Community Quiz Ready to Launch!
🕑 Added 2024-11-18 12:03:05 +0000 UTCCurrently finishing up the last couple of details for the new community quiz system, so it'll go live later today!
So before that I wanted to give you all a breakdown of how it works, and the launch will function.
But first off a huge shoutout to the mod team, who have helped test the system over the weekend, you've been a huge help in finding bugs and improvements!
Community Quizzes are split in two parts, one being the builder allowing you to build and share quizzes, the other being the quiz browser allowing you to play those quizzes. The quiz browser will be available for everyone to use when the update goes live today, the quiz builder will launch in early access for level 3+ Patreon, before launching for everyone on Friday the 29th of November.
To start out with the quiz browser, it's a new window where you can browse quizzes published by anyone, shared by your friends or made by yourself. These quizzes dictate what show/songs are played as well as the guessing time, specific sample points, playback speed etc., allowing the creators to fully design their own quiz experiences! All the quizzes will be playable as both regular quizzes, multiple choice and teams!
For the published quizzes, you'll also be able to earn medals based on your performance starting at bronze 40% guess rate and ending at diamond for a 100% (for multiple choice, these are changed to 80% for bronze and 100% for silver).
To help sort out in all the quizzes available, the browser contains several filters, such as difficulty, song types and release time.
This won't be included in the initial launch, but I'll also be adding high score boards to the quizzes, allowing you to see your own and your friends result on each quiz.
Next up, there's the quiz builder allowing you to build, share and publish the quizzes playable in the quiz browser.
Already did a Sneak Peek of the builder, explaining how the building works, so check it out for the details on how it works: https://www.patreon.com/posts/custom-quiz-mode-114840480
First of, to create quizzes, you'll need to unlock a quiz slot for it. All players get one for free at level 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 (so a total of 5), and additional slots can be brought for 25,000 notes. It'll also be possible to purchase unlimited slots for a one time $5 payment, and level 3+ Patreons will also have unlimited slots for as long as they're a level 3+ backer.
Quizzes can be freely edited and deleted until they're published (made available for everyone), then they are locked and can no longer be edited or deleted. After publishing a quiz, it'll lock the quiz slot for 14 days, after which players will receive a new free quiz slot to make up for the one used by the published quiz.
Beside publishing quizzes, you'll also be able to set them as shared, making them available to everyone on your friend list, while still being able to edit or delete them.
Both shared quizzes, and unshared ones, will playable in both single and multiplayer.
That's it for the new system, I'm happy to finally get it out to you all, and can't wait to see what quizzes you all make!
