Piano Rocker
Test keys recall + War in Ukraine
There has been a first closed alpha version, i've figured out build pipeline + a major bug with rendering 3d mode has been discovered on windows, I'm working on it.
The overall development stopped for a month due to health/personal issues. I'm planning to continue, but can't give you exact dates, i'm still recovering.
As of today - more than a week passed since russia invaded my home country Ukraine. I'm safe in Berlin, but my family and friends are not.
https://supportukrainenow.org/ Please support the troops, raise awareness and I hope it will be over very soon.
Alpha-1 (very first, very closed and very intimate)
Piano Rocker is ready for a first rehearsal
I have just requested first 10 keys for a little closed alpha test.
5 are destined to land here, for people who're interested to be "early adopters" and potential OG evangelists. Leave a comment under this post, and i will approach you once I receive the steam keys.
Q&A
Q: What's the purpose of this closed alpha?
A: Two reasons:
- I want to test the first builds running on different platforms and setups
- I would like to build a group of active community members, that would provide me with feedback
Q: What's the planned outcome?
The feedback I hope to get will contribute to "better" early access version..
Q: Is it free to participate?
A: Of course it's free. Alpha keys will be revoked once the early access version is out , but worry not - i plan to send gift keys to all active community members
Q: What's in this release?
You can play a few built-in easy charts on a midi-compatible device of your choice (twinkle twinkle little star and happy birthday - confirmed).
also, you can and very encouraged to experiment with custom chart files, some basic skinning/color customizations and so on
Where can i provide feedback / ask more questions?
Everyone who'll get a key - will get an invitation to the early adopters discord (i'll just text you in steam for further details)
If you haven't made it in first 5 - please don't worry. Once we kick it off - there's gonna be a public discord server too, presumably with regular updates, and in general i am planning further test phases, so i'm sure you will be able to participate further on.
Still, if you feel like there's something urgent that has to be said - leave it under this post, i'll make sure to keep an eye on discussion.
