Are you on the Trello? If so, you should be able to go to mural from there, but if not, it's gonna be in a previous post

Secondary announcement for Project S - new name and new features coming / release date / potential secondary engine (?) / performance report / bug report
S.P.K.N.R.E.
(Soundwave Productions Key Note Recorder Engine)

as a clearup, this will not be the primary engine, just the creator engine. It will not be able to play its maps but rather needs to export to another project for reading. I may plan to add playtesting in the future (as a variation of recording overlay), but no current plans for that.

Release by Date: May 10th
As far as actual updates go, I have added some more stuff from the previous checklist.

Performance benchmarking
(Tested on 5 computers with varying strength)
1 - School Chromebook (Chrome OS, Chrome)
 Honestly not too bad as long as you don't "see inside". A little difficult to work with when all scripts are cached, and especially hard to modify notes when all is cached. 
2 - Low-end Desktop Computer (Windows 7, Chrome)
 Works like the Chromebook. Hard to work with, mainly because of the outdated mouse. No extended test was performed. 
3 - Mid-end Desktop Computer (Windows 10, Chrome, slightly less powerful than #2)
 Works flawlessly, but does seem to struggle with moving notes. Not sure why this is. 
4 - High-end Desktop Computer (Windows 10, Opera GX)
 Works flawlessly. Nothing more to say, there are no performance drops anywhere. The experience was virtually the same as #3. No extended test was performed. 
5 - Mobile (Android OS v14 i think, Chrome)
 unusable 


Bugs
Not many, but heres a couple that I found
  • Grid misalignment with render at high/low grid spacing (i think I know why)
  • Moved note deletion beyond gridbox threshold
  • Compile not actually compiling sometimes
  • Deadzone slide - note comparision sometimes not correctly detecting a note

After today, I will be on spring break, beginning the 1-2 week hiatus. See you guys then!

Phew! That's a lot. Good work so far, Jared, and thanks for your tremendous work. May 10th is doable - to the rest, let's try to get the RPG aspect down by then along with the characters and SFX. Have a good spring break, Jared.

Is this with the Mural website? There is a simple fix, there is a mural app <3

Is there anything a coder could do?
Announcements again:

The Mural Initial Check has been completed with several people missing. As a reminder, Trello will no longer be usable by early April. I will reach out later to those missing. For the ones of you who are unable to access Mural, don't worry about it. Though please try to get access.

Once you access Mural, send a message in the Main Kanban chat with your Scratch username. I don't know you guys personally and if you use a different username than your Scratch one, I don't know who you are.

I'm sorry I haven't been crazy active over this recently, but with household projects, SWC, and a whole lotta other stuff, it's kinda tough. Thanks for being understanding, guys, and let's keep up the good work.

No background noise(no obvious ones at least-) and you sound fine. I think with some fine tuning you can fly high. Hired! Please check yourself in on Trello and Mural. Both links in the designing thread.

Hey man! Yes there are plenty of things in the backlog. If you have experience with RPG's you could begin there. We need an entire engine. Please be free to follow Griffpatche's rpg tutorial as it is one of his best ones.

Jaskel went ahead and did the player movement. He's working on the cutscene triggers right now.
I don't know how many times I have to say this, but…

There will be no combat in the game. Whether combat through the classic RPG style, or through playing songs in the rhythm game.

Nice, alright. I moved all of the kanban tasks from Trello to Mural, so feel free to start updating Mural.

No worries - take as much time as necessary. This isn't a sweatshop.

I have migrated all the kanban tasks from Trello to Mural! Start using Mural, please, and if I missed anything let me know. Also, I need someone to take lead and migrate all of the media files over to the respective mural.

pen or clone? we'd need a pen only as there's not enough clones for an RPG game. I could check it out and edit it to be optimized and fit our situation.

You're technically just in here as a singer and VA… If you want to design, that's fine too, just let me know so I can solidify it. But I'd like to get the voice demos from everyone.

I remade my account, though it isn't loading, but I'm going to keep trying and I'll keep you updated

I updated the main project, Kokoro Beats, so that it…kinda… I don't know. Check it out - it's to help better visualize the essentials stuff. And to add in music. The songs are temporary - we'll replace them as we get more soundtracks.
And also, I'd like the vocal demos by the end of the week, this Saturday. If you need an extension, let me know.

When this is finished, maybe we can make a trailer, showcasing gameplay and stuff. I can then post it on my yt as long as it's pretty short - It will take like two hours to upload a five-minute video so if we could keep the trailer short… That would be great.
Also, do I need to do a vocal demo?

Trailer? Alright! That sounds like a great idea, actually.

And yes, since you're a singer and VA. I want a singing demo and line demo.
