ReRave Arcade 1.0.4 this week!

ReRave BadgeIt’s been a very busy last couple months as I’ve worked with our software team to prepare our ReRave 1.0. 4 arcade patch for deployment this week.

Features in ReRave 1.0.4:

  • Attract time has been revamped and is now swift to attract new plays.
  • Coin debounce time improved based on location feedback
  • Improved wifi connection protocol & methods that could cause re-connections or phantom disconnections from Networks.
  • Location Name length; Machine location name can now use up to 32 characters for name entry.
  • Collection/Stats “Reset All” toggle no longer resets “Credits All-Time” value.
  • Fixed Profile “New Record” indicator on results screen from sometimes not showing when new personal records are achieved.
  • Improved motion background logic to improve frame rates during some menus
  • Huge Improvements to graphical performance and overall game-play frame rates!

Aside from these exciting improvements to the software, we’ve been working on A LOT of new music releases for the arcade & iOS.  We’ve also been following up with our player feedback via the ReRave Song Submission form.  Be sure to check it out and suggest songs that you would like to see in ReRave!

The weather continues to improve here in the Northwest for the Spring season.  It’s nice to see some sun every now and then!  🙂   OK… Back to work for me!

ChaChaChaChanges

Because of my work schedule with ReRave and Oscillator X it has left me with very little time to maintain this website.  Well… I’m going to try to change that!
Within the next few weeks I hope to finally work on this site and give it a much needed update.  It is my plan to also include more of the  “behind the scenes” of my life (for anyone who cares) so that people can get to know me better and get the inside scoop to things I work on.  Recent emails have indicated that I’m not doing a very good job of keeping people updated with “stuff.”  I’m sorry!  🙂

What does that mean?  I hope to turn this more into a personal reflection of topics and posts that relate to me or various things I work on.
Hoping to include Youtube  links and make an effort to make a weekly post.  More to come…  (hopefully)

ReRave Arcade

It’s been very difficult for me to keep this site updated and respond to message recently. My apologies to anyone who has been trying to contact me recently.

A lot of stuff going on recently which made me remember that I hadn’t mentioned ReRave Arcade on this site yet. (sheesh – too many things to keep update these days!) 🙂

I can’t emphasize how excited we are about ReRave Arcade!

Do you Remember In The Groove, In The groove 2 and Pump It Up Pro 1?  Well if you enjoyed those titles you are likely to be excited about this one as well.  Finally – working on another arcade based project!

We will be demoing the game at IAAPA 2011 in Orlando with our partners Coast to Coast Entertainment and Chris Cotty.  Our team is working hard building a lot of features that users have enjoyed from the mobile version.  Be sure to keep an eye out on www.rerave.com for updates

Step Evolution announces plans for ReRave Arcade. ReRave Arcade will be a collaboration between Coast to Coast Entertainment, Chris Cotty and the members who developed successful titles such as In The Groove and Pump It Up Pro. Chris is also responsible for the realization of notable titles: DJ Max Technika, and Friction.

ReRave combines music rhythm, as well as accuracy, to create a patent pending and innovative experience that is fun and challenging for all ages and skill levels. Game-play breaks the barrier of old fashioned “scrolling” and “matching symbols” that are typically found in rhythm games. Revolutionary movement is the name of the game!

ReRave is the first music interaction/reaction based entertainment title to feature a 42 inch multiplayer touchscreen and a global interactive ranking network.
We are excited about ReRave’s Arcade introduction and hope you will be too!

ReRave will be available at IAAPA 2011 in Orlando Florida for show attendees to check out for the first time.  Be sure to stop by the Coast to Coast Entertainment booth and check it out!

ReRave reaches #1 iPAD music game in Japan!

ReRave is off to a great start!  In just a week of time we’ve already achieved what was never thought possible.  You can get the game HERE

ReRave has reached number 1 Music Game iPAD status on the Apple App store in Japan and is currently 4th grossing Music game.  (as of 3/26/2011)

ReRave is being featured in 3 different categories: Games (overall) , Games (Music) , Games (Top Paid)

This is actually a very outstanding accomplishment to have in almost 1 week after the game release.  We have OVER 2,000 registered users in Game Center! The release continues to build as we share excitement from our past involvement with In The Groove, Pump It Up Pro, and Positive Gaming iDance2.  We never thought we’d see the day of success in Japan.  It’s a great feeling to see and a reminder that hard work does pay off.  WOOOOO!

In addition to the Japanese success we’ve accomplished other notable charts such as #1 iPAD in USA and even top grossing in other countries.  All of these small successes continue to build and help spark our development in both Amusement and Android platforms that we hope to announce at a later date.  We hope to have more advancement in these areas soon and will keep everyone updated.  Big thanks to all of our friends and family who have supported us along the way with this HUGE project.  It’s nice to see the world starting to respond so well!

We look forward to the future of ReRave.
