Melody Friends Demo · published · build 22531184
Easy ~ Hard — Reduced note count and tuned the rhythm to feel a lot more natural 🎯
Expert — Removed unnecessary notes triggered by quiet sounds, and cleaned up overlapping consecutive notes 🔥
This is the heart of the update! We made massive improvements to how music is analyzed and turned into notes ⚙️
Auto Density Control by Section — The game analyzes a song's energy and places fewer notes during quiet sections (like intros) and more during choruses and drops
Beat Grid Snapping — Note timing is automatically aligned to a BPM-based grid, making everything feel way more on-beat
Weak Sound Filtering — Notes that were being generated from faint sounds or background noise are now filtered out based on intensity
Burst Auto-Align — Short rapid-fire note sequences are redistributed evenly across BPM subdivision grids so they feel much better to play
Gap Fill — When there's a long stretch with no notes, beat positions are used to fill it in naturally
Right before the chorus hits, we intentionally pull back on the notes a little!
This makes the moment the chorus explodes feel way more dramatic and exciting 🎉
A wide variety of new achievements have been added for all kinds of play styles 🎖️
Silver Medal Hunter / Gold Medal Hunter — Collectible achievements that unlock as you earn All Combo and All Perfect medals across the built-in song list 🥈🥇
The result stamps have been redesigned, and achieving All Perfect now shows a dedicated stamp ✨
(There might also be a hidden stamp you can only see with a very low chance...)
Fixed an issue where some song category filters were displaying incorrectly
Built-in song button tooltips now show how many medals you've earned per song type 🏅
Fixed an issue where the note count shown in the difficulty selection screen didn't match the actual number of notes
Fixed an issue where difficulty star ratings weren't accurately reflecting the actual difficulty
Adjusted the Strength values of gap-fill notes in quiet sections so Auto Play performs them more naturally
Try using custom songs with a strong, clear beat! You'll get a much more exciting and immersive experience 🎧
💬 Songs that are mostly vocal-driven with little to no backing beat still don't generate perfect notes just yet. We'll keep working on it!
After this update, Expert difficulty notes are going to be sooo much better than before — Wina guarantees it 😤✨
Over 1,000 lines of new source code went into these note generation improvements.
Wina is chugging energy drinks and going all-in to keep making better and better notes for you 🥤💪
We finally hit 1 follower on X (Twitter)!! 🎉
Who knew promoting on social media was this hard...? Still figuring it out 😅
Please tell your friends about Melody Friends...! Seriously, you're the reason we keep going 🙏💕
