New song added to Steno Hero + gameplay improvements!

We've released Steno Arcade version 1.1.8, which includes a new Steno Hero song and some general gameplay improvements. Details below:

We've added the song "The Standing Ones" by Hungry Lucy under "Very Easy" difficulty.
Cut down the instrumental intro in "Sunday Smiled" by Hungry Lucy to allow the player to more quickly begin play.
Cut down the instrumental intro in "I Think I Started a Trend" by Brad Sucks to allow the player to more quickly begin play.

What's next? We're currently working on another update that will introduce two more "Very Easy" songs from artists not currently in the game. Stay tuned!

Two new songs added to Steno Hero!

We've released Steno Arcade version 1.1.7, which includes two new Steno Hero songs and a minor bug fix. Details below: We've added two new, "Very Easy" songs to Steno Hero:

"Sunday Smiled" by Hungry Lucy
"I Think I Started a Trend" by Brad Sucks

We know that many have been complaining about the difficulty of the songs in Steno Hero, so we've added these two new tracks in the hopes of making the game more accessible. Let us know what you think. Bug fixes:

Fixed a crash that was caused when the user pressed specific keys in-game.

We're also aware of a bug that's causing Steno Arcade to crash on start-up. It's affecting a very small number of players which is making it difficult to troubleshoot, but we hope to have the matter resolved in our next update.

Steno Arcade is a suite of four arcade games designed to teach and drill steno and keyboarding fundamentals in an immersive, addictive, responsive, and interactive way. Steno Arcade is 100% free and open source and works with any steno machine or keyboard.

The Early Access build of Steno Arcade includes one of the four games in the suite, Steno Hero! Imagine your favorite rhythm games, but instead of pressing buttons that vaguely emulate the original instruments, you're hitting steno chords or keyboard keys to precisely and accurately produce the lyrics to your favorite music! It's like singing karaoke with your fingers! Steno Hero currently includes seven songs, with more to be added over time:

“Sunday Smiled” by Hungry Lucy
“The Standing Ones” by Hungry Lucy
“I Think I Started a Trend” by Brad Sucks
“I’m Your Moon” by Jonathan Coulton
“Mandelbrot Set” by Jonathan Coulton
“That Spells DNA” by Jonathan Coulton
“I Feel Fantastic” by Jonathan Coulton

While Steno Arcade is designed to be played with a steno machine, it can also be looked at as a traditional typing game that can be played with any standard keyboard. You only need an NKRO (N-key rollover) keyboard if you intend to learn stenography and want to play the game using steno. For example, the slower, easier songs in Steno Hero are perfectly playable using a standard keyboard, but when you get to the faster, harder songs you may find yourself having trouble keeping up with a standard keyboard and will need to use steno if you want to complete the songs with a high level of accuracy and precision.
