NG Musicians listen up!

Posted by Coolio-Niato Jan. 17, 2009 @ 5:17 PM EST

Want some free publicity on your music? Want your songs to be listened to by hundreds? Then check this game out:

RhythmWorld

Any song on the NG Audio Portal can be synced into the game and then hundreds of people will have access to play it! Some songs may even be featured if they are well synced/popular! So don't miss this chance to get your music out there more! Currently the game is only on the Armorgames site but within a week XceeD and I will spread it all over the web, including Newgrounds.

Get your music in now! Tell your friends to play too and rate your songs up as well (more likely to be featured if it's high rated). Bring the world together with your music!

-Coolio n' XceeD

cool game dude it rocks but what is id#? i dont know how to put it to added a song

Jan. 17, 2009 | 5:39 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

It's the ID number of the song on NG. (The big number at the end of the link to the song)


Jan. 17, 2009 | 5:42 PM thelittleemo says:

very nice dude!!! i like how theres 2 different ways to play the songs with the circle and the guitar! i also like how you can search for your own songs to play, well nice job dude!

Jan. 17, 2009 | 5:53 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

3 different ways :) Just the last way is rly hard to play so not many people make songs for it.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 5:50 PM FrozenFire says:

This game is really cool. The idea of user created music levels is fucking tight.

Jan. 17, 2009 | 5:53 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

Thanx :)


Jan. 17, 2009 | 6:22 PM SulferDragon says:

This is a cool idea. It's kind of like a FlashFlashRevolution (The DJ game is also very similar to SpinItUp), only anyone is free to add their steps without having to go through a set of judges. The fact that you can directly import a song from the audio portal is brilliant. I could see myself spending hours making charts to songs for this game.

However, the editor is quite flawed. I honestly don't know what kind of capabilities the editor could have in flash, but it doesn't give you nearly enough freedom. The fact that you have to record the notes and can't go through the song freely placing them is extremely frustrating, and it makes it nearly impossible to get everything on sync. At the least, it would be nice if you could see the notes, move them around to get them on sync, and test the file before you save it. If you're familiar with the step editor in the DDR games you'll know what I mean.

I've grown up on rhythm games and have played StepMania (a free DDR simulator for your computer that lets you create and sync steps to any song you want) for years, so I know a LOT about placing notes to beats. I'm just throwing my thoughts out. I'm sure a lot of people are happy with the game, or should I say the editor, the gameplay is fine, but if the editor gave me more freedom to work with the charts... oh, man... I would make it my duty to dominate the highest ranked and most popular boards.

Oh, and I did try making some steps... it, eh, didn't turn out so well. I should memorize a short song and try again.

Cheers,

Sulfer

Jan. 17, 2009 | 6:24 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

Thanks for all the comments. We'll definitly think about it more if we ever make a sequel. The only reason we made it so simple to begin with is just so ANYONE, young or old, could do it with no problems. Of course syncing songs would be harder, and mistakes more often, but watchu gonna do right :)


Jan. 17, 2009 | 6:24 PM MrAbnormal says:

Quite cool. I never look at instructions much so I didn't know what to do at first. But its awesome. Seriously, cool. Good work.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 6:31 PM SulferDragon says:

btw, is there any way to delete one of your songs? Let's say, I made a chart to something, but wanted to try again. I don't want to clutter the game with a half dozen different versions of it.

Jan. 17, 2009 | 6:43 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

not at the moment but we are implementing that in now before we release further.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 6:59 PM RedStripedd says:

Niice


Jan. 17, 2009 | 7:14 PM g0m says:

I've seen huge community-track made music games before, but never in flash, and it was never so easy to make something. Amazing as usual!


Jan. 17, 2009 | 7:28 PM gregaaron89 says:

Awesome, I'll chart one of my songs later (it's not one of my best but it's one of my most popular and is kind of the only one that works for a rhythm game) :P


Jan. 17, 2009 | 7:57 PM SBB says:

fuck, I just released my shitty test run haha


Jan. 17, 2009 | 8:22 PM Josh-B says:

Oh, man. This game is something I've been waiting for. Check out Discordant Nocturne. Its a bitch synching a 5 1/2 minute song.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 8:23 PM Fuoco says:

Already uploaded a couple of songs.

Woah, and I saved one where you do nothing until the end.

Jan. 17, 2009 | 10:05 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

Heh.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 8:27 PM J4mi3008 says:

Man, this game is really hard for me, even on easy :/ I don't play many games lol.

Jan. 17, 2009 | 10:05 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

Hehe.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 9:03 PM pickleman77 says:

Woah a few of my songs are already on there! Coooool!!!

Jan. 17, 2009 | 10:05 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

Sweet :)


Jan. 17, 2009 | 9:35 PM BoMToons says:

You're heavily leveraging the NG audio portal and structure, but didn't even release it on NG 1st? That seems strange to me, the game concept, though, is absolutely fantastic. Choice of screen size and menu system, as I mentioned before, is really text heavy and cluttered...but the platform you guys have made is genius.

Jan. 17, 2009 | 10:05 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

It'll get there :) It's like... a little setup before NG gets it. We're constantly modding the system to work a bit better before the web-wide release.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 10:29 PM I-smel says:

Ha! It was a matter of time before someone made this game. Good job.

I feel like I'n helping someone by playing it, but that's probably an overstatement.
You should be able to test a song right after syncing it.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 10:29 PM Starogre says:

cool! the only problem i have with it though is when i'm quickly going back and forth, the swf width seems a bit too narrow and the controls become unresponsive when i go a pixel distance out of the game and it ruined a lot of my combos

but its fun nonetheless! nice.

Jan. 18, 2009 | 12:02 AM Coolio-Niato responds:

:(
:D


Jan. 17, 2009 | 10:42 PM gankro says:

more like rhythm world-sans-Antartica-and-probably-mos t-of-Africa-and-Asia
NE WAYS

I highly suggest different builder modes:
fast draft (what you have now)
segmental (like what you have now but can do one part at a time [like in dj disks move the mouse and then in a seperate tun click]
Complex (something similar to the frame system of flash... or something.)

Jan. 18, 2009 | 12:01 AM Coolio-Niato responds:

i'll see.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 10:55 PM HLG says:

pretty neato

Jan. 18, 2009 | 12:01 AM Coolio-Niato responds:

niato


Jan. 17, 2009 | 11:11 PM pickleman77 says:

For some reason, when I click save, the song doesn't save at all. What's the problem?

Jan. 18, 2009 | 12:01 AM Coolio-Niato responds:

ur putting less than 30 notes in.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 11:57 PM mariomusicmaker1 says:

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jan. 18, 2009 | 12:01 AM Coolio-Niato responds:

yeaaaaaaaa


Jan. 18, 2009 | 12:00 AM luigipwnsmario says:

i really dont like the elite beat agents-ish one, i cant maneuver my mouse that fast. but the rest was really good.

Jan. 18, 2009 | 12:24 AM Coolio-Niato responds:

that one is tough, but i think it just takes time getting used to. People have to realize that for that one, songs have to be synced extra slow.


Jan. 18, 2009 | 1:05 AM mariomusicmaker1 says:

no sereously, i have been playing for the last hour or so. WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!


Jan. 18, 2009 | 1:11 AM Fuoco says:

Woo! I beat Orr's Four Brave Champions at 100%!


Jan. 18, 2009 | 7:28 AM Lesjuh says:

Wow, this is great!!! So many songs to play xD Two different ways to play and multiple difficulty's. It's Ultimate :D


Jan. 18, 2009 | 8:34 AM Super-FZL says:

Oh, I tried that game on ArmorGames. It is impossibly cool! I like how there's three ways to play. A Guitar Hero thing, an Elite Beat Agents thing, and a disk spinning thing. THis game is just way too awesome. Do not play if you are pregnant or have a heart condition.


Jan. 18, 2009 | 10:03 AM SAROTH says:

AWESOME!!!


Jan. 20, 2009 | 10:26 PM blackblade9 says:

to anyone who plays this game i dare you to try the song doomed angel, its probably the most hardest song in the game :D


Jan. 21, 2009 | 6:25 PM 7IsUnlucky says:

what
youre 17
i thought you were 15 or something
well you were a couple years ago anyways

Jan. 22, 2009 | 3:41 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

Jan. 22, 2009 | 3:32 PM Mattster says:

You are awesome.

Probably the best programmer on Newgrounds, well besides me.

. . . Owned.
LOL
Good work ^_^

Jan. 22, 2009 | 3:42 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

Thanks for the AWESOME compliment :D


Jan. 22, 2009 | 4:08 PM sammontague says:

4.35 outa 5 id say


Jan. 22, 2009 | 8:37 PM Matt-Porter says:

Definitely the greatest Rhythm flash game on the net. I've been feeling that my Rhythm section on my website was a bit bland, this is a perfect edition. I'm actually gong to make the icon for the Rhythm category this games icon, it's worthy. Anyway, perfect work on the whole database idea, you hit it dead on. I'm going to go add this to my site now, keep up the awesome work, both of you.

Jan. 22, 2009 | 9:29 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

Thanks a ton man :) Glad you like it that much.


Jan. 23, 2009 | 6:07 PM altiar4 says:

dude your awesome i can finally tell my frends im on a game when you have the time plz try out my music on the game ignition: ( the 2 dots are supposed to be there plz try it


Jan. 23, 2009 | 11:33 PM rascencion says:

authors should be forced to play their own songs once it gets submitted to the "newest" portal so they can see how bad it is and think twice about pressing save.


Jan. 24, 2009 | 12:01 AM rascencion says:

its also depressing seeing good pieces getting pushed down by the same song and author.

what makes it worst was the song was some linkin park remake.


Jan. 24, 2009 | 12:14 PM hagaya says:

This game is so sexy.
keep it up.
<3 hagisan.

Jan. 24, 2009 | 8:00 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

<3 :)


Jan. 25, 2009 | 10:59 PM kittenclock says:

This is amazing the amount of work gone into this is unbelievable. How did you compress a multiplayer massive song game into 260 kb that deserves some kind of award for this feat of programming. This is the only music based game that I got a high score on, because of the cd mixing feature. This should also go on the front page of the audio portal to replace the visualizer.

Jan. 27, 2009 | 12:01 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

Ahaha. It's cause all of the database and songs are loaded externally.


Jan. 26, 2009 | 3:12 AM Night-Mare says:

You're games are sexy and smooth.

Jan. 27, 2009 | 12:01 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

STICKYAAAAA


Jan. 27, 2009 | 3:52 PM HaniiPuppy says:

You should make a mobile version of this for the iphone/ipod touch - the ones that involve moving the mouse would be practically perfect for it.

Also, it would make the process of adding a new song a lot easier if we were presented with a piano roll of what we've played after playing it free for editing.

Jan. 27, 2009 | 10:04 PM Coolio-Niato responds:

dont get ur hopes up its not gonna happen.


Jan. 28, 2009 | 3:03 AM HaniiPuppy says:

It may not happen, but the game would be a good match for it :P


Jan. 28, 2009 | 12:15 PM Warchamp7 says:

Coolio, I've been a long time fan but this game is genius. You've taken 3 popular rhythm game styles and smashed them together into a game with endless content.

This is beyond impressive. Excellent excellent work


Jan. 29, 2009 | 8:52 AM The-Syncher says:

omg i...i..am your newest slave


Jan. 29, 2009 | 11:08 PM big-jake69 says:

It's really cool seeing you work your way up to this level of production quality. Just how much better looking they are froim you first games amaze me. Good Job and keep it up.


Jan. 30, 2009 | 7:08 PM blackblade9 says:

something wrong is happening with the game right now>:(. songs r getting deleted. i remember there were over 5000 songs and now only 3000? y???


Feb. 1, 2009 | 11:22 AM nasifc says:

that game is awsome


Feb. 5, 2009 | 6:20 PM skwrlzrevil says:

That is odd... 3 of my songs dissappeared? At least two of them that vanished were the ones that I wanted to delete. Is there a glitch or something?
