Welcome back! This is the Malody dev team.
During the tremendously fitted development time over the year, we refurbished the whole game client in and out with full-energized graphics using Unity. Our server has also been rebuilt and armored with the newest technology stacks. This combination grants you a whole new level of smooth and slick gameplay experience.
The new game client will not simply be a graphics update. Those blanks of intuitive interactions and useful functionalities from the legacy versions have been filled as a priority.
We did also make our best effort to keep compatibility with the legacy game client:
1. All old chart formats are supported,
2. Rank boards and account data will be kept, and
3. You will eventually be able to play multiplayer with people on legacy game clients.
However, there ARE certain features that we are not confident enough on reviving the full backward compatibility:
1. All skins that only replace images, and
2. Most of the UIS skins.
We believe this would be a serious issue for all of you great players. We cannot imagine how much it would affect everyone’s performance on higher difficulties, as those vital and beloved skins are not available anymore.
So, in order to solve this problem, we decided that the new version of Malody will be a standalone software/app apart from the legacy one. They can exist on your device simultaneously, plus, on PC and Android (below version 11), the new one will read from the chart base of the old one. // Unfortunately, IOS and Android 11+ are out of topic since their storage policy.
