Hey everyone,

AUDICA version 0.4.1 has arrived!

To celebrate the recent launch of Borderlands 3 we have partnered with our friends over at Gearbox Software to bring a Maliwan Pistol from the Borderlands universe into AUDICA! Check them out in action in the video below and then be sure to equip them the next time you boot up AUDICA:



This update also includes higher quality audio mixes, revamped in-game calibration, additions and changes to some features for content creators, and more!

Let’s jump into all the details of what’s included in v0.4.1:

• New blasters available! You can now equip and blast beats with a Maliwan Pistol from the Borderlands universe. Find them in the settings menu under customization.
  
• Interactive Calibration – It’s now easier than ever to sync up visuals and audio in-game with new interactive calibration tools for both. We have also changed how calibration numbers work under the hood, so if you had tweaked them in the past, you will want to tweak them again.
  
• Song Preview Improvements – You can now toggle the option to play a song’s preview after selecting it in the song list. Look for the checkbox on the song details screen just before you select play!
  
• Camera Panning Tweaks – You can now toggle on an indicator on the platform to see where the camera is and how much it will pan around you. This works for both the panning mixed reality camera and the 3rd person spectator camera.
  
• Twitch Chat Integration - You can now see what your audience is saying in your Twitch chat! To configure, look under "Spectator Cam" in settings and enter your Twitch channel. There are also options to re-position the chat window and optionally hide it during gameplay.
  
• Higher Quality Audio Mixes – We’ve updated song audio to use higher-quality mixes.
  
• Additional Fixes and Tweaks –
  
  • You can also now shoot and hold the up and down arrows on the song select screen to scroll faster, in additional to scrolling with the thumbstick or grabbing with the grip trigger.
    
  • Fixed an issue with how some achievements were being tracked. Progress for the achievements fixed has been reset.
    
  • Increased the default melee speed by 20% for Advanced and Expert difficulties to improve rhythmic readability.
    
  • Adjusted maps for some songs on Standard difficulty.
    
  • Re-ordered the song list to better introduce new players to the game.
    
  
  

In addition to the above, the team is working on several new tracks to bring to AUDICA in October. Don’t expect any new music to come to the game this month, but be sure to keep posted for more info on these songs and more in the coming weeks!

Finally, just in case you missed all the news over the last few weeks, AUDICA is coming to PlayStation®VR and Oculus Quest! Stay tuned for more news on both soon!
