Hello, VR rockstars!

In this update, we add a different playing style for the drums, allowing you to play with the bass drum.



To play the kick drum, you could bind a USB pedal (like one of those that emulates keyboard keystrokes) to a button to play the kick, or you can also use a VR controller's button.



Numerous other changes have been made to this version. Such as the ability to use the guitar pick by pressing a button on the VR controller, or some graphical and usability improvements.

For example, we have also replaced the text tutorials in the menu with small, more accessible and explanatory videos.



Finally, we have included several fixes and balance improvements to enhance the overall experience.

Below is a brief summary of the main changes:
- Playable kick drum
- Kick notes for OST levels and custom songs
- Guitar strummable via VR controller buttons (re-assignable via SteamVR controller settings)
- Text tutorials replaced by videos
- The order of the in-line mode circles will reflect the related drum piece positions
- Fixed light rings of the drums could get stuck lit
- Fixed controller activation issues for drums
- Fixed animation desynchronization with low framerates
- Other minor fixes and graphical adjustments
- Fixed import progress bar graphically stuck at 75% while importing custom songs.

Hello, VR rockstars!

With this update, we are introducing several improvements and the "Campaign Mode" for the drums as well. Just like with the guitar one, each level you pass will allow you to improve your drumming skills and reward you with the unlocking of unique skins!



Numerous additions and improvements have been made to the virtual drum kit:

You can move the drum pieces around, and their positions will be automatically saved, and subsequently reloaded each time the game is started.



Just in case, we have also added a reset button, so you can always restore the original positions.

Following your feedback, we added the option to display notes "in line" instead of "on pieces".



You can also change the virtual drum set display to an "invisible" mode, which for some of you may allow you to better visualize the overlap between the note and its drum piece.



We've also made additional fixes and improvements, most notably an issue regarding detecting the timing/accuracy with which the player hits drum notes.

The controller customisation menu has been moved to the mode selection screen, and it should now be possible to use a physical controller for playing the drums as well.

Finally, to make sure nothing is missing in this update, we've also included a new OST entitled "Rise of the djentlemen", with related unlockable skins and levels for drums and guitar




Below is a brief summary of the update:
- Drum Campaign
- Drum skins
- In-line and on-piece options for drum notes
- Option to hide drum models
- 15th OST: Rise of the djentlemen
- Drum piece placement is now saved
- Option to restore original drum part placement
- Key rebindings has been moved to mode selection
- Controller support for the drums
- Fixed precision/timing detection issues for drum notes
- Fixed a drum piece placement issue

Hi VR rockstars!

Starting with today's update, you will have a new instrument to play in your virtual concerts:



You can practice in the menu, play it in "free play" mode in one of the 14 OSTs included in the game, or try to import your custom songs produced with the community tools. Our custom editor will return in future updates.



A dedicated campaign, with unlockable skins, will also arrive soon.


To accommodate the differences between the multitude of controllers available in VR, as well as the fact that we love having options, we have decided to give you the possibility to choose "classic" and "advanced" hand play-style mode:



We also took the opportunity to improve the flow and clarity of the menus, you won't lose the grabbed guitar anymore while navigating in the menus, you can still hold the guitar while changing its skin for example.
Also some UI elements, such as some gameplay modifiers, will only be visible if they make sense for the current instrument and/or play-style.


A brief summary of the update content:

- New instrument: Drums!
- Freeplay mode levels for Drums (campaign coming soon)
- "Classic" or "Advanced" for "Hand" play-style
- Menu flow improvements
- More confortable angle for UI laser poiters
- Other misc fixes and improvements


Your constructive feedback is important to us, as always, stay tuned for the next updates!
