Concerto on White Devlog: A Symphony of Passion and Dreams

Concerto on White Devlog: A Symphony of Passion and Dreams

22K View2023-10-08
Hello to all music and game enthusiasts, Senk here. As the hype for Indie Spotlight launches, I wanted to pause and dive into the heartbeats and melodies that shaped this project.

Rethinking Rhythm Games

Lately, I've noticed many rhythm games narrowing down the vast world of music to just its beat. With my background deeply rooted in East Asian music, I've always held the melody in high regard. Watching the market streamline and simplify music this way felt off-key. So, back in 2016, an idea formed: a game that brings together rhythm and pitch, painting a full musical picture. Enter, Concerto on White. Instead of just tapping to the rhythm, you play the actual melody, mimicking the mechanics of a violin or guitar. For those familiar with rhythm games, this is pure melody immersion!

The Symphony of Characters and Narrative

Why introduce stories and personas? In the early days, Concerto on White aimed to simulate the joy of impromptu duets, with each partner introducing their unique instrument and style. With these musical maestros crafted, it seemed natural to spin a tale around them. While the dream of perfectly guiding players in spontaneous compositions proved challenging, we've integrated this concept into our roguelike boss encounters.

A World Where Melodies Resonate

Without giving away too much, in Concerto on White, you'll enroll as a gifted student in a renowned music academy. Your journey starts with a mysterious twist, leading you to collaborate with fellow musicians and uncover the hidden enigma. Rather than humanizing instruments, which felt overdone, characters in our story project the essence of instruments. This crafts a futuristic setting where individuals channel psychic energies to produce music โ€“ inspired by "A Certain Magical Index" and "From the New World".

Anticipating the Next Note

Concerto on White is now open for pre-registration on TapTap! Pre-register now for the game and stay tuned for our playtest in the upcoming Indie Spotlight event in October!
We're gearing up for a thrilling release in summer 2024. As we fine-tune every note and interaction, I'm eager to hear your thoughts, especially on any quirks or bugs you might encounter.
Embarking on this Concerto on White journey has been a blend of my music-driven soul, academic insights, and a dream to change rhythm games. I hope you find as much joy in playing as I found in crafting it.
To the melodies that unite us,
Senk from C11 Games.

I really hope they allow custom levels, I know it's meant for piano songs but still it would be really fun

[Indie Spotlight] Rhythm and Storytelling for your ears | Review - Concerto on White (Demo)
I was fortunate enough to be able to try out the Android demo for the upcoming Concerto on White, and I was pleasantly impressed by its blend of rhythm-based gaming, musical simulation, and visual novel style storytelling. ๐Ÿ“–Story Concerto on White starts off your character as a newly accepted โ€” rejected rather โ€” applicant of a prestigious musical university. But somehow this decision gets mysteriously overturned and you find yourself still enrolled. Itโ€™s our first day, and we meet the professor and his teaching assistant for our first music class. Of course, part of the gameplay is experiencing slice-of-life-esque adventurous campus life in this prestigious music academy, and Iโ€™m also seeing traces of date sim elements, especially with the female characters. However, the game isnโ€™t a slice-of-life experience as it may seem, as it plunges the player into an intriguing larger-than-life mystery early on.

More than a Rhythm Music Game, Playing Music with Actual Music Game Creator ๐ŸŽถ
My story with Senk It was a great honor to have invited Concerto on White to TapTap Indie Spotlight event. I had the privilege of chatting with the game's creator, Senk, for quite some time. Senk's vision for the game is to create a music simulation game that goes beyond mere rhythm simulation, and that got me really excited. (by the way, you should really read his devlog; it could bring great inspiration to those who have a passion for doing their own. )
