Hello !
~Thumbnail Gif~
Finally, I’m so excited to talk about this project that we started like a year ago.
I love making VFX, but the only thing I prefer is making my own games. So, why can’t I do both ?
For the Ludum Dare 41, we created a little game called Rhythm Overdrive, with two friends of mine. (I’ve already made a little post here about it !) Our game was based on a really simple concept : mix two incompatible game genres. So basically we decided to make a rhythmic shooting game 
based on neons and electronic music. 
We had a lot of positive feedback ! We even managed to be ranked something like 50th on overall.
After this experience, we were really motivated, so we began to plan a new and complete version of our game. We worked on it only on our free time, because we had others activities, and one year later, it came out ! We released it like a month ago on Steam.
Before I say anything else, I let you with the trailer of the game !
It was my really first entire game project experience, and I am proud that we managed to release it. On my side, I did all the art of the game (except the text font), including VFX, shaders, UI design, ennemies, backgrounds, and even Steam layouts and achievements 
. Some things were harder to make than others (I’m not a really good UI designer).
Also, we needed good music for our game, and we had no choice than to find artists with whom we can collaborate, and this is why I really want to thanks the artists that accepted to help us to make this project a reality ( you guys rocks 
) :
Waterflame
DJ Striden
DJ Harmonics
Elektronomia
Before I conclude, here is a little overview of what I’ve done in the game (I cannot put everything, but I tried to show the most important) :
It was such a great project to work on, and even if the game is pretty unknown and will probably be forgotten (we are really bad at making communication lol), it’s not a problem, because I’ve learned so much, and I’m already planning to make another game with a friend 
That’s it, I really hope it was not too painful to read (walls of text…) feel free to ask me anything about this !
And now, it’s time for me to jump into the VFX sketch 22, I have some cool ideas 
We only asked some friends to test our game to have some feedback during development, but we should’ve done some playtests with more people. Also, it’s not mentionned, but there is an option in the settings menu to control glow in the game, so every player can configure the post process like they want
