Dulcet Games

Dramatically improved loading times for all pages
You can switch between pages & games without reloading the entire page every time
Improved the game experience: smoother animations, improved look & feel
Fullscreen mode while playing chapters!

Updated the entire site to be more reactive; more updates will follow
Tons of bug fixes

Translation Crowdsourcing: If you are bilingual, you can translate chapters for others to enjoy!
Profile Page: Here, you can change your profile avatar and cover background as well edit your bio and follow other players!
Website Translation: We are currently translating the website, one page at a time, one language at a time. We started french (because the development team speaks french), and once the entire website is translated, we'll translate to other languages as well. Hurray!
Avatar Page: Every game has their custom Avatar page, where you can change some of your attributes such as your in-game name.
Side Stories: Some authors want to release additional content for their games; you will have access to them on the chapters page, in the "Side Stories" tab.

Fixed the blurred/pixelated image of the main character sprite.

Added a loader for the game engine.

Fixed an issue in the Game Engine related to the highest infinity for Sweet Elite
Improved loading speed of chapters

Lore Items: Writers can now add lore items to their chapters.
Lore items are stories or knowledge which contribute to worldbuilding
Lore items can be unlocked just like achievements and illustrations, as you play the chapters.

Improved the conversion process. It is now faster and executes well even for low internet speeds
The dashboard has a new look! Unfortunately, we had to remove the avatar for it, but we think it's for the best. If you're feeling nostalgic already, you can see your avatar in-game and in the clothes store.
Improved error handling when the game crashes

Cute popups when currencies are updated
Improved Release notes (previous & next)

Currencies now save properly even when the servers are overloaded

Release notes
About Page
Diamonds (Premium currency)
Keys (to play chapters)
New game-specific currencies (Arlington Coins & Crimsons)

Removed confusing tabs in the "Series" page
Improved vertical menu bar
Improved Game Maker: Backgrounds & hashing

Purpose: goal is to introduce a way for paying players to receive more value in every game if they are willing to pay. Instead of removing features and make them paying, we're focusing on adding new features and greater value in exchange for diamonds.

Usage: Buy premium stuff. For the moment, they can only be used to convert to Keys and In-Game Currencies. However, we're going to add new usages for Diamonds as soon as we can.

How to obtain: purchase with real money.

They are ONLY a premium currency. We allowed you to convert your old coins to diamonds as a gift for being a loyal player. We felt generous :P
Since there's a ton of new games coming out in the next year, we're planning on adding a monthly subscription in a few months. Although don't take our word for it, because we have no idea when it's going to come out.
We're also planning to add "power-ups" to the game, which are game-breaking features for those interested in skipping scenes and such. If you have ideas for those, please tell us because we have smoll brains.
We're thinking about a way to enable playing chapters before they come out using diamonds, so that's that. Although again, we have no idea when that's coming out either.

Purpose: Unlock things on the website. Free currency given daily by claiming your daily gift.

Usages: Just like Diamonds, there aren't many usages for keys at the moment. They are only used to purchase chapters.

How to obtain: Receive from the daily gift, or exchange diamonds for keys.

You can claim up to 5 free keys every day with the daily gift
Chapters have a default cost of 150 keys, although over time this will fluctuate based on how long the chapter is and how many illustrations are in the chapter
We're planning on adding a lot of items which might be purchasable with keys or simply free

For the moment, these numbers will stay as they are. Over the medium term, these numbers will fluctuate. Right now you can receive a maximum of 5 keys per day, which means a chapter costing 150 keys takes 30 days to accumulate. We are aware of that. We are also aware that currently, there are less than one chapter released per month, so you are fine at the moment. The more chapters come out every month, the more prices will fluctuate

REMEMBER: Our goal is to make sure it stays fair to play for free and deliver extra value for paying players. We're monitoring the data very closely to make sure it stays fair

for simplicity, let's call them "coins" until the end of this message.

Purpose: Allow writers to control their in-game currency in a game-like manner. Just like in every RPG you can have different currencies ("coins", "gold", "energy", "souls", etc.), we felt like we had to enable this mechanic for every game.

Usage: For now, you can only purchase clothes in the clothes store

How to obtain: writers will give "coins" to you when it makes sense in the story (remember, it's a game mechanic). If the writers want to allow you to get ahead in their game, they will also enable you to exchange diamonds for "coins".

Eventually:

The writers can add/remove "coins" in-game. This is interesting, because just like in an RPG, you can receive "coins" after completing a quest. You can also purchase quest items with your "coins", which opens a whole new world of possibilities.
We're brainstorming the possiblity of having multiple currencies in a single game. Again, it's mostly to create a game-specific feeling, for immersion purposes
