Hello friends! We thought we'd share our roadmap for immediate priorities:
- Track select screen improvements: Adding metadata such as tempo + song length, plus the ability to sort tracks by difficulty, name, etc.
- Accessibility: Adding the ability to reduce flashing, colors, background motion, etc. Also, beginning to add controller support + alternate control methods.
- More songs: Free batches of new songs, most likely released in groups of three. Each batch will contain one “easy” song, to ease the new player experience.
- Score Graph: Optional “pop-up” graph on the score screen that shows how you performed throughout the track.
- Better widescreen support: Making the game experience better with ultra-widescreen monitors.
- Prepping for localization: Updating the codebase so additional language support can be added.
- Mac & Steam Deck: Researching the viability of a Mac release & possibly improving the SteamDeck experience.
The above list is roughly in priority order, although we will likely work on many of these things simultaneously, and they may not be released in the order displayed above. Overall, we'd like to have everything above finished this year! Some of these things may be very quick (such as the ability to sort tracks in the Track Select screen), while others will be more gradual (such as prepping the various screens for multi-language support).
Also note that small things — such as continued bugfixes, small tweaks, small song adjustments, etc — are not listed above. This is just the big stuff!
We also have plans for more updates beyond what is listed above. Our current plan is for our "major updates" to culminate in a level editor and more storyline content. However, the stuff above is our top priority for the moment!
We look forward to having you on our side as we continue to smooth out Trombone Champ!
Thank you!
