OK! Version 3.0 Beta is available on Steam to test this week!

As of this news posting, the specific version number is v3.0.4

Known issues I am currently working on:

• Right Click to trigger DEAL/DRAW sometimes unintentionally triggers the click+drag card selection functionality.

• Progress towards achievements are not being displayed correctly in Steam. Announcer voice triggers but no Steam Overlay pop-up is shown.

List of changes to test and provide feedback on:

• General performance should be much better. A ton of code optimizations and superfluous logic culling should mean the game running faster/smoother in general.

• Refunding of player's previously held Diamonds + Spent Diamonds. A notification screen should be shown on first load into the game.

• New Graphics Quality settings are available in the Options menu. Things that the Quality settings adjust are:

  1. Fire / Ice effects

  2. Lighting

  3. Skybox

  4. Clouds

  5. Card selection particle

  6. Fireworks

• New Controls Added:

  1. Mouse Right Click now triggers DEAL/DRAW

  2. Mouse Middle Click (Wheel button click) will toggle Auto-Play

• New Card Face Styles added

• More Card Back Styles added and sorted

• 2 new achievements for the unlocking of All Toons and All Toon Skins

• Player Stats screen is now tracking Favorite Toon and Poker type.

• Bankrupt notification screen is a bit better looking.

• SFX when counting Coins and Diamonds has been redesigned to be uniform and consistent, no matter the amount being counted.

• Game now remembers the last used skin for each Toon.

Will be polishing a bit more and fixing the few small things I found and what you guys find...then releasing out of Early Access!

Enjoy and thanks so much for playing and your help making the game more fun! 💪
