Developer posts and news about this game.
This is a relatively small patch that mainly makes mixed-volume stems affect the spectrogram visualizers, so they now show the amount of audio you’re actually listening to. I also added configurability in Vocalata mode for turning individual stems on and off, which can help impro
Patched some potential immediate hard crashes while playing in karaoke mode.
Massive update covering the past six months of changes. My apologies for leaving it so long between updates. Tonic Melodic has received an incredible number of performance improvements and bug fixes this year. I have slowed the overall pace of development somewhat, focusing more
Bullets that strike a block’s metal surface now apply a 3-second charge. Any charged block breaks on a same-color melee hit—even metal. This is a significant power boost for Electric Guns and Shields, hopefully bringing them in line with Sabers. Several related systems have been
This update adds some eye-catching lightning effects to the gun and shields, making each shot and hit feel a bit more intense. You’ll also hear a range of new sounds throughout the game—from the electric hiss of the shields to new collision sounds for the bullets. More sounds are

This week, I focused primarily on graphics performance. Last week, I attempted a significant move to Vulkan/DX12, but ultimately reverted to DX11 due to its more consistent execution times compared to the newer APIs. The transition involved substantial rewrites to the custom part
Thank you to my first play tester!
This week I got selected is the jury, and then as the foreman of that jury on a rape trial. The only major additions from the past couple weeks is a new dialogue window where you can paste in links to songs on your computer, or Internet in general and play them immediately w/o re
