- STREAM KEY - 14 March 2019
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

- NEW DRUM CUES !!!! - 15 February 2019
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 VRhttps://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31267329%2F2e3702b09025e57ae48f8c543c54475c9bbb8e0c.png 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.....https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31267329%2F021dd47ba9ce7747e0e813a938227085342308ab.png
- New Guitar Handling Mode - 21 December 2018
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 - 21 December 2018
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.

- CUSTOMIZATION UPDATE - 4 October 2018
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 - 1 September 2018
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 - che…

- AUDIO GAMEPLAY FAQ - 11 December 2017
In Early Access, we are only tested on standard Vive audio systems. External audio systems may cause gameplay to not function. Please note - our music gameplay system is separate to our regular audio. So you may hear sounds, or move around, but not be able to initiate gameplay. Here are some FAQs and you can always contact us at [email protected] 1) I can not hear any audio: Check your Windows (PC) Audio Setting for Playback devices (through the Windows Control panel). Sometimes it needs not just the Vive or Rift to be Enabled, but another device to be Disabled. 2) The game can not hear my voice when I grab the mic: Check your Windows (PC) Audio Setting for Record devices (through the Windows Control panel). Sometimes it needs not just the Vive or Rift to be Enabled, but another device to be Disabled. 3) I hear some music and sounds (eg in the Main Menu, or the Tutorial) but the mus…
