Spin Rhythm XD – Ver. 1.4

Release date: TBA
Patch notes:

Two new tracks from B-Sides competition!

We’ve run our B-sides competition (OST Vol.1 community remixes) competition twice now. The first two winners produced some banger tunes we are thrilled to be able to finally include amongst the base game charts! These were super fun to chart and we hope you enjoy playing them.

The winning songs are Spin Cycle (NETCAVY Remix) and The Magician (Eraser Remix).

You’ll find these right next to their respective OST charts with a slight difficulty buff to their OST counterparts.

Special thanks to Discord user Lena for helping with the tempo map for The Magician.

Features

Added Final Boss RemiXD difficulty – good luck!

Improved tutorial!

Improved practice mode!

Every single track section has been named and will display in the timeline

Track sections are now used as practice sections allowing for better looping

Score percentage is now clearly displayed in the timeline

Removed Songwhip links (the service has been discontinued) and replaced with other links

Improved customs editor! Tracks can now be cut short at the beginning and end

Spin Rhythm XD – Ver. 1.3

Release date: ???
Patch notes:

Two new tracks!

We’ve included 2 Chillhop Music bangers (can you call something so chill a banger?) to give you a taste of the DLC flavour. Enjoy!

Second Wind – L’Indecis

Daydream – Eli Way

We have also included 4 new RemiXD tracks!

Dying Scarlet

Come to Me

Sector 5

Time

Improved UI stuff

We’ve polished up our UI a little. There’s a slightly cleaner look to most of the options menu sliders which now use dots and better visualising of containers, as well as some fancy drop down menus.

Input mapping has been improved with combined keyboard / mouse on one page.

Some more important input options have been moved out to the main settings menu tab

‘Hold to move’ option has been added for gyro controls

Track select menu changes

Track filter’ now has its own tab

Added scratch notes to ‘performance progress’ tab

Practice mode changes

Each section now shows accuracy as well as total score progress

Practice mode sections for each track are now based on cue points

If no cue points are present defaults to evenly spaced sections as before

Tutorial polish

The tutorial now has proper glyphs for mouse controls.

Track editor

Individual background elements can now be turned on and off to your chart’s desire.

Check the “toggle elements” buttons at the bottom of the left panel in edit mode. This means you can now use the Monstercat and Chillhop backgrounds without the presence of the furry overlords in the distance!

Spin Rhythm XD – Ver. 1.25

Release date: ???
Patch notes:

FEATURES

Two new tracks – Dying Scarlet and Come to Me by Akira Complex

We hope you enjoy these two very cool, contrasting tracks

Dynamic background system

We had big ideas initially for a dynamic, fully customisable background system, and while we never reached those goals, we have added a new (toggleable!) system which adds a lot of colour and energy to tracks.

All tracks now contain a light and dark background variant. These are blended at various strengths depending on which notes you hit

Most backgrounds have been polished and redone to a degree.

“Festive Spirit” skins added to Supporter Pack from 12 Dec to 12 Jan

Enjoy an exclusive Christmassy UI skin and a Santa hat for Jimmy and Lady, available to everyone over the period, but will remain available to those with the supporter pack

POLISH

Added spin flash effect for better feedback when spins are hit

Spin tap effect (the spinning square) has been returned to its former glorious brightness level

Calibration now mentions milliseconds in all languages

Gamepad haptic feedback has been improved

Graphic EQ now looks a bit brighter and more shiny (toggleable)

Particles have been returned to their pre-Switch optimisation state – more numerous and beautiful

Improved the world reaction to tap notes – these now decrease in height more smoothly

Tutorial will now show proper inputs for MIDI devices (“tap wheel” and “tap beat”)

Added a way to disable scroll wheel (mainly for customs charters) – check input > mouse > enable scroll wheel

BUGS

Fixed a bug where “Clean Finish” achievement was not triggering correctly

Fixed a bug where all players in multiplayer would start their wheels in the same place
