The latest development updates for the indie game *Shogun Exodus* focus on a comprehensive overhaul of the user interface, improving both visual clarity and modding capabilities. Updates #132 through #134 replace the legacy Jobs and Items icon launchers with a unified, configuration-driven text-button bar in the lower-left HUD. This structural shift not only cleans up deprecated assets but also introduces trusted script-handler support, allowing modders to integrate custom main UI buttons seamlessly alongside the built-in controllers.
Visual and typographic readability also received significant polish in this update cycle. Aurelia Emiko is now set as the default project-level GUI font with an increased base size of 18px for better legibility, while the main action buttons retain the stylized Brush Strokes font. Refined button hover transitions, stabilized text scaling, and enhanced press outlines ensure a more responsive and cohesive user experience across the game’s interface.
