Patch Notes 2.13

Much of this was meant to release earlier this month, so this one got pretty big.

There will be bugs:

CHANGES 18 changes

• Improved coin & diamond animations
• Improved UI performance & severely reduced render cost
• New UI animations for shop, upgrades & items
• Feature: Shibe helpers now pick up nearby dropped coins
• Feature: The me-in-a-portal (Doge Rick) now jumps out of the portal and starts boosting nearby helpers!
  • Sometimes he doesn’t want to help (9/10 helpful)
  • Hint: You can grab him when you see the portal open
  • Move him closer to your strongest helpers for best effect
• Also increased Doge Rick portals (and fixed a bug that sometimes blocked them)
• Made the left stage larger and the right stage smaller (perfectly imbalanced)
• You no longer manually place helpers from the shop (very nice)
• New ingame Patch Notes panel (click the little version thing (also in settings))
• New upgrade-indicator pill (finally)
• Bonus coins are again unlocked by progress, bonuses now accurately start at 50%/60sec
• Reduced amount of NewsDoge reports + small edits to existing news
• Updated the canvas to a perfect 16:9 (it was annoying me)
• Smarter particle emitters for more improved performance
• Removed all tutorial hint arrows completely
• Removed most hints
• Removed right-side ad rail for more room
• Improved edge detection for helpers (stay! sit! no!! not like that!!)

Mobile 6 changes

• Rotate your phone or tablet and the game reloads the appropriate layout (~2s grace period)
• Vastly improved device detection and layout logic (needs feedback)
• Complete rewrite of pan/swipe functions on touch devices (smoother swipes all day!!)
• “Group helpers” is no longer the default on phone (like the other layouts)
• Moved the NewsDoge feed down into an empty gap below the coins & dps (phone layout)

• Fixed music sometimes playing if it was disabled before game start

• Fixed upgrade notification landing on the wrong slot on tablet/phone
• Fixed travel/location not being clickable on some phone dimensions
