Today’s update brings a visualizer mode! It builds a kaleidoscope lightshow from any skin. I also did a lot of work on the song selector this week - adding a recent songs list and a list of random songs.

Another Friday, another bag of Audiosurf 2 candy!

resistance

This is a skin I did to show two really powerful skinning techniques added to the game this week. The first is morphing. Now skins can include morph targets for meshes to make them animate with the music! The other is mesh tracks. Now skins can build track surfaces with meshes instead of only through scripting. These meshes can be any size and the game will repeat them through the entire song, shaping them to the track. The tube of hexagons in resistance is an example.

Hyperstar

This is one of the most beautiful and thorough skins I’ve seen so far. The modeling work is gorgeous. New ship, new wakeboard, new blocks, new ending shape, and tons of new textures. A wakeboard favorite of mine and great in other modes too!



Also! there was an update a couple days ago including support for Apple lossless audio:

Added ALAC (Apple lossless) song support so now all .m4a files will work as long as iTunes is installed Added WAV song file support Mods and Skins: added in-game comment buttons that open workshop in the steam overlay Mods: Fixed a memory leak

It’s Friday! So, new mods – and this week the theme is dodging

Evasion

First up is Evasion by HyperGeek. Bullet hell for your music. The bullet patterns are timed to the music brilliantly. It’s awesome when a wave of bullets comes flying from the side and you can almost see the lyric that launched them. Everyone should give this one a try.

Audiosphere

My mod for this week is also a dodging thing, but this time you’re on the surface of a sphere. The inspiration was to save the last dinosaur by evading incoming meteors - it’s all abstract now though. It’s pretty hard, but there’s usually a way to sneak past the incoming walls of bullets since they come in arcs.

Oct 22

Added ability to delete and unsubscribe from mods and skins from within the game 
Smoothed camera rotations (especially noticeable in mods like Twisted Mono)
Song browser now more responsive when getting metadata for a large number of song files 
Song browser now displays larger album art 
Mod: Added ability to force match clear immediately 
Skin: Added ability to load powerup models 
Song library now stored at cache/db 
Blocks flatten as they enter the grid

Mono Midway

I’m planning to release a new Audiosurf 2 mod every Friday and here’s the first - Mono Midway! It brings two things to the normal mono mode: loops (like a rollercoaster) and power pellets. When you collect a power pellet, the blocks for some seconds after it are upgraded into power blocks. Collecting those gives you bonus points based on how full your grid is. It uses technology from Wakeboard mode to place pellets and loops right at impactful moments in the music. Have fun!

Pointman Elite

Also, community members have re-created Pointman Elite in Audiosurf 2! You can catch blocks and store them to drop at a better time. Nice work Jagori and Passerby!
