VR Pianist

'Music, reality, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference' (D12 - When the music stops) Playing the piano in virtual reality was new to me and surprisingly fun! Can I now apply this to a real piano? Yes, but it won't really allow me to play a completely complicated song. VR Pianist is a rhythmic VR game, you choose the song you want to do and the difficulty. (easy, normal, hard) based on the difficulty level you will have to press more or less keys to get a final score. Here you can see an example of 'Beethoven - Für Elise' on hard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P975DqLlPg You will have to choose music from three different styles, the game also has some small objectives so that you can unlock extra songs. These objectives are simply to finnish a number of songs. Once you have done a series of objectives you will also end up in another location. These locations can also be colored in for some visual effects according to your accuracy during the sessions.

It has easy, normal, and hard difficulties. Several songs are unlocked until you do good enough to unlock the rest. I had a difficult time telling exactly what I was doing wrong to unlock songs though. The best I could do (whether Easy or Hard) is a little over 50% score when you need to score at least 70% to unlock songs. This game definitely needs a better way to indicate exactly when to hit the notes. I think I know Ludwig Van's 5th symphony pretty good, not as well as the 9th, but still pretty good. Yet for whatever reason, I wasn't getting scored highly with the notes on time. Also, the keys weren't always as responsive as I would have liked, especially when playing songs on my own. Game is in Early Access though, so hopefully those things get patched up. Game is running on the Unity Engine. On m…

controls are kinda crap it's super clunky and doesnt feel right playing. notes take too long to be ready to be tapped? or like the thingy takes too long and it makes the buttons hard to time. can only really play with one finger at a time and just isnt as fun as it looks.
