A screenshot of a GameBoy game. The text window says "reality itself was collapsing around me." A dark, ominous structure is seen.

We'll be back soon with info on episode two, including what game we'll be playing and when 🎶

Another HYPER GROOVE AX sneak peek 👀
cianrice.dev 𝕮𝖎𝖆𝖓 (key-in) @cianrice.dev · May 26
Working on an early draft of a new, song-specific animation for HYPER GROOVE AX.

Lots of clean up and work to do on this new sword-swinging guy, but it's fun to get a little more visual variety in!

Hoping to get a new devlog up in the near future, so stay tuned.

More HYPER GROOVE AX progress!
cianrice.dev 𝕮𝖎𝖆𝖓 (key-in) @cianrice.dev · May 11
Continuing to work on some visual polish to make it easier to stay on-beat while playing my @play.date game.

There are now markers for each beat. Debating on if I should do half-beat ones that are a little more subtle or not, but happy to get this added in!

Screenshot of a black/white rhythm game for the Playdate. Two note highways are shown on each side of the screen with a hand playing piano in-between. Notes come down each highway, the score is zero, and there are also markers on each beat.

New HYPER GROOVE AX footage you say?

Original music, you say?

Sneak peek at some original HYPER GROOVE AX music in-game! Captured via @play.date mirror.

Need to update the note chart to include some more animations, lol. But things are coming along. Having a feature in-progress that isn't quite ready to show yet though.

I just submitted a build that's "ready for review" 👀

I have a couple slight adjustments to make before release, but the steam version is basically ready, barring any issues on Valve's end.

Hopefully I can announce the actual release date soon!
