20 May Hotfix #2

May 20

We are in our 2nd week after Early Access launch and are excited to bring you our 2nd hotfix!

We expect this to be the final update before the June Patch.

The focus of this Hotfix is bug fixes, improvements to the Level Select and Infinite Disco flow, and even some new Challenges. The majority of what’s here was based on your feedback and bug reports - keep 'em coming, please! Also keep an eye out for a bigger update in June with a number of new features and improvements (details on our socials and in our Discord).

Thank you so much for your support and positive reviews! We continue to work hard to make Dead as Disco the best it can be <3

Gameplay

Fixed issue where occasionally a perfect dodge wouldn’t be considered as such when dodging Arora’s meteors. The red indicator should now also be more helpful and consistent. If you felt like this attack was unfair sometimes — you were right.
Fixed issue where Arora’s meteor and Prophet’s car throw could occasionally land instantly.
Fixed issue during the Arora Boss where being at the edge of the arena can cause the meteors to miss the platform and the indicator will blink forever.
Fixed rare issue where players could get stuck inside a falling meteor from Arora.
Fixed issue in Dex’s level where it’s possible to get stuck floating on the edge of a platform after a Mosher attack.
Adjusted the timing on Dex’s intro to not be as awkward (and show a random floating heart).
Fixed issue where Charlie could get stuck and fall through the destroyed bridge in Dex’s level.
Prophet should no longer get stuck out of bounds near the edge of the arena in Boss Phase 2.
Fixed some sound effects not playing in Prophet, Arora and Dex levels.
Adjusted sound effects for when the Fever Bar reaches full.
Updated Shocked tooltip to include that enemies take extra damage when hit while Shocked.
Fixed a bug where bosses could have missing indicators.

Infinite Disco

Added a separate tab for Free Play vs Custom Challenges. Added an initial panel to select which mode to start with. This was to address feedback that the experience could be clearer.
Free Play songs now have heart drops from enemies. The Free Play experience is intended to be easier (like the demo), and Challenges are where to go for a more challenging experience.
Free Play songs now have Leaderboards.
Fixed issue where the shuffle checkbox UI could become inconsistent with the actual playlist shuffle state.
Fixed issue where restarting Challenges during the countdown causes the next countdown to start earlier.
Challenges - Gravitational Pull challenge objective now works for any level of Singularity charge (not just max).
Challenges - fixed an issue where Match Made in Heaven was awarding Fans instead of Points at certain thresholds.
Dead End Drive arena: the crowd shouldn’t invade the playable space anymore and should dither on low-medium settings.

Accessibility

Added color blind settings in Video > Settings.

New Challenges

(yes, even in a hotfix we’ll roll out some new content!)

There are 2 new Challenges to play: Complex Situation and Studio Smash Hit.
Complex Situation has you rush to complete 7 Takedowns while weaving in Heavy Attacks. Unlock the new “God Complex” arena on completion.
Studio Smash Hit has you focus on mastering the Showstopper ability. Unlock the new “Studio Speakeasy” arena on completion.

General

Level Select - Levels now show a brief description for the selected level. Story levels show the highest scores and stars.
Level Select - Changed the names of the difficulties from Easy/Normal to Chill/Amped and added descriptions about the differences. This was done after watching players automatically select Normal instead of an experience that fits the type of gameplay they want. The goal is to make the differences clear so players can select what is best for their playstyle.
Fixed issue where Dex was playing some of Hemlock’s VO.
Prophet’s hood should no longer clip into his head during the finale cinematic.
Fixed sound effects on some transitions.
Adjusted the tutorial to have the player do more of each action.
Reduced the amount of work during the initial benchmark and Auto-Set in Video Settings. This should solve rare issues where players were getting stuck here.

Localization

Fixed Ukrainian difficulty names so they fit correctly and no longer overlap on the level select screen (should be fixed for real this time).

200K Copies Sold, Hotfix #2 Incoming & June Patch Preview

May 12

Hey Disco Crew!

We have been blown away by all the positive reception and support we’ve received from our players! Dead as Disco has an 95% Overwhelmingly Positive review score globally, and it's sold over over 200k copies in less than a week. This is absolutely mind-blowing, and it's all thanks to you!
We've spent the last week watching player streams and reading feedback, which has helped us narrow down key issues so we can respond to them quickly. This included fixing Hemlock issues we'd never seen before and stack of custom challenge issues we discovered thanks to the crazy things players have been building with them. On Monday we rolled out Hotfix 1, fixing over 30 items directly reported by players.

Check out the full Hotfix 1 Patch Notes here:

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3404260/view/658231711192057379?l=english

We are going to continue that quick response time with another hotfix planned for next week, followed by a fuller patch in June.

Hotfix #2

The next hotfix will be focused around Free Play and Challenge improvements, With over 30 unique songs Free Play has a ton of content for players to experience, so we're focusing on making Free Play more chill and inviting (like the Demo) while challenges continue to offer players, well... a challenge.

Adjustments to Stage Select to give players more information about each stage and what each difficulty entails. Now you’ll actually know what the differences are!
Reducing the amount of friction for getting into Free Play
Leaderboards are returning to Free Play songs!
Heart drops will be added to Free Play to make the experience more chill
Arora’s meteors are still a pain in the butt. We’ve got a couple more tweaks there to make them feel better
Some new arenas and challenges! Even with our focus on fixes, we still want to make sure we are putting in some new content as well - even in a hotfix
Bug fixes - yup, plenty of these!

Then in June, we’ll be looking at a larger patch that’s more feature/content focused. Things to look out for in that patch:

Selectable Dances feature. The current Dance Move randomly selecting a dance was always a stopgap. We’ll be introducing the ability to select which dance you want and multiple control bindings so you can style the way you want. Of course, there will be some new dance moves to earn and collect as well!
Challenge playlists. We’ll be giving you the ability to string together challenges back to back to create your own Challenge playlists. We are excited to see what sorts of custom craziness y’all come up with!
More mods for Custom Challenges. Custom challenges is an area that we will continue to improve with each and every patch. We’ll keep adding more - and we want to hear what you want!
The return of Arena Swapping. Players from the early demo and playtests will remember the ability to dynamically swap arenas that we had to remove due to a number of issues. We are bringing this back!
We’ll also introduce a totally new song and arena with this update, so keep your eyes open for more info on that
Accessibility improvements. One goal for us during Early Access is to continuously improve accessibility. We’ve gotten some feedback from you and we’ll be taking our first step on improving this.
Of course, plenty of bug fixes and balance adjustments

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3404260/view/658231077844813042?l=englishAnd this is just all the stuff coming in the short term! You can check out our roadmap here:

As we move into Summer, you’ll start hearing more about the next Idol and all the great new content coming in the leadup to their reveal.

It’s worth noting that our roadmap is intentionally flexible so that we have the ability to respond to what we see from our community. We are always looking at our bug reports, Discord, streams, etc to determine what are the most important things for us to address next. So please keep it coming! We appreciate all your support and can’t wait to keep making Dead as Disco better for you! <3

[Patch Notes] - 11 May Hotfix

May 11

Early Access is out and we have our very first hotfix (the first of many updates to come!). Hearing your feedback and fixing bugs is what we are totally focused on right now. Even though we are sitting at Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam (thank you all soooo much!) we know we’ve got a lot to do.

Some highlights: We saw some issues with Hemlock we’d never seen before and your videos and clips are helping us track down the root causes. We watched people struggle with the meteors in Arora’s fight and realized we made a major oopsie there - that’s now resolved. People going crazy on custom challenges brought a whole list of issues to light that we’ve addressed.

This is just a start - we’ll continue to make improvements to the first time flow and make it smoother and easier to find the fun in Infinite Disco (in addition to everything on our roadmap). We are on a (brand new) mission to make this the most fun game you’ve ever played!

Gameplay:
- Possible fix for an issue where Hemlock sometimes wouldn’t correctly transition to his final boss phase (as well as added additional logging to help us debug this case)
- Possible fix where Hemlock could end up under the world if you hit him with a Drumstick Toss as he was transitioning to phase 3
- Arora's meteors are now more consistent when it comes to perfect dodging. Timing should be more generous and players will no longer get hit when they properly dodge
- Fixed a few rare cases where inputs would seem ignored (under the hood it was a problem with our gameplay system not finding a valid animation to play)
- Fixed a bug where the guards would not always play all the hit reactions they should during finishers

Custom Challenges:
- Fixed required ability names not always displaying when using the “Perform an ability a certain number of times” custom challenge objective
- Removed Leaderboards from custom challenges, these were not intended.
- Fixed enemies being able to spawn out of bounds during custom challenges
- Fixed an issue where Arora’s projectile attacks sometimes wouldn’t fire when spawned into a custom challenge
- Fixed an issue where enemies from a previous wave could re-appear during the next wave if one wave used a spawn pattern and the other did not
- Fixed custom challenges that use My Music not updating when their song is added/modified

General:
- Added an “Early Access” indicator element to the Main Menu UI
- Fans Per Second earned increased from 1 to 2 per second in Story and Infinite Disco to help players earn Fans faster
- Free Play is now the default tab when entering Infinite Disco
- Level Select now shows stars for completed levels and total challenge stars for Infinite Disco
- Boss remixes are now available in Free Play once unlocked in the Jukebox (after the record is purchased)
- Charlie’s Mixtape now plays by default in the Encore instead of being silent
- Infinite Disco - Added a warning text to let players know they need to set the tempo before the song can be saved, also added a requirement of setting a tempo/BPM value before saving, instead of prepopulating with default value of 120. Many players thought 120 was an auto-detected value. We do hope to get auto-detection in the future.
- Setting the Tempo in Advanced Editor now changes it in My Music when a song is initially added
- Fixed an issue where decimals weren’t working properly in My Music tempos
- Dialogue will no longer cut out music when set to 0 volume in Settings. The effect scales down with VO volume
- Added a new jingle sound for collectables
- Fixed a possible crash when launching for players using mods
- Fixed the slightly squashed visuals during the Hemlock Animated Boss transition
- Fixed delay in displaying leaderboards when gameplay is paused
- Fixed Infinite Disco arena reverting to the default arena sometimes
- Idol arenas now unlock in Infinite Disco immediately after the relevant challenges are completed, the player no longer has to exit and re-enter Infinite Disco in order for them to appear
- Fixed Drumsticks not displaying the correct material during gameplay

Localization:
- Fixed Ukrainian difficulty names so they fit correctly and no longer overlap on the level select screen
- Fixed “Wave Spawns” not being properly localized
- Fix a couple of cases where Japanese and Traditional Chinese characters appear as ?

Dead as Disco Early Access – The Road Ahead

May 5

Welcome to Dead as Disco Early Access!

Thank you so much for jumping on the bus with us. For those of you already in the Discord, you know it’s already been a wild ride over the last year. So many playtests and patches, and so much feedback! From advanced beatmap UI polish to late night balance suggestions, you have already helped to shape this game so much.

But now it’s time to buckle up, because the road to 1.0 will be glorious.

Each season of patches is themed around a music festival, containing multiple update patches along the way. The Summer Flames Festival kicks everything off, with 3 major stops:

=====

May: HOTFIXXXS

=====

Update 1 – June

Our first update brings major additions to Infinite Disco and My Music. Highlights:

Custom Challenge Playlists linked to My Music
The return of Arena Swaps (new and improved)
Selectable Dances so you can customize your flow
New Arenas, Challenges, and Mods
And tons more

With every update, you can expect quality of life improvements asked for by you, as well as balance changes, ability improvements, narrative additions, and a list of additions too long to mention (honestly, I really can’t stop the team sometimes).

Update 2 – Midsummer

Midsummer turns up the heat with a major expansion to our rockstar wardrobe options, a wave of fresh memorabilia & collectibles, and a few summer surprises. We’re also planning to pair it with a mid-season balance and abilities pass based on your feedback.

Update 3 – Boss Idol Finale!

We finish out the summer with an XL patch dropping our first new Idol, along with everything you’d expect: full music video story level, new killer music, skills and signature ability, enemies, narrative, collectibles, fashion, and additions to the UGC tools.

Fall, Winter, & onto 1.0

Our Festivals will continue into the Autumn holiday season and through the depths of Winter, revealing new Idols as we go. With each festival we gain a clearer understanding of how close we truly are to 1.0.

We currently plan to launch 1.0 in 2027, with a massive launch patch focused on refreshing the experience for everyone, infusing the game with final secrets, and delivering the final narrative arc.

Along the Way…

Many Early Access features are bigger than any single patch, so let’s call them out:

New Idols / How Many Idols Are There? We haven’t confirmed the full roster of the band formerly known as Dead as Disco, but 4 of them are the Boss Idols available at early access launch.

Difficulty, Challenges, & End Game. These items will be added in pieces through many updates. New enemy variants, mods, enemy behavior, level patterns, and true hard mode are among the many pieces we will release over the course of early access. But the final end game battle against Harmony Corp (and true ending) will be saved for the 1.0 release.

Co-op Multiplayer. This is a big one, and we won’t release it until it's ready. Our Beat Kune Do gameplay introduces a lot of new multiplayer problems to solve. Our goal is to add even more spectacle without sacrificing the flow that makes the gameplay so special.

Even More Music Coming. More licensed music, more covers, more streamer safe originals – the hits just keep on coming! We have an incredible year of music lined up for you.

Skill & Abilities. We’re just getting started. In addition to the new skills and signature abilities introduced with every new Boss Idol, we’ll be revising and expanding the existing skill trees over early access. The skills have already benefited tremendously from player feedback, and we don’t plan to stop now.

Leaderboards. As we listen to feedback and tune the game, the competitive landscape will naturally change, so we will employ a “Leaderboard Seasons” strategy. The names of the winners of each season will be saved in the community (and hopefully the game one day) so they can be celebrated properly before resetting the Leaderboards for the new season of balance.

Narrative, VO, & The Encore. The game will have full VO, but currently VO is limited to the story levels and tutorial. VO will be added to The Encore – our dive bar and music club hub – over time. New narrative arcs will be added as each Idol is revealed, but the final story arc won’t land until 1.0.

Replay, Editing, and Photo Support. We want to give our creators the ultimate tools to capture every moment and angle of the violent kaleidoscope. Photo mode will arrive sooner than replay, because replay functionality is linked to many of the same issues as multiplayer and will take time.

Automatic BPM Detection for My Music. We’d love for you to pop in a new song and for combat to “just work”. We’re looking into solutions, but for now you’ll still need to manually calibrate the beats per minute when you add songs.

More Mod Support. We have been blown away by the modding of the demo, and will continue to keep the game moddable during Early Access. We are also looking into the best way to support mods more officially, whether through a third party integration like mod.io, or something in-house. For now, it’s safe to say that we can’t wait to see what you do with the game, and we look forward to providing even more.

Additional Accessibility & Calibration Settings. Due to the vibrant nature of the game, we need to pay special attention to accessibility to keep Dead as Disco enjoyable for as many folks as possible. We also have to do it for two genres that both demand a lot of accessibility and calibration options: rhythm & action. But the good news is that Early Access is the fastest way to get the feedback we need to improve our settings. (Special call out to those of you waiting patiently for on-press attack options – it’s on the list)

And So Much More...

Thank you again for all the support and feedback that got us here, and for all it will take to get us to 1.0. It’s going to be a year to remember.

See you on the dance floor!

-Will Cook

Early Access Price, Soundtrack Release and More!

May 1

Hey Disco Crew,

May 5th is right around the corner and we have some new announcements to share, including pricing and how you can get your hands on Dead as Disco’s killer music.

Early Access Pricing

Pricing & Packages

Early Access launches at $24.99, but for two weeks, it’s 20% off at $19.99!

(And pricing will be regional, as requested)

We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the support of our early adopters, so the launch discount is meant to reward our day one fans with the best deal possible–the price won’t go lower than this until long after 1.0.

Speaking of 1.0, joining Early Access means you’re getting everything we add along the way. Every boss, balance patch, My Music update, and more, is yours automatically.

We’re also launching the official Dead as Disco Soundtrack across most major music platforms, so you’ll be able to get all our killer music whatever way you like best (more details below).

If you’re a true superfan, we’ve bundled the game and streamer safe soundtrack. The price depends on the platform, but it’s on sale for around $25 during our launch (regional pricing will apply here too).

Where to Buy

In order to get Dead as Disco to as many players as possible we are partnering with Steam, Green Man Gaming, Xsolla, and the Epic Games Store. This will allow us to make the game available globally wherever you normally buy games.

What about the Demo?

We’re keeping the demo available for free for those who would rather wait for 1.0 but still want to crack some skulls on the dance floor.

Albums & Music Streaming

Let’s talk about music! Many of you have asked us how you can get your hands on our sick beats, and do we have some good news for you! We will be releasing two versions of the soundtrack alongside the game’s launch.

Dead as Disco, Streamer Safe Soundtrack Vol. 1

With the launch of Early Access you will be able to buy the streamer safe version of the soundtrack directly alongside the game. This studio recorded album will contain all 15 Original Songs as well as 5 bonus tracks, and a slew of themed wallpapers (See some of them in this post) for your PC or Mobile device.

Cover songs and licensed music will not be included in the streamer safe album, due to how music licensing rights are handled.
The streamer safe album will be priced $9.99, but for two weeks will be discounted 20% to $7.99 (localized to your region.)

“One Night Only”, Dead as Disco’s Radio Play Soundtrack Vol. 1

We will be releasing the 27 track soundtrack to all digital platforms including Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, iTunes and many more! No matter how you listen to music you should always be able to get your Disco on!

This release will include both the Original Music as well as the Cover Songs. The prices for Singles, Albums, and Streaming will vary depending on retailer but will be in line with what you’d expect to pay from these platforms, including any of the free streaming services and platforms.

Why do you have two albums?

It’s a long story, but the simple answer is, Licensed Music rights are pretty complicated. Our goal is to support artists who partner with us, so we can bring you all some more amazing collaborations in the future. As a result we need to distribute any licensed music through traditional music retail channels and pricing structures.

What about future music?

Volume one of the soundtracks are stand alone albums, but we’re excited to keep sharing our music with all of you! As new songs are released we will be adding them to streaming services ASAP. Once we have enough new music, we will assemble additional albums and release them. This means you can expect a full standalone vol. 2 album to be released alongside the 1.0 launch, with additional songs.

Supporting our Creators

Our creators have been a large part of our success, so we wanted to do something to give back to them. We will also be launching an Affiliate program with the launch of Early Access in partnership with Xsolla.
Creators can sign up for the program and once they are accepted they will be given their own custom shop & links for Dead as Disco, and we will share 25% the revenue with you.

Over time we’ll continue to do more for our Creators, hopefully expanding these programs to offer other incentives like platform Integrations, drops, unique in game creator rewards & More!

So get out there and support your favorite Dead as Disco creator!

Bring the noise!

Thank you all for coming on this ride with us. None of this happens without you showing up, playing, breaking things, and sharing what you thought. We can’t wait for you to jump into Dead as Disco on May 5th!
