๐ŸŽต v1.0.34 & 1.0.35 Patch Notes

๐ŸŽฎ Note Generation Overhaul

  • Easy ~ Hard โ€” Reduced note count and tuned the rhythm to feel a lot more natural ๐ŸŽฏ

  • Expert โ€” Removed unnecessary notes triggered by quiet sounds, and cleaned up overlapping consecutive notes ๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐Ÿ”ฌ What Changed Under the Hood

This is the heart of the update! We made massive improvements to how music is analyzed and turned into notes โš™๏ธ

  • Auto Density Control by Section โ€” The game analyzes a song's energy and places fewer notes during quiet sections (like intros) and more during choruses and drops

  • Beat Grid Snapping โ€” Note timing is automatically aligned to a BPM-based grid, making everything feel way more on-beat

  • Weak Sound Filtering โ€” Notes that were being generated from faint sounds or background noise are now filtered out based on intensity

  • Burst Auto-Align โ€” Short rapid-fire note sequences are redistributed evenly across BPM subdivision grids so they feel much better to play

  • Gap Fill โ€” When there's a long stretch with no notes, beat positions are used to fill it in naturally

๐ŸŽ† Chorus Buildup Effect Added

Right before the chorus hits, we intentionally pull back on the notes a little! This makes the moment the chorus explodes feel way more dramatic and exciting ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿ… 26 New Achievements Added

  • A wide variety of new achievements have been added for all kinds of play styles ๐ŸŽ–๏ธ

  • Silver Medal Hunter / Gold Medal Hunter โ€” Collectible achievements that unlock as you earn All Combo and All Perfect medals across the built-in song list ๐Ÿฅˆ๐Ÿฅ‡

๐ŸŽจ Result Stamp Redesign

The result stamps have been redesigned, and achieving All Perfect now shows a dedicated stamp โœจ

(There might also be a hidden stamp you can only see with a very low chance...)

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Bug Fixes & Other Improvements

  • Fixed an issue where some song category filters were displaying incorrectly

  • Built-in song button tooltips now show how many medals you've earned per song type ๐Ÿ…

  • Fixed an issue where the note count shown in the difficulty selection screen didn't match the actual number of notes

  • Fixed an issue where difficulty star ratings weren't accurately reflecting the actual difficulty

  • Adjusted the Strength values of gap-fill notes in quiet sections so Auto Play performs them more naturally

๐Ÿ’ก Want to Have Even More Fun?

Try using custom songs with a strong, clear beat! You'll get a much more exciting and immersive experience ๐ŸŽง

๐Ÿ’ฌ Songs that are mostly vocal-driven with little to no backing beat still don't generate perfect notes just yet. We'll keep working on it!

From Wina

After this update, Expert difficulty notes are going to be sooo much better than before โ€” Wina guarantees it ๐Ÿ˜คโœจ

Over 1,000 lines of new source code went into these note generation improvements.

Wina is chugging energy drinks and going all-in to keep making better and better notes for you ๐Ÿฅค๐Ÿ’ช

From Kei

We finally hit 1 follower on X (Twitter)!! ๐ŸŽ‰

Who knew promoting on social media was this hard...? Still figuring it out ๐Ÿ˜…

Please tell your friends about Melody Friends...! Seriously, you're the reason we keep going ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’•
