Alright, it's time for one more...
I hope you were looking forward to this one.

Our last Development Report was a baffling 4 months ago... Wow, time flies way too fast. But that's not what I'm here to talk about!

Back then I had established the scope and features PLASM FUNKIN' had to offer in a explicit and straight-forward manner, without showing too much (neither too little)

Today, we'll be going over what exactly has been finished for PLASM FUNKIN's Spotlight Update and that the release date might be coming sooner than later...

PLASM FUNKIN' CUSTOM MENUS

With the help of an awesome coder, Bima, progress with the visual workload of the mod has been flawless. That resulted in the good chunk of slow progress we've had before getting out of our way.

As mentioned in previous Development Reports, PLASM FUNKIN' is a full-feature mod which contains custom menus for practically all parts of the game. All the design of those menus were solely planned by me with minor interventions from coders.

For the people who have been caught up so far this section might seem redundant, however, it is important to understand the significance of all these screenshots being in-game, rather than mockups to demonstrate what might be in it.

Talking about screenshots...

PLASM FUNKIN' QOL FEATURES

This mod has minor features that make your experience just a tad easier to deal with. All these features are explicitly told to you upfront as soon as you boot up the game.

They are, for example: Key toggle for FPS Counter, In-Game Screenshot key and the change of fullscreen with F11 rather than ALT + ENTER.

You can find a visual demonstration of this on our twitter.

Since there's custom menus for everything, when pausing you usually get a lot of assets and information in your screen...

and for that reason I decided to personally add a feature that hides everything in your screen except for the greyscale paused gameplay in the background. Great for looking at what's going or taking screenshots.

Okay, but what about GAMEPLAY??

It's going great, all camera events for the 9 new songs are done. The Coding and Art Department is currently finishing tiny details which are just the cherry on top of what's already here.

Adding to the topic of gameplay and song events, I've internally gathered playtesters to ensure the mod works fine, which means bugs will be minimal if any when the game actually releases.

All of this means Development Team is slowly coming to a halt, and a few members (alongside myself) are working to get the promotional content and visualizers ready!

PLASM FUNKIN' will be released alongside it's visualizers, and hopefully the songs release shortly after that.

As always... I don't have a release date yet, but I'm sure it'll be this year.
