Drums are now available!
For a while now only the guitar has been available for the rhythm gameplay, this is no longer the case. The drums are now available in all difficulties and tempos. It has taken a lot of time to complete due to the number of pattern files required (510 to be exact).
User suggestions and further development
We are still completely open to new suggestions and are still working day and night on the game. This is a game we know needs some touching-up and you can expect us to continue working on the game for quite some time. We just want to clarify for our customers/future users that we don't see the game as finished but it is (in our opinion) well beyond Early Access. There is lots of content already and even more on the way.
This game has been a giant project for us and so we don't plan to turn our backs on it until we've completed it. Coming from a cynical point of view you may think we are just trying to show fake dedication but even from a business stand point, it wouldn't make sense for us to leave the game in its current state after all that we have put into it already. Imagine a classic game like Roller Coaster Tycoon with half the content it currently has. A game like that wouldn't sell for 18 years past its original release. We want a game that lasts for the long run, and beats out any attempted clones.
