Coolnesss. Looks like you're making progress with this. Good luck with it, it will undoubtedly make a lot of peoples work a lot easier

Wow, you're really coming along quite quickly! Looking forward to this, it would be an awesome notation tool!

I work fast ;)

I actually have tap notes and hold notes working properly now.. And the gameplay is working (but it needs tuning, like the way it detects chords vs single notes and the fluidity of taps/pulls) ..
But i'm working on syncing now.. That'll take a bit longer than the initial presentation stuff...
Then i'll probably release a beta.
Gimme a few more days.

those screenshots look pretty nice, but i was wondering if there was any creative way we could make it look nice without looking like we're ripping off the format of GH 1 and 2 because isn't that the basic reason why guitar zero got shut down (please don't ban me for mentioning GZ). Maybe just something as dumb as making the gems square instead of circles. . . .or something like that.

that aside, good job, much respect and mad props

I don't know why GZ isn't just re-released with a different look to GH. That's pretty much how FoF/Freetar get away with it. Could just take out the 3D background and make the menus different and boom, it resembles "just another clone" instead of an actual rip off.

Well the tool was really meant to be an editor... And the original game has no editor, so I don't think I could be crossing any gameplay plagerism lines there..
Regarding the general look and feel, I can tell you it 'feels' nothing like GH :P (but thats mainly because my gameply sucks atm)
The look is obviously, well, 'inspired' by GH

.. But as I've said before, if there was a talented artist willing to spend some time making up nice skins then I would prefer to use something else instead.
I wouldn't make it into anything more than an editor until the editor was complete.. And then I'd probably branch it off completely to make it any sort of game.. If it were shut down, I wouldn't want the editor shut down too.
As an editor, its working quite nicely. And I can actually make customs in it now

Really good work, mate. Do you plan on releasing a beta version of it anytime soon?

**TurkeyMan** · Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2007 3:09 pm Post subject:

Very soon..
The only thing left to do is the load/save to midi files, which I've already made a start on. Then it will be usable

I can attest to how awesome this project will be. With a bit of time spent with a pre-beta, it's definately gonna become THE standard for making customs. I have high hopes
