Hexagon and On - Chiptune inspired by Super Hexagon

by the way I wonder, did you made a script for the obstacles to sync with the music, the same way you did the equalizers, or did you made them fit manually? Anyway awesome visuals :D

[@zanzlanz]

So by default, I have it set do one random pattern on every beat. But I manually override the patterns at different parts :) It's what would always give the cleanest results.

Oh neat, I didn't know about that game :o

[@petrus4]

@@zanzlanz Well, it is and isn't explicitly about hexagons. There are some of them directly on the opening menu screen, but the tile grid itself is square. I've been learning though that if I use groups of four square tiles as a single pixel, I can build imperfect hexagons that way, which get more precise as I scale up. That basically means that in any building game with a square grid, (which is essentially all of them) with 44 tiles per side (11 groups of 4 tiles) I can have an almost regular hexagon to use as a structure. I've never played Super Hexagon, and looking at it truthfully makes me worried that it would give me siezures...but in a lot of other areas, the bestagon has really improved my life.

[@MrNexis3]

Of course I'm here from gd but this song is just... Oh it's perfect. I'm a huge fan of the level that used this song and this song REALLY contributes to it.

[@metalmr.i9543]

I never have danced this hard on with a song since years... Outstanding!!

[@ThePC007]

Nice. I'm currently developing a Super-Hexagon-like game that allows you to use your own music and then performs an audio analysis in order to the detect the beats and the speed of the song and adapt the gameplay accordingly. I wonder how well this song would work with it.

[@zanzlanz]

Wow no way! I hope your project goes really well! :D What are some techniques you're using to do audio analysis? That stuff gets really complex, haha :)

[@ThePC007]

"What are some techniques you're using to do audio analysis?" The game uses three "layers" to perform the analysis: analog beat detection, digital beat detection, and speed detection. Before doing anything the game performs a Fourier transform on the samples, in order to get a spectrum of the different frequencies that the song consists of. Afterwards it performs the analog beat detection by looking at the lowest frequencies (the frequencies that the beat usually has) and basically just looks for the loudest frequency among them. The value is then used to make the hexagon in the middle pulsate. The digital beat detection basically just tries to make sense of the analog values return by the previous layer and detects the beats on a digital basis by comparing the individual values with the values in its environment (making up rules as to how much higher the value has to be compared to the values in its environment required a hell lot of testing with a hell lot of different songs, believe me). I use it to change the background color every time a beat is detected. The speed detection works by detecting differences in the frequency spectrum. It is important that high frequencies have a higher weight than lower frequencies since higher frequencies are generally associated with a higher speed. The whole analysis is running faster-than-real-time on a separate thread, meaning that you can start playing the game before the audio analysis is finished. That said, I tested your song in my game and it actually worked pretty well.

[@zanzlanz]

That's a very solid technique you have there! And I totally know what you mean about it being super hard to balance. Especially when accepting a wide range of genres (I know that people usually just pick a target genre and optimize it for that). One thing I noticed that might be lacking from a lot of audio analysis is the ability to compare sections of beats with each other, to create some sort of map of similar sections. Since beats are usually found in groups, pattern detection would make a lot of sense. I wonder how hard that would be to implement :) Another thing that might be PHD-worthy is using neural networks on player-created levels to optimize the analysis! Anyway, well done with your analysis! Have you posted footage of your work anywhere? I'd love to see it :D

[@zanzlanz]

Ah yeah you certainly can't do too much with a half a second of buffer. But your demo looks solid so far, so your analysis seems to work quite nicely! For sure neural nets would be impractical. But it'd be PhD-worthyyyyy ;D!

Hope to see more music,games and maybe animation.

I do have more chiptune coming up, hopefully to release next year. I was going to make an album, but albums just take SO long, so I'll probably do it track by track, alongside music videos to keep things fun. The Henry collection was a wonderful boost of not only views, but creative fulfillment and general morale. Took a lot of time, but it gave me such a great boost of energy in return! I've been putting some form of animations in my videos these days. It helps scratch that itch, even though I don't think large scale animating is really my thing as much as game development and music. But I can't say for sure what the future holds :) Thanks again, and please keep making more stuff too!

I love this, really captures the super hexagon feel!!! I’ve been trying to make similar music but LSDJ (the original program chipzel used to compose) is such a pain in the ass to use in a modern digital audio workstation environment. I’m currently trying to remake the wave synthesizer from LSDJ into a separate plugin sort of thing because honestly that’s the only LSDJ specific functionality I think is important. Great job though!

[@zanzlanz]

Thanks a lot mechy! I think there are some great emulator VSTs out there, but I've never used them personally. I sorta made my own DAW for this at first lol but it's far from authentic in any way - I'm just really happy the feel gets across! What are you using to remake the synthesizer? Best of luck with it!!

[@mechyrexic]

@@zanzlanz originally I was going to make my own VST plugin from scratch because I’ve wanted to get into audio programming/analysis stuff, but I realized making a VST plugin is actually a really long process and you have to register it and stuff which is pretty stupid. Im thinking of using another well known DAW plugin format such as LV2, but I’m still unsure, especially since other formats aren’t as widely adopted as VST. I’ve tried using the DAW emulators but it’s still a pain, it takes a lot of effort to actually compose in the emulator and have it integrate with the rest of the song. Yours sounds really authentic which is surprising, what I’ve been doing is just taking really small samples of the wave synthesizer and manually pitching them. It works but I lose a lot of flexibility and control compared to actually utilizing the original synthesizer. Hopefully when I can find the time to continue working on my plugin I can just utilize that instead of the other janky solutions that just require even more effort. Thank you btw, I’ll be sure to keep any news posted in here :)

[@zanzlanz]

@@mechyrexic It's not toooo painful to make the VST in JUCE (with a watermark) - if you're like me who doesn't code much C++, the hardest part is just working with the language itself and parsing through all the documentation haha. But ugh yeah I wish it was so much more accessible in general. Thanks for keeping me updated! You can find me in the "Chiptunes" Discord server btw if you are already there

[@mechyrexic]

@@zanzlanz oh shit I didn’t even know such a server existed, I’ll be sure to join! I know it really isn’t thaaat bad, I’m just always lacking on time and I feel like working with LSDJ in a DAW just limits my efficiency. I was looking at JUCE initially but the watermark and license turned me off from it. I think I’m probably just going to utilize a few barebones libraries to keep it plain, simple, and flexible in terms of licensing and such (it will be open source, but I don’t want any watermarks, legal obligations, etc). As for the whole C++ thing, I’ve been writing C and C++ for years so that isn’t a problem for me. It was hard for me initially because I started learning it when I was very young, but I think that ultimately ended up helping me. The information can be quite hard to gather sometimes regarding C++ (especially the inner workings, which I need to know because I reverse engineer software on the side), but I think I’m recent years it’s become more accessible from video tutorials and such. I think the most useful place to learn is right here on KZbin, watching people such as “The Cherno” and “Jacob Sorber”.

[@zanzlanz]

​@@mechyrexic I'm glad you bumped into my channel because this is such a nice interaction! I'm impressed that you're willing to jump directly into the Steinberg SDK like that. That's always been a tier beyond my confidence, knowing you really are starting from complete scratch. I observed that verrry few in the open source space pursue that route when making VSTs, which I took as a hint. Ultimately I'm hoping the same SDK can be used with Haxe, which is a language I'm much more fluent in - but I nor anyone else has attempted it afaik. Maybe some day! Honestly before then I'll probably rewrite my little DAW in it, as that sounds easier, ironically. The Cherno has some good gems :D I was watching his channel the past year actually.

[@zanzlanz]

Haha yes! The title and description of this video are quick to say exactly that ;) Thanks a lot, I'm really happy you feel it fits well alongside her soundtrack!

[@The_Moth1]

@@zanzlanzno seriously you could put this over a super hexagon level and it wouldn’t sound out of place: it would actually fit right in

[@The_Moth1]

@@zanzlanzalso did you make this with a GameBoy? (coz if ya didn’t know, she [Chipzel] makes music with a GameBoy)

[@Mee8_GD]

I love this song alot and im currently making a big project on it so i hope you like it Zanlanz if you play GD that is xD

[@zanzlanz]

YES I'm so hyped for your level, it's looking really cool! Glad my music could inspire you, thanks so much for listening :D (I can't say I play GD -- I'm hopelessly bad at it, so I don't even try lol -- but I love seeing the insane stuff people make. It's a great community!)

[@ToastGhost26]

I can't wait for Dubnia!

[@zanzlanz]

Hey thanks! Dubnia has quite a ways to go before it's presentable, but I'm so proud that it came in handy for this track ^-^

[@ToastGhost26]

How's the progress been going? It's been a year and I don't see anything about it

[@zanzlanz]

I just work on it whenever I get inspired to add a new feature :D Yesterday I added stereo channels to all the plugins, and started to make a wav importer to play samples :3 But maybe over summer I'll add some things and make a progress video on it! Thanks for your interest in it ToastGhost!

[@ToastGhost26]

I'm relieved to hear that it wasn't a scrapped idea!

[@ToastGhost26]

I dont know if you could do this, but it would be cool to be able to apply bitcrusher to samples to make them sound more chiptune-y

[@elektronationz8033]

Noice!

[@Kaylaxie]

im gonna use this for a level in OH

[@zanzlanz]

Definitely go for it! What is OH? :)

[@zanzlanz]

Ahh yes I know of Open Hexagon! Thanks :] My favorite was the last one in your video c:

[@Kaylaxie]

Zanzlanz okay ^·^

[@zanzlanz]

You may use other music for your levels if you want, I don't mind! I look forward to seeing it too :D You can find my stuff for download on SoundCloud, Bandcamp and Newgrounds. You might find something!

[@Kaylaxie]

Zanzlanz Actually, someone already used this in their own Open Hexagon level, and also the Open Hexagon community is kinda dying. I plan on making 3 or 4 more level packs. After that I want to start developing my own games and maybe I will make chiptune music for them. :3

[@DIYDamian]

disliked because the visualizer would be impossible to play cause the walls are going backwards and some patterns are impossible [its a joke I actually like the song don't kill me plz]

[@zanzlanz]

Ahh you had me! Yeah at first I wanted to make it possible in reverse, but it simply didn't look as powerful haha. Thank you :D

[@jsabsparkleanimation]

Listening to this in 2022

[@zanzlanz]

I hope chiptune remains timeless!

[@SebastianSeth]

idk if you know geometry dash but there is a guy called serponge, he makes games inside geometry dash, he already made super hexagon, this song would sound very good in that

[@СерёжаРошка-м8у]

Zanzlanz please make the next version MainBlocks of the network game
