Version 1.2.0.0 is HERE!
Hello Everyone! As always, thanks for playing Pellet Dodge, and here's a fresh update: Major Changes Updated to Unity 6.2 (from 6.0), which effectively patches the newly-discovered security vulnerability. This may improve or impact performance, as extensive testing was not done.

Major Changes
Updated to Unity 6.2 (from 6.0), which effectively patches the newly-discovered security vulnerability. This may improve or impact performance, as extensive testing was not done.
Added support for Vulkan and OpenGL rendering engines on supported platforms (Vulkan & OpenGL on Windows and Linux, OpenGLCore, for Intel Macs, on MacOS.) Use these for better power efficiency using '--force-vulkan' and '--force-opengl' launch arguments.
Added the Music Pack system to Endless Mode, with a new pack included for free with a collaboration with Panduhh (and Various Artists for some songs) to bring some high-octane dubstep and drum 'n' bass to your infinite battle in the OMEGA simulation.
Minor changes can be found in-game, if you care, in the Patch Logs menu.

Dev Update 9/8/25
Hey everyone! It's been a bit since the last Dev Update and... an Update in general. I've been honestly extremely burnt out on game development as a whole, but I'm starting to get back into the swing of things and the v1.2.0.0 update should be out this week. This is going to be a

Store Page Updates
Hey everyone! I’m just contacting for the sake of avoiding radio silence; I’ve updated the tags on the store page.
Removed the Multiplayer and Remote Play Together tags, as proper multiplayer features (not the minigames) will be added in due time.
Removed the Steam Input API tag— not that the game doesn’t support Steam Input, it just doesn’t utilize it like it should. In the future, proper support will be added which includes: Input Actions assignable to any input— not just rebinding buttons, and adaptive Glyphs; this’ll be like the current universal glyphs, but they’ll dynamically change depending on where the Input Action is called from. (Also PlayStation/Xbox controllers will eventually have their proper glyphs and not just the universal ones soon!)
Added the Level Editor tag, since you can do that.
Update Status Report
The newest version is in development and will properly introduce the new Music Pack system. This update will also feature a lot of changes and improvements to Endless Mode, as well as other changes… which is all I’ll say for now…
(Also I will eventually make proper update art instead of the generic ones here.)

Hello everyone!
So sorry for the delay on this simple update, I've been spending a bit of time working on a Google Play release. But, v1.1.9.1 is finally out! Here's a simplified list of the changes:
Base Game has more enemies in some levels to balance out the new changes to the pacing of the game.
Endless Mode enemy milestones and achievements have been more spread out to match the new score update (previously obtained achievements haven't been re-locked.)
Some achievements titles/descriptions have been rewritten.
Added a new ShipType for unlocking the Endless Mode's 'Magmanificent!!!' achievement.
Optimized Endless Mode score milestones to now check whenever the score increases; not formerly every frame.
Steam Deck's resolution should now be 1280x800 by default.
The On-Screen Keyboard now appears when selecting a text box on Steam Deck.
Other fixes and improvements.
As always, the full patch logs are in-game.
Hopefully the next update will be much quicker, whether it be v1.1.9.5 or the v2.0.0 update. Either way, big stuff is coming soon!
See you then,
Lyvri.

Hello everyone, hope you all are doing well.
v1.1.9.1 Progress
Despite burnout, progress is being done. v1.1.9.1 is going to feature:

some bug fixes
Quality of Life improvements
support for upcoming DLC (wink, blink)
and improve the Steam Deck experience (on-screen keyboard will soon automatically appear when typing in input boxes and the game will actually render the game in 1280x800 instead of it defaulting to 1280x720 for some reason.
This update should come out some time in May, but it's also going to be a very busy month for me between my birthday coming up and some academic events. Nevertheless, the update is coming out, and there will be more to come in the near future that won't be next year.
The Future
As always; here's a reminder that when v2.0 rolls out, the base price will go from USD$4.99 to USD$7.99 due to a severe increase in content. Now that that's out of the way, I want to talk about some new projects.
New Games Coming Soon!
I'm excited to (really early) announce these games I'm working on that will hopefully have a home on Steam when they're ready to release!
My Amazing Life as a Shoe Disposer!
In this comedy horror, you'll be a typical citizen with the amazing career of being a disposer of used and old shoes (you eat them. yes. EAT. it's totally fine for your health.) It's amazing! In this game, you'll live though your amazing life and throw parties to share the awesomeness.
In terms of development, prototyping has begun. There's a player-controller and a base house with a working door, but the groundwork for a basic alpha is there and shouldn't take long.
Primaldemic
Primaldemic is an open-world realtime action RPG gacha game where the gacha is optional. You can also directly buy characters at any time.
(They're discounted during their banner. 6-star characters are slightly OP, and can only be extremely rarely obtained from gacha.) Premium currency will use our standard pricing (cheap; USD$0.99 for 2 pulls worth, 10 pull is $3.99, and a guarunteed 5-star at 60 pulls would be about USD$14.99. About those pulls, your banner 5-star is always guarunteed once you hit 100 pulls. More details to be determined later.
In this game, you'll stop a plague that was caused by a rouge scientist as a bandage-cure for an unknown disease that wasn't nearly ready for the public. Side effects are turning ghoul-like and increased strength. Mutations may occur on severe overdosage.
In terms of development; it's in the planning phase. No prototype just yet, just a document for planned stuff and some soundtrack (yes I make songs for my games that don't even exist yet.) which you can listen to here.
MysticalDevelopers Legacy Remastered Collection
A full redesign of my old Scratch games are going to be remade in Unity. This collection will include:

Pellet Dodge: Classic: Remastered
Pellet Shoot: Remastered
Milk Drinking Simulator: Remastered
Each game will have redone graphics and improved gameplay that expands but stays true to the original content. This may or may not be a paid bundle. Development not started at this time.
Thanks to everyone who's enjoying my games, and I hope you'll stick around to see what'll be new in store in the future!

Hey #274!
This is regular contact on what's going on since updates are slower than ever.
What's coming:

Endless Mode 2.0 - New score system and minibosses with Endless-exclusive rewards.
Leaderboards will now use Steam (mobile and upcoming console versions will use something else, unless Valve one day adds cross-platform support for Steamworks services.)
What's the hold-up??
Short answer: Burnout. The worst enemy to all types of creators. I've just generally lost my motivation to do much in the Editor at the moment, since I've had to stare at pretty much the same stuff since 2021 (Wow, we're coming up to 4 years of total 'active' development!) so that takes a toll on how much you want to keep staring. The updates aren't difficult for me to do, they just honestly bore me.
So, what about it?
1) Rude. 2) I'm gonna try my quickest to leave Pellet Dodge off at a state that I can fully leave complete and be satisfied about it, while still having things I could possibly do to improve the game experience, or even do DLC. That'll be my end goal; to make a great v2.0.0. Then, after that, onto newer projects for the time being. So I can improve my skills and regain that excitement to learn something new about the project I'm working on. I've already got two 3D games in mind that I want to make that'll hopefully also be here on Steam. Please look forward to them, as I will be looking forward to developing them and experiencing your playthroughs when they're playable.

Hiatus of Multiplayer
Hey everyone! This is an occasional dev update to prevent radio silence, but I have a somewhat upsetting announcement. I unfortunately have to break my promise of v1.1.9 being The Multiplayer Update. Turns out, making a by-design singleplayer game multiplayer is extremely difficult, and requires a lot of time and effort that I can't put in without taking forever and end up not meeting a lot of self-made deadlines for updates. So, for now, multiplayer is pushed onto the back burner while I try to slowly rewrite some parts of the game to better support multiplayer. Current issues that I had with the first attempt were:

The input system was redesigned to only allow one type of input (keyboard or controller) at a time; with controller being auto-selected when controllers are enabled. The code is correct, but UI is still unusable with controllers, like it's not switching the input mode even though it knows there are controllers.
The input system also doesn't automatically create new Players in gameplay, also like controllers aren't connected.
To continue #2; All controllers will still end up only controlling the same main player ship when in gameplay.
I've done some debugging yet still couldn't yield results. So, instead of making update progress go to a halt while I tirelessly work to make multiplayer work, I'm going to put it fairly low on my priorities, while still working on it between updates so that no progress is made.
The Endless Mode 2.0 Update
So, instead of v1.1.9's main focus being the Multiplayer Update. I'm going to instead highlight it being the Endless Mode 2.0 update! This was going to be with the multiplayer update anyway, but this is now the main highlight of the update. The Endless Mode update will:

Overhaul Score; making gameplay actually score-based and not just time-based.
Add Minibosses to drop special buffs and grant a bunch of score.
Add a lot more Endless Mode rewards and even an exclusive Endless Mode shop/upgrades (since technically some Ship stats are actually different in Endless Mode.)
and some more things that I currently can't think of but will probably throw in when I do.
So hang tight, I've still got something cooking up.
Heads up about v2.0.0
Sorry to leave some important information at the bottom, but before talking about v2.0.0, I want to inform all the people that don't yet own Pellet Dodge that PD's price will increase to USD$7.99 when v2.0.0 releases. This is because v2.0.0 is going to be a huge content update that will increase the value of the game. It'll include the second part of the Base Game, first part Base Game story improvements, gameplay modifiers (to shake things up), replayability features (something sorta like New Game+,) and a lot more Ship customization options, as well as some other stuff I may come up with on the spot!
After v2.0.0, I'm going to take a hiatus from PD as a whole to start new projects and get better at making games. That doesn't exactly mean PD won't get any new updates after v2.0.0, since there's still some stuff that needs to be improved ahem, Custom Levels and Multiplayer WILL eventually be added.
I'm tired of typing now
Anyways, thanks for reading this (sorry for the wall of text) and for playing PD! Your feedback is extremely valuable to me and I am very willing to look for any of it to improve the experience for everyone. In the meantime, keep saving the Universe, infinite clones of Ship #274; we've still got a lot to do.

Hello! Since PD is an unknown (gem?) game, Valve has yet to add information regarding compatibility of the Steam Deck. So, here's my own words to tell you:

All content should work well using the default controller layout, as PD has had a long history of optimizations to controller support. (As long as I didn't bug anything.)
PD shows generic controller glyphs, but they still apply to the Deck's layout.
The game runs a flawless 60FPS at the Deck's native resolution of 1280x800. The game also defaults to run in the Vulkan rendering engine on Deck for improved battery life.
The UI is legible. PD has had mobile and small screens in mind since Day 1, so all the text is nice and large, but not too big. The font may be hard to read for some, but there is an option to change the font in PD's Accessibility Settings.

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of any updates and a bit of radio silence! I just want to report that I'm still working on update v1.1.9, it's just that progress is slow. Turns out that making a singleplayer game, by design, multiplayer isn't the easiest thing to do, but things are getting done! I can't give a complete estimate on when the update is out due to my inconsistent work motivation, but I'm hoping to get the update out before the New Year! Speaking of which, I want to talk a bit about things I want to do in 2025:

Release update v2.0 which will contain a massive amount of new content for the Base Game and overall story structure fixing
Release PD on at least one type of home console!
Release PD on the Google Play Store for Android devices to officially play!
Start work on Custom Level 2.0 (Better level creation experience and the ability to create large-scale levels and even upload them to the Steam Workshop... speaking of the Workshop)
Allow Custom ShipTypes; basically upload a square 256p image (PNG, JPG, or even a GIF!) and there ya go! Also let these go on the workshop.
Events!
Anyways, I don't know how to make a conclusion, so uh, yeah.
