Any updates about planned features?
We have a huge list of new features and changes we plan to make. Festivals, awards, and sponsors. The list goes on and on. Right now while Panos is still away I am focusing on improving the game's quality of life. You'll see that in this update with the changes made to gig performances. We want to reach out to more people as we go so are also focused on talking to you (the community).
Don't feel shy and know that we encourage you to make yourself heard!
And with that, I present to you the long awaited changelog!
Changelog 1.1.4.0
Rhythm Gameplay
- There is now an audience that cheers louder depending on how well you perform, currently independent of audience size (we can't afford to hire tons of people to shout for us in a courtyard for an hour)
- If you miss notes during a performance, the audio track you are playing will mute until you hit another note
- Rhythm delay calibration option enabled
Optimizations
- Band member and band songs pages have been cleaned up to improve their FPS and reduce file IO
- Outlined text is now rendered more efficiently
- Optimized the main hub screen excessively, gaining around 500+ potential fps
- Removed a compatibility script "string_hash_to_newline()" from a few scripts to improve performance (hundreds more left to remove)
Minor Changes
- Changed song writing action to allow for separate message queues if multiple songs are being produced at once
- Current date is now shown on calendar
- Event names are displayed once more when hovered over with the mouse
Bug fixes
- Fixed song rehearsal experience bug, if band member is writing song, they get 10% rehearsal experience in any song completed
- Fixed a serious memory leak with performances, both the fretboard surface and the fretboard sprite list were left in memory
- Can no longer book gigs for dates before the current date
- Fixed max instrument skill causes skill pop-ups to be cancelled for that character
- Video clips and rehearsals were displaying the wrong skill icons from gained XP
- Fixed various crashes with the "User Only" music player
