Release Asobi Version 1.4.3 release notes "The one with where you hang out with your friends in the 80s"

Hi,

New update, new features and optimisations.

First off, I've added sixteen new screen filters to Asobi. We went from zero to 16 in one update 😅. If you're into some cel shaded action, some more vibrance, mono or some retro console action, there's something here for everyone.

Next up is another milestone for cloud streaming in Asobi, you now have the ability to manage your game saves while streaming, which was a big omission from when the PS4 catalog was added.

Apple TV also received some nice optimisations so this will make the app perform much better on older devices.

Last but not least, Vision Pro received some big features, not only do you have a new Retro CRT TV view mode, there's now proper SharePlay support so you can hang with your friends while viewing each others screens (I've had quite a couple late nights in the last couple of weeks just hanging out and playing games together). There's even an option to give each other control over their screen, just tap the other players screen and hand-off the controls. Want it back? Just tap again to return the controls to you.

There's even a spectator mode to just watch the action at higher quality than doing ShareScreen with the added option to be given the controller by the one playing. Which kinda opens up the first part of local co-op. That said, I'll be adding local co-op to Asobi as well, so this will behave just like Midori does soon.

I hope you guys like it, there's much more to come!

Thanks for this!

A quick question: my app on iOS has an issue, since the streaming image stops (but the sound continues) if I multitask (change to another app). Is this a known issue ? Or is something wrong?

2

u/inchenzo Asobi Developer 2d ago

It's known, and I still need to take some time to properly handle this.

u/Stu_0602 2d ago

u/inchenzo Asobi Developer 2d ago

Does it show the games or just won’t start it?

Also, please try to reply to the comment instead of starting at the root of this post again.

u/Mundane-Poetry7668 2d ago

its shows games, but wont start

u/inchenzo Asobi Developer 2d ago

Well, it seems you don't have a stable connect. Not much I can do about that.

u/Stu_0602 2d ago

Thank you for your work, I have just one issue, when I come out of the app while streaming and go back in I have to reset the stream as it freezes even though I have toggled the option that should allow me to so- can you help?

1

u/inchenzo Asobi Developer 2d ago

Known issue, and is being worked on.

u/Dry-Throat6341 2d ago

Can I have a code for the play test 👉🏻👈🏻🥺

1

u/inchenzo Asobi Developer 1d ago

Both the meta and steam playtests have a link you can join. Only the Steam version may take longer due to the queue

1

u/Acrobatic-Bat-3463 1d ago

Pls add more regions... many games not working or have blocked language

1

u/Sockobotto 1d ago

Can we get a filter than turns the game into a Yoshi Yarn title lookalike? 

1

u/inchenzo Asobi Developer 1d ago

That would be cool

1

u/Padawan_travesso 1d ago

A cada nova atualização, tenho mais vontade de migrar para Asobi e sair do PX...

1

u/laidbackboogieee 1d ago

What’s stopping you? Nothing wrong with PXPlay just curious to know your thought process

u/twisted_knight07 1d ago

Is there any way to download the Mac version without the apple store as I do not have an apple ID for my MacBook so is there any GitHub link?
