Wanted to drop a quick dev update about what I've been working on doing the last week, and what will be coming up soon for the game.

So doing roughly the last 1.5 weeks, I've been focusing on optimizing the server and login process, to help reduce situations where the servers get overloaded and people can't play or login.
One of the thing this will add is a login queue, not a limit to how many players can be online, but how many can log in at once. This should never be a long wait, and it's mainly to solve the issue where a sudden influx of players (for example after a server restart) is preventing everyone from login as the database is getting overloaded.

If all goes as plan, the login queue and other server optimization will go live early next week.


Once that patch is finished, I hope to shift focus to a new endless and unlimited size quiz room, which will function a bit like the boss event room from the 6-year anniversary. But instead of utilizing the boss mode, it'll pick songs based on the players lists in the game, with different modifiers (for example, only specific genres or tags), that players can vote on every 20th songs.
The idea is to create a large always public room, you can jump into a play whenever you just want to get some songs in without having to look for a public room.
I'm still working out the last details for this, but I really hope to be able to roll it out before the end of the month.
On a side note, the optimization changes mentioned earlier and format of the room, will make it, so this room won't lag out the entire game like the boss event did.

That's it for this update, if you would like to see more of updates such as this, make sure to let me know, and I might make this a semiregular thing =)

Getting to hear about the progress behind the scenes is always nice.

Transparency is always good and knowing what to look forward to helps keep people interested. I like the idea of a "quick join" room so you don't have to try and join rando rooms or play solo if your friends aren't around!
