Rocking Legend News

Hello to all the VR rock stars!
We are happy to announce we just released a new update about gameplay improvements and requested features!

We now support hammerable/slidable notes for all the 3 playstyles: if you have a rapid succession of notes, you can optionally pick over the first one and hammer or slide on the others without the need of picking over the other glowing ones:



we also made left handed support ready for physical controller playstyle (the other 2 playstyles already supported that):



made some rendering and clarity improvements, expecially about text:



we also made a number of others highly requested improments such as better guitar positioning for physical controller playstyle and some other QOL fixes as you can read from the list below.

Here is the complete changelist:
- hammer-ons/slides overhaul, they are now also graphically distinguishable from normal notes
- note hit detection improvements
- miss symbol UI won't be hidden by the next good score
- note rendering improvements/optimizations
- improvements to gfx clearness and text readability
- simpler/better guitar positioning when using a physical controller
- guitar play sound FXs also when using a physical controller
- minor loading times improvement
- avoid checking for custom songs to reimport every time player enters into the menu scene
- fix for a case of import crash
- left-handed support for physical controller
- Song selection returns to last played song returning from game to menu
- Player's entry is now highlighted in leaderboard results

For the next update we are planning to add another virtual monitor in the menu in order to have some space for having gameplay customizability options! We want our users to have fun with the options and to customize the experience as they like. More about this later on... follow us on steam and or on socials!

Hello to all the VR rock stars!

We wanted to inform you that starting today our game will have a new name: Rocking Legend.

We want to give the game a better identity, as well as avoiding any confusion with other brands.

We also take advantage of this news to share with you that we are strongly working on the next update aimed to improve the gameplay experience based on the user feedback we received and our internal playtesting.
Stay tuned for the next update, we'll also have hammerons/slides overhaul and some tweakings to the graphic and the menus.

NOTICE:
if you previously created/installed some custom songs, you'll still find your files in the old "RockingHero_Data" folder at your installation path (.../Steam/steamapps/common/Rocking Hero/RockingHero_Data).
If you don't want to reimport from scratch, or if you prefer, you can copy what you need from there to the new RockingLegend_Data folder.

You could also delete the old RockingHero_Data folder since the game don't use that anymore.

Hello to all VR guitarists!

It's time for a new update! We are happy to announce that from today the importing custom chart maps will also automatically generate levels for Hand mode. Just import a .chart or .mid map and levels will be created automatically for Hand playstyle too, so even users who don't have an index or a physical controller can play custom chart maps easily.

Listening to user feedbacks, we also made other small corrections to the quality of the experience, a timer has been added in the game scene that allows you to understand how far you have gotten while playing a level.

Another small correction has been made in the song selection menu, if you are using a physical controller you can now scroll through the song list by holding down the up/down button.

1- Chart maps generates level in Hand playstyle mode.

2- Timer in game scene.

3- Scroll song list by holding down the up/down directional button.

4- Fix for a case of inport failure in case of multiple mid/chart found in the same source folder.

5- Improvements to strum detection for plectrum/pick.

In the near future there will also be a search bar that allows you to filter and select songs more comfortably.
Soon we will also publish a road map for future updates!

Small update in order to address to some reported issues in the custom songs import process:

- Fix for multitrack songs with a preview file
- Fix for "slowed down" audio clips
- Fix for multitrack songs where you could only hear a single instrument after the import

If you had some issues before, try to reimport after the update.

Hello to all VR guitarists!

With this new update we are pleased to announce the MID format compatibility! The CHART format compatibility has been improved and expanded to include multitrack songs and other fixes. In addition to this we have also made some tweaks to the gameplay following some feedback that we have received, here below you can find the complete list.

1- MID compatibility.

2- Multitrack songs compatibility.

3 - Playing notes while still holding a long note won't give error anymore.

4- Release previously still playing note if a new attach event occurs on the same lane.

For the next update we are looking into open and hammering notes and an automatic way to export hand maps from custom charts by replacing chords with single notes.

Cheers!
