Desire Dash 0.8.0 changelog/devlog
Desire Dash » Devlog
Hello Everyone,
This post covers the discussion on the 0.8.0 build, its changelog, and some bugs that need fixing.
As you know, Version 0.8.0 of Desire Dash was recently released. Here are the release notes detailing the changes and additions:
Release Notes for 0.8.0
New Hub Areas
- Introduced two new hub areas: Meadows Hub and Beach Hub.
- In these hubs, you can explore, interact with NPCs, and engage with various objects.
- These additions aim to enhance world-building, creating a more immersive experience.
- Future updates will include more NPCs with side quests that unlock additional scenes.
Revamped Conversation System
- Significant improvements have been made to the conversation system for a better user experience.
- Updates include changes to both UI aesthetics and core mechanics.
- A new text-skip system now works consistently in most areas.
- Some areas, such as the Desert Stage and parts of the Meadows Stage, still require refinement (e.g., option selection highlighting).
New Struggle Mechanism
- A struggle mechanism has been added to the Meadows Stage.
- Previously, colliding with enemies triggered H-scenes but penalized the player (speed, health, time, or bottle losses), which felt counterintuitive.
- Now, during H-interactions, players can struggle with enemies:
- Win the struggle: Gain a reward (winning H-scene) with no penalties.
- Lose the struggle: Penalties are applied.
- This new system ensures a more rewarding experience for players.
New Currency System
- Coins are now earned at the end of each wave based on performance.
- Coins can be used to purchase items in the shop.
- The coin reward system is still a work in progress and will be refined in future builds.
New Shop in Beach Hub
- The Beach Hub now features a shop run by a sexy gypsy woman.
- Players can interact with her to buy items, such as Halloween Party Tickets.
- Future updates will add more items, including those tied to side quests.
New CGs for Story
- Multiple new CGs (character graphics) have been added to improve storytelling:
- The introduction now features a comic-style, panel-by-panel animation instead of a static image.
- Added CG for Isabella and Alex's 2nd interaction H-scene.
- A new story narration precedes the Halloween event H-scene with Miss D.
Minor Audio Improvements
- Improved audio effects, background tracks, and interaction sounds.
- Updated main menu sound effects and added new background music to suit the game’s tone.
- Audio enhancements have also been applied to the conversation system.
Quality of Life Improvements
- Small tweaks and adjustments across the game improve the overall player experience.
Known Bugs and Workarounds
- Save Feature Needs Further Update
- Issue: The save feature does not work for conversations and CGs. If you complete a conversation but do not finish a wave, your progress may be lost.
- Workaround: Play a stage and then return to the main menu to ensure progress is saved.
- Shop Conversation Bug
- Issue: After buying the ticket from the shop, skipping the farewell dialogue using the skip button can cause the game to freeze, requiring a hard reboot.
- Workaround: Avoid skipping the shop conversation.
- Fix: This issue has been resolved but requires further testing before the next update.
- Conversation Spilling
- Issue: Replay of the Introduction Story and Miss D CG scenes may cause synchronization issues.
- Workaround: None available yet.
- Fix: Addressed and will be included in the next update.
- Party Hall - Ebony & Ivory Conversation Lock
- Issue: Visiting the washroom before completing their quiz may lock the Ebony & Ivory scenes. This occurs due to a hitbox conflict between the washroom and Ebony & Ivory sprites.
- Workaround: Complete the quiz before visiting the washroom or click on the lower part of the Ebony & Ivory sprites.
- Fix: Addressed and will be included in the next update.
That’s all for the 0.8.0 Updates! If you encounter any additional bugs or issues, please reach out to me at blueartgames@gmail.com.
