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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
