Very slight change is that in the tutorial, gf‘s animations play all the way through instead of her going back to her idle in between arrows

[@Goobitle]

Every character had that happen but gf was the last character to have that fixed.

[@IIIDynamix]

​@@GoobitleProbably the song was too slow and there was a time limit to change to the idle animation

[@MarcusGronkowski]

Also Daddy Dearest’s left animation was finally fixed

1. in tutorial, bf and gf naturally hold their poses until they hit the next note 2. bopeebo was replaced by a beta version of the track, it was more than the vocals 3. guns got a rechart (and maybe some other songs?)

[@jvgonzalez90]

I think DD’s second song and monster got it as well. Also I struggle with Guns more now

Notes become ghostly if you hit a note but get a "bad" or "shit" rating for it, since it also counts as a combo break

[@jaden8923]

I was wondering why i hit notes but it still said i didnt

[@eljaminlatour6633]

Also, "Philly" which is the 2nd song in Week 3, has been renamed to "Philly Nice".

[@gabiwolf1439]

Not rlly renamed More like The full name finally appears

[@Yume-AW]

It was always called Philly Nice, but I think to save space they called it Philly.

[@Caliber_1579]

​@@Yume-AW I remember PhantomArcade saying it was because he was too lazy to draw a comma in the font, so they just called it Philly instead of Philly, Nice

for the first week only, bf and daddy dearest were just pitched up/low pitched vocals of the same voice clip but the new bobeebo (soundtrack version) fixed that.

[@mikethompson1653]

Yeah I noticed that too

I can't wait till somebody makes a greenscreen for that new sticker transition

you can't make a greenscreen since pico's icon is green

3:10 Fun fact: Skid and Pump's "yeah!" Animation was a scrapped one back in 2020-2023 (Monster was also a scrapped song until Tankman update came out)

[@alexitoideal]

1:08 Pico changed his rotation from passing when looking from the right to the left

[@Keynax]

The song "guns" in week 7 was recharted

[@cat_of_artichoke9770]

oh my God is that why i found it so much harder recently

[@dudeontheinternet8615]

if you wait around long enough on freeplay, animations will play around BF's speakers (such as DD appearing behind him, BF watching TV, etc). At the start screen, you can press Y and the window will actually move around in a figure-eight. This stacks, so you can press Y multiple times and watch the window fly all over the screen. Also, you can press this sequence, ⬅➡⬅➡⬆⬇⬆⬇, and the screen will be rainbow-ish, also new music will play. Wait around there and the promo for a BF figurine will play. On Weekend 1, there are actually different death animations based on how you died (hp down to zero, hit with spraycan, etc.) There is also a unique death animation in Blazin'.

[@insertenombreramdom1150]

They also fix daddy dearest left pose, now it had more that one frame

[@emmag6954]

For number 12 I'm rather disappointed that they changed the shot to not really be as dramatic. Not sure why they would make this change.

[@anonymousfall]

I'm hoping it's just a bug with the cutscene playing out

[@emmag6954]

@@anonymousfall me too.

[@snatch6129]

its prob a bug considering how the camera just teleports now

[@cipenate8549]

pretty sure they also changed the charting for guns too, i played on hard mode and i noticed a bit of a change but idk if they changed the charting for anything else. rlly cool update tho

[@giftbean]

3:09 do you not know the names for those two?? 😭😭

[@eae_gay_Ta_tao_serio_pq]

On the start screen (not the menu with the merch and stuff) if you press Left Right (2x) Up Down (2x) (just like the tutorial) the music changes

[@mcxopjesh]

I believe there have been chart reworks. I can't name many since i mostly just played the new stuff, but i can confirm at least Guns was changed, which I'm mixed on. I'm not sure if it's just that I'm not used to it, but it feels for every thing they fixed that added something else janky.

[@KutikiPlayz]

if I had to guess, they probably removed the note splashes on pixel UIs because they're either still working on pixel sprites for note splashes and sustain things, or they're doing what psych engine does and working on a shader that pixelizes the already existing sprites or maybe they just don't want them to be in the pixel UIs at all

[@Gaming_Lunar97]

They Changed The Charting In Guns From Week 7

[@TimoXtheMilkman]

btw guns got recharted and offsets for tankman got fixed and they also fixed the engine offering a better input system and missed notes become ghosts when you miss em

[@whact]

3:27 also the camera now goes to the Lemon Demon before he starts singing (it's probably glitched)

[@davidnsilva6082]

I love how the new song editor looks like adobe animate

[@CalicoStudiosOFFICIALOwner]

I like the idea that the notes fall to the floor when a song is restarted

[@mightybr1]

fun fact: the spooky kids anim was there unused since they were created

[@nitro9761]

a solid update from this game ngl. i see why it took so long

[@TheFiryDev]

Very small change too, Spookeez vocals are finally synced with the inst

[@justamicrowave5297]

Not sure if this would count but pico erect got changed from the erect sampler (which was the erect song teasers we got a couple months ago). Also, this may have been fixed with an earlier update and I just never noticed, but monster’s animations are fixed now, so his right pose plays when he hits a right arrow now. The “ok” rating is also completely gone now. It’s just sick, good, bad, shit, and miss.

[@asfef-f9-iq32]

Week's 7 second song got buffed

[@FlanCakes]

There's also controller support and it detects , Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox , and generic layouts automatically so default UI/select changes depending on ur controller Also the layout it's basically just double dpads on ur buttons , and is really solid ( I always used joy to key to play so it was a nice change )

[@exile.sensei_]

bopeboo sounding like its old version made me happy lol

[@luckytt1925]

Bro, this is actually 🔥🔥

[@DxNitro_Real]

when hitting long notes at first it'll be at like instant score but now it'll count up to you're score when hittin long notes

[@fred8422]

charting on guns was changed. i like it a lot better now

[@IncredibleLuigi]

2:41 wished that stayed the same

[@Jusu831]

Same :/

[@mizosis]

one pet peeve of mine that i hope is fixed eventually is how mommy must murder's (or mommy mearest) hair shading is still kind of messed up. it clips through other parts of her hair, which is possible because a lot of these animations are done with tweening and each part is separated by layers. i'm also sad the little henchmen animation where they get ripped apart by the ongoing pole wasn't added, i hope it wasn't scrapped because it was really funny to see the animation sprites in the files of the old version. otherwise, super happy with the updates and i'm excited for the full game to eventually release.

[@HarvB7Magoo]

3:11 "YEAH!" *shadders the screen*

[@dunktastic]

Idk if im the only one who noticed but pico stands closer to bf, and his down sprite seems out of place too (like he shifts to the right a bit)

[@dontyoudare69]

The transition is new as far as I can tell

[@toastehh]

New credits stuff! :D

[@steve2lmao]

I hope they revamp the story menu because it kinda sucks😭

[@DaCreww24]

Ig im the only who realized that the score goes up by 1's fast when holding a note instead of it only adding score once. (Since i suck at explaning, if you want to know more about this, go to 1:51, and on the hold notes, look at the score.)

[@FluffyForklift]

the fade animation in older versions was replaced with stickers that fill the screen then delete themselves

[@miaoulement]

im kinda sad they removed the character animations for long notes, i always really liked those

[@Jansdumbalt]

If you're idle in the freeplay menu for a few minutes, Boyfriend will sit on the panel thingy and watch TV! (This is a minor thing) And, after you go back to the menu when you see the results, there's a new sticker outro! (Minor change)

[@Mao-zedong-cat]

Oh wow, it finally updated, and in the time of the update, 2324568 mods were made.

[@glmy779]

Long notes are giving points while pressing them

[@ackietoons4250]

Fun Fact: You can press Q and E in the Freeplay Menu to access different categories for tracks as well as favourited songs. (You can add a song to the Favourites library by pressing F on it) Like if this helped

the notes pulsing at the drop of M.I.L.F have been intensified which actually made this section harder lol

2:41 that's disappointing, i liked the poses when they jittered. Idk why

[@i_like_AMONGUS_]

how do i open the chart editor? im not that much of an expert when it comes to fnf

[@Tony10berrios]

They've not only remade songs but playing a song and missing your notes the enemy doesn't studder with the singing since there vocals are on a different sound track.

[@kirkmineblox3065]

[@AndroEnergenic]

Idk if anyone notices but Guns has been recharted a bit. cus there is a part when you can do double notes instead
