Mini-Dead is now fast
Mini-Dead is now on v2.0.0.6. This solves an issue which must have existed for months now in which the game actually runs at half the speed.
This has now been fixed, so I recommend trying the game again at the true intended difficulty.
Other changes include:
- Changing the behaviour of buttons to trigger on mouse press, rather than mouse release.
This should make menus feel more responsive.
- Safety period at the start of the fight
Now, when a fight begins, Ember cannot be damaged. You are free to watch the bosses perform their attacks in total safety. Once you click, you become vulnerable. This is a good quality of life update to ensure you don't spawn in taking damage, but more importantly, helps you learn what the boss will do. Critical for the upcoming DLC.
- Freeze frame on death
A lot of the times you may die in Mini-Dead and not know why. Now, when you die, the screen freezes for one second. Again, just a nice bit of polish so that your death is noticeable as opposed to being thrown into the warp screen.
- Thought bubbles!
You can now middle-click to produce a thought bubble! There's 3% chance of getting a rare thought such as dogs or something else.
DLC progress
Life is very busy for me. These coming months are especially difficult. In edition, 2020 was a really bad year for my mental health so working on projects was a struggle.
The DLC is at a good spot. One boss in particular is very hard to design for right now but I've made progress lately. It's important that each boss is fun and feels good. Every boss is done except for the last two.
All the music is complete thanks to wonderful mudeth. Check him out here:

The soundtrack is absolutely spectacular and so, so good. I couldn't be happier with it and I can't wait for you to listen. It might be larger than you expect.
In summary, the DLC isn't dead. I'm aiming for a Halloween release but, as usual, it'll be done when it's done.
Cheers!
