ok, comp got fixed surprisingly fast, anyways, i cant really do anything without seeing a sort of mockup of what the gameplay loop is going to be like, is there nothing on that? also, why is mobile and PC gameplay different? i feel like either we ditch the PC controls and stick with the mobile controls or ditch the sliding notes so we dont get like parody issues later on

Mockup? Apologies, but what's that?

We're focusing on PC version first, then expanding to mobile for more fun notes and a more diverse gamer-audience. And I don't think we'll get parody issues - pretty much every rhythm game I know has sliding/held-down notes.

A mockup is just a basic idea or a picture of something, to help visualize the end product. Kinda similar to a prototype, but with no functionality just for looks.

Yeah, it'll suffice! Just keep in mind that he'll be drawn in a more “anime” style, so less cartoony xD

Maybe I could try to draw him in that “anime” style, but… *cringes* anime-ness not guaranteed.

Ohhh, I see. I mean, we have reference pictures on the Trello media board. And we also have engine prototypes and the notes designed.

Haha, could you? No worries about the anime-ness. We just need him more humanly-shaped, if you will. And on a full-body, 3-view reference chart.

Yeah, I have a very cartoony style. Hopefully deciphering my art isn't too hard ( TvT)/

Probably to get money and to get you to pay for their large services. Unfortunately for us, we have over roughly 18 staff, so we're going to have to look into some other service that'll do this for us. I think Mural might be the way to go…
And yes, very annoying. Years ago, Trello cut the board limit per workspace… Sheesh.

i'm slightly confused, does that mean we can't add ourselves to boards after that?

also if you guys want to use it or consider using it, currently i'm creating an autosave system using cloud variables.

Yeah, it basically is a cap of all members/collaborators to 10 per workspace. And you guys can't request access either. A serious pain in the rear, but it's okay. Gimme a couple days and I'll try to get a Mural team up and running.

Sweet - okay. Gimme now a few minutes? Hm -

My good people - Mural works, and it allows up to 50 members per workspace. Only 3 Murals, though, but that's okay - I doubt we're gonna need any more than that. The interface is a little confusing at first, but don't worry - we probably aren't gonna use half the features you see.

-welp-

That's the invite link. I'm sorry for the inconvenience Trello has caused us, but do sign up for Mural(also free; we're the penny-less dev team haha) and get access. If you run into any issues, let me know. I'll also link the invite in… the usual places. Not the front page for this thread, though.

When you gain access to the workspace/team, go to the Mural called “Test”. Feel free to do whatever you want in there - it's only a test and for us to get our bearings there.

That… probably won't work either. Once I enter highschool, I'll probably be able to do stuff again (cause the laptops at my highschool are probably unblocked)

looks really awesome! I just have 2 suggestions -
1 - Switch variables to local / classify them with a -# intro
2 - Make the “Soundwave Productions” text size in (ease 0 - 100 or so) with the bars moving towards the screen

Edit:
I am currently making a ui for Project S. Would you guys prefer a more performant project or a more visually cool one? I may make a setting in the future to swap between these, but for now, what do you guys think?

i think making a visually cool one first would be better, because then we already have all the vfx and can remove and change them much easier to make a performance option.

Thanks!
The global variables are global for a reason. Its to communicate between clones without using too many broadcasts or other options. If you prefer naming variables depending on sprite i can add that, never done that myself.
Ima add the easing tho!

i normally use lowercase for variables that are sprite specific, and uppercase for global variables lol, thats all i do.

ok, i believe we havent settled on a naming convention yet, which isnt good, what about insertExampleHere, and then _ before the name for locals

I made the global variables that couldnt be local contain “-# intro” at the end.
I sadly cant ease the “Soundwave Productions” text in as its a part of the backdrop. I could add it as a clone later tho.

I may go with performant as this is gonna be HUGE. We can make up for a visually cool one for just better designs and images.
