Hey Skaters! 

Today marks the launch of a relatively large patch that will touch most sections of the game.  This patch is the first in a series that will move Beat Skater toward being a more straightforward and self contained experience that receives content additions and expansions rather than content replacement. Today's patch will aim at changing the  progression system to be less season oriented.

As just mentioned, the most significant of today's changes being the complete removal of the seasonal content system, being replaced with a more traditional streamlined progression system. Get through 30 reputation ranks to unlock all of the game's currently available songs, most of the game's available boards, and heaps of obstacles to pop off on!  

Going along with this, the current shop system has been disabled in game while it is being worked on for the next major patch. 

Past that, movement consistency has been improved, a new LTM has been added, and much more! Read the full patch notes below.

Gameplay

• Players will fall through the ground less often
• Movement less likely to be randomly shaken or pushed
• Notes have been added as collectable score boosters in-game
• The old LTM, Gotta Go Fast, has been vaulted! Expect it to possibly return someday.
• A new LTM, Beat Shuffle, has been added. The game will choose a song from ALL of the game's music, even if not unlocked!

UI

• The Shop System has been put on the backburner and is currently inaccessible. It'll be back, don't worry!
• Infographic pop ups have been added to LTMs and ads for more explanation
• Gameplay UI text elements have been altered to look more pleasing
• The Season Button has been removed from the main menu, being replaced with the Progression Button
• Text scaling has been added to multiple in game prompts to be less intense
• The customization menu has been touched up to avoid intersecting objects

Progression

• The Seasonal System has been fully removed from the game, being replaced with the Progression System
• Starting at Reputation Rank 1, Skaters can work their way through 30 levels of content. 
• The full progression unlocks feature 4 boards, 10 songs and 15 obstacles. All available for free to all players!

As this is meant to be an expandable system, please keep us updated with how progression rate feels and the like. This system will likely be expanded into larger reputation ranks as the game grows with more content so any feedback now will aid in how the system looks going forward. Thank you so much for the time!
