Update 13.5 - Originality - Major Content Update
Release Date: TBA. Editor lag is being a massive problem currently
What’s new:
UI
Major Revamps to the UI screen to be more clean and modern.
Removed several old songs and replacing them with new music.
This music will be AI generated via Suno’s v5 model. Thus, it won’t be taken from another producer.
Some old songs will remain. Overall, there will be less songs in the music rotation. See dev notes for more detailed reasons.
Similar to the Battle Music, the lobby music will see similar changes, but the number of songs will still be the same.
Gamemodes
The following gamemodes have received specification changes
Frontlines
Reduced the number of tickets need to win a score victory to 500.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where the message of a successful elimination would remain frozen on screen should it appear during the victory chime.
I am aware of a bug that causes incorrect collision and roof rendering on some maps despite it being correctly placed in the costume editor. This is currently being investigated.
Developer Notes
This update is made to update the UI and make major changes to the music, along with a gamemode change.
First, the UI screen will receive some changes, including button layout and appearance, along with cleaner placement.
For the battle songs, changes have been made to the music rotation to remove low quality and somewhat boring music, add some songs which is more fit for the game’s genre, and overall for general originality. The same will happen for most of the lobby soundtracks. Overall, there will be less soundtracks. Some old songs will still be in the game
For context, all of the new songs will be AI generated using Suno AI’s v5 model. As part of a subscription to access said model, the songs get copyright protections, thus making these new songs the first soundtracks ever to be fully original to the game. These songs will be dropped shortly before the update as Volume 2.
For the Frontlines mode, the amount of tickets needed to win is reduced to 500 to reduce match times. This is targeted to the Standard variant of the gamemode where the only way to win is by tickets.
Lastly some small bug fixes were made as well as an investigation of a bug is underway.
The next update will add a new gamemode.
