls got mildly improved
Gamepad controls got a major overhaul & there's glyphs now!
All of the above are also being assisted by a much more helpful and intuitive "?" (controls) screen:
Full patch notes
added mouse movement controls
improved controller and keyboard controls
added controller glyphs throughout the game
added a setting to manually change controller glyphs
outfit changes also change the pixel art now
added a pixel preview to the settings screen
the first dialogue option is no longer selected by default
added outlines to hovered text buttons
the name popup only occurs when the speaking character changes
fixed the side of the speaking character's name when not playing in English
it's now possible to advance the text by scrolling down
made the game less loud
made walls more obvious
added nicer transitions between screens
made the text fade in with an elegant dissolve
added speech pauses
and probably more!
I really appreciate the helpful feedback on this humble first game of mine, and I hope these improvements make Deep Sea Valentine an even more enjoyable and relaxing experience for all. On that note, an extra special shoutout goes out to funkydinosaurs for the detailed and constructive community post! I would not have braved this controller upgrade without them, and I just happened to pile on a couple of other QoL features while I was at it.
//bug fixes - Mimic Mouldmaker class: Opening the Choose Mimic Trait menu would cause a crash. - Salvage Stripper class: He could use his salvage ability on a Voids Vigil weapon. - Compendium - Leaderboards: There wasn't an option to view Campaign Reconnexus leaderboards.
Hey Summoners, it's time! As we draw closer to completion, we want to explore The Void - one of our most exciting features.
About the Demo
The demo starts in Greenhaven, giving you a perfect taste of what's coming in the full game. We've made countless improvements, including:
Completely reworked AI systems
Rebuilt deck building from the ground up
Fully implemented shop systems
Enhanced dialog systems
And so much more that you'll need to experience for yourself We'd love to hear your feedback! If you encounter any issues, please report them through the in-game system, Discord, or Steam community forums.
What is The Void?
The Void is a mysterious place between worlds that you'll discover more about as you play. But let's talk about what makes it special from a gameplay perspective.
We created The Void to solve a common card game problem - what to do with all those extra cards from boosters that usually just collect dust. In The Void, these cards become your arsenal for a completely different kind of battle.
Here's how it works:
Build separate decks specifically for The Void
Summon creatures from these cards to fight alongside you
Cards will be destroyed after several uses - that's the price of bringing them to life
Your main dueling deck remains untouched - this only affects cards in your Void deck
Cards can't be in both a normal deck and a Void deck simultaneously
Don't worry about running out of cards - you'll get plenty from booster packs to support both play modes. Just be strategic with your rarest cards!
Gameplay in The Void
Think roguelike meets monster battles. Each time you enter The Void, you'll encounter:
Randomly generated maps
Various room types including healing chambers and treasure rooms
Traditional monster battle system where cards are used for summoning and enhancing
Direct control over attacks, offering a refreshing break from standard card battles
The Void puts incredible strain on your cards - they're creating echoes of real monsters, after all. But here's the exciting part: with the Sphera Abyss, you can capture actual monsters and add them to your collection! The Void truly is a place of mysteries.
Development Update
We're in the final stretch! Some of you have asked why we haven't moved faster, but here's the truth: we're working every day to make this game exceptional. Right now we're:
Polishing every feature
Squashing bugs
Fine-tuning dialog
Running thorough testing passes
Yes, it takes time, but we believe you'll appreciate the attention to detail. The demo should give you an excellent taste of what's coming. If you're a card game fan like us, you're in for something special!
This patch fixes a couple of issues reported recently by the community.
- fixed a breaker box on Luxus Incorporated not influencing one of the lights inside the building it's meant to be used for - fixed a crash that could occur with the "Enemies always alert" difficulty mutator
