Why Early Access?

“Currently the Rap Ability Test community has no efficient way of creating charts for the game, so we want to give access to the charting tool as soon as possible. Since this is a tool dedicated to community charting, going into early access allows us to communicate directly with that community to make sure we focus on what aspects they want us to focus on. Having more people to give us feedback also helps us take more charting styles and general needs into account so we can make sure MUS! Studio can be used by anyone.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We plan to leave early access at the start of 2025.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to expand the quality of life features of the tool further. We hope to implement features like layers, bpm detection, cloud saving, scripted actions and skin/theme support.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version is developed enough to be used for regular charting. It currently lacks quality of life features, and you should expect occasional bugs when charting. Currently the tool supports importing and exporting 4 different chart formats, with support for multikey, multiple players, and multiple difficulties. We already have essentials like customizable note snap, copy+pasting and BPM changes implemented.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to raise the price once we are out of early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“As MUS! Studio was made specifically to assist in community charting for Rap Ability Test, we will actively be interacting with the community throughout its development and making sure everyone is comfortable using the tool. You can give us feedback on the Semicola Games Discord, (https://discord.gg/semicola) or through the Steam forums.”
