DOUBLE ACTION FAQ

[danbo]

What is DOUBLE ACTION?
BLUE REVOLVER DOUBLE ACTION is a large-scale, free update to our game. We wanted people to have the best possible version of our game, and didn't want to put such an upgrade behind DLC etc. There's rebalancing, extra weapons/content, new features and options, and more.

You can see a full, extremely exhaustive changelog here: https://danboland.net/DA_FINAL_CHANGES.html

Can I play the old 1.12 version?
Absolutely. It's available as a beta branch in the game's properties in your Steam library -- look for the "1.12" branch. 1.12 and DA use different save/config files. Obviously, we don't support 1.12 going forward.

I have an Intel-based Mac and some things are disabled
Due to an issue with our Steam integration library, we've had to disable Steam integration on Intel-based Macs. This means achievements and leaderboards. I don't have one of these machines so there's not much I can do about this right now.

I use an old/atypical controller and the game doesn't recognise it
We use a new gamepad API in this version. Use "-legacycontroller" as a launch option to use the old API. The input prompts may no longer be accurate, but it should be playable.

I'm having trouble with the break bonuses.
There's an in-game video guide, but obviously that's not a perfect solution. I've created a text guide here: https://danboland.net/brda-break-guide.html

I played the public beta, what's new in this final version?

I'm a deals enthusiast?
It is extremely unlikely that this game will drop below 50% off. We don't believe niche games mix with deep discounts -- we've had to work hard for our "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating, and that would be threatened by a bunch of randoms getting the game for pennies and not understanding it on its own terms.

Thanks for the update! How can we support you?
There's plenty of work behind this update, but it's free because we didn't want to lock these improvements behind DLC. Feel free to consider:

• Buying a gift copy for a friend
  
• Leaving a Steam user review -- we've cleared the Overwhelmingly Positive threshold now! Thank you!

What's next?
Further content updates for BRDA are extremely unlikely. We will hotfix critical issues if they arise. Most of the team, myself included, are going to be working on new things, so look forward to those!

- Is there a way to revert to the old OST? I think it had a cleaner sound.
- The game feels a lot easier (at least on Hyper)
- Honestly, I think the screen is way too cluttered, now. The old aesthetic was very simple and straightforward.
- I like the updated graphics and bomb timing.

You can swap between the updated and old OST for each stage on the menu!

as noted, the soundtrack can be changed in the options menu. the new gadgets can be turned off. hyper is intended to be somewhat easier than 1.12

Thank you for this info. I was going to switch back, but hearing that a lot of the UI can be changed, along with the music being able to be changed, helps a lot. Thank you.

Also, I like the third character (Val was best, but I don't care for her new shot type as much, but that's just me).

Another very circumstantial bug with Perfect bonuses (temporary link, also very loud for some reason)
The midboss dies before HOUDINI finishes queuing. The base pattern bonus gets awarded when the midboss dies, but the pattern never ends, so the Perfect is never awarded and the pattern title sticks around until the next midboss overwrites it.

thanks for the report!

Danbo, I tired buying BR for a few people and it only worked once out of all of them. I keep getting a regional pricing error. Is there something wrong with Canada's price? Oh well it can wait, what can't is:
