Bside Early Access is Live!

[p][/p][p]Hey everyone 👻[/p][p][/p][p]Bside has officially entered Early Access![/p][p][/p][p]Bside has always been a community-driven project. In the Demo stage, we laid the foundation for Biibits including their looks, personalities, memories, and a few companion features. Starting from the Early Access version, we’ll keep expanding co-experiences between Biibits and introduce even more ways & platforms to play! Early Access might last for quite a while, as the world of Biibits will keep evolving, and we hope to make it richer together with all of you in the community.[/p][p][/p][p]With this update, we’re introducing a new in-game currency Diamonds, used to unlock premium outfits and items. Coins remain your go-to currency for standard customization options.[/p][p][/p][p]Other updates include: [/p]
  • [p]🎃 A large batch of new Halloween outfits (including three premium outfit sets) [/p]
  • [p]💬 Chat and social experience improvements: smoother messaging, fixed bugs, and better interactions[/p]

Bside Update 1013 | Release Notes

[p]Hey everyone! This update’s all about smoothing things out and polishing the small stuff. Here’s what’s new.[/p]
  • [p]💬 Better chat vibes: Chats now sort by recent messages, layouts are cleaner, and there’s a new “PROFILE” button, so you can check someone’s profile right from your chat. You can also copy messages now, both from friends and Biibits.[/p]
  • [p]🎂 Bio updates: Birthdays can now be edited once a year, and the tag selection panel got a fresh new look with more tags to express your Biibit’s vibe.[/p]
  • [p]🐾 Biibits behave better: Fixed an issue where they sometimes wandered off-screen. Their relationship growth also feels more natural, slower and smoother, just like real friendships.[/p]
  • [p]🛍️ Store & Appearance updates: After buying something, you’ll now stay where you were instead of bouncing back to the top. The Avatar section in Appearance is now more noticeable.[/p]
  • [p]💭 Moments improvements: Moments now load in reverse order for a smoother browsing experience, no more flicker or flashing when scrolling through updates. The “dislike” icon also got simplified: it now just toggles on/off (no more numbers).[/p]
  • [p]✨ Other small improvements: Biibits will now auto-greet new friends, and overall keyboard shortcuts are now better tuned for PC, making everything feel a bit smoother.[/p]
[p]Last but not least, Next Fest is just around the corner! Bring your friends and discover Bside together! See you and your Biibit in-game!💖[/p][p]Bside Dev Team[/p]
