    Believe me when I say that it wasn't easy. Deliberated (read: agonized) over it for well over a week.

    Okay, okay, okay…surely cards didn’t work like this pre-update, right? WHY CAN I ACTUALLY SEE AND READ CARDS WHEN SELECTING THEM?! :D

    EDIT: Okay, might have been imagining that. I don’t know, something about the game makes it inherently easier to play though.

    So how is the update ? Other then cloud syncing is it what people were looking for ? Does it play that much better ?
    I’m going to have to fire up a game or two before updating. So I can compare lol

    I was really hoping for readability improvements size-wise, this is pretty disappointing. First pic is pre-update, second pic is post.

    The controls are a little better, but still janky IMO.

    I don’t regret buying the game & have already gotten 40+ hours out of it, but some simple zoom options + better card controls really shouldn’t be a huge ask here, especially a literal year later.

    Was thinking the same, but you already know this... I'll be lurking for a bit since I won't be able to take a deep dive till the weekend.

    um for me there is a huge change about readability, have you check the param in setting ? bigger text size ?

    For the control of card, i notice nothing different.

    You mean “Bigger text” under Miscellaneous? This setting already existed before the update.

    There’s no increase in the card size when looking through your hand. I’ve got screen before and after below.

    There’s also now different jank in card selection and targeting your own character with buffs.

    basically they made all the unnecessary parts of the UI bigger, like the intro screen. Ridiculous.

    but eh, what was I expecting given past performance. :(

    So I figured you would now be able to see the whole card and be able read it while in hand. Doesn’t look like much has changed. In fact I like the top pic more. So if that’s the original I like it better lol. I’ll wait a bit longer to update. I’m in no rush. May wait for the next one even. I’ll see. Hoping some get something from it after waiting so long.

    Sorry, I should have clarified by the way it was posted. The top pic is the after. The way to confirm it is the post update is that the top information bar is larger. It’s also subtle, but it’s larger. That bar is basically the improvement, as is the larger health bar below the characters, and then that’s about it.

    Janky controls is still a-plenty. It’s now just a different jank.

    Is Dicey Dungeon coming anytime soon? I checked google and didn't find much. People have been asking about it since two years ago o_O

    Ya no info on it for a long time. I’m guessing covid slowed or even killed production of it. I check for new info all the time. Nothing new in ages.
