Others Beat Banger

CATHY'S VOLUME 2 LEVEL IS FINALLY HERE. We wanted to try something different this time around when it came to the animation quality. Sure enough, it paid off, but it took much longer than we expected. We were a bit overly ambitious with her level, but we wanted to try adding two cum scenes. And now that we know how long it takes to produce that sort of detail, we will take steps to maintain our quality. But... do it just a little bit faster this time. Collectables A while ago, we conceptualized a Gachapon machine in Jasmine Shop that lets you collect items using tokens. We scrapped the Gachapon machine idea because it was too convoluted and just gave players collectible items for doing things throughout the game. You can gain some collectables by beating certain levels or by clicking certain things in certain menus. Not all the collectables are available yet, but each one has a short description that ties together a couple of things related to beat bangers lore. Calibration (BETA) Are the music and the notes just not lining up correctly? Well, we've got a solution that's currently in beta. By going into the Escape menu and going into the Gameplay settings, you'll see a button for a calibration menu. There, you can adjust the delay in milliseconds between your audio and video so your notes line up better. Up Next... Up next is Makayla's level. We're taking a lot into account this time to try and get the animations done a whole lot quicker than Cathy's. We appreciate everyone who stuck around for the development of this game. It's been super stressful getting to this point, but we're slowly but surely getting closer to being done. Known Issues Sometimes the theater won't load cutscenes properly. Some collectibles are currently unachievable. We're working on putting an indicator on those. Let me know if you guys find any bugs that aren't listed here. There's a little bug reporting button on the main menu if you find something.

Massive UI Overhaul It took a lot of work, but we finally made it so you can use your mouse to navigate throughout the entirety of Beat Banger! Gone are the days of not being able to use your mouse to navigate the menu! We've also improved the way controllers work on menus. We've also given the main menu a new look featuring Zoe. We'll soon be adding more characters to the main menu, and we hope to have more creative and interactive interfaces in the future! We've also completely overhauled the hot menu to be more mouse-friendly and less intrusive. A few options from the old menu are missing, such as the glyph override control; however, we'll add them back shortly. Rank and (S)EXP Beat Banger now includes tracked experience value, which gives you a title for being the best Beat Banger around. This value unlocks things gradually throughout the game, as well as provides a mechanism for unlocking content in later updates, such as secret levels and character interactions that wouldn't be possible otherwise. Rank Titles You can gain (S)EXP from unlocking achievements, playing official levels, and even from playing mods! Beating official levels ranges from 50 to 100, depending on difficulty. It shouldn't be too difficult to unlock everything quickly. We may add more ranks for higher XP values down the line. Fan Art Gallery We've added a fan art section to the In-Game Gallery to allow community members to show off the fantastic fan art they've made! The images in the gallery are just the beginning, as we plan to add more in future updates. Additions Added ranks and experience system Added mouse compatibility Added in-game mod browser!

U3 We recently updated the Godot engine to Godot 4.5 Beta 5, which should fix the issue where the game would refuse to launch and show a message saying "A CPU with SSE4.2 Instruction set support is required." Charts have been reverted back to old conventions
