I’ve been pretty happy with how v0.19 shook out, and so this update mostly consists of balance tweaks and improvements.
But don’t fear, there is a lot of work happening on the game at the moment, which I’ll talk about at the end of the update notes!

Balance changes:
- moves Card Shark to Lounge hard encounter pool, increases their chip reward to 70 (from 50), and hp to 40 (from 35)
- moves Luck Pusher to be the first Lounge encounter and reduces hp to 40 (was 55)
- moves Teacher to Lounge easy encounter pool (from hard pool)
- reduce Wizard hp to 55 (was 60)
- decreases Drunk hp to 21 (from 25)
- Drunk now only has one Rules Card
- increases Bard hp to 21 (from 20)
- adds another Victim Card and 2x Carduus Acanthoides to Slime's deck
- removes XIII Death from Witch's deck and adds another 3 Green Cards

Card changes:
- lots of changes to the way damage is calculated - this fixes a lot of places where damage multipliers from cards like Expulsion and XVII The Star were inconsistently applied or didn’t stack correctly
- The effect of Trap Card is now:
While in play: on taking damage that damage is also reflected to the opponent.
- The effect of Carduus Acanthoides is now:
On stand: If you are below your bust limit, increase the value of this card by 1. While in play: on taking damage, reflect damage equal to the value of this card.
IMPORTANT: Note that reflected damage from either of these cards will not trigger ‘on taking damage’ effects!
- The effect of Lockpicking Card is now:
On click: Unlock every locked card in play, then discard them without enacting their 'on discard' effects.
- Yellow Card now adds a Red Card into your draw pile even if there were no cards to target with the Yellow Card
- Glitched Card now unlocks on stand so that it doesn't get stuck as a card that locks on play
- Rules Card no longer burns

Visual and Quality of Life improvements:
- mystery reward card is now locked so that it brings attention to the fact that it costs to unlock
- the hover highlight for draw pile now extends to match the size of the draw pile (instead of just highlighting the top card)
- opponent draw pile is now viewable, navigatable (shortcuts - KB: V/4, GP: R2)
- dialogues and previews can be cleared with the view opponent draw pile shortcut
- moves the input glyphs for opponent draw and discard piles to the right (for better symmetry)
- adds a short delay when Victim Card triggers so that you can see each card that is being affected, and see them being impacted before being discarded at the end of a round
- changes ID Card to allow health to go negative (screenshots of massive damage numbers are much more fun now!)
- speeds up the Counterfeiter event
- changes lots of cards to wait for the lock/unlock animation to complete before progressing, fixing a few strange interactions in the process

Bug fixes:
- fixes a bug where the value of Baseball Card was not showing as 10 in deck/draw pile previews when the Baseball Card had never been played before
- fixes a bug where some event host id cards were hoverable
- fixes bugs with the Counterfeiter event due to being able to select the next card while the change card in deck animation was still completing
- fixes bug where keyboard/controller navigation would be inverted on some choices (like removing a card)
- fixes a bug where Gambler would get two copies of every untaken card from the Memory event
- fixes a bug where score card was sometimes not respecting the impact of The Victim Card
- fixes a bug where if a Negative Ace had its value changed away from -1 it wouldn't be set back to -11 on bust
- fixes a bug caused by manually setting the windowed_multiplier in the settings file to an invalid number
- fixes bugs related to clicking very quickly loading up more than one encounter/event
- fixes a bug where the game would stall if Blood Donor Card was played while Time Card was in play
- fixes a bug where cards could be visually drawn from the discard pile instead of the draw pile
- fixes a bug where the damage sword icon for damage dealt during turn was not correctly centred on the damage text
- fixes a bug where the choices on playing Gerald of Riviera were backwards compared to their positions in the opponent's play pile

That’s it for v0.20!
When I started working on this update I intentionally split the development into two branches: one for gameplay which ended up being v0.20, and one for everything else which is v0.21.
The short answer to “what is changing in v0.21?” is YES. The long answer is EVERYTHING. I am so excited about bringing you this update, and can’t wait until people get their hands on it, but it needs more time in the oven! It is going to be so worth it once it is ready though.

Until then, enjoy v0.20 bringing a more refined version of Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. Keep your eye out for what is coming next!
Thank you all for the support,
- Purple Moss Collectors

This update is focused on two main areas:
- keyboard/controller support
- quality of life and clarity improvements

Here are the change notes:


Steam Deck and Linux support:
- Steam Deck and Linux versions of the game are now available on Steam!

Keyboard and controller support:
- adds keyboard and controller support
- the game is now fully playable with a keyboard or controller
- input glyphs will appear on screen during encounters or when hovering cards to show you how to use these feature
- lots of changes have been made to support this, far too many to describe here!
- has been tested successfully with: Xbox controller, Playstation controller, and Steam Deck

Event changes:
- adds new animations for adding a card to your deck, permanently burning a card in your deck, and modifying a card in your deck
- changes the mystery card to require spending chips to reveal it. You can then choose between all four reward cards
- Cards with permanent changes (like Loyalty Card and Birthday Card) are now correctly shown in events like Have a Drink, Trade Offer, and Coin Flip
- makes the Four Card Shop and the Eight Card Shop the only shops you can see in the tavern (so that you have more chips built up by the time you see the more expensive shops)
Slot Machine shop:
- now rerolls immediately after buying the three cards
- prevents paying to spin the slot machine if you will not have enough chips to also purchase the 3 cards after spinning
Four Card Shop:
- cards now cost 95 chips (from 115)
Counterfeiter:
- now visually shows the cards value increasing/decreasing
Have a Drink:
- Beer now damages you by 5
- Beer and a Shot now gives a Loyalty Card with 1 stamp
- House Special now damages you by 8 and gives a Loyalty Card with 3 stamps
- Loyalty Card is now visually moved to the ID Card to show that it is being added to your deck
- options in this event that would kill you can now be taken but leave you at 1 health
Card Removal shop:
- now locks the more expensive options until the cheaper options are purchased first
Crypto Bro:
- now shows the value you sold for
- now shows the ATH after you sold so you can see how close you were to the top
- positioning changes to better layout this event
Stay a Night:
- Fancy Room now heals 15
- Cheap Room now heals 8
- the No Sleep option can be taken even if health is below 5, will leave you at 1 hp (to prevent soft locking on this event when low on both chips and health)

Card changes:
- the suit of Loyalty Card is now Hearts
- changes Official Trump Card to take 2x chips and have Nothings as its suit instead of Diamonds. Since most of the time it would be used to create a blackjack it was just adding extra cognitive load to the player to have to work out if the refund was worth it or not.
- Gerald from Riveria now correctly waits until burn animation completed before moving to the next turn
- Negative Clubs and Spades now reduce the number of that suit counted for "on a winning blackjack" bonuses, rather than reducing damage or shields directly
- standardises and improves clarity of the description of Negative cards
- changes the reward pool to only include negative cards of suits the player has standard cards of in their deck
- changes clicking a card to count as taking a turn
- changes Double Back Card's effect to:
On click: has no effect.
- flips the numbers scratched off on Scratchcard by 90degrees so that they are more readable

On Click consistency:
- fixes cards with On Click effects to be more consistent when they are clicked while in the opponent’s play pile:
Dark Flower
- Now correctly discards and adds Halves to the card owner’s play pile
Credit Card Knife
- Now damages the card owner’s opponent
Transit Card
- Now correctly discards and moves card from card owner’s draw pile to the other draw pile
Insurance Card
- Now correctly burns the card owner’s card and takes card owner’s chips

Encounter changes:
- Bard now gives 49 chips (from 50)

Sound changes:
- adds a sound effect to the card fan animation when choosing a starting suit
- fixes a bug where highlighting a card while one was burning would cut off the burn sound effect

Clarity and QoL improvements:
- adds future rooms to the event/encounter choice screen so that you see how far through the floor you are
- speeds up the animation of the cards being dealt in the event/encounter choice screen
- the player now starts with 25 chips to match the dealer's 25
- improve the wording of the Coin Flip event to make it clear what you are betting on before committing a card
- changes ‘skip’ event button and ‘done shopping’ shop button to say ‘leave’ instead
- standardises the location of the ‘leave’ buttons
- changes ‘skip’ card reward button to say ‘skip rewards’ instead
- changes the hoverable elements (like Chips, Advantage) to use a consistent position for their explanation text, rather than wherever the mouse was when it entered them
- moves the lock icon so that it is partially visible even when other cards are covering the locked card in a pile

Bug fixes:
- caps Advantage at a maximum of 999
- fixes a bug where Sofa Sleeper event Give a Card option choice text was being set incorrectly

- fixes a couple of bugs to do with whether discard pile, draw pile, score card, and id card were being considered hoverable or navigatable while peeking
- fixes a bug where clicking the land card with the mouse then clearing the pause menu meant it wasn't clickable again until some other action was taken (i.e. hitting, standing, playing a card)
- fixes a bug where using a Credit Card Knife on a Trap Card would freeze the game
- fixes a bug where bust limit exceeded effects weren't being triggered by cards like Jack in the Box and Flash Card
- fixes a bug where the card art of Jack in the Box would not change for this encounter when changed to a Jack of All Trades by VIII Justice
- fixes a bug where cards moved into play pile by opponent played that would usually go to hand were not clickable (i.e. played by SD Card or Booster Pack)
- fixes a bug where the untraded cards from Trade Offer and the unchosen cards from Memory were not being added to The Collector/Gambler deck for the encounter afterwards
- fixes a bug where the text on the sell choice on Charred Lizard still said 10 chips
