i just put out the epilogue cutscene for rhythmverse mods project 2, my notitg mods collection/video project ive been working on for the past few years :D

i'm really happy with how it turned out… even though figuring out the plot as it went along was rocky lol, i had a lot of fun doing silly arrow tricks and drawing my guys

you can check out the full playlist here!

i can imagine tumblr going crazy trying to figure out whats gonna happen next and make theories as to why and how stuff happen. also the rip tournament lore as well.

seeing the words Not In The Groove in your comment made me gasp irl i love that game its such a damn banger

have this gif its funny i think

Always happy to see another NotITG fan! It's truly criminal how few people know about this game. And I've been meaning to learn the chart in that gif for a while. Maybe soon 🤔

Also, this means I now have an excuse to yell about this game to the sorry fools who made the mistake of following me. So...

(Moderate photosensitivity warning btw, this stuff can get spicy for the eyes)

HYPERFIXATION BE UPON YE

I now get the chance to talk about a game I feel exceedingly n̸͓̒̍o̶̹̿͠r̷͚͇͗m̴͈͒̐a̸̝͉̒ĺ̶̹̹̆about.

What's NotITG??

Not In The Groove, or NotITG/nITG for short, is a rhythm game with some of the craziest & most creative visuals you'll ever see. It's an extravaganza of colors, music, and lots and lots of arrows. Words don't do it justice though, so here's an example:

(HiTECH NINJA - Technician's High)

(Chart by Exschwasion + Tetaes)

Whoa, what the fuck was that? Is that even readable?

Yes it is, I promise! It just takes some practice. These are made to be not only doable, but completely feasible to read & learn. They wouldn't be fun otherwise. It's also not nearly as bad as it looks at first glance, especially if you know what sort of stuff you should be looking out for.

In fact, here are some things that can make it a little easier to parse:

The colors of the arrows are indicative of the timing (reds are on quarter notes, blues are eighth notes, greens are sixteenth notes, etc). This means it's possible to identify the rhythm of a song even if you've never heard it before.

If visual effects are getting particularly crazy, it can be helpful to read ahead and quickly memorize a "chunk" of notes to play while your vision is impaired, picking back up when the screen is clearer.

Charts (the arrows for a given song) are made to be played on a dance pad, with your feet. Furthermore, any half-decent chart commits to having good flow (or posture) meaning that the patterns you see are made to be "stepped" through with alternating* feet. This vastly limits the number of possible patterns that can be thrown at you. So if you happen to lose your place while reading the chart, it's very feasible to infer what the next few steps will be, giving you a chance to recover.

(*depending on the song, a chart may have you hit the same step multiple times with the same foot. There are other exceptions too but that could warrant its own section entirely)

If you want a way better explanation of this stuff, some prominent devs in the community did a great job covering all of it during the game's exhibition during AGDQ2022!

This looks completely and utterly insane, there's no way I'd ever be able to play this!

That's where you're wrong, bucko! They aren't all made to be difficult! There are plenty of easier charts out there to learn the basics on & get your bearings. Some of my favorites include:

(Chroma - Phantom Train Journey)

(Chart by Kaypooma)

(Sakuzyo - Altale)

(Chart by PlasticRainbow + mrcool909090)

How do these even get made?

Good old programming! Also math. Lots and lots of math. You wanna make the arrow follow a funny path? Time to learn what a spline is. Want to make a circle? Hope you were paying attention in trig class, because it's time to break out the radians.

In all seriousness, I have nothing but the highest respect for the people that make charts for NotITG. Every single one of them is a culmination of music, art, programming, math, animation, visual design, game design, psychology, kinesiology and so, so much more. It's genuinely dizzying how multitalented these people are.

I'm interested in these man-made horrors beyond my comprehension! Where can I play this game?

You can download it from the game's website: noti.tg. It's free! Completely! There is no way to spend money on it. You'll just have to live with the fact that you can't give these talented creators your money.

I'd also recommend joining the game's discord (noti.tg/discord). They're incredibly helpful & friendly, just don't be a jerk :p. It should have some good information & resources for when you're starting out.

I feel like I've barely even scratched the surface of what makes this game special. I could probably make a whole other post rambling about the lore of UKSRT and the effect that's had on me, but this post is long enough as is.

If there's even one person who read this far, thank you for listening to the ramblings of a madman obsessed with a funny little arrow game! ❤️

Geometry Dash Event I need to get out:

https://youtu.be/MR3uUqXkv_0?si=d6UI5grYsgjWk6oX So in the Stepmania community there was a formerly yearly event held called the UK Sight Reading Tournament (UKSRT) where mapper would make charts with effects and minigames in order to make it harder too sightread. Everyone gets one go at the maps and the best scores advance.

With 2.2 coming and adding a lot of new effects and making them easier to put together, I want to do a GDSRT with no clip accuracy determining the scores with the highest accuracy advancing

This would obviously be a LOT of work, Especially if we want it to be of the same scale as the original UKSRT with original art and storylines, but it's definitely a cool idea and could work with enough dedication

ok can I ask a thing as someone who only lightly watches uksrt stuff bc I like watching the funny arrows. is it reasonable to look at the bit where peesh like turns into a fusion of three ppl and be like. whoa. that guy has gender.

peeesh is voiceacted by someone who uses he/they pronouns and i'm semi sure he shares that trait so like yeah, literally gender. who among us DOESN'T want to be a meme loving energy stealing fourth wall breaking shapeshifter

Maybe draw him with Hat Kid from A Hat in Time? I feel like they’d be cool friends

Well what do you say? They’re both purple-yellow coded, they both have top hats, they would be friends :]

tragically, SCOLD lacks a lower body. so unless she gives the world class PowerCycle 9000™ sloppy toppy, i would not.

also im still upset at her for what happened to cursor (i think that was her name) that shit fucked me up
