Field update

Faster to the fight

dWars v0.3.9 · 9 June 2026

Less to download before the menu appears, and the map streams in while you're reading the brief.

Changed

First-visit download is ~22% lighter — the home screen reaches you sooner. The map textures and brief-screen art that used to ride along in the initial download now stream in on demand, while you're reading the level brief.
Combat audio debug overlay no longer appears mid-battle.

Fixed

Level brief and reward page backgrounds reliably display the painted artwork for Burwood Girls, Ashfield Park, Greenway, Summer Hill, and Marrickville — the new streaming pipeline replaces the in-place reference that was occasionally blank.

Known issues

Desktop only for now — mouse and keyboard are required.
The very first level brief after launch can hold for an extra second while the briefing pack downloads. Subsequent levels are instant.

Drop in lighter. Same fight, faster start. — Elle
