REST & REFLECT.
We're back! Let's talk Beatblock.
NEW SONGS
dsktpgrl's "selfportrait" has been added to the Inverses atom.
Frenetic breakbeats mix with buzzy synths and strings to create a song that could take center stage or accompany you in the background. Take a look inward, and while the day away.
"I kind of fell in love with all the different cloud types and colors of the sky at different times of the day" - dsktpgrl
auburnsummer's "Triplet Test" has been added to the Sides atom.
A lone piano recital, with nothing else but a panel's silent judgement. Have you practiced your polyrhythms? We hope so.
"pranking our fanbase by making them play a slow solo piano piece with 3:2 polyrhythms in their high energy flashing lights rhythm game" - DPS2004
THE PATCH NOTES
Rest & Reflection (1.3.0)
Main game:
NEW LEVELS: "Triplet Test" by auburnsummer, and "selfportrait" by dsktpgrl
New variants: AU CONTRAIRE Hard, C-ミ B-ミ Easy, Spin Cycle Hard, and DAMOCLISM Expert
Added unique icons for more achievements
Improved performance with levels that use a lot of decos
Level editor and custom levels:
Added "Deco Shader" event. These can be applied to decorations, as well as the player through the "Force Player Sprite" event. If you don't have any experience with writing shaders this event may be a bit hard to use, but we will work on making it more user friendly through presets in the future.
When creating levels with shaders, please keep users who might be playing on lower end devices in mind! If your effect is laggy on weaker devices, consider simplifying it.
Notes are now recolorable through note properties, a new event (Recolor notes), and ease sequences
Added [c]noteVolume[/c] easable. This has no effect above its default value of 1, so use it to make notes quieter
Added [c]rtf.timeScale[/c] ease, to make text decorations update faster or slower
(added in last update but forgot to mention) made ease sequences less annoying to edit, removed auto sorting
Boolean values that default to false no longer require two clicks to enable
Changed how VFX angle is calculated for notes, now uses ease sequence distance if that is applicable. For the old behavior that ignores ease sequence distance, set [c]vfx.useVFXDistanceForVFXAngle[/c] to false
Fixed toggle particles event for mineholds
Added shift+play keybind for "play from last bookmark"
