Note Tracking Overhaul - Update #26 (Patreon)

Howdy-hey BunGang, it's Blue again for another update post! Work continues, and those in the modding community probably know what I'm about to talk about first.

New Note Tracking Format

Previously, the notes.cfg file in Beat Banger was based on a Beats. This was good, but as the modding community pushed the engine to its limits, it became clear that this method was restrictive. We wanted to nail it before the launch in April. In particular, things like triplets were impossible with the old system.

The new note system uses timestamps in milliseconds instead. The conversion was quite simple.

Cutscenes

We are now full-force working on making and implementing cutscenes into the game. Like levels, modders can make cutscenes, with options to include sound files for effects or voice lines and display on-screen dialogue. We'll be showing more of that soon enough.

That's all for today. See you next time!
