NEW SONGS

CV35W's "Heated Battle! ~ Disco Bakery" has been added to the Challenge atom.

Grab your favorite sheet pan and jam out to the bass with a disco-inspired song! Also, get in the oven.

"yeah this song is from like five years ago lmao" -CV35W

qfeileadh's "Recollection (ft. Risa Kodaka)" from The Gambit Lost to Time has been added to the Collab atom.

A fantastical piece that persists across loop after loop. In the chaos of war among three different factions, can you break the cycle?

Thanks to WizDream Games, the devs of the upcoming tactical RPG The Gambit Lost to Time, for letting us use their song in the Collab Atom! They also have two mobile rhythm games in the form of Circle of Sparks & SparkLine. Give them a spin, and try out The Gambit Lost to Time's demo once it releases July 16th!

THE PATCH NOTES

Update 1.7.0 - Rising Tension

Main game:

  • NEW LEVELS: "Heated Battle! ~ Disco Bakery" by CV35W, and "Recollection (ft. Risa Kodaka)" by qfeileadh

  • Chef hat costume now requires an A rank or higher on "Heated Battle! ~ Disco Bakery"

  • We've added the performance fixes from the beta-public branch into the default branch. The changes from this branch should greatly improve the performance of decoration-heavy levels.

Other:

  • Deco ID syntax now works with text decorations as well

  • Added notosans font

  • Made dithering for decos more consistent. If the old behavior is preferred, the boolean vfx.oldDitherLogic can be set to true. Existing levels that use dithering already have this boolean applied as part of a format upgrade (19 -> 20)

  • Added "Ignore radius" and "Bob multiplier" options to hats in custom costumes. These options and their defaults should work better on levels like Spin Cycle that change the size of the player.

  • Fixed some bugs with RTF escape characters

THE OTHER STUFF

New options menu, arriving soon!

This feature will be included in a minor patch following this update, including a slew of other bugfixes (including the longstanding Intel Mac incompatibility issue. Sorry it took so long to get to this!)

With that said, take a look at the revamped options menu!

We've changed it from a free-floating chunk of text to a more user-friendly format, including more easily adjustable settings and explanation text for the advanced features that might be confusing. Whether you're tweaking hit leniency to be more or want to bump up the volume, we hope this new format serves you all well! And as always: if you find bugs, please report them on our Github tracker so the team can keep an eye on it!

FINAL NOTES

Summer's in full swing now! Make sure to stay hydrated, whether you're hiding from the heat indoors or outside touching grass. We hope you enjoy this month's songs, and we'll keep working on both new song updates & features as we make the trek to 2.0. Happy Beatblocking!
