A first look at 1BitDragon V5. 👀

V5 will be a free update for all 1BitDragon users when it launches this summer.

Last chance: the Steam Summer Sale ends tomorrow!

Thanks! V5 includes some ideas inspired by the Web App, but not all of its features. They are two separate projects, and web App projects won’t be compatible with V5, so they can’t be opened directly in the desktop version.

1BitDragon has a refreshed look - and a message that says exactly what it’s here for.

This is just the beginning of what I’m preparing for version 5 this summer.

Know a game developer who isn’t a musician? Share this with them.

1BITDRAGON 5 lands this summer. Bigger, better, and still ridiculously fun.

That’s a very good idea, thank you.
I hadn’t thought about this approach. I’ll definitely look into it.

❤️❤️❤️

Sorry, no, that's not possible.

Fantastic! Can you add a credit in "Made with Aseprite, Tiled, Bfxr, Phaser, Adobe Photoshop, Audacity"?

It will be a completely different software. I was hoping to release it by the end of summer, but there are still too many things to finish. I'll let you know here so you'll be the first to test it.

Thanks for your feedback!

I'll think about it, but I don't think it's possible, sorry about that.

Hello! No, sorry, that's not planned at the moment.

This is a very good idea, but for now, sorry, it is not planned.

Yes, that's a really good idea, and I totally agree it would be super cool to be able to do that. I'm seriously thinking about it.

👍

Ok, thanks for the feedback!

How would you like to be able to add other instruments? By importing a .wav file? By purchasing an additional sound library? By creating a new sound yourself by tweaking synthesizer parameters?

Yes, I agree. There is a completely revamped 1BitDragon ("1BitDragon Megablast") that will be released in 2025, and I'm currently testing the possibility of importing custom sounds.

Whisky is a free and easy-to-use macOS program that focuses specifically on running Windows games:  https://getwhisky.app

Yes, I agree. A completely revamped version of 1BitDragon, called "1BitDragon Megablast" will be released in 2025, and it will allow users to create 3/4 or 4/4 time signature songs.

Sorry you're running into this. Unfortunately, even if it works on M1, it hasn't been tested on M3 and it doesn't seem to work, you need to go through Whisky. Can other Mac users confirm?

Thank you for your input.

Yes, MIDI controllers are not supported.

Sorry about that.
Normally the Unity engine I use for 1bit is compatible with the Macbook Air 2019 Intel i5. Does anyone else around here have this type of machine?

Thanks for the feedback.

No sorry.

Sorry, this has never been tested with a touch screen.

Sorry for the late reply, are you still having this problem?

Yes : https://discord.gg/DXK8qhyxsq

On a TV? Interesting! Is it connected to a PC?

Sorry, this is not planned at the moment.

For macOS users: when you double-click on the application, you'll notice that it doesn't open. This is because macOS has blocked the app from running. Since this app came from the internet, macOS assumes it is not safe and automatically cancels opening the app. To bypass this, ctrl-click (or right-click) the app icon in the Finder, choose Open, and confirm.
