Hey Guys,

currently We're working on Custom Songs for VOEZ, a pretty good rhythm game for Nintendo Switch and want to Share our Progress.

UPDATE (19.08.2018): we've finished our JSON Parser that works fine in Unity! Next Goal: Editor
UPDATE (25.08.2018): The first Editor for Voez custom Songs has been released!

Oh this sounds awesome! Sadly I don't have the time (working 2 jobs overseas) and knowledge (I'm literally as code-literate as a brick wall) to help out, but I'll give you my moral support (if it's worth anything). Good luck, and thanks!

 

[SecureBoot]

This sounds awesome! I would help if I could but I can't yet. Still learning.

Anyway, some starter songs you could add are the 52hz stuff. They were in the game a while back as a movie promotion but they have since been removed.

I need to play goddamn Amadeus on Voez
Good luck on your project

Just to know, how did you extracted unity data from the game? If the whole folder can be replaced, we could replace a Unity game with any other game (not needing to compile the game with Switch SDK)

I'd love to some some eurodance on there, would suit Voez perfectly

I used Unity AssetBundleExtractor and AssetStudio to extract and reinsert the resources from unity assetbundles.
Will add a tutorial later.
I haven't used the switch sdk for that

I know how to use it. What I'm asking is if you extracted that data folder from encrypted XCI

hactool ?

hactool ?

But did you get the unity data folder (with mono and assembly stuff) or something else?

Did you try to change those files with any other unity game. Like replacing everything and check if the game works

it won't work.
Since files created with the Unity NX Addon contains some extra stuff than Games without NX Addon Stuff.
All the libraries you need for Switch Development wouldn't be in your gamefiles.

This is not the thread for that.
And obviously all Unity game have different file, you can't replace some file to switch games.

True, sry about that. Btw, wanna test this whenever something is released

 

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

We are still working on it and have almost finished our json-parser in Unity.
Here's the current progress!

 

[SecureBoot]

Very nice! I was tapping along and it seems to be going smoothly. Keep up the good work

Hey there, going to jump on in this thread and introduce myself. I'm the person that developed the JSON parser and am developing the song editor. Cool things are soon to come!

Progress from today's development:

• A bunch of essential playback features... play, pause, frame advancing, rewinding, playback speed, time scrubbing, and loop points.
  
• Ability to add notes, delete notes, and edit note properties.
• Ability to save/export all changes back to the JSON files.

No track editing just yet, that's coming next.

Stuff in action:

Definitely right up my alley, cant wait for more progress! Btw as things are currently, are you able to add new tracks to the game entirely? Or are you having to sacrifice an existing song in order to load a custom one?
