- A future update for osu!droid, currently marked as version 1.7.0.
- "rimu" is a name derived from "ri" (rhythm) and "mu" (game) in Japanese
- Work began in end of 2021
- The team:
- Reco1I (client)
- Dekyoura (SFX/GFX)
- Acivev/Lambda (backend)
-
New client UI design
-
New backend
- Written in C# and will be open-sourced.
-
New website design
- In combination with the new backend, adds support for new features such as country ranking and replay downloading
- Currently accessible via https://beta.acivev.de/ (keep in mind that data is not updated)
-
Current work is focused in the new UI to reach feature parity with osu!droid
-
DPP (droid performance points) integration
- DPP will be integrated into the client and backend
- Global ranking will be switched from score-based to DPP-based
- Integration will only support ranked and approved beatmaps as an initial step (loved and whitelisted will be considered)
- Planning to propose a rule that will not allow alts once integrated, now that we have an actual skill-measuring ranking metric
-
New features
- Mods
- Customizations for new UI
- Skin editor
- What will the beatmap leaderboard be based on after dpp integration?
- Will most likely still be score-based, pending discussion
- Is spectator possible?
- With enough effort, should be possible, but no promises for now
- Is a live pp counter possible?
- Possible
- Will old skins be compatible with the UI overhaul?
- Being considered, some are not compatible at the moment
- Is in-game chat possible?
- Not considering unless we get a proper moderation
- Will you still need to submit dpp manually after integration?
- No, the process will be automatic
- Can failed scores be temporarily shown?
- Possible, being considered
- Are Animated profile pictures possible?
- Considerable
- How about adding other gamemodes?
- Not now
- Will be there a public API?
- Coming with the new backend
- Will there be a way to change your osu!droid username via the website?
- Yes
- Can we get a slider gradient similar to osu!stable or osu!lazer?
- Probably
- Can the random and mod selection buttons be swapped to match osu!stable?
- Probably
- Can we have a friends feature?
- Not now
- Can we have a circular length tracker similar to osu!pc?
- Planned
- 2h nerf/1h buff/drag buff?

- In-game tips on loading screen?
- Possible, but pretty low priority
- If there is chat, would bots like Tillerino possible?
- Possible, just need some further thoughts
- Replay options (set replay stuff, change UI mid-gameplay, etc)?
- Possible, but most likely too much work for now
- Long cursor trail?
- Already, but can be improved
- Video background and storyboard fixes for specific maps (i.e. Time Traveler)?
- Currently, no, perhaps later after high priority tasks are done
- Toggle between score/dpp as main ranking?
- Don't think so, score ranking will still be viewable in website but main ranking will stay as dpp-based
- In-game beatmap pp calculator?
- Unlikely, unfortunately
- Hide non-main cursor (cursor that is not used to tap on objects)?
- Unlikely, pretty nitpick feature
- Beatmap status in song selection menu (ranked, approved, etc)?
- Planned, more important as ever now to know which beatmaps will give pp
- Can cursor smoke be added?
- Ok but how are you gonna trigger smoke
- Key/input overlay?
- Possible
- How will beatmap migration from osu!droid to rimu! be done?
- Beatmap storage stays the same, nothing will be lost
- How about ranking existing 1.6.8 mods (FL, SC, etc)?
- A second pass will be done before official rimu! release
- Can mod-specific/country beatmap leaderboard be added?
- Possible

- Probably

- Probably
- Now that we have a beatmap mirror, possibly a skin mirror?
- Most likely not

- Not possible due to Android restrictions
- More leaderboard sorting options (i.e. by combo, acc)?
- Possible, but most likely low priority
- @2x skin element usage toggle?
- Probably (?)
