Beta Update: Rebuilt Pick Detection, New Song Complete Screen & Goals
The beta branch jumps from v3.0DD to v3.0T - sixteen versions of work from July 13th to today. Below are the big ones, then everything else grouped by area.

The wait is over. GuitarSesh is here. GuitarSesh is out now in Early Access. After almost five years of programming, three years of playtesting with a guitar in hand, and endless marathons these past months to reach this checkpoint, I'm sharing the build publicly for the first time.

Hi everyone! The Steam store page for SongVisualizer is now live! I've been working hard behind the scenes to optimize the software across different hardware configurations. Windows and Mac builds are ready. Linux support isn't currently planned since I don't have hardware to test with, though I'm open to exploring it if there's strong community interest. What's next: · Limited private alpha te…
