V.4 RELEASE! FINALLY!
jOeSU » Devlog
After 2+ months, I'm finally ready to release v0.4!
This will be the largest update that has ever been released so far!
The level editor would be finished if I was good at maths, but unfortunately I am not, one line of code is in the way and its really annoying! v0.5 should come with it finished or at least a functional version.
A LOT of performance upgrades are in this update. Saving you from stuttering or frame drops, I don't have a very powerful computer, and I used to run this game at abour 57-60fps (for me the difference was suprisingly noticeable). Now I'm always running at 60!
So.... New features!!!
2 brand new modes that completely change the way you play a song (3rd one is working, not yet implimented).
Nightcore mode speeds up the music and adds a whole other level of challenge to already difficult songs, that being said it can make some songs that are a cakewalk, suprisingly difficult.
Upon completing a song in Nightcore mode you will receive this displayed on the song in the menu:
Mayhem mode will increase the speed of your song for every note that you miss! This is a great way to pressure you into playing even better than before, as the more you miss the more rapidly the difficulty will spike!
Upon completing a song in Mayhem mode you will receive this displayed on the song in the menu:
But what if you want an even bigger challenge? -- You can play in Nightcore mode and Mayhem mode AT THE SAME TIME!
Upon completing a level in both modes (seperately or at the same time), you will receive this displayed on the song in the menu:
Getting a highscore does not matter in order to secure these, all you have to do is beat them.
Tired of being bad at the game and not being able to play new songs?
Introducing: Currency!
Every time you level up you gain 100 of this currency.
If you ever played jOeSU before, you might of noticed something refering to coins, now these have been implemented, and depending on the level of a song, you can use your currency to get them, you could be level 1, have 100 of this currency, and unlock a super hard high level song, why? Because its fun to see what lies ahead.
There is now a credits button in the main menu, where you can see the song names of everything used, special thanks to people who have helped, sound effects, and so on.
There are many new songs, my personal favourites being Inspector Bonk and Battle of Ninetails. Both of these are purchaseable with the currency, so you can try them out as soon as you have enough! (which is instantly because you start with money)
I have fixed every bug that I know exists (if you ever find any, please do tell me)
These include:
Random buttons spawning just as a song starts giving you a missed note.
In the song "Dancin" when you die, ricardo would freak out and start going crazy on screen (very funny to look at though).
If you get an SS rank on a song, it actually saves it like that this time (this one was very annoying to fix).
There are many more bugs that were patched but this has been a long 2 month process and I just can't remember the others.
