Updates were released in the form of new features (such as the ability to preview maps before downloading) and song packs over the next 2 years or so.
It gained some attention over the internet, and was featured by Xamarin as a game made completely on the Xamarin.iOS framework (link now defunct, unfortunately). The game did quite well from a sales perspective, but was hindered by the complexity of the beatmap creation process and limited song choice for mappers. Many of the mappers either lost interest or didn’t have enough spare time to keep a constant. stream of beatmaps coming in.Īt the same time, osu! on PC was constantly growing in size. It’s very hard to keep track of multiple projects, so I eventually made the decision to move my focus back completely to PC and let osu!stream sit without real updates for years. I don’t regret this decision the game was left in a good state and has enough beatmaps to be a very fun and unique “osu!” experience. I still see it as the most polished osu! release to date – although this is soon to be surpassed. Interestingly, a lot of the concepts we are using in osu!framework have some history of being present in osu!stream. The concept of hierarchical drawables/sprites began to appear, and while quite raw, was used to apply game-wide scale and rotation effects which would otherwise not have worked on limited mobile hardware. There were a total of 3,839,438 scores submitted over osu!stream’s lifetime. This doesn’t include fails, unlike osu!, and only considers those that logged in via twitter (241,540 total). For a better idea of total audience, there were a total of over 1.5 million installations as of 2016. It’s safe to say a lot of people enjoyed the game!Ģ.6 million free beatmap packs were downloaded over this period. As for sales, there were a total of 24,943 beatmap pack sales (averaging US$1.99 a piece) by 13,635 users.
