Hello! We've spent most of the last two weeks polishing the beans out of 20XX's Endgame, but today's live patch still has some juice to it. We've finally made some long-overdue controller detection improvements, given AL a fresh coat of paint, and fixed a bunch of bugs.

Note: We're considering a pretty big change to Normal/Casual play. Read about it on the Community (click me!) and tell us what you think!

Disclaimer: 20XX is in beta. As we develop the game, we may make changes that require us to invalidate or wipe your 20XX save files, Steam Leaderboard info/achievements, and other save-y stuff like that. Be aware!

TL;DR for today's patch: Controller detection! AL! Bugs!

For pretty much every patch from here on out: Polish forever! Forever. (More netplay.)

As always, let us know if anything's busted or if we missed a change.

BIG CHANGES:

• AL's received a fresh new chassis!
• 20XX now detects controllers as they're plugged in or removed, instead of only on startup.
• Outside of local co-op, 20XX now reads input from all devices simultaneously (and will ignore your Input Device setting). This'll prevent issues where new players think their controller isn't working because the input's set to use KB only.

SMALL CHANGES:

• Added a little charge-distort effect.
• Postprocessing effects no longer affect the UI layer.
• The Mortar has a new Juiced effect. (It might be OP - we'll keep an eye on it.)
• Phase Blocks in Glory Zones are no longer artificially slowed down early.

BUG FIXES:

• Fixed a bug causing stats to apply to Nina (instead of to Ace or to Co-op) if you save and quit mid-run.
• Fixed a bug causing HP/Energy stats to record in multiples of 1000.
• Fixed a bug causing certain end-level statements to incorrectly take your HP/Energy into account.
• Really fixed a bug causing Soul Chips at level end to spawn in the ground. (If this isn't fixed, we'll grind on it and hotfix it.)

Thanks for reading!
