Overboss 1.02: Clearer turns, clearer scores

Thanks to everyone who kept reporting problems. This update is about readability and getting started. It does not change any game rules.

New

• Live scores. Every player's score is always on screen, with a "Turn X/12" counter. Hover a score to see where the points come from.
• Placement preview. When you hover a square with a tile selected, you see the tile and the points it would score there. Points then fly into your score.
• Rules at your fingertips. Hover a tile (in the market or on your map), a token (in the market or in your lair) or a command card to read its rule.
• Restart turn (solo). Pause menu, then "Restart turn", goes back to the start of your turn after a confirmation.
• Play again at the end of solo and local games, with the same settings.
• Continue on the main menu resumes your latest save.
• Final board. The end of the game now shows your final map for a moment before the scoreboard. All players fit on one screen, and the winner gets some confetti.
• First launch. The game now offers the tutorial the first time you play. Each game mode has a short description.
• Multiplayer clarity: A banner announces whose turn it is, the market shows who took a pair, a golden ring shows when your boss power can be used, and the computer's choice is shown before it plays.
• New main menu and pause menu, and a faster pace between turns.

Fixed

• The Options menu no longer fails to open on ultrawide screens or when your resolution is not in the list.
• On 16:10 screens, including the Steam Deck, the market and the command cards on the sides are no longer cut off.
• The default nickname showed "Player [X"; it now shows a number.
• Ranks read "3rd" instead of "3th", and Japanese ranks are translated.
• A grey square no longer appears on the score screen, and the version number is hidden during a game.
• Campaign objective descriptions are easier to read, and the level 3 objective (a square of four Camps) is now detected wherever the square is on the board.
• Save files are now stored in your user folder (

AppData/LocalLow/BlanketGames/Overboss

), written safely, backed up, and recovered automatically if a file is damaged. Your existing saves are picked up automatically.

Under the hood

• The game now runs on Unity 6. If something looks off after this update, tell us.
