We hit 30,000 registrations today, with a bit of help from the sudden surge of people from VGCats. Quite a large milestone, although the 10k jumps are starting to become more of an everyday occurrence the further we go! Anyways, I do actually have something to say, which is that the next public release should be hitting your PCs within the next 4 or 5 days, depending on progress. This will feature a number of improvements including but not limited to:

  1. The ability to view your personal online record for each beatmap from in-game.
  2. New layout for the song selection screen.
  3. A new mod - Flashlight Mod. Quite possibly the most challenging mod to come!
  4. Progressive ranking displayed during breaks.
  5. New editor functionality.
  6. Multiplayer match setup improvements.
  7. Better support for Asian Language input.
  8. Improvements to the osu! default skin, including a new spinner and slider follow circle.
  9. A mirage barrage of bug fixes.
I hope this gets you excited.

How would people (and especially peppy) feel if I started regularily making videos of new features in the test to show them off to others before they are released? This would of course be done with the disclaimer that anything might still change before being released to the public.

I'm neutral on this one. I won't stop you as long as you don't provide false hopes or expose potential bugs.

Wouldn't that technically be a good thing?

Usually not. Testers are generally under the agreement that they won't abuse bugs they find. If they are made public, it could cause more widespread abuse of such bugs, which are also present in the public release in some way.

I'm talking about testers making videos of bugs they have found - I don't approve of this even if it has a weird/funny effect on the game that they would like to share.

A mirage of bug fixes.
So you haven't really fixed the bugs? It's an illusion?

I've been waiting for this update for a while. The personal best and flashlight mod are both features I've really been wanting.

I wasn't going to publish bug related videos, I was talking about making videos of new features and skin changes. I guess it's ok then, so I'll spend a little time to post videos whenever there's something worthwhile to show.

I hope that some of the editor improvements include retractable buttons and bars, so that there will be more room to place beats. :)

Thanks peppy for all your hard work!

It's generally not recommended to place beats outside the grid.
