Option to start with sticks held, or pick up from drum set

[VivyBnuuy]

Hi,

There might already be a setting for this that I've missed, but is there any way to start songs holding the sticks already, or would it be possible in the future to pick them up from the drum kit instead of from our backs? I'm probably in a very tiny minority, but I have scoliosis and I just can't reach the stick on my right side, I end up spending 2-3 mins every level trying to grab it lol

Hello Winterlily,

Thanks a lot for your feedback, well It's something we never thinking about, just give us some time to implement something to avoid this kind of problems.

If the pick up was in the heaps, that will be fine? (I say that, because putting on the drums set can generate problems with some special cases)

Thanks

Hi Garage,

I wouldn't expect anyone to think about this honestly, it's not very common! The fact you are even willing to look into it is awesome :D

Honestly, anywhere that isn't on my back would be fine - Even just being able to turn around and seeing the sticks floating where my "back" should be would be fantastic - Whatever is easiest for your team to implement and makes the most sense.

This is beautiful.. Bought the game, just because of moments like this.

Just wanted to add something for your sake Winterlily, I've noticed that I can put my hands directly on my chest and then lean back a little, that seems to get the hands within reach of the sticks and I can grab them without reaching behind me. It's something to try out and see if that helps you until a new setting gets added to help you! :)

Hi, I tried the demo and quite liked the gameplay!
But something about the sticks kinda ruins my experience and hands:
With the "hold" option, I grip the Index capacitive hard so they don't drop involuntary,
With the "toggle" option, I still have to grip hard so I don't toggle again and drop them.
This makes my hands hurts after 2 songs

I think an option to have them always in our hands during the songs is indispensable like in BeatSaber.
(It may be part of the gameplay to drop them ? I only played some levels in the demo)

We are already holding controllers, no need to press them
Congratulations on the game, it's fun :)

Hi Rocker!

We are currently studying an extra grab mode that makes the drumstick keep sticked at your hand but more harder to drop.

For now we recommend toggle mode but if you want to keep them and not accidently drop them at the Overlay Menu of Steam VR you can remap the "grab drumstick" button to a different button.

Hope you like the game, we are always listening the community for improvements.

Hi, since you can spawn multiple drumsticks (in the case of you dropping them during a song), I'd recommend grabbing a stick from your left side, feeding it to your right hand, and then grabbing your second stick from the left side again.

Alternatively, I've noticed that I can put my controllers on my chest and grab the drumsticks as well.

Hope that helps!

yes please! :) index plus vive wands here..the grip button is killing me ;)

Hi rockers! There is now a drumstrick summoning mode in options that allows you to summon the drumsticks directly on your hands by simply holding down the grip button. You can find this option in settings -> usability -> drumstrick summoning aid
With this mode enabled it will be easier for you to grab the sticks with the devices that have precision problems in the back.
