Hey Everyone,

Hey siblings! We’re back with a small but highly requested update for My Desktop Sister 💻💕

A lot of you have asked for more control over when your sister appears on top of other applications. Some of you want her to always be visible, while some want her to politely stay in the background when you’re busy... so we’re giving you the choice!

• Added a “Stay on Top” toggle option in the settings menu, allowing you to choose whether your sister stays on top of other applications or not.

• We’re aware of some cases where audio lines don’t play correctly or get stuck. This is already under investigation, and we’re working on a fix.

We are also working on allowing you to click directly on your sister to interact, so you won’t have to open the menu every time you want to pet her or give her attention.

We’ll keep working on improving your experience with My Desktop Sister, so keep sending your feedback our way!
More updates and new content coming soon 💕

Hey hey! ːsteamhappyː

This Update contains:

• New Level "Dim" -> Let's play some Hide & Seek!

Thanks again for in-game feedback! ːsteamhappyː

Have fun!

Patch Notes August 4th

Avoidance and the Sniper

Heyo, it's me, iStead again. Another two weeks have passed and so we got another patch to drop for you guys. With much further ado, here's the goods.

**Game Changes**

New Enemy! The Sniper!

Added in a new enemy with long range. he loves to sit back and wait until he has the perfect shot on you. What comes next is a fast moving bullet that's hard to dodge, so best to stay out of his vision.

Avoidance

Enemies will now avoid and spread out from each other when they get too close. This reduces what we dubbed "Conga Lining", which was especially noticeable when they would take corners:

Before:


After:

Shield Regen

Added in a shield that will regen after several seconds of not getting hit. The hope with this is that you'll be able to take more engagements without camping to preserve your health. We increased the damage on the enemies to compensate for the increased tankiness of the player. Note that the Coat does not have this shield, so you'll still need to take fights wisely to preserve your mech for as long as possible.

Melee Sounds

Added in sounds for melee weapons that now go whoosh.

Carris Poison

Added in a perk for Carris Weapons such as the "Hornet", now after hitting 4 consecutive shots on one enemy they will become poisoned for several seconds.

**Visual Changes**

Mech Armor Icons

Added in icons for the Coat armor, visible in the loadout and equip menus.

Hand Placements

Updated hand placements for weapons so the weapons don't phase through their hands anymore, we figured that was a little painful.

Floor 2 Room Adjustments

Updated some of the floor 2 rooms to have additional objects in them, should make more fun shooting arenas in there now.

Elevator Room Change

Updated the elevator rooms to be in line with the new visuals of The Anomaly. Also it's clearer now that it's an elevator rather.

Mech Charge Bars

Added charge bars next to the crosshair that go up as you hold the charge button down and change color to indicate when they're ready to fire.

Enemy Strafing Animations

Added enemy strafing animations for when they move by avoidance.

Buttom Prompts UI

Added in some UI that makes it a bit clearer what buttons to press to perform several functions. These buttons are for: Summoning the Coat, using the Coat's shoulder weapons, and switching from gun to melee.

**Additional Changes**

Bugfixes (Brought to you by Peaches)

-Updated expired link to our playtest Discord server

-Removed the unintended ability to "prop open" locked doors by leaving the mech in the doorway, potentially causing a softlock. Now the Coat will recall if it's below a door when it locks.

-Fixed boarding your Coat in a doorway sometimes locking the door prematurely

-Fixed a crash caused by returning to the main menu while standing under a door

-Fixed jumpy animation when dashing twice in rapid succession

-Fixed new player's default gear not matching what starts unlocked

-Fixed the current run's drops and kill counts not resetting when restarting a run

Summer Cleaning

Cleaned up a good deal of bloated files that were clogging up the drains.

Balancing

Tweaked Homing Rockets to be faster over time

Reduced recoil and spread on Drake

Adjusted Tideblade base stats

• Increased max hp from 140 to 160

• Lowered speed from 21 to 14

• Lowered damage from 57 to 35

• Raised armor from 7 to 20

Adjusted Stoneguard

• Lowered armor gained from 20 to 15

Increased all stat runes base values by 2-3 times, except for speed

Fixed some spelling issues on passives

• Fixed an issue where the UI would disappear after skipping a week.

• Fixed a bug where the "Key Card" quest dialog would repeatedly trigger.

• Fixed an issue where Polaroid and Spy Camera items were not marked as “Sold Out” after being purchased and restarting the game.

• Corrected the button icon in laptop text from "FanOnly" to "FNZone" to stay on the safe side regarding copyright..

• Fixed an issue during the "Night Protein" quest that caused the men's bathroom door and item to disappear.

• Fixed an issue in "Talk to Flex" where Toshi’s image would freeze and not display properly.

• Fixed an issue where Emilia’s chair at the bar was missing.
