Cloudy Workshop Update (1.1.0) - Steam Workshop support & a new level!

Hey y'all!

CV here. Let's talk Beatblock.

We've been hard at work with some upcoming songs, but in the meantime we've got something else...

WORKSHOP SUPPORT

Already played everything in the maingame? Want somewhere that's easy to access for customs? It's Workshop time! We've added support for uploading and downloading custom songs directly to and from the Steam Workshop, as well as custom costume support!

Note that there are certain restrictions to abide by- any rhythm game original or artist whose work features heavily in rhythm games is disallowed (unless you get explicit permission.) You can check the guidelines (as well as artists who have explicitly given permission for their works) in our Workshop Guidelines and Permissions spreadsheet.

NEW SONG: yeetyote & Rikri - cloud factory

Another Challenge appears! Cast your gaze upwards as the clouds drift by... and try to manage multiple paddles in the process. Try not to get carried away!

anyways, here are tha patch noats. for the nitty-gritty:

  • There is now also a corresponding costume and achievement for this level.

• Added custom costume editor and publishing + downloading via Steam Workshop

  • Costumes created for use with the unofficial "Skin Drawer" mod should be fully backwards compatible. Thanks to thatguytheman for making the original mod, and for help with getting this working!

• Added a costume for getting an A rank or higher on Spin Cycle

• Added a Tangent chart for ILOVEYOU.vbs. It's Really Hard, so watch out.

  • Now that there is more than one Tangent chart, an achievement has been added for passing one

• Added an easier difficulty to the following levels: Destroy, Destroy (feat. eili), +ERABY+E CONNEC+10N, and Era Chimæra

• All levels now have joystick LED effects! Be sure to try it out with a compatible controller, like a Dualshock 4 or a Dualsense

• Added "Load Custom Font" event to the editor

Changes (Main game)

• Nerfed unlock condition for DAMOCLISM, it now requires 7 or fewer misses on a difficulty 7 chart, instead of 0 misses

• Chart improvements for Rhythmic Shield (Hard)

• Visual improvements in ILOVEYOU.vbs, Omelette Cafe By Road 38 (Easy), and Empty Diary

• Main menu selection is now saved when moving to another state
