HELLL-OO! Welcome BACK to Riff Radio, Riff City's number one source for all the updates you need to get your band to the TOP of the charts!
The Roadmap
ALRIGHT, we've been getting lots of call-ins from you guys about this one- It's the Battle Bands Feature Roadmap! Now keep in mind that this is a living, BREATHING, ROCKING Roadmap, which means it's going to change as we add to it and possibly swap things around! Also, we'll be broadcasting plenty more specifics on EVERYTHING on this list in the coming months, so DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL! (I'm serious)
We're working on multiple things at any given time, so the actual order of released features will not always line up with the order they are listed on the Roadmap!
Tour Score
NEXT up we've got a brand new way to show your friends you're better than them, the Tour Score! Once the feature is in place, you'll receive a Tour Score at the end of each of your Tour runs which you can then compare against your own previous high score AND the high scores of every other band playing in town!
"BUT WHAT DETERMINES THIS FANCY NEW SCORE?", I hear you shouting into your van's radio. Well pipe down and we'll tell ya!
Your score is determined by a number of factors, like the amount of Matches you won, how much cash you saved, your band's morale and your final Tour Level. To really crank your score up, though, you'll need to tweak some Tour Amplifiers!
Tour Amplifiers
Tour Amplifiers are Tour Mode exclusive difficulty modifiers that can make your run easier or harder, lowering or raising a multiplier on your Tour Score. The four Amplifiers we'll be starting out with are:
- Boss Strength - Determines the starting Tour Level for rival boss bands
- Upgrade Pips - Determines how many times a card needs to be played to be upgraded
- Boss Hype - Determines how much hype rival boss bands start with in each match
- Inflation - Raises or lowers prices across Riff City
Down the line, we're planning on adding even more Tour Amplifiers for you guys to mess around with.
And that wraps up today's Riff Radio news update! Before I let you get back to head-banging, be sure to join our Discord if you're looking for new band-mates to play with or want to give us some feedback. We love hearing from you punks, so don't be shy and as always- thanks for listening!
