[Notice] Introduction to <Nastrond> [2]
Hello! I'm Red Clover, the developer of . I'm participating in INDIE BOOST LAB to gather valuable feedback from players like you! is set in "Oasis," a middle-world hidden behind the human realm. The story follows the protagonist, Ray, who follows a mysterious figure while wandering and ends up working as a bartender at Nastrond, a jazz bar in Oasis. There is only one rule in Nastrond: "Shake the momentum, mix the rhythm." Customers can challenge the bartender to a duel. As the music flows and the customer gets into the groove, the bartender must shake the shaker to the beat to craft the perfect drink. If your momentum outshines the customer's, you can earn the drink's price as a bonus. The demo offers about 30 minutes of gameplay, and we expect the full release to be around 3 hours. We would appreciate your interest! I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful day!

[FreeTalk] The current improvement plan that I've roughly made.
Actually, I thought about the Taiko no Tatsujin method, but that was possible because there was something special about Taiko, and in the end, since this uses the keyboard, I tried to make it compatible with the keyboard.First of all....Let's reduce the keys to two.There were no good points for players so far by making it into 4 keys. So I chose EO. This is... I just chose it randomly. Actually, I tried to grab the chart as my hands went.The other chart, the original WO, was also grabbed with F J, but I thought it would be a good idea to describe these as increasing in size when they come inside, because they are charts that need to be held for a long time. I was thinking about thinking of other charts in a way that they get a little bigger... but I don't know where the player's eyes will go...Anyway, I made it.I thought it was right to delete two charts rather than anything else. I thought that it was good that there were 5 charts in the first place in vertical formats or Project Diva-like series. That's what I think, but since my head isn't working properly... that's the conclusion I came to...

[BigEnergy] Participate in the event [1]
I find meaning in participating...Pouring in from the left and right, and the note colors are mixed with yellow/green/purple, so I'm not getting used to it as much as I thought.. The judgment is good, but I can't press it even though I see it because of the dumb issue..ใ ใ

[BigEnergy] I'm participating in the event. [1]
I'm not very good at rhythm games anyway, but Nastrond has notes coming from both the left and right sides, so I felt like I had a mysterious experience where the commands of the left and right brains were mixed up. ๐ตโ๐ซI tried my best and reached 193,000 points. I had fun playing.

[DevLog] We would like to discuss the issues that have been continuously raised. [10]
Hello, this is RedClover.Since the start of the demo test, the issue of has been continuously raised, and we would like to have a discussion with our tester users about it. was planned as a bilateral rhythm game where notes come from both sides, adopting a โhorizontalโ format to break away from the conventional โverticalโ style of typical rhythm games and provide a unique kind of fun. During internal testing, most reactions were โIt feels fresh and goodโ or โItโs complicated only at first, but once you get used to it, itโs quite fun,โ so we thought it would be fine.However, we failed to predict how high of a barrier this would be for first-time players. The main issues we have identified so far are as follows: Quality issues with the tutorial We realized it needs to guide players more slowly and step-by-step. Absence of various environment settings Issues such as lack of key setting and resolution options are being fixed

[FreeTalk] First, I tried to find the problems while playing the game. [1]
It's half whining. You can ignore it.To be honest, the visibility is the worst.To be exact, even the key chart is a mess.But you said you would allow key chart settings, but I have nothing to say, but the biggest problem in this situation isAfter all, you can't see which key chart to hit when hitting the key chart. What they taught in the tutorial is what they taught, and the things you don't remember are those things.I think it would be better to enlarge the chart board or enlarge what you see on the chart board, or you could change the direction of the chart.But there are many things to pay attention to on both sides, and the trap chart WO is actually worse? In fact, there is a chart that you shouldn't hit, which is a trap chart, but from the player's point of view, W O is more of a trap chart.I thought about why this happened.To be honest, the eye movement is a bit severe. There are too many things to look at on both sides, but there are so many things to do?Well, to be honest, there's a bit of a problem even if you ignore the character. I won't say reduce the number of charts. I even play Project Diva...But it's true that the coming charts are quite annoying.The problem is that I'm not used to playing with the keyboard so far.I don't know why I'm not getting used to it... I thought there must be a reason why I'm not getting used to it. I guess it's because I'm not good enough.This time, the gaze ping-pong phenomenon is really the problem. If it's up and down, I'll get used to it, or if it's a button type like Project Diva, it might be easier.Anyway, it has to be a chart with good visibility, but the fact that both the top and bottom are in the same position is no different, and it was quite difficult to get used to.The visibility is that bad...I've only thought this far, but more UI segmentation is needed.
