BUTCHER VANITY - Rhythm Doctor Custom Level

on that game design meat grind
Level: steamcommunity...
Song: • BUTCHER VANITY ft. Yi Xi
Musicians: FLAVOR FOLEY (vanelily, jamiep, ricedeity)
Game: Rhythm Doctor
Yixi Design: VIMALION
as is tradition for this song, i went crazy and decided to make a rhythm doctor level for the first time in three days! at least one entire day was trying to record myself S clearing the level! you can see there's a moment around like 0:47 where i got nervous and tapped on instinct but since it's the only mistake i made i decided to just call it there
i was scared when designing it that i was making it too mean but my playtesters all said it was fair, so i basically made no changes to it after the first pass. ty again for the flavor foley team for giving me the perms to put this up on steam yay ♥ belatedly realizing that flavor foley is a play on words, aka flavorfully. lyrical genius strikes again. shoutouts as well to Hypo_Conducter on twt for making that rhythm heaven level, that inspired me a lot
it's been a long while since i've done pixel art or anims, but it was easy to get back into. the face gave me the most trouble since the exact shape of ^q^ is actually a surprisingly high amount of pixels, but i figured out how to simplify it down even further.
I considered going crazier with rhythm doctor's level editor features, like adding in subtitles, but when i started doing it i felt like it just didn't look that good. the level itself is already fairly challenging without a bunch of visual distraction, so i decided it would be easier to leave it as is
anyways everyone in the world should play rhythm doctor thats my final message goodbye

THIS IS AWESOME HELLLLOOO???? RHE FUCKING CUSTOM ANIMATIONS

[@dualitysDownfall]

ADORE seeing the rhythm game community go nuts with this song so fast, it's awesome!!!

[@Miles_DoesStuff]

Instead of saving Yi Xi, you're trying to keep her AWAY. Love the map btw ❤

[@Tr0lliPop]

Yi Xi is trying to eat your patient

[@meghanwallace8175]

Like those videos of cats trying to steal their owner’s food off their plate, where they have to physically hold the cat by the head and push them back lol

[@defokochuan]

She’s trying to eat the patients!

[@Yet_Another_Rapscallion]

to quote one who came before me: "my hungry ass could NOT to a mortician"

THE CUSTOM SPRITES????? THIS IS SUCH A BANGER

THE LITTLE YI XIS ARE SO CUUUTE

[@H4Z3-L]

RAAAGHHH OH MY GOD YES I'VE BEEN HOPING AND PRAYING SOMEONE WOULD MAKE THIS EVER SINCE IT CAME OUT. PLAYING THIS INSTANTLY. I'M SO INSANE ABOUT THIS

[@kasagure.]

Rhythm Doctor, but if you're off-beat Xi Yi eats your patient

[@OddyOddity-ob2uv]

Her hungry ass could not be a surgeon 😔

[@rabadoo]

She'd still eat them even if you're not off-beat

[@littlecake453]

This song didn't even came out that long ago and people already make very good custom charts. Let's go!

[@WewuRadiant]

Who knew Yi Xi had so many heart problems.

[@astuteanansi4935]

I think she's the one causing heart problems :D

[@WewuRadiant]

@astuteanansi4935 ... I mean, I assume an only meat diet would do bad things to the heart. She has the bad problems and causes the bad problems! Yi Xi the heart destroyer

[@Pistachio_cream]

​@@WewuRadiant especially an only meat diet that contains human meat. Eating the meat of your own species doesn't do great things to a mammals body.

[@lancesmith8298]

If you experience equilateral triangles on your cardiogram, talk to your doctor

[@ethansadie9185]

She doesn’t exactly have a healthy diet

[@The1nsomniacPotato]

HOLY HECK both astounding rhythm doctor AND rhythm heaven representation with this song??? I know everyone is saying this but the custom sprites are well-made and downright adorable! Also I love how the inputs are timed to really put the *snap* in the sinew snapping part of the song near the end ^q^

HELLO?!?!?!?! THIS IS SO GOOD IM KICKING MY LEGS IN THE AIR AAAAA THE CUSTOM SPRITES ARE SO GOOD!!!!!!!

[@Its_Azurite_Losers]

Hey, now that I think about it... this character would be great for doctor-themed video games! Either as a constant threat that seeks to eat your patients or you must always maintain constant vigilance because you know will relentlessly return for your tasty patients!

[@pixel_chip0]

ive never played rhythm doctor so idk whats going on but the added noises from the game sound cool so i approve

[@jxksksoskxko]

The grindiest game design meat grind. Rhythm gamers unite.

[@alanng6115]

I like to think that you are actively trying to save yourself by preventing the strikes to going to your heart

[@SketchHusk]

"Perfectly portioned strike." Convenient joke there.

[@sososi1234]

I got so used to hearing this version of the song that when I listened to a cover I was confused at not hearing the cues.

Omg it's been a while since I've seen rhythm doctor. This is actually incredible

[@mhhye7985]

This is one of the most insane custom levels SHEESH

[@arsonstick]

got s+ on this!! it was really fun :)

[@maxwell-auel]

I really love that you used Rhythm Doctor for this song! It fits the song better than other rhythm games.

[@Vannyvonvanity]

THE SPRITES ARE ADORABLE AFGHHH

[@olivergobrrr2935]

A few criticisms: -> The classic beats from 0:34-0:38 seem to be offbeat; the same goes for 1:53-1:55; I feel like using X rows / adjusting its tick would make it more suited to the beat. It just seems...off? -> Having the beats pulse more on parts like in 2:55 would make the chart more dynamic imo -> Certain multi-shots hit on a beat which don't correspond to the rhythm? Also, some beats feel like they could be more of a freezeshot as opposed to a multishot. Other than that, it's a very nice chart. I do feel sometimes that it's a bit lacking in terms of visual effects (like, you could try HoM + Vertical Screen Scroll + some sort of trippy VFX Preset like Abberation or Screen Waves at )

[@TimSoarer]

There are dedicated communities around the creation of rhythm doctor levels where you can get advice.

[@pronounced-like-the-drink]

this is so high effort?? what talent! your pixel art is so cute! such a good homage to the original song :)

[@NinPayton]

I feel like it's a missed opportunity to not have that hand cut off by the blue column at the end. Still amazing though!

[@DilaccioLuna]

Backstory of this Yi Xi was arrested while she was cannibalizing another innocent person, but her heartbeat went abnormal, and thus you are obligated to save her If you lose, maniacal laughing from her can be heard, as she dies with a smile. If you win, she will scream in anger, and a cutscene appears where the cops restrain her and drive her into an Asylum.

[@Dragonlord-xw8mj]

[@Dragonlord-xw8mj]

For a video like this does make the most sense out of any type of backstory

[@Plant-c9p]

I have never heard of this game before, but it seems like a vibe 👍

[@lobotomydoctor2226]

Thought there would be a moment where she puts a knife in the heart at the end
