Dev Note

This is still just a prototype. The plan is to have a bunch of rhythm minigames set up in a visual novel style to tell a compelling and overarching story. This project is far from being completed, but I just wanted to show off a little of what I've been developing.

Because this is a prototype, all assets shown are not final. Some assets are just placeholders and will not be used in the final product. Credit is given to their respectful owners.

What is

Starborn is a visual novel game with elements of rhythm minigames. The game will mostly consist of dialogue, but on specific in-game events, the player will be prompted with a Rhythm Heaven style minigame that they must complete in order to progress. These minigames will be simple for anyone to do, but must be done rhythmically in order to pass. They’ll be prompted for things such as accessing a robot, giving someone CPR, or making a cocktail drink. 

You play as Bugz, a man living in a big city with the dream of becoming the greatest lyricist ever. Unfortunately, he’s down on his luck, living in a junkyard, and having a hard time making friends. His luck changes when he spots a broken down robot named Enerdroyd in an abandoned factory making sick beats. After their first interaction, the two become friends.

This game is so far planned to have

• 30+ unique rhythm minigames
• Rhythm style boss fights
• 11 volumes of story, all split into chapters
• Bilingual support, with dialogue and voicelines in different languages
• An Endless Mode
• An Easy Mode (for people who are new to rhythm games)

I hope to create a way where you can contribute to the game in anyway possible. But so far, just playing my prototype, leaving feedback and incite, is good enough for me.

Your support means the world to me. If you have any questions or found any bugs, feel free to get in contact with me, either through here, or on my Discord.
