Riff VR

STREAM KEY
Sorry for confusion. At launch FIRST time there is an option to enter a STREAM KEY (for YOUTUBE or TWITCH) so that you can turn those streams off and on from in-game.
Just use your in-game Controller-pointer to hit CANCEL button.


It's NOT asking for a Steam Key.

Sorry

TOOLS ! and WORKSHOP !
OK - finally. Two tools and the start of Workshop support.

Access them by RIGHT CLICKING on RIFF VR in Steam Library.

MIDI GAMEPLAY TOOL -
Now you can make your own Drums and Guitar Gameplay tracks for your own music. You can also add the Guitar Notes for your music. This will go easier if you have some music chops!

The Gameplay tool lets you submit to Workshop and share your music, or play locally.

AND

OBJECT EXPORTER TOOL -
Put your own 3D objects in the Creative Hub Objects Menu to use in game,

Use STEAM WORKSHOP to share items you have the rights to.

Or PLAY LOCALLY with music you don't want to share with the world right now.

Remember - support@imexmedia.com

NEW DRUM CUES !!!!
Finally - a new cue system for the drums. We think it is easier and better - but please let us know what you think. We are still learning here in Early Access....

PLUS - Look for the new Environment in the Creative Hub - a Japanese street scene created entirely in VR in Oculus Quill by VR Artist Sam Luck.

And if you do like it - tell a friend! We gotta be the cheapest gameplay of this type on Steam!

And be sure to make some videos or take some screenshots - and share them on the Community Hub. The more you know.....

New Guitar Handling Mode
We are trying something new. If you are playing guitar, and use the trigger on the LEFT (Fret hand) CONTROLLER, it will lock both the left and right hand controllers to the guitar. You still move up and down the fretboard, and up and down the strings to strum, but your hands will stay locked to the guitar.
We think this will help you score better - let us know!

STEAM LEADERBOARDS
Finally! jUST IN TIME FOR XMAS.
Now there are Steam Leaderboards to display your score for every song, Drums and Guitar, every Level of Difficutly. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS! Or just feel good about beating total strangers.

Song List
Just a reminder of the great songs, original recordings we have in the game:

Modern Classics - 3 Doors Down "Kryptonite", All American Rejects "Swing, Swing", Everclear "Santa Monica", Fall Out Boy "Sugar, we're going down", X Ambassadors "Renegades", Macys Playground "Sex and Candy", Deep Blue Something "Breakfast at Tiffanys"

Classic Metal - KISS "I was made for loving you", Poison "Nothin but a Good Time", "Talk Dirty to Me", Tesla "Modern Day Cowboy", Night Ranger "Sister Christian", "Rock in America", BONUS TRACK, STADIUM ONLY - Europe "The Final Countdown"

Classic Rock - Joe Walsh "Rocky Mountain Way", Lynyrd Skynyrd "Sweet Home Alabama", The James Gang "Funk 49 ", Music Explosion "Little Bit of Soul", Grand Funk Railroad "We're an American Band", 38 Special "Hold On Loosely"

CUSTOMIZATION UPDATE
This is BIG!
Now you can enter CREATION HUB and make a custom performance environment. Watch the video to see how to work with objects, environments, paint tools, lighting and band role placement to make your own scenes.
Then play in them!
And STREAM your work.

Coming next - Steam Workshop support so you'll be able to customize all sorts of stuff.

OK people - lotsa new stuff in this UPDATE
New stuff - let me count the ways:

1 - LEVELS OF DIFFICUTLY - for Guitar and Drums. Now Easy, Medium and the (old) Hard versions. About three quarters of the Drums LODs are in and a third of the Guitar LODs. The rest should be rolling in over the coming two weeks. Slightly different User Flow on starting a song - Select Artist, Selet the Song (so it is highlighted), then LOD, then Start.

2 - New GUITAR HANDLING - With the guitar locked to you, use the fret hand controller trigger while playing. The avatar hand will stay locked to the guitar neck as you slide it up and down. Center the fret hand finger in the color coded zone for gameplay.

3 - LIVE STREAMING - Built into the game! Input your Livestream Key and then you can turn it OFF and ON from IN-GAME. Can also choose webcam source as overlay in the Main Menu LiveStreaming Config icon. Share your gameplay!

4 - Couple new AVATARs - check out the DJ Zombie and the Squid!

5 - AUDIO FIXES - Hopefully we have sorted all the bugs and crashes from various bitrate speakers and headsets!

Note - for Livestreaming the dekstop display on your PC is set to the In-Game camera display, but that is changeable from a button on the Main Menu in the LiveStreaming Config icon.

Another Bug Fix update pushed
We pushed an update to fix issues with Start/Stop of songs, and failed exits to the Main Menu using the Home icon.

Keep letting us know about problems - we are working on fixing all of them!

Another Update
We have fixed the bug preventing the drumsticks and microphone from using the volume and drum height sliders.

We have also started putting facial motion capture on the lead singer - look for it in songs like "Sex and Candy" and "Rocky Mountain Way". More coming.
