Been a while since our last update. Just a small one today sadly. I've been having a little too much fun working on my next project (teehee!).

Thank you to everyone who picked up the game during the sale and left a review! As always, be sure to join the discord!

We have a few bug fixes and a new new dark mode! You can use the UI Shade slider in the options menu to darken the outline of your HUD. Looks pretty splendid if I say so myself. <(￣︶￣)>
Here's a list of the changes and fixes.
Added a dark mode slider.
Fixed a bug that caused the player to unequip loadout perks when changing scenes.
Fixed 2 misspellings of the word “caffeine”
Fixed bugs associated with the Flame Maw ability which lead the player to take damage if a fire effect had been cancelled by the activation.
Fixed a bug causing graphical issues when hacking into horses and using them for line of sight.
Fixed intended synergy between unstoppable force perk and true warrior perk, equipping both will put enemies to sleep for an extra 100 seconds but disable the use of your gun altogether.
Fixed a bug preventing player clones from using spells when special conditions for AI behavior were not met. Throw is the only known skill affected by this but there may have been others.

Here with a few quick fixes. Thank you to everyone who picked up the game over the sale and left a review!
Fixed a bug causing slow motion to activate when typing in an input field on the loadouts screen and pressing the correct key.
Fixed a problem with the musicc player not playing custom songs on the first attempt. This was caused by a deprecated library not playing nicely with the secure version of Unity I moved things to a while back.
Added the two example songs back to the build for use in the custom music player.
Fixed a bug causing picked up legendary grenades to load with the wrong sprite, color and name.
Fixed some visual issues when viewing legendary grenades to the armory and loadouts screen.
Autohackers now stop hacking you when suspended via terminal
Autohacker IDs now depend on the number deployed instead of being randomized.
Fixed save deletion bug that allowed debt progress to carry over to a new save if the slot was deleted, and a new one was created in its place soon after.
Removed duplicate entry in the recoil section on the in-game wiki.

Howdy Agents! More bug fixes for you. (✿◕‿◕)
The following perks were broken in the 1.0.5 update. They should now work.
Ol' Reliable
Mad Bomber
Out of Bounds
Heart-Under-Blade
Energy Vampire
Additional Fixes & Changes
Prevented a bug that allowed the player to pick up a gun while reloading.
Fixed a bug that prevented a character from speaking to you at the end of the game.
Fixed a bug that prevented credits from rolling for a very specific ending to the game.
The Heart-Under-Blade and Energy Vampire perks no longer require a humanoid victim. This rule was hard to remember and caused players confusion. Seems easier to just make this universal so turrets and cameras grant the same reward.
Mac and Linux versions are now up to date.

Thank you to everyone who has left a review since the last update. And as always be sure to join the discord!
Here are the notes:
Added the loadouts menu! You can now save gear configs for later. Upgrading items in the armory will also carry over to your loadouts automatically.
The haunter attack will now play its sound effect even if you are hopped to a remote computer.
The There and Back ability now allows you to use free abilities when your armor is less than maximum. Having to specifically use a repair station to get out of this ability's downside (or be very clever with healing ahead of time) felt a bit too restrictive.
The Going Mobile passive now has a deadzone. If your mouse cursor is placed on your character, they will stop moving.
Optimized Perk Loading. You may need to re-equip some of your perks! One bit of spaghetti code required that all perks in the game be loaded into memory in order to give the player what they needed. This has been fixed so that only necessary perks are loaded. All in all it shaves about a hundredth of a second off of load times!
Fixed a minor AI issue that could cause agents to pause for a few seconds after repeated exposure to their target.
Fixed typos.

I have some quick bug fixes for you today. Special thanks to everyone who left a review since our last update, and to those of you who reported these bugs. As always, be sure to join the discord!
Here are da notes.
Fixed a critical bug that caused the game to crash when in stealth and tracked by black knight radar.
Fixed Black Fish and White Fish movement to reduce jitter.
Fixed a problem with Black Fish and White Fish not working correctly while a doppelganger was in the area.
Fixed a bug causing the Threshold ability to reduce your hacking range.
The Threshold ability now correctly follows your aim when used in conjunction with the Arms Runner perk.
Fixed an issue causing bubble drones to get stuck in the corner of rooms.
Fixed how the perks Bloodmage, Out Of Bound, and Neuromancer interact. Combining the three will now allow you to hack through walls and ignore data costs. In situations like this where there are multiple valid interpretations of how different perks interact, I like to learn towards the outcome that benefits the player the most.
Fixed a bug causing dopplegangers to incorrectly copy legendary weapons.
Fixed an issue with All Eyes On Me that caused shots to not pass through walls when pressing up against them.
Fixed typos.

Here with another set of bug fixes. Special thanks to everyone who left a review since our last update. As always, be sure to join the discord!
I had planned to have loadouts out this patch but the Unity migration ended up succing a lot more time then I anticipated. The coding for that is done so I just need to slap a menu together.
Here are the notes.
Changes
Moved DDS to a secure version of Unity. Unity recently uncovered a security exploit that could allow other programs to yoink your game's privileges. Apologies for the delay in getting things updated. The migration ended up breaking a few things and it took a while to take care of it D:
Fixed a visual error causing a skeleton's passive text to appear over the cover window.
Fixed a visual glitch on the fog effect in one of the endings.
Fixed an issue with bubble drones causing them to move inconsistently with the player camera and looking a little jittery as a result.
Fixed the same jitter issue on worms and squirmy.
Fixed a bug preventing the Creep skill from functioning properly in one of the late game missions.
Fixed a bug involving decrypter computers causing them to display a fail message even when successful.
Fixed a visual glitch when ending the Slip ability while inside a repair station, slug station, or regenerator station. The logical solution of what's supposed to happen here is a little up in the air. I made it so that if you are locked in a station and end the Slip, you will stay in the station. This has more fun implications than the alternative so I've cleaned up the interaction to look more natural.
The keybinding for interacting with objects will now update to reflect changes you have made to your bindings in the options menu.
Attempting to hack the secret stash before talking to Duvet will no longer break the dialogue encounter. Instead you will get a gentle but firm message from the concierge.
Hop rejection messages are now displayed in a lovely shade of purple.
Keybindings for the player's active abilities will now update after modifying your bindings without needing to reload the scene.
Added some protections to the terminal. There are a few reports of the terminal breaking and soft locking the player. Most of these I have been able to recreate and patch, but not all. Now you will get an error message in the event something goes wrong without breaking the terminal.
Fixed the message displayed on operator's when insufficient data is available. It will now display the correct amount of data you need, instead of half the actual cost.
Fixed typos.

Been taking a little time to work on my next game, but next on the docket is story saving, loadouts, and a little something special for Scarytober.

I want to give a special shoutout to MisspelledMoos for their lovely review of DDS! Go check out their video here!
Watch on YouTube
Here are the notes.
Fixed several huge issues with orbital breacons and black knights. Beacons are usually (with a few exceptions) supposed to summon black knights when the casualty rate hits 50% and that wasn't happening properly. Also fixed a bug causing the game to crash when manually summoning black knights in the prison break.
Fixed several edge case interactions with Empath. This vocation previously broke a lot of the symmetry rules I try to hold DDS to. Meaning enemies would arbitrarily not use empath abilities, or abilities would be disabled for anyone outside the player's team. That's no longer the case! In weird cases where enemies get their hands on empath abilities, they will now use them to convert the player to their team, which is very funny and has some busted applications. Allies will also make use of empath abilities a little more intelligently, like switching to melee when the Spank skill has been activated.
Added a new minor visual to the seducer perk.
The seduction status effect will now override existing seduction, replacing the visual with a color for the team.
If two enemies attempt to seduce each other simultaneously, they will now switch teams instead of both joining the team of the first seduction victim,
Seducer perk also works on enemies now and will not crash your game in one the final levels like it did several versions ago LOL.
Fixed a bug causing the perk unlock window to reflect the number of chiplets you walked in with, not the number you actually had when hovering over a perk button.
Fixed a bug with the reply window in the email panel that caused it to be locked in place if you exited the window mid-transition.
Fixed typos.

This is just a small weekend patch to fix a few of the bugs that were reported in our discord.
Here are the notes.
Fixed an unhackable fridge in an early Angel mission.
Fixed a duplicate name between elevators in the PGD level.
Fixed an issue that may have caused ego to be cut off at specific aspect ratios.
Removed a few words from the word bank that could cause issues.
Fixed a visual bug with the proboscis weapon causing it to imprecisely follow the player.
Updated Deus Absconditus with a halo effect that persists while the perk is in effect. This effects of this perk will also now end if the player attacks with their weapons or grenade.
Removed a note about early access that popped up when first starting up the game.
Added a tip of the day about how to sprint with [SPACE] and a reminder about it at the end of the tutorial.
Killing blue_medusa early will now skip their extremely brief conversation in the museum. You still can't hack them (we'll say their computer was damaged #fakeimmersivesim)
Fixed Typos
There are a few outstanding bugs I'm still trying to recreate on my end. Thank you everyone for your reports. I'll be fixing these things every day as the reports roll in.

It’s a wonderful day. Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum has released in 1.0! This update comes with a ton of bug fixes and some neat little touches I couldn’t find the time to complete until now. There’s plenty more to be done past this point, but the game needs to come out at some point and I think today is the day. Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum version 1.0 is the game I wanted to make.
DDS will continue to receive post-launch support for the foreseeable future as I begin to pivot to my next project. You can expect the long awaited roguelike mode to drop sometime around December or January, with plenty of bug fixes and adjustments in between. I’m not sure if it’s possible to get DDS playing *well* on a Steam Deck but I’ll be trying the best I can!!!!
Making meaningful progress on DDS has become increasingly difficult as work and responsibilities continue to mount. I think the greatest lesson I learned from all this was the real value of time. Time is too precious to spend it on playing bad games, or making them. So thank you for spending a little bit of your time with me :) Thank you for leaving reviews, thank you for spreading the world, thank you for playtesting, reporting bugs, making videos, making fan art, and most of all for the many kind words you wrote. This game would never have reached so many people without your kindness and your support. I hope that version 1.0 is something deserving of your time.
I’d like to give a shoutout to Emett for completing so much cool promotional art for the game over the years. Please go commission something from them over on twitter!

Special thanks to everyone who left a review since our last update. As always, be sure to join the discord!

By the way! If your old save files are failing to migrate to the new system, you should be able to resolve the issue by going to appdata/LocalLow/nodayshalleraseyou/DeadeyeDeepfakeSimulacrum, and deleting the folder called saves. Then just be sure to launch the game in admin mode. My apologies for the inconvenience here.
Anyways we have a bunch of patch notes to get through so let’s get this party started. Beware of some minor spoilers below!
New Stuff
A character now sings in the shower.
Added a minor visual set piece at the end of the final climb.
If you equip Freyja, and then rage quit back to the apartment after attempting the mission, the concierge will now take pity on you.
Improved fog and background effects shaders with better smoothness and fuzz. Many of the background effects had some terrible color banding going on and that’s largely fixed now.
The Slip skill is now bounded to an area, meaning you need to think a bit more strategically on how to use it.
Added a failure notice to skills in the event they fail to activate due to special circumstances, such as attempting to activate “I’m In” without a connection.
Added some additional debt unique dialogue to one branch of the Duvet questline. It is NOT worth the effort just to see this stuff so please.
Added a bunch of automatic replies to the email reply menu.
Adjustments
Completed a quick balance pass through all the game’s vocations, adjusting the cost and cooldown of many abilities.
Added a unique interaction between the Helicopter ability and the Bow weapon type. Pew Pew.
Made several tweaks to agent AI. Agents seemed a little too “slippery” in my latest playthrough, sliding around, bumping into walls, etc. This should be greatly reduced now.
Divine Mandate now also applies to bow projectiles.
Updated how the Neuromancer and Out of Bound perks interact so that they can synergize for a hyper-specific benefit. A terminal message chastising you for the complexity of your build can appear if you opt for this.
Tutorial messages now use your assigned keybinds instead of the defaults. There are a few places where this still needs to be fixed.
Blown kisses now expand a bit over time instead of teleporting into existence.
The Throne of the King spell is no longer persistent across saves. While I like the idea of having some cross save unlocks, getting the email at the start of a new save felt kind of weird and intrusive. I think a good compromise would be to offer these abilities in the best shop ever some day. This skill was also too expensive to use at the beginning of a new save anyway.
The Concierge no longer uses the cloak ability at the end of one path in the Duvet questline. They just appear now which better fits their mysterious nature.
Guilt now has a faster health recharge, meaning it’s not so trivial to lock them down in place.
Adjusted the faces in the Champion mission to actually reflect the characters in the game LOL.
Improved the aesthetics of several minor locations, such as the Mall’s second floor and the Hospital.
Added an adjustment to the tutorial so that the message explaining how to snapback your camera will not disappear until you actually do snapback your camera.
Updated the costs and counts of many abilities in the game.
Lowered the default volume for many UI elements.
Added a lock to the secret door in the Mall levels so you don’t accidentally go in there too easily.
Buffed sleep nades so that they have a minimum sleep time of 5 seconds and a max of level+8.
Buffed sleep ammo to remove the ammo penalties.
Swapped the face sprite for the nurse, their sprite looked a little too close to another character and it always weirded me out a little.
Buffed horses to have 5x standard armor instead of 2x.
Added a new blinking light to speedbumps so you can tell if they are on or not from the other side.
Adjusted several lines of dialogue to read a little more smoothly.
Adjusted the names of several extremely minor NPCs and special agents.
You are now stripped of your equipment when making it to the end of the final climb. Having it broke my set piece and there wasn’t much of a way to express yourself with it in that moment anyways. #fakeimmersivesim
Bug Fixes
Block control computers in the prison level are now fully compatible with the ez hack interface.
Adjusted rigidbody interpolation settings so furniture no longer jitters while you’re pushing it.
Adjusted rigidbody interpolation on jellyfish projectiles.
Fixed a problem with the mysterious red package in your apartment.
Fixed several problems with how legendary weapons were loaded.
Fixed a bug preventing the sniper in the snowfield mission from targeting newly spawned units.
Fixed a bug causing shrines to grant a speed penalty instead of a speed buff.
Fixed a bug allowing you to skip out on your date and steal their ride.
Fixed a bug causing hacking agents to open their laptop while using the grapple hook ability and kinda freaking out in the process.
The Critical Structure mission now actually expires if you wait too long like a character warns you about. This will expire if you complete all three advanced missions on either the bed or cage route.
Fixed several bugs causing UI elements to trigger their sounds when out of view.
Fixed a small audio artifact on the Angel Headquarters mission track.
Fixed several edge cases that could cause the player terminal to crash.
Removed annoying fuzz effect in the coffee mission.
Fixed a bug causing a bunch of weird walls to spawn in the jellyfish palace.
Fixed in unintentional stripe pattern from appearing on some floors in the bathhouse mission.
Fixed typos.

https://x.com/KSteakay
This update is only on windows. Building for everything takes time so I'll be holding off on that until the big 1.0 drop next week due the the microscopic number of players on Mac and Linux.
Enemies now drop their equipped grenades on death, meaning you can now acquire new nades out in the field.
Fixed a bug preventing shields from spawning in the Coffee factory level. Jellyfish agents now use "diamond" shield instead of a rotating one. I completed a playthrough the other day and the rotating shield mechanic was one of the only things to really irritate me, so the softer version of this mechanic is now being used across the board.
You can now preview Mission BBS missions by hovering over them with your cursor.
Adjusted the threshold for bullet-self damage. It should be harder to shoot yourself when moving at close-to-bullet speeds while shooting bullets in front of you.
Added a new pixely shader that covers ui elements when piloting units.
Fixed a bug preventing RBG lables from appearing on sliders in the wardrobe.
Added a new fog effect to Proc Gen missions and adjusted how weather effects are mixed.
Enemy melee weapons are now dropped a little distance from their body, this will hopefully make it easier to choose between melee and gun when picking something up. I am prototyping some new interaction UI elements since the one in the game is kinda clunky. Might have that in for 1.0.
Adjusted text justification in a few menus.
Fixed a bug preventing the UI from updating when piloting a unit, and picking up a melee weapon without having a melee weapon already equipped.
Adjusted the cost of BBS missions to all have random wacky values. Idk I think it's funny to be paid such a specific amount of money for a mission.

This update is only available on windows right now.
Notes in no particular order.
xx_flybynight_xx's mission now awards a new ability; Air Strike. Place down flares to obliterate everything in between!
The Snipe Hunt ability which was secretly unlockable through this mission now belongs to the hidden Support Vocation along with Air Strike.
Added new ability: The Coin. Since Snipe Hunt changed Vocations, a new ability was introduced to fill the gap. This ability is dumb and silly.
Reworked the Lilypads mission. This mission was the second I ever made for DDS, and its age / simplicity was definitely starting to show. The mission has some new walls and doors, and a reworked computer network.
The Out of Bound passive drawback has been changed. This ability was very fun but also the most busted thing in the game. The previous downside was a annoying when it mattered and non-existent when it didn't. Out of Bound makes hops require data AND ego, still allowing you to hack wherever you want, but forcing you to consider your hops much more carefully. Lemme know what you think of this change!
You now get all the secret chiplets for skipping the intro and tutorial. (I added this a few updates ago but I think I forgot to include it in the notes oopsie)
The Martial Art Vulture skill now only works on hostile units. It was a little too easy to engage in degenerate play when this worked on the very vultures it summoned.
Your initial skeleton and grenade now appear in the armory at the start of a playthrough.
Mousing over skills and perks now allows you to preview them in the UI.
Adjusted the height of perk and skill buttons so that the Vocation image is displayed next to each. Hopefully this makes things easier for color blind individuals.
Fixed an issue with the Coffee level's background shader.
Adjusted colors for the Bath House level so things pop a bit more.
Perk text is now left justified to look a bit cleaner than before.
Fixed a bug causing Beam guns to land on fractional projectile counts and expend all ammo per shot.
Fixed some code causing hack lines to jitter a bit on moving targets.
Made minor adjustments to the networks of several levels.
Fixed typos.

Added some new optional dialogue for the player in the event they've paid of their debt. This mostly affects Duvet's questline but there are a couple other lines for other encounters too. Please do not pay your debt just to see how these encounters can play out now, all you get is some very stupid dialogue.
Demo players can now use the jester, knight, and necromancer vocations. Not sure why I locked these off in the demo, it's not like there was anything in the demo to tell you they were in the full game :|

Howdy Agents (✿◕‿◕)
Today we have the release of DDS 0.9.6! But first, an important announcement!
DDS will be releasing in 1.0 in on September 18th! That’s only one month away! The feature list is pretty locked in at this point, so for the next month I’ll just be focusing on bug fixes and polish.
DDS will continue to receive updates after 1.0. Notable new features include.
+Roguelike mode. I had planned on phoning this in but I’ve got some fun ideas now that I’d like to spend more time on.
+New game plus, featuring mechanical twists on all existing levels.
+Localization
+Steamdeck support (we’ll see) and more accessibility features.
I could probably keep working on this game forever but at some point we gotta hit 1.0. I think next month is the month. Thank you so much to everyone who left a review since our last update. As always. be sure to join the discord!
Anyways! We got an update to get to. Here are the notes.
Cloud Saves and New Save System
DDS now supports Steam cloud saves and has a fresh new save system backend. This shouldn’t change anything about the gameplay experience, but you can now view your save files in human-readable format! These are located in the appdata/LocalLow/nodayshalleraseyou/DeadeyeDeepfakeSimulacrum/saves folder on windows. Your old save files should be automatically migrated to this new position when you start the latest build for the first time.
Mission BBS Improvements
Procedurally generated missions now use a flood fill algorithm to make extra sure your objective is reachable no matter your build.
I’ve also added new fog shaders, colors, and a ton of new tiles from the Kenny free patterns asset pack. Mission BBS levels should look better than ever once you unlock wacky generation params on level 5 missions and above.
Cartel Job Mission Update
This is the second mission if you opt for The Concierge’s violent path. I’ve added a fresh coat of paint and a brand new song which are more reflective of the delicious ultraviolence this mission has to offer.
Minor Changes and Fixes
Gifts now throw up a little chiplet visual to help clarify what you’re getting out of them.
Added a new shader for agents calling in remotely.
The Defensive Twirl perk has been buffed to increase reload speed 20%, down from 50%. Annnnnd writing this it looks like I forgot to update the ability description but we’ll get 'em next time.
The Arms Runner perk has been buffed to drain slug at a rate of .2/s down from .5/s.
The Meepis and Scronkle ability is now free to cast instead of 7 ego. I have no idea why anyone would spend ego on this thing.
Updated the network graph so you can zoom out more and scroll around faster.

Here with some bug fixes and additional details about the 0.9.5 Update.
Thank you so much to everyone who left a review since our last update. As always. be sure to join the discord! You can grab a save file to skip you right to the juicy stuff if you're not the sort of player who likes digging for obscure secret endings.
DDS is on track to release in 1.0 this September!
New Stuff
Added a new ending to the main story. Yes, by popular demand, it's real.
Added a (not so) bad ending that you can get for screwing up big time.
Added some new settings to the options menu. You can now select resolution from a proper dropdown menu along with target framerate. Note that your target framerate will not affect things if you have vsync on.
Bug Fixes
Mozzarella the rat not longer has a space at the end of their name (this is a hyper obscure bug please ignore the patch notes)
The song in the first angel mission now loops properly.
Fixed a softlock issue that occur if you quit out of the game during a final ending sequence, preventing you from seeing the end credits.
Fixed a major issue causing the game to look choppy when running at 60fps. This was due to a physics setting I was unaware of and me only playing DDS on my 500FPS Nachos Locos Baja Gaming Monitor. Game should feel slightly smoother if you're running at 60fps.
Passing a negative index to a skill command via the command line no longer bricks your terminal.
Befriending Autohackers no longer bricks your terminal.
Fixed an issue with the options menu causing duplicate resolutions to appear.
Heart bomb now has auto complete for trigger and disarm commands
The damage effect for horses and cars is no longer flipped the wrong way in certain cases.
Extended the perk description box so that more complicated perks aren't cut off.
Melee particles no longer trigger on the mount / vehicle you are riding despite dealing no damage.
Fixed several problems with blimps. Blimps dying while piloting and snapped should no longer lock your camera in place.
Blimp shields now rotate to face your aim direction if you are piloting them.
Blimps no longer immediately hit themselves when firing a beam weapon.
Fun fact, blimps have infinite ammo and don't need to reload. The reload animation was technically there and it looked super bad, so I just made it so reloading on a blimp does nothing.
Fixed a bug that bricked your kick with no valid targets using the Racoon martial art perk
Fixed several typos (Sisyphus rock music intensifies)
