QR Tips for sharing songs/stages
Greetings, composers!
Here's a link we have some user generated content already:
LINK Before you put up your Composition Mode songs for others, keep this information in mind.
So how does this work?
It's simple--songs in Tadpole Treble's Composition Mode can be shared between players using QR Codes. As you create the song, the QR Code in the bottom/center of the screen will change accordingly. Once you're ready to share it, post screenshots and tell fellow Tadpoles to play your Song/Stage!
Okay, I have a QR Code in the game. Now what?
You can extract the Code for online sharing by saving it to your computer, or (less ideally) taking a photo of it with your phone or other device. While most web cameras can read photos of QR Codes from phones, you'll want to get a direct-feed image whenever possible for best results. On a PC or Mac, this would mean saving your image directly to your computer, then simply image-posting it here on Steam using the Img tab.
I have a larger song that requires multiple QR Codes. What to do?
Players can share up to seven QR Codes per song depending on the song size. If you have a larger song, be sure to post all the QR Codes for it within the same post! Otherwise, people will just get chunks of your song, and song chunks don't make anyone happy.
How do I play other people's songs?
In Composition Mode, click the Load button, and then select the From Camera option. At that point, the camera will start up and allow you to scan the QR Code yourself. For the Composition Mode Demo online, this requires a webcam and a secondary device to read the Code.
If you have any questions, let us know. Happy composing!
May 6th
Hello backers--
Okay! So we have one final announcement regarding the Steam launch, and here it is. Yes, despite our best efforts, we need a tiny amount more time. We apologize for bringing in this two week delay in the eleventh hour, but this is it! An ironclad, set-in-stone, world 8-4, final boss's final one-winged form, definitely, definitively FINAL release date for Steam: May 6th!
I feel bad about springing this on you guys so late however we do have a discount. The Steam game will launch at a 20% discount! Tadpole Treble will retail for $9.99 (although it cost $7 through this Kickstarter), but release date purchases will have a slashed price to only $7.99! Good for if you want to buy for a friend.
New Fan-Made Video
We made a video about our fans who created songs using our Composition Mode!
