Hey there Spinners, we have an exciting update for you today!
INDIE PACK DLC LAUNCH!
Our third DLC is now available! Take a road trip through a distant, heartfelt past with the Indie Pack DLC. We’ve brought together 7 bittersweet tracks from Indie rock artists including Mei Semones, Hachiku, Blanco Tranco and more. These have been hand picked by our programmer Steve who has created a truly excellent and spinnable setlist with a unique style.
UNBEATABLE x SRXD
Two new tracks have been added as part of our crossover collaboration with UNBEATABLE, a stylish, rocking new rhythm action game where music is illegal and you do crimes!
PROPER RHYTHM by peak divide, the first song you play in the game through their tutorial and it’s a straight breakbeat banger. Just wiggle your wheel and jam the beats, and with practice, that’s all there is to it.
FOREVER NOW by peak divide & Rachel Lake, an indie rocker with emotional vocals and a catchy synth melody you’ll find yourself bobbing your head to.
The UNBEATABLE team will be picking up Twist Sound by 2 Mello and Beyond the Heart (Broken Heart Mix) by Lena Raine from our OST Vol. 1 for their setlist, so be sure to check them out when the game releases on December 9th!
LYRICS!
To coincide with the launch of our new Indie Pack DLC, we’ve developed a sweet new feature: LYRICS!
If you’ve ever wanted to sing along to Time or Hypersphere while you spin, we now have a 3D element that displays the lyrics to you phrase by phrase! It interacts with the background elements and follows your flight path, so it’s more dynamic than you’d expect!
Our goated Community Manager TheWay123 has done the hard work to craft lyrics for 34 out of the now 77 total base game tracks, including the new UNBEATABLE tracks. We've also got Raise the Black Flag, Twist Sound, Believe, This Is It and more. Go ahead and play through the base game and see which ones have them!
Lyrics can be toggled off as well, if you’d rather focus on gameplay.
You can now create lyrics yourself for your own custom tracks in the in-game editor’s Lyric Editor mode! TheWay123 has written a useful guide on how to prepare lyrics and how to place them in your customs, following the standard guidelines established for consistency throughout the game!
MISCELLANEOUS
As we’re developing the mobile version, we’ve been creating features that are then backported to the PC experience; we’ve added a new Track Info Display option (in Options > Track + HUD) that displays the song name, artist, and cover art in the upper left corner, called Overlay. This is reminiscent of the way we used to present metadata before our visual revamp with Update 17, so some of you might prefer it or even feel some nostalgia from it for the early access days! Note that this option is currently unavailable in VR.
Spin you soon.
