Update 9 - Three New Tracks, Accessibility Pt.2



Welcome to Update 9.

It's taken a bit longer than we had hoped to deliver, but we wanted to do something that wasn't just a colourblind alternative skin for the game. We wanted a feature that anyone could have fun messing with.

On more of the accessibility front, we have added an option to enable a contrasting note style for one of the two main notes, and a corresponding higher-contrast wheel wedge.

Oh, and there's also three new free tracks, bringing our total to 36.

Thanks again for your patience, please read below to see the changes.

UPDATE 9


Three new free tracks brings our total to 36, and our second wave of accessibility features are detailed below.

    FEATURES

  • Three new tracks!
    - Colorblind by Panda Eyes - We just couldn’t resist adding this tune for our custom colours update. It’s loud, furious and full of energy.
    - Mimic by Droptek - This frantic, fast-paced beat will scratch your drum and bass itch while providing a good challenge for more experienced players.
    - Humanity by Max Brohn - Slow and simple, this addictive tune is a great place to start for those looking to get into the higher difficulties of Expert and XD.

  • Accessibility update part 2!
    - Fully customisable note colours! Within the accessibility menu, hit the ‘Colors’ button and go nuts (each note type will have a Hue, Saturation and Lightness slider).
    - High contrast note option (one of the note types and its corresponding wheel wedge will stand out more).
    - Note beams, track lines and track speed are all able to be previewed in the options menu.

  • Custom levels are now able to be separately ranked per difficulty up to a value of 99.

  • A star icon has been added next to STREAK in the HUD. When the star is solid, it shows you are on a PFC run, and when hollow an FC run.


    POLISH

  • Some XD difficulty rating numbers have been adjusted based on Discord user feedback.
  • I See Lite (XD) has been made far less annoying.
  • Believe (XD) moved a single tap note in the sax solo, don’t worry, leaderboards should remain.

  • Flight (Expert) made slightly less annoying.
  • Checkpoint (XD) has been updated.
  • VOLT (XD) has a minor tweak that reset the leaderboard (sorry!)
  • ‘Level Complete’ SFX volume lowered by 20% (this is mapped to “voice” volume, so you can further lower it in audio options if required).
  • Updated French translations (many thanks to Discord user Raoul).
  • Updated Spanish translations (many thanks to Discord user g4).
  • Options menu should have proper translations for 'Unlimited' and 'None' (frame limit / FXAA settings).
  • New backgrounds for the three new tracks.
  • Updated background for Highscore.
  • Fixed artist name for Highscore (reversed the order to Teminite & Panda Eyes).
  • Track speed override now shows values relative to default difficulty level speeds.
  • Options menu sliders will now work when holding left / right on keyboard keys or gamepad.
  • Dropdown menus now work with keyboard arrow controls.


    BUG FIXES

  • Friends leaderboard should no longer show three times with random rankings.
  • Spectrum visualiser (on HUD) will now update to empty when there is no music playing.
  • Scratch zone finisher particles (fireworks) should consistently spawn in the correct location.
  • Pressing “cancel” while binding a mouse button will no longer bind left click.
  • Leaderboards should regularly refresh with new player submissions.
  • When completing a level and returning to level select, leaderboards should properly display.
  • Streak / rank should no longer be broken on custom songs list.
