Rocking Legend Update: Controllers, Guitar Controllers and Rebinding

This update focuses on playing with a controller or a physical guitar controller.
Guitar controllers without Steam Input (experimental)
We've added our own recognition for guitar controllers so that they can work without Steam Input:
Xbox 360 guitars (Guitar Hero and Rock Band)
PS3 and Wii guitars (Guitar Hero PS3 and World Tour PC, Rock Band PS3 and Wii)
PS4 guitars (Rock Band 4, including PDP Riffmaster and CRKD Gibson SG in PS4 mode)
Frets, strum bar, Start, and ‘Power Surge’ ability work out of the box, and everything can be rebound in Settings → Controls.
We don't have most of these instruments in the studio yet, so this support is experimental, and your feedback will make a big difference. If your guitar doesn't work as expected:
Disable Steam Input for Rocking Legend to use our built-in recognition.
Enable Steam Input to try Steam's own controller support instead.
Xbox One and Series guitars aren't supported directly yet. You can still try Steam Input or community tools such as RB4InstrumentMapper, but we haven't tested them.
Power Surge
New default button: on controllers, Power Surge is now activated with Select / Back.
Tilt is now optional: tilt is no longer assigned by default because it triggered on its own on several guitars. If you like it, bind it in Settings → Controls by raising the guitar neck.
More reliable tilt: once bound, tilt triggers when you raise the neck, not when you lower the guitar back.
No accidental double toggles: pressing again right after an activation is ignored so that a shaky guitar won't switch Power Surge back off.
Rebinding
Analog inputs need a deliberate move: moving the guitar while pressing a fret no longer binds the wrong axis.
No more menu side effects: binding a button no longer triggers it in the menu. For example, binding the red fret no longer sends you back a page.
Menus and navigation
Right stick: it no longer moves the menu selection, so whammy bars and tilt sensors can't scroll through menus.
Recenter everywhere: you can now recenter your view in menus too, not only during songs.
Steam Frame
We've ordered a Steam Frame! Rocking Legend should already work with it through SteamVR, but as soon as it arrives, we'll test it thoroughly to make sure the game runs as well as possible.
Having trouble with your controller?
The game writes a diagnostic file here:
%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Domurosoft\\RockingLegend\\InputDevicesReport.txt
Please attach it to your report. It tells us exactly what the game sees and helps us support your instrument.
Thanks for your support, and keep rocking!

Hi VR Rockstars!

Engine upgrade
Fix for a case of guitar tutorial hanging
Stability fixes

Power Surge, local leaderboards and fixes from reported issues! 🎸

Hi VR Rockstar!
Here we are with another update, this time with a new requested gameplay feature and some fixes based on your feedback and reported issues!
While playing guitars (drums will come next), players can now enter "Power Surge" status mode, where you can double note scores at the cost of some health consumption:
While in this status, you'll slowly deplete your health bar and won't gain any more by playing notes correctly until you repeat the gesture to return to the normal status.
You can use this strategically to optimize the score, but remember to pay attention to your health bar!
Another requested feature was a way to keep track of the custom songs you've already played at least once. We did a little more and added a local leaderboard that is stored locally for your custom songs!
You can now attempt to improve the best score on your favorite songs.
Some users reported more details about having issues with drumstick collision detection. We could reproduce it and include a fix for this version. We hope this will fix any related issues.
We received other miscellaneous reports, such as wrong multiplayer spawn, unwanted drum kick activations, and guitar settings reverting to default while playing campaign mode.
We should have addressed them all in this update, and we hope you'll enjoy it!
Here is a summary of the main changes for the 1.4 release:

Power Surge mode! (only guitars at the moment)
Local leaderboard scores for custom songs
Improved drumstick collision detection
Fix for drum kick activable in drums classic mode
Fix for guitar settings resetting when playing campaign mode
Multiplayer fix: players could happen to spawn on a single-player stage
Fix for in-game custom song deletion
Touch Controller default bindings: Pause button moved to stick-click
Fix for "\n" appearing in some tutorial text
Fix for some missing localizations
Stay tuned for the following updates, and keep rocking loudly! 🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁

Hi VR Rockstar!
Here we are with a new big update!
We worked hard to make this version more stable and refined.
With more content, more bugs fixed, and some memory usage optimizations and stability fixes, this build should hopefully be a release candidate for 1.0!
But don't fear. This won't mean the end of support. This means that the game should be fully playable and, hopefully, appealing to more players.
Back to the updated content, this time, we have 3 new original songs:
They're always freely included, with new guitar and drums levels.
We also reworked virtual guitar positioning with gaze-based hints, and now it should be easier to adjust guitar positioning with a more generous grab area and an improved two-handed positioning:
We also improved the drum hit detection algorithm to reduce false hits, especially for long drumstick movements.
Another usability improvement worth mentioning is related to volume management.
Now, all the sounds will respect the volumes you set in the settings. Furthermore, fireworks and the crowd shouting will no longer occur during the in-game song selection after a match.
A brief summary of the changes:

3 new original songs
improved virtual guitar positioning
improved drum piece hit detection
better volume management
lots of fixes and optimizations
As we said in the headings, we would like to move out of the early access phase soon. We could tweak it a bit, but this should be the release candidate.
We're eager to hear feedback on this build. Have a great day, everyone. Be the legend and rock hard!
