Hey everyone, this one is a bit of a bigger one. This update introduces a community requested feature (currently in experimental state) and a bit of small quality of live improvements and smaller changes. This patch also introduces a new music pack, featuring ReeK / Asatsumei.
Reek is a German EDM producer mostly known for his his non-genre-specific and intense tracks. Three songs introduced in this pack provide a lot of variety, but they have one thing in common, they're fast. These songs are: Rave Party (ft. L4hee) - https://soundcloud.com/reek_wobs/rave-party-ft-l4hee Galaxy Collision - https://soundcloud.com/reek_wobs/reek-galaxy-collision-from-thx-for-xx-years A Day At The Arcade - https://soundcloud.com/reek_wobs/reek-a-day-at-the-arcade-from-cynthetic-collective-retrogenisis Map set accompanying these bangers is the most difficult one in Twin Edge by quite a margin. These maps will feature complex patterns, fast streams and [REDACTED]. You probably won't beat them on your first try... I suggest getting used to them with No-Fail or Easy mutators enabled. Changelog:

• Waveform in the Timing section of the editor now has 8 times as much detail, which should make timing easier. (sometimes the ending of a song doesn't match the audio perfectly, but the rest of the song should be still good).
• Added an experimental new feature to the editor. Experimental because there are and will be bugs and/or unintended behaviour with it. Currently the only known bug is putting parts of that feature before the first note in a map breaks the game a little bit.
• Rotation speed limits changed from 30-200 to 10-400.
• If the first color transition is an instant (0 second) one, the song will start from the beginning with that color instead.
• Menu mouse cursor has been changed, because the previous one was too similar to one particular circle clicking game and didn't serve the same purpose.
• Bottom timeline in the editor now offsets depending on the song offset.
• Note timeline (the one where you edit the actual song) now culls note visuals less aggressively. In non technical terms there will be no more beat lines disappearing when they should be visible.
• If the first object in the map (an event, a note or [REDACTED]) is more than 10 seconds in, an option appears to skip that wait period.
• (Bugfix) Fixed a break happening in the middle of a hold note when there was a hold end and a hold start on the same millisecond.

Be sure to report any bugs over at the Discord server (and I'm sure there will be some): [url=https://discord.gg/cgzCKPtKey]

Hey everyone! Since the release I've been working on a couple stuff and I'm ready to showcase them in this patch! Game:

• Quick restart key now shows a circle which fills and restarts if it's fully filled
• You can now press esc in the menu to close floating windows (such as the achievement window)
• End screen now shows mutators used in the play
• Skin preview in the shop now resets to current equipped skins if you quit and reenter the shop (previously it kept the skins you were previewing)
• Hold release has slightly bigger timing window leniency now
• Added a setting for muting audio when the game is in the background
• Added a setting for toggling whether hold ends play a hitsound
• Added a setting for enabling a judgement bar during the game
• Added a global scoreboard in the song pack selection screen menu
• Added an option to toggle between friends only and global scores on leaderboards (may not work if you're using nicknames for friends on steam)

Game Bugfixes:

• Song pack menu now correctly shows last pack played every time
• Accuracy display during gameplay with No Hold now shows accurate values
• Cursor particles with a cursor skin shouldn't appear purple anymore
• The "ez" disc symbol shouldn't appear purple anymore

Editor:

• Holding alt/ctrl/shift in the editor should work more consistently
• Ctrl clicking a single selected note now unselects it if you have more selected notes
• Disabled a functionality of pasting a song event to currently selected song event, now you can only paste to event on current time, or paste to a new event if there's no event on current time
• Temp folder now gets deleted if you don't save your map and quit the editor
• A warning now shows if you try to save your map without any notes/display name/artist name/difficulty name
• If you're creating a map, and a temp folder already exists, it renames it to temp_Backup, this should in theory make it impossible to overwrite a map
• Snap/zoom levels now persist between map playtests

Editor Bugfixes:

• Changed how the custom maps are internally loaded on native linux/mac, let me know if the mac/linux editor issues still persist
• Breaks shouldn't now create when there's a hold note in their way (requires a resave if a map already has those)
• Map setup input fields (display name, etc.) now stop shortcuts from happening while you're editing them
• Particle dropdowns load correctly now with the map, previously it all defaulted to Sprinkles when you clicked them
• Multiple selection swap sides should work better now if you're trying to swap sides of two selected notes on the same time (for example if left note is a normal note and right note is a hold start)
