Clone Hero V1.1 Reveal - Major fixes, new songs, new launcher and LEADERBOARDS

The release of Clone Hero’s V1 update was supposed to mark the end of feature development and the start of long-term support for the game. But after the closure of ScoreSpy, the community had expressed a strong desire to have something replace it, as it was a driving force for many people to play Clone Hero.

Takas 4 Tourneys (Saturday Cup Update)

An Update for our competitive players:

The Saturday Cup from last month’s news post has found a new home in Taka’s 4 Tourneys Discord Server! On Saturdays at 20:00 UTC, everyone is invited to join a 1v1 bracket. Players will be battling it out on a 15-20 minute chart compiled of multiple songs that have been stripped of star power, so hitting notes is all that matters. It’s published only 30 minutes prior, so no massive amounts of preparation are necessary (or even possible). Every week the amount and type of difficulty can change drastically, so make sure to keep an eye out every week!

Every 5th week the cup runs a special edition with different rules to shake things up. Sometimes the twists are small, other times it can be a completely unheard of type of competition. Anything goes!

For further information, join the server! This week, the tournament goes into its 57th installment.

As a last note, Taka’s 4 Tourneys will host 3 more tournament formats in the future, so be on the lookout for future tournaments!

On the Lack of Communication

I recognize it’s been a while since we’ve given the community a proper update. There is no doubt in any of our minds that we should be aiming for more consistency with this kind of communication, and while we have our long list of excuses, shedding some light on what the team currently has going on as well as what we have in store will hopefully clear up some of the frustrations you guys rightfully have.

Dev Blog #3: ExileLord Rants

So one thing I’ve wanted to talk to the community about for a while is the new input system we’re working on in PNH. So before I go into detail on that, let me talk about the input system in Clone Hero, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and pretty much every other game there is. I’m also just going to say Clone Hero from now on instead of “every other game out there” for the sake of brevity.

v0.21.7

Happy new year! This is our New Year’s release. To 2019!

Dev Blog #2: Where's the news!?

As you are aware, it has certainly been quite a while since the last blog post where we announced our intentions of starting a new project and moving towards something better. Since then, both a lot has happened, and not a lot has happened. We know we have been very quiet about things, and, to be truthful, we don’t have a ton to show everyone at this point. We certainly don’t want to reveal all of our cards at this point, as we think there will be some fierce competition out there :)

v0.21.6

Use this build if you have issues with v0.21.7 and need to revert.
