Pandubs: Stream Ascend
A browser game made in HTML5

🎯 What Was Broken?

  • ❌ UI glitches causing inconsistent styles across menus

  • ❌ Broken chat emotes showing as blank or not rendering correctly

  • ❌ Music system delays after selecting a track

  • ❌ "Stream Offline" status not switching cleanly to “LIVE” even after clicking

  • ❌ Some upgrades, locations, and paths appearing too early or not unlocking correctly

  • ❌ Missing visual transitions in the stream area and streamer cam not activating as expected

What Got Fixed

This patch focuses on bringing visual cohesion, audio reliability, and quality-of-life fixes to elevate the experience:

🎨 UI & Visual Consistency

  • 🟣 Fixed stream header not updating to "LIVE" on first click

  • 🟣 Stream cam now activates with proper background after going live

  • 🟣 Updated styles for overlay menus to prevent visual drift across resolutions

  • 🟣 Evolution Path and Location menus are now correctly locked/unlocked per milestone

🎧 Stream Music Reliability

  • 🎶 Fixed issue where music wouldn’t play or took too long to load

  • 🎶 Audio now begins within a few seconds of selection

💬 Chat Emotes & Feedback

  • 😺 Several chat emotes have been re-added or restored

  • New Emotes Added (note: may not work for all users):

    • 🟪 Pandubs Side-Eye

    • 🟪 Shaking My Head Pandubs

    • 🟪 Pandubs Laughing

    • 🟪 Let’s Go Pandubs

    • 🟪 Pandubs Shocked

    • 🟪 W Emote

  • ⚠️ Heads Up: Emote rendering may still vary for some users due to animation or browser limitations. Workarounds are being explored.

📺 Recorded Clips & Log Fixes
