Hey all, Bauske here.
I know it's been a long while. I'll cut straight to the chase: This update isn't a content update, but instead the update I've been working on for a while to fix the majority of the major bugs that have been plaguing Micro Stream RPG these past few months.
I wanted to get a full update out that featured new dungeons, new enemies, some new mechanics, AND have the bug fixes as well. Honestly that was kind of a stupid move on my part. The bug fixes should have been top priority on their own. Add to that that I started a new job in January, and it has been draining getting used to the 8-5 grind again. Full time jobs take up so much of our times, it leaves little room for game dev or creativity, but I've been working on Micro Stream RPG whenever I can to get this stuff done.
All this to say that the content update IS still coming, and is moving along nicely. Just a little bit more work to be done in the fourth dungeon and it'll be finished. But for now, I wanted to get this update out that addresses the nasty bugs that caused me months of stress. I think I've finally fixed them. In the build I've been using to test the new dungeons and enemies over the past couple months, I haven't experienced any of the common issues. Feels like I might have squashed the bugs.
So, this is a major update for bugs, but a minor update for content. But don't worry, the content is still coming. I'd ultimately like to get it done by the end of March, but I don't want to make any promises I can't keep. For now, try this new version out, and let me know if you still have any of the persistent issues that were happening in the past, like chat disconnects, crashes, or shortcut commands activating in the background.
New stuff is coming soon!
New Features:
Added in visual effects for St. Patrick's Day.
Adjustments:
Fixed some issues with custom characters for Kyzie, Retropony28, and OddaBnuy.
Fixed an issue where unreleased enemy sprites could show in The End Between.
Bug fixes:
Fixed a bug that was causing Micro Stream RPG to crash randomly.
Removed an extension from the game that was (hopefully) causing keyboard shortcut commands to activate in Micro Stream RPG even when the window wasn't in focus. For this update, I have turned shortcut commands back on since this issue should hopefully be fixed, but if you're still having problems, you can disable or re-enable shortcut commands in Micro Stream RPG by pressing and holding the S, C, and \\ keys for 3 seconds. A message will appear in the bottom left corner if this is successfully done.
Implemented a new system for connecting to Twitch. This new system should prevent doubled connections and will prevent the game from losing connection as frequently.
V0.24.1 Changes
Update to support 2026 Spring Event.
Slowed down background speed in The End Between to create more perspective.
Character sprites for KirHaru, Yo_yoshi, Baphi, and RaemMorea.
