No Straight Roads - DJ Subatomic Supernova Gameplay Demo

Looks like a work-in-progress at the moment. A lot of the assets seem to be unfinished and the music doesn't sound to be implemented correctly yet, or at least I hope it isn't because it's really quiet in the boss battle. Honestly I just hope they do this right because the concept and everything in this demo seem really cool.

It kinda feels weird to have the main characters interrupt the soundtrack with their own abrupt outta place sounds. I was kinda hoping that your attacks or actions would kinda go along with the music, almost like a rhythm game.

[@RealmSprinter]

this boss is by far my most favourite concept, his voice actor did a really good job too, but I'm a bit sad that they didn't do him enough justice :'0 he's a DJ and has a sort pompous personality, right? they shouldve given him a stronger club vibe in the beginning before the fight and enhanced his voice's volume when he was introducing himself. Would've given a stronger effect. I love this game, the concept and the art for it, but the animation for the main characters are a bit choppy, not bad but needs some smoothing. The voice for most of the characters need some work too. The idea for the game is really brilliant and i hope they can really outdo themselves bc this'll be one of few really well done games from Malaysia, and I'd like to see more from them soon :'D

[@bot7070]

everythings great so far, i really love this guys va and movements but problem is the battle sequences incoming long suggestion for a game about music, theres barely any semblence to music besides the enemys attacks theres this one solution though itll take much more time, to make the attacks have some sort of bonus when in beat with the song and making rock versions of the tracks for each boss fight so whenever either maybe they get a combo going or activate a machine using their music, it would fit in the stage and slightly over power the bosses music signaling that youre actually winning (a small example would be cytus 2 character selection menu where each character has a version of their take on the main song so when you slide to another character, the music keeps the melody but still showing the characters specialty)

[@sourpuss5951]

That's exactly what I was thinking. The weaker the boss gets the more it sounds like rock instrumentally. And also having attacks sfx that sync with the music, since powering up the satellite cannons just produces a shredding sound that doesn't fit in with the beat.

[@soulreaver6546]

The point is they are rebelling against a corporation, why follow the beat when they are trying to stand out?

There are currently only videos of TWO bosses so far, and even then the yinu & mother boss got abruptly cut off so we don’t even know if THAT’S finished yet.

[@codebracker]

Music: Good, but could be better, also it should be louder, this is supposed to be a disco. Mechanics: Really cool and stylised, but attacking the boss via homing collected notes feels really unimpactful, I think they should either fire automatically or fire a big burst when you collect a certain number of them. Gameplay: The dodging and hitting stuff is cool but it really clashes with the music, I'd either make it sync up with the boss theme or have it play it's own tune. Also I can't tell when the player is getting hit. Camera: Amazing in the section when he shifts the orbits and the black hole, but in the main section it's so low I can't really tell on what lane the player even is. Player character: I don't like them personally, they feel so... unenthusiastic and dismissive.
