i made a new game, it's a bit like the simon memory game but instead of random tunes that just sound slightly off it has instrumentals. the sound effects are all created using elevenlabs so they're unique and "ours" so to speak.
You play it by pressing A S D F G based on the buttons that color up, for instance A and D could color up on the first step, which behind the scenes could be bass and kick, but you don't need to know that as you hear it, so you repeat by pressing A and D, then next time it redoes the first step and adds another step, i.e. A+D & F which could be a piano key. Either way, it continues this way seeing if you remember all the steps, if you get to the end of about 16 steps or so, it'll play the whole tune in a loop.
Currently there's only about 5 tunes, but we can add more keys, chords, etc and let claude create more tunes in the future, add different difficulties for those with really good memories, etc.
we improved the game Hit and Miss a little, doing a mistake now isn't as punishing on your multiplier and if you wanna skip a song/artist name you've initially picked that you did a mistake on which means you have to rewrite it, you can now pick another song instead by typing out the first letter of that one instead to let the previous one go past you (costs you 1 life)
We also added an upvote button to our comments/timed comments and it displays pending rewards and one tree of replies for now:
We also did some fixes for lyrics, as they'd been stored on the server before this which may get a bit gray area in terms of legality, now instead they're stored and fetched from the chain. Upon dmca request we can simply stop showing those lyrics from the website. This also saves some storage for our server.
Added a small instant navigation fix to some sites that load a bit slower so users know the "click" happened, it's just loading, which preloads a skeleton page while waiting for the contents to load
Added game leaderboard history so you can scroll scores based on past weeks while the top shows all-time, this is for future planning when we start awarding achievement/banners to top scorers who do well in certain games.
in a day or so, 2 new games are released
Scroddlemix
This one is a bit like wordle but uses hangman as an assistant, so if you get a yellow/green letter correct in the wordle field it'll also add the word to the hangman opposite. With opposite meaning that some times the wordle puzzle is asking for a song name while the hangman in that case is the artist name to help out and vice versa.
Total Scrobble Recall
This one will be a fun one and the first game that's based on your own personal scrobble history. (the others aren't based on our scrobbles as we'd be limited for now to puzzle solutions) These same limitations however mean that you need to have a certain amount of scrobbles to play this game, the limit is currently 1000 scrobbles, which no one has hit yet, but no rush, it'll be there waiting for you. I'm not even there yet:
We moved template hosting from server to hive.blog, so the site and widget now just preview links, when you create a meme it mostly depends on what frontend you're using however, so you'll create a meme from the template and it'll upload it to peakd hosting instead.
Some of the first rewards came in from testing a week ago, so I was relieved to see the tracker working as intended!
Either way, eventually there'll be a small cost to uploading templates because we don't wanna overload hive.blog hosting. It'll probably be something small like 1 hive that gets burned. For now it'll remain free however as people are submitting carefully and not flooding.
53 image templates and 14 gif templates so far!
Thanks for reading and checking out the projects!
