[KeiDash]

Hi all,

DESCRIPTION:
BeatTendency (BT), it's a music game like BeatMania, DJHero, etc. A game where your ability with your ears and your fingers go hand in hand. Our purpose is "make gotcha" with the chords at the rhythm of the music and get good points to overcome the level.


SYSTEM:
The game it's develop for Sega Dreamcast console with BennuGD. The idea born from the need for do my own game and let me know as "new indie game developer", because I'm a software developer but I want be a game developer, so this will be my first game, but not is the game that I really want do, I'm explain it:

For me, this is a starter project in the world of videogame development. I hope that this game give it to me the knowledge for do the real game that I want to do in the future, whit codename RILH (2020 possible publication date)

I'm not discard make ports to other systems like PSP, GP2X or Sega Saturn.

GRAPHICS:
As you can see, the game graphically the game isn't be remarkable. The motive is that I'm not a designer and I don't have one either. I'm loking for one, so if any one is interested please contact with me by pm or my social media links.

SOUND/MUSIC:
In this section, I'm going to use sound effects and music with a free use and distribution, naming each composer in the game and with a previous authorization. If any one is interested in collaborate in this section, please, contact with me by pm or my social media links.

SOME SCREENS:

Hi all,

Well, I'm working really hard during the last month. I was working with a "time calculator in Dreamcast" for synchronize the music and the chords in the game. I solved it this week so the progress comes in a constant and normally velocity, resume, in a good way

The main screen has changed, the game graphs has changed too.

I hope show at all something better in the next month
