Major Update: Controller + Profile + Statistics + Global Polishing

On 03/02, a Major Update lands for the DraQu Beta.

This isn’t a small patch: it’s the kind of update that makes the game feel more solid, more comfortable, and more ready to play.

(What’s new)

• 🎮 Controller support (Steam Input / gamepad: menus + gameplay)

• 👤 New player profile

• 📊 Match + profile statistics

• ✨ Lots of improvements to UX, clarity, and performance

• 🧹 Bug fixes (yes, the critters have been escorted out of the tavern)

Note: Plinko + economy/shop/avatars are coming in the next patch (already cooking).

✅ New

🎮 Controller support

• Steam Input / gamepad support

• Improved navigation in menus and UI

• Focus/selection tweaks so it doesn’t jump around oddly

👤 Player profile

• A new, clearer showcase profile

• Better readability of progression and relevant data

📊 Statistics

• Match stats (summary at the end)

• Cumulative stats on your profile

✨ Improvements (lots)

• General clarity improvements (messages, states, visual feedback).

• UI flow improvements: transitions, selection, inputs, and consistency.

• Balance/pacing tweaks (small, but noticeable in long sessions).

• Performance improvements in scenes/UI (fewer spikes, more stable).

• Localization improvements (texts, truncation, consistent terminology).

• Accessibility/readability improvements (sizes, visual hierarchy, contrast where needed).

• Tutorial/onboarding improvements (less friction when starting).

• Long-session stability improvements (less buildup of weird states).

🐛 Bug fixes (several)

• Fixes for occasional freezes/errors when navigating menus under certain conditions.

• Fixes for UI states that could get stuck halfway after confirm/cancel.

• Controller/keyboard selection fixes that could lose focus in specific cases.

• Visual fixes (alignment, scaling, UI layers, long texts).

• Sync/state fixes for match events (edge cases).

• Fixes for simultaneous inputs (avoid double confirmations/repeated actions).

• Audio/feedback tweaks to prevent sounds from firing twice.

🔜 Next patch (on the way)

• 🪙 New mini-game: Plinko

• 💰 In-game economy + shop + avatars

• 👥 Nexus up to 5 players (currently: 2)

Feedback

I’ve prepared a section on Discord with the rules for Nexus and a space for feedback. Tell me what happened while playing and how it felt: that’s worth gold.
