🛠️ Devlog – Update v1.3: Loaded Beats, Full Chat Energy

Welcome to Update v1.3 of Pandubs: Stream Ascend!
This patch activates stream music, live emotes, full Sub/Member tags, and expands the Wholesome Streamer Skill Tree with six powerful new upgrades. Let’s break it down:

🎶 Stream Music Now Playable

The Stream Music Player is now fully working!

✅ Playable tracks:

• PanDubsMode.mp3

• Pandubs DubWubs.mp3

⚠️ Note: There's a 30–40 second delay before music plays after clicking. This is due to background loading and will be optimized in a future update.

🎧 Once it plays, the track plays once (no looping for now). Just hit play again to replay.

⚠️ Heads up: The music unlock system is still in development, so both tracks are currently free to access — no viewer milestones required. 🎉

😎 Emotes Now Visible in Chat

The chat now includes real Pandubs-themed emotes!

✅ Emotes that may appear:

• pdubs gg, pdubs hype, pdubs hello, dubseat, and more

🛠️ Emotes are currently visual only — future updates will add:

• Emote-triggered chat reactions

• Emote-based upgrades or viewer effects

📛 Sub & Member Tags Are Live

Viewers now have flair!

• 🟦 [Sub] and 🟪 [Member] tags appear next to usernames in chat

• Adds personality and identity to your growing community

• Tag-specific bonuses and perks coming in a future update
