I built a career-mode tracker for the entire Guitar Hero franchise
GH: Legacy is a career tracker that recreates the old GH career progression, except spanning the entire franchise back to back - GH1 all the way through Warriors of Rock chronologically, as one continuous run. You still play the actual songs in Clone Hero or YARG; this just tracks the journey and gates your progress the way the games used to.
How it works:
🎸 695 songs: all 13 games, grouped into their original chapters/tiers
⭐ FC-only progression: a normal clear doesn't cut it, you log score + accuracy once you've actually full-combo'd it
🔒 Real progression gating: songs within a chapter unlock together and can be played in any order, but boss battles/encores stay locked until you've cleared the main setlist, and the next chapter (or next game) stays locked until the current one's fully FC'd. This is enforced server-side, not just a UI suggestion
🎚️ Separate careers per difficulty: Easy/Medium/Hard/Expert are all independent runs, so your Expert progress never bleeds into Easy
🃏 Wildcards: one per chapter, lets you skip past a song you're stuck on and keep moving, without it counting as a real FC in your stats. Go back and FC it properly whenever you want
🏆 Achievements: FC milestones, per-game completions, franchise completion, and a "No Wildcards" achievement for anyone who wants to prove they never took the easy way out
👥 Friends + leaderboards: add friends, compare progress, global/friend leaderboards for total FCs and score
👤 Profiles: avatar, bio, stats, recent FCs, streaks: all viewable on friends' profiles too
If you want to give it a go, the app is completely free and available at ghlegacy.com

Would love feedback and if any bugs get picked up feel free to let me know and I will get them sorted!
Edit: GH Live temporarily removed until I can make it properly optional. This is to stop a progression block for players without a 6 fret guitar.
