We are participating in Autumn sale and Steam award nomination
How do you do fellow steamers?
We are happy to say that we are participating in Steam Autumn sale and in Steam award nomination.
We have been working on our game for quite a while now and got some feedback from players that helped us change a lot of things in the game, one of which is the UI.
We were happy to receive positive feedback which has among other things praised our graphical style of the game! That's why we decided to participate in the Steam awards nomination for the Visual Style, as we feel that it "distinctive look and feel that suffuses an entire game" as the nomination says.
We are continuing our works on the game and if you feel that the style is catching your eye you can now smash that Visual Style button! ːsteamthumbsupː
Thanks for your support, The Wicked Days team. ːduckyː

After acquiring enough feedback we have reworked the graphical user interface, added item description and stats. Heads-up display is also updated, players now are able to see status effects even better, also player now is warned if his health is too low.
We received lots of questions about controllers support and although we already were working on it, we have moved it up in the priority list and with this update it is possible to play The Wicked Days with a gamepad!
We have also added more enemy encounters, more loot and items to the map!
We hope you will enjoy this update! We will continue to listen to feedback, tweak stuff and add new things.
