Stage Presence

Hey guys! I've been working hard on updating Stage Presence since my last post and wanted to update you on the improvements. Massive improvements to loading times. Game loads ~85% faster (load times now between 10 - 15 seconds). New Karaoke custom music system that allows users to load .mp3, .flac or .wav files. Will soon support internet radio streams. Also cleans up clarity of custom music. Decreased RAM usage, improving game stability for some users. Improved crowd animation LOD distances. Fixed bug where users were unable to load custom music if they loaded music, played a karaoke game, switched music in-game and then returned to main menu. The big one is the loading time improvement I rolled out today. This makes it MUCH quicker to get into a game and makes the game much more stable. I'm working on a few other upgrades for the project. Currently I'm upgrading the version of VRTK the game uses which will improve the quality and performance of the VR version of the game (and add a few small features). That will hopefully be rolled out in the next month. Cheers again for all your support, Jon

Hey guys, It's been 1 week today since we launched! It's been a pretty crazy week - it's been super cool seeing people finally able to play the game! We had a few issues at launch with bugs so every day this week I've been rolling out patches and fixes and adding features people have requested. Here's what the last week has brought: Added ability to load custom music on Karaoke mode during gameplay via the Pause Menu. Added first pass at in-game Audio Settings menu. Currently only allows basic controls of various volume settings. Will soon have more complex options. Made crowd respond more quickly to microphone input Added HUD for PC desktop players. This makes it easier to understand how the crowd are reacting and how much time remains in the game. Made the game less likely to tell you to “Sing Quieter” when you’re already whispering. Lowered the level of bloom and sunshaft intensity in each scene. Fixed issue with Pause Menu buttons not being properly selectable in VR. Fixed bug with microphone error message appearing when returning to main menu after playing a game. Fixed bug that caused the ‘Pause Menu’ to not function correctly in VR. Fixed End-Of-Game
