1. Update 1.3
  2. Hey there Spinners, we've got a huge update for you today with the addition of a new and completely free VR mode, as well as the release of our Chillhop DLC and PlayStation 4 + 5 port!

  6. You'd better believe we are reusing this GIF!

  8. UPDATE 1.3
  9.  
  10. There's a lot of things to get through so let's go!
  11.  
  12. VR Mode
  13.  
  14. It's finally here! Jump in, have a smash and let us know what you think.
  15.  
  16. In typical SRXD fashion we have allowed a customisable experience. By default, wheel motion and taps are achieved by contacting either hand's pointer with the wheel itself. Beats are achieved by tapping outside the wheel area.
  17.  
  18. You can customise which hand does what in the VR tab in the options menu, so if you'd rather have one hand do beats only no matter where you tap, that is an option.
  19.  
  20. We have some pretty nifty and hopefully seamless aim assist which helps with jagged vertical motion. This helps you get in the groove and jam out without worrying about moving your arms too robotically.
  21.  
  22. Thanks to everyone who helped with our beta branch on Discord. This is our first time doing anything VR and we do not have access to every piece of VR hardware, so if you find any issues please let us know over on our Discord channel.
  23.  
  24.  
  25.  
  26. Chillhop DLC
  27.  
  28. Prepare for something quite different to the usual Spin Rhythm base game experience.
  29.  
  30.  
  31.  
  32.  
  33. Spin, relax and study to 10 of the mellowest, good-vibes tunes to ever hit the rhythm dimension. There's also some sweet lo-fi inspired skins including a recording studio style wheel skin, an XLR cable track edge and some very cute raccoon skins for Jimmy and LadyJ.

  87.  
  88. Improved UI stuff
  89.  
  90. 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.
  91.  
  92.  
  93.  
  94. Input mapping has been improved with combined keyboard / mouse on one page.
  95. Some more important input options have been moved out to the main settings menu tab
  96. 'Hold to move' option has been added for gyro controls
  97.  
  98.  
  99. Track select menu changes
  100.  
  101. ‘Track filter’ now has its own tab
  102. Added scratch notes to ‘performance progress’ tab
  103.  
  104.  
  105. Practice mode changes
  106.  
  107. Each section now shows accuracy as well as total score progress
  108. Practice mode sections for each track are now based on cue points
  109. If no cue points are present defaults to evenly spaced sections as before
  110.  
  111.  
  112. Tutorial polish
  113.  
  114. The tutorial now has proper glyphs for mouse controls.
  115.  
  116. Track editor
  117.  
  118. Individual background elements can now be turned on and off to your chart's desire.
  119.  
  120.  
  121.  
  122. 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!
  123.  
  124. Demo update!
  125.  
  126. We've included Daydream in the demo to give the people a taste of Chillhop's style (and to run a cool competition on their Discord).
  127.  
  128. What's next?!
  129.  
  130. So what comes next? You all know we're not the best at making and sticking to timelines. The main things we have left on our personal wishlists are improving the editor to be more mouse friendly, adding an "endless mode" which could be pretty fun and some kind of simple lobby-based online multiplayer if it's possible (although it's a massive undertaking).
  131.  
  132. We also have 6 remaining tracks (including the two B-sides competition winners) to include in a future update.
  133.  
  134. Until then, hope you enjoy this big update!
  135.  
  136.  
  137.  
  138. As always, thanks for spinning.
