Also, looks good. Already looks better than most other clones that have arised over the years. Would like to know what all the features this currently has and your to do list.

It's a valid crticism. Some would say it's insulting to have a non-portable non-open clone on a forum for a game that is both of those things.

That said, it looks really nice. I'll be following closely.

Good luck.

[slashfan7964]

Yeah it does look great.

If it's DirectX based, then isn't it possible to be playable on a Disc? It's not open-source....I don't think.

Would like to know what all the features this currently has and your to do list.

can't go into all the details but off the top of my head, some key features

No player limit - limit is down to what your machine can handle
flexible custom resolution support - fine for multiple monitor setups
Full 3d board, notes, meter so the camera can be moved anywhere without breaking 2d elements
4 and 5 lane drums
Board, Note, Tail fade system
Specular highlights so you get the dynamic white highlights on the notes as they pass down the board
Animation support for 3d files for menus and in game
auto controller detection, no need to manually setup bindings or rebind if the id order changes
can connect controllers after the game is launched and game will detect them

current priorities

add a sound effects audio system for drum samples and miss effects
improve hopo system
collect profiles for controllers to extend plug and play support
about 10 other misc tasks that are needed to be sorted to get project ready for its first beta release

the first beta will not be feature complete, we will be focusing on dealing with crashes and optimising for slower machines to identify a realistic minimum requirement, once things appear stable we will focus on fixing up the gameplay systems

If you need any beta testers, I'd love to help. I have a pretty high end laptop, so can run most anything.

we plan to make the beta public, the only thing we need at the moment is for people with unsupported controllers to generate control profiles for us, i will make another post with some details about that later

added a screenshot to first post to demonstrate the unlimited player support but i run out of controllers

I have a question (little off topic, and dont take this as a request but as curiosity :P) is it possible to make a game like this split into 2 different windows? and at that 2 different res windows? :P

and WOW! you must have a big monitor lol

[estemshorn]

Could this be possible on dual monitor?

like having 4 tracks on one, 4 tracks on another.

Also, are vocals going to be in this?

lol, i don't know, wouldn't expect to see it any time soon

dual monitor works slightly buggy but playable, limited to windowed mode right now unless you have a virtual setup that treats both monitors as 1

vocals is a low priority maybe

wow! that looks amazing! the "unlimited players" idea is awesome! though I doubt my low end comp could run more than 4.

What song format(s) are supported for this?
