Hi

ClickBEAT is currently resuming development.

Stay tooned!

Pausing Development

Sorry.

I just want to point out that I am not cancelling this project. I just here to tell you that I also have stuff to do other than this game. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope y'all understand me.

For that, I continued to make the test public if anybody's interested!

Thanks!

Changes in the aim

There are some things that have changed in my plans throughout the development of ClickBEAT.

While in school or at home, I made some slight changes in my aim for the game that I introduced in my first blog post, "Introduction".

Here are the changes:

--

2nd aim:

"Make a standalone and web version of the game:

This game is made using the all new GameMaker: Studio, which features HTML5 exporting. I am aiming to release this to Newgrounds along with a .exe file."

This aim has been changed.

The HTML version will now be a mini version due to Newgrounds's 250 MB limit, while the .exe version is the full version. This gives out a more "In-app purchases" feeling, but technically, it isn't. You just have to download the full version and there you go. No payments.

4th aim:

"Have 8 sets of levels, each with their corresponding mixes.

The game is heavily inspired by Rhythm Heaven (Rhythm Paradise in Europe, Rhythm Tengoku in Japan, Rhythm World in Korea), so the structure of the game is how the game it's inspired from follows. 4 levels in each sets with it's own Level Mix. The game has 8 sets, 6 main ones and 2 bonus sets."

This aim has been changed.

It is now 7 sets and the last one is a doppleganger set, with a special game mix.

Yes, that's right. "Game Mix".

6th aim:

"Have a rating system that's unique.

So as I said, it has a rating system like Parappa The Rapper. However, i'm still going to base the rating system like rhythm heaven, which makes it a little bit bizarre.

In the game, while you are playing a level, there is a rating system that follows your movements.

The rating system while you are playing rates you if you are Good, Bad, or Awful.
Each time you miss, the rate gets lower until you reach the very low end of Awfulness, kinda like Parappa the Rapper.

If you manage to finish a level, hold on, we're not done yet.

There's another rating system if you finish the level. The time, it rates you like your test papers. A, B, C, or D.

If you get an A, you will get a gold medal.
If you get a B, you will get a silver medal.
If you get a C, you only finished the level, no medal.
If you get a D, you have to try again.

This aftermath rating system counts how many misses you have earned, keep that in mind.

So yeah, that's the rating system I am aiming for."

This aim has a slight change.

The formula is still what it is, but the "Good, Bad or Awful" formula has changed a bit. When you get to Awful, you just stay awful. There won't be any cuts and you just have to struggle and go back the the Good rating. All you need to do is to stay Good. If you stay Bad or Awful until the end, you lose.

And that's it.

Development Blog Post #6 - Offbeats

Sorry for a month-long delay!

So, as said from the title. The second tutorial for Wrath of the Slaps is finished, which is an offbeat tutorial!

There were lots of coding mishaps, and boy was it a pain to code.

There were some sprite errors here and there, the beat function doesn't work properly and some error codes from the second tutorial affected the first tutorial.

After a lot of mistakes, I managed to make it work.

I still have to improve on the cues and the last tutorial.

I'll release a demo in about this month or early May.

Thanks for listening :)

Development Blog Post #4 - Tutorial Clean-ups

At this point, the HTML5 test will be deleted tomorrow.

Hello people!

So about the game!

The first tutorial is cleaned up! It now has a limit!

4 successful tries and you're done!

By successful, I meant no misses, simple.

So about what I'm thinking of when releasing the demo...

Well, it's about time that I should add something to the extras menu.

Just 1 minigame and 7 songs, that's it.

That minigame is just a girl trying to eat fruits. Avoid eating rocks or uneatable things. Eat to the BEat! GET IT?!
ok sry

Press J to eat
Press K to throw

Those 7 songs are just the songs from the minigame, the tutorials and the actual game.

I'm also gonna try to implement and new title screen!

Anyways, thank you guys for the overwhelming support last week. It was a blast.

People we're actually e-mailing me :O

welp, that's all I can give you all right now!

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the first blog post of 2017!

Today's an awesome day.

I'll release a little test if the html5 version of the game can pass.

after this, you can give me bug reports or feedback.

Yes, there will be lag on low spec computers.

As of right now, Wrath of the Slaps has the button input working. The slaps are responsive and it only needs a little bit of cleaning.

Thank you for listening!

We begin by saying, "The first level is now on development."

The title of this new game is called "Wrath of the Slaps".

The game screen is locked by x = 640 y = 360, windowed and fullscreen.

The sprites are now finished.

Note: Finished, not Exported.

Only 50% has been exported, and I am still exporting one more character.

Introduction

Welcome to the Official blog of ClickBEAT.

Before everything, I want to introduce to you what the game is going to be!

This is the first "Only visual" rhythm game for the PC, (I just made that up, thank you very much.) Much like Rhythm Heaven. Accompanied with a rating system that is awfully based on Parappa The Rapper.

The features to aim are as follows:
- Make a successful rhythm game
- Make a standalone and web version of the game
- Make a stunning soundtrack for the game
- Have 8 sets of levels, each with their corresponding mixes
- Make it visually appealing
- Have a rating system that's unique
- Finish it as early as possible
- Let the people enjoy it

So let's go on with the flow and explain all these aims.

1. Make a successful rhythm game.

Much like Project Diva or Dance Dance Revolution that gained popularity by how well-made it is, this aim suggests that this game should be successful, both in popularity and rating.

2. Make a standalone and web version of the game.

This game is made using the all new GameMaker: Studio, which features HTML5 exporting. I am aiming to release this to Newgrounds along with a .exe file.

3. Make a stunning soundtrack for the game.

Rhythm games are mostly remembered by it's soundtrack. If the music is good, then everyone can at least enjoy it. I am using LMMS 1.1.3 to make music. So far so good.

4. Have 8 sets of levels, each with their corresponding mixes.

The game is heavily inspired by Rhythm Heaven (Rhythm Paradise in Europe, Rhythm Tengoku in Japan, Rhythm World in Korea), so the structure of the game is how the game it's inspired from follows. 4 levels in each sets with it's own Level Mix. The game has 8 sets, 6 main ones and 2 bonus sets.

5. Make it visually appealing.

Again, the game is heavily inspired by Rhythm Heaven, so I aim to make the game look like one. Cute and vibrant characters, visually advanced background, anything really.

6. Have a rating system that's unique.

So as I said, it has a rating system like Parappa The Rapper. However, i'm still going to base the rating system like rhythm heaven, which makes it a little bit bizarre.

In the game, while you are playing a level, there is a rating system that follows your movements.

The rating system while you are playing rates you if you are Good, Bad, or Awful.
Each time you miss, the rate gets lower until you reach the very low end of Awfulness, kinda like Parappa the Rapper.

If you manage to finish a level, hold on, we're not done yet.

There's another rating system if you finish the level. The time, it rates you like your test papers. A, B, C, or D.

If you get an A, you will get a gold medal.
If you get a B, you will get a silver medal.
If you get a C, you only finished the level, no medal.
If you get a D, you have to try again.

This aftermath rating system counts how many misses you have earned, keep that in mind.

So yeah, that's the rating system I am aiming for.

7. Finish it as early as possible.

I'm not the best at deadlines, but I will finish the game as early as I can. I'm only 14, so I still have school to handle. Keep in mind that I'm also working on a new project called "Star Heroes", which is an animated series. So please, be patient.

8. Let the people enjoy it.

My most important aim is that people can enjoy it, and let them smile. Ok, I sound cheesy, but that's true. There once was an article on Reddit where a teacher had students who wanted to play Rhythm Heaven, but cannot because they don't have a Nintendo DS or Wii.

So, I managed to think of an idea to make one on PC, but I am not taking the franchise's name.

So, that was the introduction.

Please stay tuned for more updates!
