v0.9.0 - Performance & Audio sync
The Audio Calibration Update is here!Ready to find your rhythm again? For v0.9.0, I focused heavily on performance, Steam Deck compatibility, and making sure PARADOGX feels as good as it sounds, no matter what hardware you are using!Features:New Audio Calibration Tool: I implemented a new interactive system to measure and adjust input lag. This is a game-changer if you are playing with wireless headphones (Bluetooth) or on a setup with natural audio delay.Changes:Steam Deck & Performance: I did a lot of under-the-hood optimization. I switched form static batching to GPU instancing with GPU culling to get better runtime performance.Gameplay Flow: Added extra "safeguard colliders" on moving blocks. We improved the UX to allow for less dying and more "reckless dog play"!UI Polish: Better keyboard glyph positioning in text boxes and added protection against rapid-toggling menus to prevent input issues.Added "Fade to transparent" effect at game start so it looks nicer.Visuals & Assets:Improved "Glossy" material properties for a more consistent look across the game.Added new 3D assetsPolished animations for the dog and moving crates.Bugfixing:Fixed an issue where the "Death Plane" looked wonky when resetting from far away.Fixed a bug where the Customization UI wouldn't update properly after equipping a new skin.Fixed random audio SFX glitches occurring on game start.Fixed logic bugs regarding crates spawning on islands.Addressed various softlocks and audio-sync issues.
