Roller Drama Nominated For A MAZE Awards

Roller Drama Officially Steam Deck Verified! Plus Clear Texts Update

For this update, we worked on optimizing readability and font quality rendering, which was sub-optimal for Chinese and Japanese fonts.
Now the latter don't rely on fallbacks for missing characters so the overall experience should be better.



Plus, Roller Drama got a "Steam Deck verified" check! Playing matches on a Steam Deck should be even better.



Also, a host of little fixes and improvements:

  • Little fix when opening and closing meta panels.
  • Clearer icons for selecting and deselecting special actions in matches.
  • Fixed order of card selection in matches.
  • Fixed a bug when opening the Mental State panel and then attempting to close it with "B" on the controller.


Last but not least, a sale is now running, and the Spring one is not far too...
