• 🎱 Next Fest Ready, Optimization & Global Vibes! 🎱 - 11 June 2026

  The momentum isn't slowing down! We’ve been keeping our heads down, listening to your feedback, and working hard to make sure the game runs like an absolute dream—whether you're playing at a desk or on the go. This week, our main focus was under-the-hood performance, Steam Deck love, and taking the first big steps toward welcoming players from all over the world. Here is what is rolling out in Update 0.demo.139: 🔋 Performance & Steam Deck LoveBattery Life Boost: We have massively reduced both GPU and CPU load across the board. If you're playing on a handheld, you should see an average of about 2 extra hours of battery life on Steam Deck!

• Chasing Steam Deck Verified: How we halved our GPU load and doubled battery life - 4 June 2026

  Hey everyone, Dan here. I’m the Tech Lead for Spooker. We’re currently chasing that magic Steam Deck Verified tag and spent the last few days doing a deep dive into optimization.I wanted to share our exact process and the steps we took to profile and fix our bottlenecks. Hopefully, this helps some of you optimizing your own native Linux builds!The Baseline (Before Optimization)To set the stage, we’ve been pretty hardcore about performance from day one. We use Addressables for manual memory load/unload, mipmap streaming for textures, and audit our code religiously. Instead of heavy loops, our codebase is reactive, using R3 and VContainer for injection, alongside zero-alloc libraries like UniTask to keep our footprint low.Despite all that, here is where our Steam Deck (64GB LCD) was sitting:FPS: Solid 60GPU: 90% at 1520mhzCPU: 40% at 1949mhzVRAM: 2.9 GBRAM: 6.9 GBWhile 60fps is great, sit…

• 🎱Spin Baby Spin!🎱 - 2 June 2026

  The feedback keeps rolling in, and we are absolutely loving it! You all have been busy sinking balls, and we’ve been busy making the experience even better.This week, we tackled one of the biggest requests we received: Physics and Spin. Before diving into the changelist, a quick note on our philosophy: internally, we like to say we are more Mario Kart than Forza. We want Spooker to be our own unique "Pool-like" game, not a rigid, full-blown Snooker simulator. We aim for what feels incredible and fun to play. If a physics tweak is 95% accurate to real life but 100% more fun, that’s the route we’re taking!Here is what’s new in today's update:🔮 Physics & The Big "Spin" UpdateComplete Physics Overhaul: We heard you want a touch more realism, so we re-adjusted everything—from the bumpers and felt friction to individual ball mass. The game just feels incredibly smooth and satisfying now!Cue…

Don’t tell Ralphie, but there is a lot more now, to help you escape! Changelist: 1) Made smaller versions of the Octagon, Hexagon and Bolt Head table, as players were finding these early tables hard to sink balls. 2) Fixed a bug where audio would sometimes not play on overscore coins exiting the scoreboard.3) Added a tooltip for Curse balls in play mode when hovering over a Curse Ball. 4) Added a tooltip for coloured pockets in play mode when hovering over a coloured pocket. 5) Capped the total amount of coins that a safe can hold. 6) Added the Ball Case in reward selections. 7) Changed the aim algorithm to be more accurate to the white ball…
