Your Newest Idol Takes the Stage Tuesday, September 29th

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Hey Disco Crew! The Summer Flames Tour has been on one heck of a run, and we’re not slowing down. More than 500,000 of you have joined the floor so far, and you keep showing up, racking up the combos, and making every stage your own. How do we top all of that? By throwing something at you that hits harder than anything you’ve seen yet. Our biggest update is on the way, and it’s built around a brand new Idol. It’s the most stylish, most demanding showdown we’ve ever put in front of Charlie. And this time, we’re not keeping her in the dark. Your newest idol is…almost got us there. We’re holding her name back for the full reveal, so for now, take a good look at these clues we’ve been dropping. She’s a natural-born star, all elegance and easy confidence up front, but a serious danger once the music starts. She looks glamorous but will dance circles around you (and makes it look effortless). …

Ведущий аниматор Dead as Disco назвал встроенные инструменты Unreal Engine незрелыми для создания боевых сцен

Sat, 19 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Маркетинговые заявления создателей Unreal Engine о превращении движка в универсальный инструмент для полного цикла разработки продолжают разбиваться о реальный опыт специалистов. Ведущий аниматор ритмического боевика Dead as Disco Джонатан Колин, ранее работавший в стенах Guerrilla Games над Horizon Zero Dawn и в студии Counterplay Games над слэшером Godfall, скептически отозвался о встроенном инструментарии для создания персонажных движений. По его словам, редактор движка от Epic Games до сих пор остается слишком сырым для полноценного производства сложной боевой хореографии. В ходе профессионального интервью разработчик подчеркнул, что студия Brain Jar Games использует движок Unreal Engine преимущественно на финальных стадиях сборки проекта. В самом движке команда настраивает исключительно перемещения виртуальной камеры через секвенсор для кинематографических добиваний, тогда как пряму…

[Patch Notes] - 16 June Update

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Hey Disco Crew! June (but released in July!) Hotfix #3 - To help address a rare issue where players are reporting lost saves, we have started keeping backup saves at: %localappdata% -> Pagoda -> Saved -> SaveGamesBackup. Find the save you want and then remove the “-backup-x” to overwrite the save with the backup of your choice. We’ll post more detailed instructions on our Discord for anyone that needs it. We are still looking into the root cause of this issue - Fixed a crash related to having a playlist with multiple My Music songs that no longer exist - Fixed some crashes related to specific mods June Hotfix #2 - Hopeful fix for an issue that would cause players to fly into the air after the bridge crumble transition in Dex’s level (RIP super flight) - Arena Swap - Changed the swap to be instant, as the wipe outwards was causing some unintended issues. So the instant swap should be bett…
