1/8/2024 0 Comments Undertale stepmania![]() And this isn't just a recent trend going backwards, you can find rhythm hits on any platform, from Gitaroo Man to Elite Beat Agents. Square Enix has also published the lauded Theatrhythm series, based on Final Fantasy music and soon to expand to cover music from other series, on 3DS as well. Sega has been busy too, having released Project DIVA on PS3/Vita and Project Mirai on 3DS as a result of fan demand. The PS Vita (and by extension, the PS TV) has an incredible wealth of music titles, with Superbeat: XONiC and Persona 4 Dancing All Night having hit just within the four months alone to join classics like DJMAX Technika Tune. If you watched the StepMania Showcase and thought it interesting but not for you, please, please consider giving the many rhythm games on the market a try for yourself. It's as if they decided to have a fighting game showcase and instead of Street Fighter, they decided to showcase Mugen. ![]() And now everyone who watched AGDQ thinks rhythm games are little more than robots performing 1500 APM input spams of little variety or imagination rather than fully fleshed out, approachable, accessible experiences. There is no shortage of truly innovative products that could have been featured.Īfter all this, after the entire genre and its player base has fought long and hard to reach some sort of recognition outside of Japan, what did we get? A fan-produced simulator of DDR that no doubt is popular simply because you can download it and any content any random person created for free.įan-made offshoots like StepMania would never have even existed if not for the pioneers of the genre creating the gameplay design it shamelessly rips off in the first place. It's an incredible genre with huge diversity, with not only Konami (who still develop rhythm games despite having abandoned seemingly everything else) holding the torch but Sega, Taito, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Andamiro, and many others consistently contributing new titles every year. The most storied franchises had their start in the 1990s and are still going today. Rhythm games have an incredibly long and rich history in Japan. I just want to put my idea out there.I wasn't going to say anything, but it keeps getting brought up and I don't feel any better about it after yesterday, so.Īs a long time rhythm game player, everything about the StepMania Showcase feels like a slap in the face. Will I make this? Will I not? I don't know at all. You press the arrow keys to fire, so you have to hit each arrow with the corresponding button press, all of which fire. You see that yellow button.? Now press !!!įor the yellow heart, it would just basically be Space Invaders, but the aliens are arrows coming down from the top of the screen. I may animate this in the future, I don't know. It's basically just the red heart, but you have to move around where you can hit the oncoming arrows. You would move that box over four oncoming lines of arrows. I think purple is a better look on you! Ahuhuhu~įor the purple heart, you would only have one input box like with the green heart, where you just tap the arrow correctly when it touches that box, with any direction of arrow being possible. I made it so that the arrows coming up aren't all up arrows, and the ones going down aren't all down arrows, etc on purpose, because I felt that would make it easier, although visually it would be more accurate to the original. You have to time the button presses, as well as getting the right button press. So with this one, you're stationary with all of the inputs coming at you from different sides. If you have any better ideas, please tell meĪs long as you're GREEN you CAN'T ESCAPE! (animated) ![]() Since I'm not very married to this idea, I just poorly drew it. An idea is that your 4 input arrows, instead of being stationary reacting to oncoming arrows, fell down on a long string of arrows laid out. Okay, honestly, I don't know how this would work. The red soul in Undertale is basic bullet hell, so here it's basic DDR. Of course, this doesn't take any inspiration from how the Red heart works in game, but sort of does as in it is the most basic form of its genre. Very basic, just normal Stepmania or DDR. That is your SOUL, the very culmination of your being! (animated) I have concepts for what most of these would do, and have animated and drawn a few of them. All of the different soul types would still be functional and apply. So recently, I've been wondering what Undertale would be like if instead of being a bullet hell in the fight sequences, it was something like DDR or Stepmania.
