Update v1.2: Drop the Beat

🛠️ Devlog – Update v1.2: Drop the Beat 🎵

Hey stream legends,

The latest update for Pandubs: Stream Ascend is now live — and it’s all about vibes, visuals, and volume. We've got new stream music, early emote support, and plenty of polish to keep your viewer count climbing. Here's what's new:

🎶 NEW FEATURE: Stream Music Player

The soundboard is live! You’ll now see a new "Stream Music" box below the chat window.

📦 Currently includes two custom tracks:

• PanDubsMode.mp3

• Pandubs DubWubs.mp3

⚠️ Heads up: The music unlock system is still a work in progress, so both tracks are fully accessible for now — no viewer threshold required. That means you can enjoy them completely free while we finish building out the unlock logic. 🎉

🎧 Tracks play in a built-in audio player with full controls. More bangers will be added soon!

😎 Custom Pandubs Emotes (Preview!)

You can now spot some early Pandubs-themed emotes floating through chat!

• Features early versions of iconic faces and reaction emotes from the stream.

• This system is still incomplete, so not all emotes are final — expect more polish and new additions soon.

• Emotes will eventually tie into chat upgrades, sub perks, and streamer path effects.

🧰 UI & System Improvements

• New visual polish on the stream box, evolution paths, and generator panels.

• Chat formatting improved for better readability and emote spacing.

• Upgrades and achievements now scroll smoother with improved responsiveness.

• Passive generators now display exact benefits and quantities in tooltip popups.

• Music player auto-hides when inactive; audio is muted by default for smoother startup.

🪄 Quality-of-Life Fixes

• Better autosave frequency (every 15 seconds during active play)

• Mute toggle now persists between sessions

• Viewer thresholds update dynamically in preparation for future unlock systems

• Optimized performance for mid and low-end systems

🔮 Coming in the Next Update (v1.3)

Get ready — the next drop is shaping up to be our biggest yet:

• 🎟️ Sub & Member Tags: Your most loyal fans will stand out in chat with real-time sub badges and member icons.

• 🎼 More Music Tracks: New stream-inspired original tracks will drop, complete with unlockable tiers.

• 🎯 New Streamer Skills: Choose your path wisely — each evolution class (Wholesome, Meta Chaser, Meme Overlord) will gain unique skill trees to deepen strategy and chaos.
