Today's AUDICA update (v0.3.1) brings a few gameplay tweaks and adjustments. Most notably, we've enhanced the Cue Dart system to help you sight-read targets in your peripheral vision as well as during complex moves, such as cross-overs.
Here's a full rundown of the changes made in v0.3.1:
- Target Telegraph Improvements:
- The Cue Dart system has been revamped. Cue darts now have a "pre-glow" element to make anticipation easier and improve sight-reading.
- Target speed on Expert has been increased 15% to make dense authoring easier to read.
- The Telegraph "ring" animation has been adjusted to make rhythms easier to read.
- Cue Dart speed is now unaffected by the Target Speed setting.
- You can adjust the new Cue Dart settings in the "Gameplay" section of the Settings menu.
- Added hand smoothing to reduce controller jitter. Smoothing amount can be adjusted in the "Gameplay" section of the Settings menu.
- The Cue Dart system has been revamped. Cue darts now have a "pre-glow" element to make anticipation easier and improve sight-reading.
- Gunslinging Updates:
- Added the ability to release the Oculus Touch grip button to throw or spin the guns, making it function similarly to the Valve Index Controllers. This is off by default and can be enabled in the "Misc" section of the Settings menu.
- Adjusted gun-swapping behavior so that your hand attracts the gun you are pointing at, rather than the closest gun, when throwing guns with the "Allow Hand Swap" setting enabled.
- Added the ability to release the Oculus Touch grip button to throw or spin the guns, making it function similarly to the Valve Index Controllers. This is off by default and can be enabled in the "Misc" section of the Settings menu.
- Reverted the audio settings for drum kits back to Destruct by default. We will continue to iterate on the extra kits before they're integrated more deeply across the soundtrack.
- Fixes and Tweaks:
- Repeated restarts and failures are now grouped together in play history on the Song Info panel.
- Fixed elements of the in-game Map Creator not appearing in mixed reality.
- Optimizations to mixed reality rendering when using LIV.
- Additional general performance optimizations.
- Repeated restarts and failures are now grouped together in play history on the Song Info panel.
