Beyond 1.0

Firstly a huge thank you to everyone who has downloaded and tried the mod.  I've had some really great feedback and just wanted to share my future plans for 'Darren'.

The core concept of the mod will remain unchanged.  I think the Luppis notes along with Janne or Darren co drivers gives the most complete 'out of the box' co driver experience in RBR. 

My short term goal is to reach a point where i consider Darren to be complete.  1.0 was a massive step towards that but there's more on the horizon.

A few people struggled with the volume levels and being able to hear the calls clearly.  In response to this, all future versions will have remastered audio with the balance shifted towards the mid/high end.  It now has a much similar tone to other codriver mods and has gone down very well in testing.  I'm quite keen to roll this out in the coming days.

I have been working on adding other pacenote systems.  I am currently testing descriptive and also the porridge corner scale which will help people migrating from his mods.

The new audio and these two new systems along with some other tweaks will be version 1.1 which should be released towards the end of the week. 

Following on from that, I plan to continue working on other systems with numeric swapped, numeric descending, numeric descending swapped and rbr arriving in the coming weeks.  If there are other scales you are interested then let me know.

Some minor tweaks/fixes/improvements will likely occur after this but in terms of main functionality things will  then stabilize until the release of Luppis/Janne V3.  This will be another step up in complexity and i will start looking towards Darren V2.

If you want to keep up to date with development and help test out experimental and beta versions hop over to the Darren discord.

Thanks again for everyone that has taken the time to give feedback or just say hello.  Always great to hear from you!

Darren
