Advanced Mode beta testing in progress!
Different Folks
Heyo Mixtapers!
We have a fun update for our advanced users today!
We realize a lot of people who get into 10 Second Mixtape more deeply wish there was a bit more freedom around creating tracks.
With that in mind we have created our first prototype for what we are currently calling "Advanced Mode".
- This mode does not feature the same song creation flow as the standard "play" mode. The main difference being that the game takes you straight to the tape deck where you can select any instrument you want to use and any partner as well!
- Currently you can have a total of 10 tracks in your song. This means if you wanted to lay down 5 or 6 of your own tracks and only have a couple partners it’s totally possible!
- When it comes to selecting partners there are some cool features as well. By default, the game will show you a random assortment of potential partners, but you can filter by instrument and even input links to specific parts you have found in the game!
A couple notes
- The final screen before you finish a track is also undergoing a remake and is currently a bit jank. Please bear with us on this as we develop it further.
- Some things in Advanced Mode are likely broken or a little unintuitive to use so feel free to let us know your thoughts. We wanted to get it into people’s hands as soon as possible.
Availably on release
- Just like "Different Strokes" we plan for "10 Second Mixtape" to be a free game with a low-priced premium feature. Advanced mode is planned to be that premium feature.
- So when 10 Second Mixtape launches, we will likely take down the demo and have the game go up as free on the main page with advance mode locked as a DLC.
