Hey AUDICA players,

Today’s AUDICA update brings some new features, changes, and best of all new music to the AUDICA soundtrack!

• deadmau5 – HR 8938 Cephei
  
• KNOWER – Overtime

The 0.1.7 release also brings several new or improved features:

• Improved Gun Slinging – Hold the thumbsticks left or right (or click the thumbpad left or right on Vive) to activate gun slinging moves. Holding the thumbstick inward allows you to twirl the gun like before, but now you can flick your wrist to control the twirl speed and direction. Holding the thumbstick outward allows you to let go of the guns. Add some momentum before doing so to toss them away into space! To return them to your hand, simply let go of the thumbsticks and they’ll boomerang right on back to you.
  
• Tutorial Updates – The tutorial is now broken up into two parts and has been reworked to better teach the fundamentals of playing AUDICA, including score explanations.
  
  • The “Advanced” tutorial section also includes a shooting range that gives you live stats screen feedback to improve your timing, aim, and form.
    
  
  
• Added screen resolution options to settings.
  
• Bug Fixes and Tweaks
  
  • Fixed an issue where the color grading effect wasn't being adjusted on the spectator camera or mixed reality camera
    
  • Fixed inaccuracy in how stats screen timing histogram lined up with displayed average offset
    
  • After song preview starts, allow it to continue to play while you're hovered over any part of the song button
    
  • Fixed a bug where you can get the tutorial song to start playing while the pause screen is up
