Insider Trading

The fourth major update for Insider Trading has been pushed as the game enters its first Summer Sale!Thanks for your continued (or newly found) interest in Insider Trading.This 1.4 update brings four new characters to the game. Three correspond to the card types that didn't have a character of their own, alongside one that introduces a slightly different game mode.New CharactersFour months have passed since release, and during that period, there have been various suggestions as well as plans on the development side to create new gameplay concepts. These new characters were created to realize those ideas.With some characters altering the game more drastically and some affecting it in a tamer sense, I hope these deliver a wider experience as you play through Insider Trading.While all four new characters each have a unique unlock condition, most are related to meta-progression, such as requiring a certain win count. If you have invested hours into Insider Trading already, you may notice a few new characters unlock as soon as you launch the update.Below, I will go through basic summaries of what each of these characters does.Spoiler alert: If you wish to figure them out by playing

(Patchnotes have been translated using AI) Rare cards in Insider Trading were deceptive. Unlike what their tag suggested, they weren't that rare to find. And because they were so common, they ended up being under-balanced. Consequently, rare cards became neither rare nor particularly good. This was counter-intuitive and strained the balancing of certain cards that could have been much more exciting.The 1.3 update tackles this by making rare cards feel actually rare and rewarding to pick up, featuring stronger effects than before.Several rare cards have been buffed, 18 new rare cards have been added, and the mechanics around finding rare cards have been adjusted.Rarity ChancesPsychedelic, a pill that spawns rare cards when used during card selection, was the main reason rare cards felt less rare.With this pill spawning fairly frequently, the actual spawn rate of rare cards was quite irrelevant.Therefore, Psychedelic has been adjusted to be a rare pill itself, sitting alongside the Poison Pill and Ice.As this powerful tool for spawning rare cards has been adjusted, the natural spawn rate of rare cards has been slightly increased. - Psychedelic is now a rare pill.- Increased natu

Hey guys, I've been working on controller support for the past couple weeks, and the game's come to a state where it can be played fully through a pad without the mouse having to be involved. This means sliding your trackpad on the Steam Deck is no longer necessary to emulate a cursor (although you could do that if you prefer to), and instead everything could be navigated around with the d-pad and a/b/x/y buttons.While thorough testing has been done in a couple controllers, I am much more of a keyboard/mouse person that is unfamiliar with using controllers, so there may be odd interactions you may come across depending on your machine, settings, or just with general setup, that I may have overlooked.If this is the case, as always, let me know in the Discord or comments below and I'll try to go over them.Controller SupportAll buttons could now be navigate by using a d-pad, or your left joystick.Hotkeys have been set out for commonly used buttons, which will immediately grab focus on the designated button when pressed.When booting the game from Steam, it should natively set the game up with default controls, but if by any chance the controller doesn't seem to be w
