Release v1.0

Nocturne FX™ is now officially out of Early Access.
After months of iteration, testing, and polish, v1.0 marks the stabilization of all core systems: visuals, gameplay, performance, and configuration. While new features may still arrive in the future, this release signifies a fully playable and technically complete product.

Expect smooth frame pacing, enhanced audio control, improved UI behavior, and refined performance backed by internal static analysis and feedback-driven tuning.

💸 Now Just $2.99

To celebrate the full release, the price has been permanently dropped to $2.99 USD. Thanks to everyone who supported the project through Early Access!

🧠 Engine & Architecture

A new optional FPS cap is now available when VSync Emulation is enabled:

• Configurable between 1 FPS and your display’s refresh rate

• Use -1 to uncap

• Useful for limiting resource use or stabilizing pacing on unstable variable-refresh displays

• This is uncapped by default but can be toggled in the settings menu

Menu System Refactor:

• Menu logic now uses a dedicated internal enumumerator system

• Reduces per-frame overhead and improves UI responsiveness

Removed Screen Diagonal Scaling:

• UI sizing no longer relies on screen diagonal calculations

• Button sizes and other elements now appear consistent regardless of resolution or aspect ratio

🛠️ Developer & Debug Improvements

Static Analysis Clean Pass:

• Any remaining issues from static analysis tools have been resolved

• Backend code is now cleaner, safer, and easier to maintain

Frame Cap Logic Integrated:

• Frame cap state is now logged in exported performance metadata

• Enables more accurate profiling for both players and developers

📊 Miscellaneous

Bug Fixes:

• FPS now correctly displays refresh rate when maxed (not +1)

• The back button inside the settings menu not displaying a tooltip has been resolved

• Player no longer remains shrunk after dying while under shrink effect
