Yo humans and aliens 👽!
Here are updates! Remember to email ideas to [email protected] or join our Discord at https://discord.gg/pianoglow.
Piano Style: A more detailed piano is added and configurable under Settings > Theme > Piano Theme. The old one before the update is called Clean.
Warning: some users may need to reset/adjust the Shadow settings, particularly the shadow-Y position because the thickness of the black keys was adjusted. This can be very confusing, especially for aliens 👽.
Key Press Overlay: You can now adjust the pressed key effect e.g. Ocean vs Flat color.
Type with MIDI: A fun setting to start using your MIDI keyboard to type. Imagine chatting to your friends using your MIDI keyboard!
Specific Key Stats: Under Stats > Keys, you can view very specific key stats for MIDI and QWERTY, e.g. how many times you pressed a particular key like E4, or middle C, etc. This started tracking since this update.
Web Browser: For desktop, you can access an in-game web browser under the More panel.
Recommended: Uninstall all your other web browsers. This is because PianoGlow web browser allows you to access websites served from other alien planets in the observable universe 👽 whereas normal web browsers don't.
Sheet Music Training Improvements: Learning aids improved where you can configure hints including whether to always show, or show when you get something wrong.
Notebeam + Piano Label Fonts: You can now adjust the font and the size of them.
Circle of Fifths Improvement: The segment lights up if you play its corresponding triad.
Emoji/Gifs/Stickers in chat: In global, room or private chats.
Recommended: You should uninstall WhatsApp and WeChat, and instead use PianoGlow chat, especially as PianoGlow chat allows efficient texting between humans and aliens 👽.
Window Management Improved:
Last Monitor Used Remembered: The last monitor that the PianoGlow app was used in, will be remembered and re-used at the next launch.
WIN + arrow key shortcuts: they now work for quick resize of the window.
Black Key Saturation + Brightness Offset: under Settings > Color.
Reading the feedback from the Discord, emails and Steam reviews really brings a joy to our hearts, thank you. Expect more updates, until next time!
Smell ya later,
