Progress Checkup! (Sept. 2023)
Hello! You may have heard (Or not heard, since I kinda forgot to keep the devlog over here up to date, whoops!) that the SAGE 2023 demo of Scratchin' Melodii had to be delayed, as something came up in which I had to reevaluate my life priorities for a bit. I can't give any solid dates on when I'll be postponing the release of this demo to at the moment, but for now I'll say that you can probably expect it before the end of this year. I'm aiming for this demo to be the last demo I release before I finish the full game, BUT keep in mind, that does NOT at all mean that the full game will be done soon. There's still a lot of work to do!! And in case I haven't made it clear enough before, I do plan for Scratchin' Melodii to be a full game that you purchase with money when I complete it. The reason I've been releasing small free demos is just to gather feedback and testing. This is my first game, after all!
Anyways, here's the progress checkup.
These will be featured or partially featured in the next demo:
- Overhaul of Cream Cheese Icing (Rival Battle) (Done!) A preview of it can be seen here
- Supastar Tennis (Rival Battle) (Done!) A preview of it can be seen here
- Sidechain Fever (Rival Battle) (Done!) A preview of it can be seen here
- Gameplay UI & Beat Detection Overhaul (Halfway done!)
- Story Mode Overhaul (Under construction...)
- Automatic Button Layout Option (Done!)
I'm also working on a lot of other stuff that I'll be saving for the full game. You may have noticed that batches of songs/levels are separated into "Acts". Keep in mind, this is only a way of sorting the songs based on when and where they appear in story mode, the next demo will not include the entirety of Act 2, only two songs from it. I hope you'll look forward to it! :)

i always kinda prefered "pups" as the name for the goobers since they stand like dogs, look like dogs, and Renza saying "four pops makes a chain" kinda sounds like her saying "four pups"
pups just also sounds cute lol
making cookies for my love, I stir and mix
Here is some feedback and some opinions: i found a bug that is possible in every song, whenever i click on another tab too many times, the song notes will glitch to be offsetted, opinion alert! i think melodii's voice has too much emphasis in stir and mix, Jamtine's voice was better before and another mistake is it doesn't the voice of Jamtine's voice on supa star tennis. Melodii's voice also sounds robotic on Nami.wav and Grease poppin'. These are just opinions and you can decide not to change them, it's okay but i hope you change the errors. Edit: This is also an opinion, you don't need to change the real thing: the arrows on Sidechain fever in my opinion should have the no freestyle mechanic on supa star tennis, because realisticly if actually playing the game (it was inspired puyo puyo right?) if you rotate it differently it will be a different rotation.
acts? you mean, like in ultrakill? 🆘🆘

waitinggggggggggggg
It's fine that you had to delay, real life is always more important than making a silly little video game! I was a little disappointed that this will probably be the last demo, but I completely understand why and ultimately would rather have it this way; saves more fun surprises for when the full game comes out!
I hope you have a good time continuing to work on this game. I can already tell that this is going to be an amazing game, and I'm super excited to see where you take it!
Do what you need to do! Any chance we can hear the tracks in the meantime? Side Chain Fever is a BOP
erm actually dr eggman's mean bean machine is a reference to puyo puyo
