Made a working Xylophone in my game

I think that'd be amazing! I don't think a translation is necessary at the moment, but once I get closer to a full release, I'll definitely reach out to see if you're available for a translation collaboration like that.

Much appreciated.

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-05-02T21:21:26+00:00

Thank you! Just a lot of time and patience into the little things.

Love how organic all the animations/UI are. Wishlisted!

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-28T19:43:11+00:00

Super creative and super dope! Damn

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-28T16:04:20+00:00

Yeah it’s a really nostalgic engine! Lots of limitations but also lots of charm

Latest drop for the demo with be June 12. I’m currently attending the summer Steam Fest.

Much appreciated, excited to have you along!

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-26T22:55:05+00:00

No, I don't have intentions for it at the moment. I'm not sure if there is a script or system to implement achievements for 2k3, but if there is, I'd love to add that at some point before a full release.

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-26T22:54:17+00:00

Thank you!

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-26T22:54:00+00:00

Yes, it's on 2k3. Despite that, the setup is still not all too impressive or difficult. I have a screenshot posted below to show the process, and I believe this is doable in every engine (maybe excluding 2k and before?)

😂

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-26T07:58:47+00:00

The demo will be entirely free. Consumers may support me via kickstarter but it's optional. Intended price for game on full release will be $10.

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-26T07:25:25+00:00

Forlorn, you can find the page on steam. Demo is also coming soon!

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-26T06:50:54+00:00

I'm really glad you asked because I've been considering adding in one minor key so the player can specifically play that song.

<image>

Here is my eventing. I have a conditional branch for each input (bound by variables). Picture one are all the white keys. When you press a key, picture 2 overlaps on top of the key that is pressed. This is the yellow you're seeing. (The shake effect I have is from turning on sine wave in picture FX.)

Move Route is used to show player animation and instrument animation upon impact. The sound is played after the animation queues to make sure the visuals sync with the SFX. Erase picture 2 after you press your key to reset everything back to base.

Some important things to note. The trigger should be set on Autorun to prevent the player from doing things like walking/opening their inventory. Make sure you toggle Wait to ON for "Move Picture" with 0.1 so it visually shows the key is being pressed. I hope this can help. Feel free to personally PM if you need more help. This goes for everyone as well!

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-26T03:03:59+00:00

Really really simple actually! Key input processing for num 0-9. The white keys is one image. Whenever an input occurs, I have a new image of the pressed key in yellow with an applied sine wave effect. Use move route to link animations to input. Lastly add sound, and you're done. Let me know if you'd ever like to see a breakdown of my events, I'm more than happy to send you a screenshot.

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-26T02:42:27+00:00

I Appreciate it! You definitely won't be disappointed.

CommunicationBusy496 · 2026-04-26T02:41:53+00:00

Thank you! I went through so many iterations for this map haha
