Dimensional Double Shift: Update 1.12, The One About “Angry Face Behavior”
Greetings valued Shiftworkers,
Our teams across every dimension have been hard at work improving lighting, stability, performance, visuals, and the overall health of the DDS ecosystem. The result is hundreds of little improvements spread across the diner floors, garage walls, swamp highways, and suspiciously breathing countertops of the omniverse.
Please enjoy this latest round of enhancements approved by at least three Conglomni safety organisms.
General Improvements
Performance Improvements
The first wave of broader framerate and performance improvements has arrived.
Our engineers spent considerable time untangling inefficiencies from across the omntiverse, including improvements to:
NPC arrivals and exits
Rendering performance
Environmental optimization
General system behavior during busy shifts
Translation from Conglomni Corporate:
Things should feel smoother, less swampy, and slightly less likely to make your headset sound concerned.
This is only the beginning. Additional optimization work is already shambling its way through the pipeline.
Visual Improvements
Lighting Passes Across Dimensions
Numerous lighting improvements have been made to both interiors and exteriors across the game.
From flickering garage corners to the damp neon glow of late-night Sporelando diners, environments should now feel cleaner, moodier, and more visually consistent.
Diner & Garage Art Polish
Our art team has continued polishing assets across all dimensions with a huge number of environmental fixes and touch-ups.
That includes improvements to props, modules, surfaces, set dressing, and assorted objects that previously looked like they had been left in swamp humidity for 14 consecutive fiscal quarters.
Which, to be fair, some of them had.
NPC Improvements
NPC Voice & Reaction Updates
NPC interactions should now feel more responsive and readable during shifts.
Changes include:
Improved reactions to player actions
Better fire responses
Expanded angry face behavior
Reduced overlapping voice lines
Customers can now more effectively communicate disappointment, concern, and emotional devastation in real time.
Progress!
Bugs Fixed
During the Verbal Flow BOOSTER, Drain Pumps now actually drain liquid instead of creating an exciting indoor flood ecosystem.
Accessibility menus no longer mysteriously disappear while inside rooms.
The Sporelando Coffee Pot now properly liquifies inserted items as originally intended by science.
Toadtorial Toad has been granted official Conglomni Protected Species status and can no longer be milled into liquid or skewered for recreational purposes.
Add Friend and Exit UI prompts now correctly appear after finishing shifts.
The Corks are now appearing at their intended size and are expected to make a full recovery.
Fixed several issues that could cause unusually long load times while entering shifts.
Thank you for continuing to keep the omniverse operational, profitable, and only moderately contaminated.
Please continue reporting anomalies in Sporelando to your nearest Conglomni representative, fungal council, or legally recognized bog whisperer.
