I adore the concept behind Saleblazers. The game is an open-world survival game where you live off the land, build your own shop, and defend it from enemies attacking you at night. And with it fully playable in co-op, you can build shops together and defend against PvP invasions. It's really awesome, and it's just a whole lot more awesome to play on the Steam Deck.

The new 0.14.9.5 update, which dropped yesterday, officially brings full controller support to the game! This should make it significantly more playable on the Deck, which, before, needed to use Keyboard and Mouse controls, which weren't great. There's also support for mixed input, so you can use the Steam Deck trackpad as a mouse and every other button as a gamepad, and virtual keyboard support has also been added. This also includes full controller glyphs for the Steam Deck that were added to the game.

But this update also has so much more to it! There are now Peaceful World Visits, so you can just casually check out other worlds, more advanced game settings to customize your experience and server, Pacifist mode where enemies won't attack you unless you attack first, Hardcore difficulty mode, a new way to more easily move and place items, a simplified crafting UI, better melee combat, huge memory optimizations, bringing down RAM usage from 9GB to 7GB, and so much more.

You can check out the full changelog for this massive update via their Steam Community Post.
