Battle of The Bands: Orientation Day

Share Collapse

Author Comments

In Battle of the Bands: Orientation Day you started the semester a bit later than most and now you have to make a band? In our Rhythm based RPG you'll be dueling against the lackeys of your rivals along with potential teammates. BOTB: Orientation Day is what I like to call the Appetizer (you can quote me on it), it's still a part of the entire meal but helps you get a feel for what's to come.

The Team:

Our team consists of Students from CSUF that banded together to make a name for ourselves. For over a year and a half we worked diligently on this demo from the ground up and went through many different stages to get to where we are. We have shown off various versions of this demo and even got into some Showcases with it. From us to you we hope you enjoy this taste of what's to come and provide feedback we need to improve our vision.


Disclaimer: What you are currently playing is Part 1 of 2 for Battle of the Bands: Orientation Day, it is not entirely bug free. If you do encounter any bugs please be sure to screen capture the current scene and the log, to access the log simply press the Tab button. Then be sure to send an email to this account lildudesofficial23@gmail.com with info on the platform you are currently playing on, browser type, and a detailed description of your run that lead up to the bug. We may or may not make changes to the current version of Orientation Day, depending on the severity of said bug as we are trying to focus our attention on the development of Part 2 of Orientation Day.


Helpful Hints

  • For Movement you will need to use W A S D and you will use E to interact with NPC's.
  • During the battle scene there are two phases Attack and Defense:
  • During this section ENTER will be used to confirm your choice between Attack/Move/End Turn.
  • Attack: During this phase you will be using the keys D F J and K, there will be notes coming down from the top to the bottom and you will have to make sure you hit the notes with their corresponding keys on beat. If you hit the keys too early or too late hardly any damage will be dealt, always try to hit the notes perfectly.
  • Defense: After Attacking your opponent the battle will shift to the defense phase, during this time you will need to press the Spacebar on beat with the notes that are coming towards you from the right side of the screen.
  • During the battle scene you will be able to move your character to different positions or swap spots with your current ally. But beware that certain enemies will lock onto you or your ally.

pretty cool game and idea but the bugs are fuckin wit me

I love Rhythm games. the gameplay was creative. The dialogue is not the best. The ending was kinda crap and kind of ruined the game for me. But I still enjoyed the gameplay!

JDsy27 responds:

Hey there sorry this is all late but i was wondering, what about the ending was lacking for the demo? If you got the time shoot me a PM, I accept any and all suggestions within reason. :)

this have so potential!

Esta perfecto el juego, me encanto, lo que sucede es que a veces al darle en el botón de atacar, Pasa como si ya presionamos el botón, pero no hace ninguna acción, y toca reiniciar el juego.

Buena idea, falta pulir
