Hey everyone! We’re happy to bring a brand new update to AUDICA! Based on your feedback, we have some exciting new features to share with you. Oh, and don’t forget, we have two new songs as well!
Let’s get into the notes!
New Songs:
- “Boom Boom” by Iggy Azalea ft. Zedd
- “Synthesized (Audica Remix)” by Symbion Project
Game Updates & Fixes:
-
Authoring adjustments to address player feedback on difficulty:
-
"I Want U" by Alison Wonderland - all difficulties.
-
"Splinter" by Savant - Beginner, Moderate, and Advanced.
-
Note: Leaderboards will be wiped for these two songs on the adjusted difficulties since the changes have lowered the maximum possible score.
-
Target movement has been slowed in lower difficulties to increase readability.
-
Target visibility improvements:
-
Increased brightness of cue dart and added a pulse element to help with rhythmic readability.
-
Particle explosions are reduced in sections that have a lot of targets.
-
Reduced flare-out for gun beams and stacked notes.
-
Added spectator camera options to improve the streaming and viewing experience:
-
Smoothed first person camera, static third person camera, and panning third person camera.
-
Added player avatars when in third person spectator camera mode.
-
Added feature to allow mixed reality streamers to create the appearance of the camera panning around them.
-
Fixed rendering issues when shooting towards the camera in mixed reality.
-
For the particle lovers, added an "extra particles" option.
-
You can now twirl your guns by holding the thumbstick sideways, or pressing down on the sides of the Vive trackpad - how cool is that?
-
Fixed bug where European number formatting caused leaderboards to not work.
-
Added meters to height display in the settings.
-
Added a haptics intensity slider.
-
Fixed long song names hanging off end of results screen.
-
Updated the Form graphics in the Tutorial for clearer instruction.
-
We have updated to Unity version 2018.3.10, which fixes low framerate when Alt Tab-ed away from the game.
