MusicWave News

This update was a long time coming, finally implemented the ability to customize note colors!

Future plans include delay offsetting, custom highway images, custom backgrounds, and a song editor.

In other news, I recently received a promotion at my full time job giving my more responsibility. This will definitely effect my ability to work on games for a while. I'll keep you updated on future plans and dates as I sort that out.

As always, thanks for playing!

A new song joins the list!

Please welcome IDFK and their bubbly track Heartful.

Looking forward to adding more of their unique tracks into the game.

I fixed the notorious controls not rebinding or working glitch that prevented people from playing. I'm really sorry about this glitch; it was a serious issue.

It was only occurring for new players or people who hadn't completed a song yet. I wasn't properly handling the new feature in new save data files.

To fail is to learn and based on MusicWave's reviews, I'm learning a lot. It's okay though, I knew this game would be rough around the edges when I released it in Early Access and the only way for the game to improve as well as my own game development habits is to move forward.

This bug was game breaking, but hopefully you guys can forgive me and give it another chance.

As always, thanks for playing.

I've had it on my list for a while to update MusicWave's GUI and this was long overdue. The visuals are a lot more fun and informative!

Here's what's changed:

• Better placement of GUI meters
  
• New streak meter shows how close you are to each 50 increment.
  
• Animations and distinct colors for each meter so you can tell what it says without reading it.
  
• Multiplier meter now shows your streak progress
  
• Orbs are gold if you haven't missed a note
  
• FC indicator (Full combo (Having never missed a note or pressed something incorrectly))
  

Let me know if you like the new visuals! Might even change a few more things before supporting custom skinning, I just want everything to be where it should be.

As for the control update bug:

I cannot recreate the bug you guys are talking about where you cannot rebind your controls. I added a reset to default button for if your controls got messed up you can reset them, but I still cannot recreate this bug.

Make sure you are clicking the rebind button and when it's red and says "??" you press the key you want to bind it to. I spoke to some people on the discord server and they said they weren't having issues either.

If you are having this issue please reach out to me, maybe take a video? I'd really like to sort it out.

Likely will only be one new song this Friday since it's my finals week.

That's all and as always, thanks for playing!

I'm a little light on the update this week. I wasn't able ton finish the song charts on time due to final exams and projects. I hope you can forgive me, I promise when the semester ends I'll be more regular on the updates!

This update is still important, it adds the ability to rebind controls; something requested by almost every positive and negative review.

It also adds some small optimizations throughout.

Expect some more requested features to come soon! Let me know about any bugs.

Thanks for playing, as always,
