Progress Report

This week's devlog is a bit simpler that previous entries.

I'm just gonna list what I worked on this week:

• Fixed a music synchronization bug when aspect ratio was different than 16:9.
• Made draft songmaps for one song in Easy and Difficult modes. However, fine tuning them is taking me longer than I expected. The above mentioned sync problem didn't help with this.
• Got multitouch input working in the game (yay!)
• Made an Android port and tested it on a couple of devices.
• Adjusted the settings menu items for Android devices (full screen toggle and keyboard/gamepad control settings don't make sense in that platform)
• Changed the rating pop-up texts position to the top center of the screen. I noticed that in the previous position (on top of each of the note hit zones) they were covered by the player's fingers when playing on mobile.
• Implemented some performance tweaks for the Android port. Post-processing bloom effect sadly had to go, it was lagging the game too much. So far, I got it to 60 fps (not consistently though) on a 2017 Huawei Y7. I'll probably do more performance tuning later to make sure the game runs smoothly.
• Performed translation quality control for Thai and Italian languages. Thank you for the help, XVII KNIGHT and Akarutsuki Okami!
• Particle effects on/off switch works now. Less distractions on your screen if you don't want the pretty effects in the background.
• Fixed a bug with the music volume slider also affecting sound effects volume.










I'm aiming for a preliminary version release next week, with one or two songs in the game (out of a total of 4), for both PC and Android platforms!
