It's been a few weeks since Yawnoc released and there's been a lot of useful feedback to work off of. The result of that is Update 1.1, which focuses primarily of quality of life improvements. There's also some new content thrown in for the fun of it. :) New:

• Shadow minibosses now fade trees similar to the player for visibility
• Bullet silhouettes and centipede heads are now visible through trees

• Chests now appear as orange on the minimap to distinguish them from beacons and spawners
• Miasma now clears immediately after wave completion
• Updated the rolling sound effect
• Reduced volume of the Machine Event transition sound effect
• Solid terrain is now visible immediately upon entering Machine Events
• Potions can no longer be purchased at full health

• Fixed a bug that made the Upgrade Hunter and Completionist achievements inaccessible

Yawnoc runs well on Steam Deck. The only known issue is that the controller input in desktop mode doesn't work. As long as the Steam Deck is in game mode, Yawnoc runs fine. (It's actually how I prefer to play Yawnoc.) MacOS is not currently supported, but the game may function with Wine or by running the source code that's included along with the game. There are a fair number of wishlisters who are using MacOS, so support may be added after release. Thanks for checking out Yawnoc! :D

Demo patch v0.2.14 has been released! It's mostly quality of life stuff based on continued feedback, but the HighLife area has also been reworked. Here's the main list of changes:

• made the guiding arrow bigger for the early tutorials
• added options to pause menu
• reworked HighLife area with CRT-like shaders and new artwork (the effect can also be reduced/disabled in the settings)
• added a screenshake setting
• inverted main menu and try again options in the death menu for consistency
• fixed bugs

Demo patch v0.2.13 has been released to address many of the points of feedback from the demo players. Here's the main list of changes:

• improved movement physics for high speed situations
• made the first 2 waves consistent in pattern choice every run
• added a bunch of arrow guides for enchants, upgrades, and weapons to introduce the mechanics (you may run into these if you continue on an old save file. it'll give you one super cheap purchase of each type once per save file.)
• nerfed the beacon and gave it multiple attack patterns to improve difficulty scaling
• changed the death menu options
• made mid-screen notifications stack so multiple are visible at once
• increased "next wave" interaction range
• changed and restricted the upgrades available in the demo to include simpler upgrades
• changed the wave UI text to indicate that there are 10 waves per season
• added dragon's breath weapon
• added more downwards outline to the text to improve readability
• fixed bugs
