beatblock early access QnA. tomorrow, august 31st at 6PM EST. be there or be square. or round. cranky isn't a square. this message is falling apart

wysi

teaser tuesday: early access Q&A soon! we are working hard

teaser tuesday: Very Important Visual Work. pinky promise (this is also WIP!) as for the tunes- this is "3-Bit Bebop" by Florence Winters!

types of comments i see on our yt shorts: "what game is this" (spoken with the game logo in clear view on every short) "this is like undyne!!" (no notes. this is a pretty fair comparison) "you could make this in GD" (are you deadass) positive comments too but those aren't funny

NEW DEMO UPDATE!! i went to the huxley j. sidenote exhibit and all i got was this stupid hat and a new tutorial check what's new here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/304... ( ^^ )=)

ummm. hm

I *did* eventually find one under a good license, so enjoy this cryptic Beatblock teaser.

cranky commits arson (colorized)

hi hi! with our early access on the way, we want to know: what questions do you have! we'll do our best to answer, and put the most frequent ones into a video for the sake of clarity ^^

credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

one of our artists made this image unprompted and sent it to me as "the concept sheet you definitely requested." we're being gaslit

teaser tuesday: we missed the last few. this one's more substantial. check it store.steampowered.com/news/app/304...

my automation curves.... hepl

teaser tuesday: woe. cats upon ye

teaser t- oh it's wednesday again. oops what if there were eases? what if there were MORE eases? then you could do something like this music by @wangleline.com as part of our community charting jam, BUILDING BLOCKS!

teaser tuesday. besides this incredibly zoomed-in image (no spoilers here!) a little update on development! we have base gameplay done for a lot of our songs, and we're starting to dig into the visual side of things as well as difficulty variants. things are Cooking ^^

new note type dropped

teaser tuesday: the side note has a long, storied history that predates the inclusion of cranky in beatblock as we know it today. a guided audio tour will be made available upon release

teaser tuesday! you ever miss a single note in a chart? what if there was a rank for it

despite their visual similarities, the beatblock and aseprite logos do not share a common ancestor. this is instead a form of convergent evolution biologists have taken to calling "crankinization"

from our discord moderator aedrien. happy woke month

itch HATES us for our BEATBLOCK SWAG. two for two on "uploading a beatblock build and watching itch immediately crash" (the first time was during the launch of our initial demo)

DEMO ANNIVERSARY!! while development continues, we have some gifts for y'all ^^ first off: new event in the discord! the music artists we work with have graciously let us use their clips as a charting exercise. more deets below 🧵

If I had a nickel for every time itch.io went down as soon as we released something on the @beatblock.bsky.social page I'd have two nickels.

our demo anniversary in two days... the past year has felt like a blur ( o o,)=) ty to everyone who's stuck with us so far! more news soon ^^

TIER LIST: Beatblock: 10, no notes beatblock: 10, sometimes you just don't want to capitalize things i get it BEATBLOCK: 5, I mean I guess? BeatBlock: 3 Beat block: 2, no.
