During this short Early Access period and the long development of Daisen, we have learned many lessons and improved our skills.

But one thing has remained unchanged communitys opinion about Daisen. We believe that Daisen is not only a game by LOYAL Studio, but also a game for everyone who has purchased and plays it.

So, to make the game even better, we decided to create a short survey where wed love to hear your thoughts on Daisen.

\\[ Link (ENG) ]

We would be very grateful if you could take the survey and give us your honest feedback to help improve Daisen right now!

We havent updated Daisen for a while but not because weve been taking it easy. During this time, weve been preparing a set of improvements and new features that make the gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.

Daisen Interface

The interface is one of the most important aspects of Daisen. It has always been a priority on the same level as gameplay and narrative.

This update makes the UI more convenient and pleasant to use:

• Shop buttons in Hub (Bloodstorm) dialogs. You can now see them directly during conversations. Prefer hotkeys instead? You can disable this feature in the interface settings.

  [/*]

• More icons! Every weapon in the shop now has a unique icon that reflects its shot type, making the menu more visually informative and stylish.

  [/*]

Discord Integration

Want to casually let your friends know you\'re playing Daisen? Now you can!

Discord now displays your active game mode and in-game progress.\nFor example, during Bloodstorm, your status shows the current wave and your score.

Testing Features

Occasionally, well be adding Testing Features to experiment with new technologies or adjust certain aspects of the game.

The first one is a new shader for characters. This graphical improvement brings some elements stylistically closer to anime.

Other Improvements & Fixes

• Fixed UI scaling on uncommon screen resolutions.

  [/*]

• Significant optimizations.

  [/*]

• Updated the logic for loading custom tracks Daisen now uses less RAM, even if you load 100 tracks.

  [/*]

• Fixed a bug where enemies on the Hard difficulty were no different from Normal.

  [/*]

• The punch attack can now push the player back. Extremely useful for aerial combos give it a try!

  [/*]

• Fixed an issue where the player could sit while in a standing state.

  [/*]

• Fixed the weapon system. Hits on enemies are now calculated more accurately and consistently.

  [/*]

After the release of v0.1.1, youd expect v0.1.2 to come next but nope! We decided to roll out an update under the number v0.1.101. A small but important improvement. Heres whats been changed in this version:

• Fixed the exit warning text in Bloodstorm removed the incorrect phrase You will lose all progress.

  [/*]

• Fixed an issue that prevented players from shooting enemies at point-blank range.

  [/*]

• The Archangel has received improved stats.

  [/*]

• Corrected text in the Ukrainian version of the Temporal Fiasco document.

  [/*]

Weve prepared the first full update since the start of Early Access. It brings both improvements and new features to make the gameplay more dynamic and engaging.

Score System & Leaderboard

Weve reworked the scoring system and updated the leaderboard.\nPlayers can no longer endlessly farm score a new score is only saved if it surpasses your previous personal best.

Heres a quick look at what Daisen awards points for:

• Enemy kills

  [/*]

• Hitting critical zones (e.g., headshots)

  [/*]

• Quick Swapping your weapon at critical heat levels

  [/*]

And thats only part of the system. Can you discover the rest?

AI Improvements

Weve significantly updated enemy behavior:

• less crowding around a single target;

  [/*]

• more frequent attempts to find alternative paths;

  [/*]

• more dodging and repositioning.

  [/*]

These changes make encounters more varied and noticeably more dynamic.

Other Changes

• Added two drone types: Arc and Line.

  [/*]

• While talking to Maria (NPC in the office), you can now open the weapon and document shop from any dialogue line.

  [/*]

• Hotkeys for shops are now easier to notice.

  [/*]

• Intro logos can now be skipped faster with a new animation.

  [/*]

• Optimization: faster loading and fewer stutters.

  [/*]

• The Hospital level is now brighter.

  [/*]

• Fixed various text issues.

  [/*]

Weve quickly addressed several critical issues and implemented improvements that will make the gameplay experience noticeably smoother. Thank you to everyone whos already playing and helping us refine the game!

Fixes & Improvements

  [/*]

• Correct rendering of enemy bullets\nEnemy projectiles are now processed correctly by the GPU, improving overall performance and stability.

  [/*]

Hello! Daisen has finally launched in Early Access and now you can dive in and experience the game with new improvements, Bloodstorm, new weapons, and many other updates!

\nWed also like to remind you that if the top 3 players on the Bloodstorm leaderboard agree, their names will be added directly into the game.

Hello, players!

Were excited to announce that today, November 20th at 7:00 PM Kyiv time (5:00 PM CET / 11:00 AM EST / 8:00 AM PST), our game Daisen is launching in Early Access! To make it easier for everyone to join and try the game, were offering a 15% launch discount.

But this is just the beginning of our journey. Early Access isnt just about testingits a chance to make the game better together with you. With each update, well add new features, improve mechanics, and make Daisen even more engaging!

And heres some special news for our most dedicated players: the top 3 players on the Leaderboards for both normal and hard levels will have the chance to become part of the Daisen worldtheir names will appear as NPCs, in dialogues, or on items (depending on your preference). This is your chance to leave your mark in the game!

Well see you today at 7:00 PM Kyiv time (5:00 PM CET / 11:00 AM EST / 8:00 AM PST) in Daisen! Get ready for adventures and unforgettable moments.

And heres the image for those who wanted to see it in higher quality and without text:

Yes, weve been away for a while. Some might think we forgot about our own game but thats not the case at all. All this time weve been working on Daisen: listening to your feedback, improving the feel of the game, and adding new features. And today, were finally ready to show you what weve been working on.

Bloodstorm

Training Spheres are great, but Daisen has always aimed for something more. Thats why, by the time Early Access launches, were adding a fully functional, complete Bloodstorm mode.

In short: survive earn points climb the leaderboard get currency buy items become stronger. Stonks.

This is an endless-wave mode where your goal is to survive as long as possible. After each run, you earn points that are automatically converted into in-game currency.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45724829/6b9d0924a1d5be6d368b19567b04200756f814b2.gif\"][/img]

You can spend this currency in the shop on new weapons or lore documents that expand the world of Daisen. When you purchase new weapons, you can easily customize your loadout and build your own playstyle.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45724829/7c2918fcc5831514e2a80d7e0a0ee06320874fd6.gif\"][/img]

Speaking of customization: besides weapons, youll also be able to choose arenas you like. In the future, we plan to add more arenas with updates, giving you fresh experiences to explore.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45724829/90cf098e11f42c913407d46be9996c85104f6995.gif\"][/img]

And of course how can you destroy enemies and rack up points without good music in your headphones? Or maybe your own music? Youll be able to create your own playlist using both the Daisen soundtrack and your personal tracks just drop them into the CustomMusic folder in the game files.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45724829/47e88ed28b1f2ea96e946c954643998e9fe03bf4.gif\"][/img]

Whats the point of pushing your limits if you cant brag about it? Thats why we integrated the Steam leaderboard to spark competition between players. We also want to add a friends-only leaderboard so you can see who among you is the toughest survivor.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45724829/4599eef4ef0e26b87e376a73ed2fc3b9db9926d1.gif\"][/img]

Weapons

When talking about new content, we cant skip the main topic.

Daisen is a shooter first and foremost, so of course were adding new firepower. Two new weapons are joining the arsenal, expanding playstyles and offering more tactical options.

Scarlet

One pistol wasnt enough, so we added a powerful revolver called Scarlet. With 5 shots before overheating, its capable of taking out an enemy with a single bullet.

Tiara

Our love letter to classic shooters. This is a sniper rifle a railgun-style weapon: one shot can pierce several enemies at once. Downsides: only 3 shots before overheating and slower cooldown.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45724829/127cba7415eb6dfe3623b2fe4a3cf69e10e04132.png\"][/img]

Improvements

New content is great, but weve also been polishing whats already there. Here are the key improvements:

• Updated temperature warning system: now it includes both sound and visual indicators, making overheating much easier to manage.

  [/*]

• Bloodstorm will feature difficulty modes, each with its own save data and leaderboards.

  [/*]

• Developer Commentary: if you want to hear our thoughts, enable Developer Commentary in the settings.

  [/*]

• Improved melee punch: works more reliably during jumps and slides, deals more damage, and grants bonus points in Bloodstorm.

  [/*]

• Archangel got a buff to accuracy and damage its much more useful now.

  [/*]

• Weapons in your pocket cool down faster encouraging active piano-style gameplay and smart swap timing.

  [/*]

• Improved Ukrainian and English localizations we want the game to feel comfortable from the very first lines.

  [/*]

Demo

We also updated the Daisen demo, so you can try out some of the improvements right now and share your feedback on the direction were taking.

Conclusion

These are only the main changes youll feel during Early Access. Under the hood, Daisen has received important upgrades aimed at making the experience more stable, dynamic, and exciting.

We sincerely thank everyone whos been waiting for the release and supporting us. We appreciate every player and truly want Daisen to bring you real enjoyment.

Whats New:

• Lumen005 and Ignis006 two brand-new levels of familiar spheres.
