City of Beats News

Hi everyone! We’re thrilled to announce that City of Beats is now being published by Freedom Games. For those of you who may not know, a game publisher not only provides additional investment and funding for developing the game, but also takes care of a lot of the business and marketing side of releasing a game. That includes managing our store pages, marketing and advertising the game, helping showcase the game at both digital and live events, PR, and a lot more. It really lets us totally focus on working to make the game the best it can be, and provides us with the resources to do so.

Thank you for all of the support you've given us. If you have any questions about the announcement or just want to join the community, feel free to join our Discord and we’d love to hear from you!
Also make sure to follow us on Twitter where we’ll be showing off some of our work in progress for the game.

Hey everyone, were part of the gamescom Steam event!

Check out the demo for City of Beats, which contains the first chapter of our music-driven roguelite shooter.

In case you missed our previous gameplay stream and want to watch Sima blast herself through the City of Beats, we'll be re-broadcasting it later!

Also, don't forget to wishlist the game and join our cool Discord community!

Cheers!

Hey everyone, it's midweek madness feat. the ongoing Tiny Teams event. And as already some of y'all have mentioned they would love to see another stream, and as I really want to draw it's finally time for an ART STREAM.



City of Beats still lacks an average rogue-lite hub area, luckily we're already on that if you have seen our summer Roadmap!
But it would not be a hub without a classy supply of weapons... Join in on the stream and get to know our new NPC - the weapon supplier, help me decide on a name and maybe even get a say in what the 'lil guy will look like.

See y'all at 9pm CEST
Sima

Hey everyone! As some of you might know; we're a tiny team!
And as that may often lead to a lot of stress, it can also lead to great opportunities such as:

TINY TEAMS! *Drum roll*



We're happy to tell you that we will be part of the Tiny Teams event by Yogcast Games 🎉

From today up until the 14th of August you can celebrate not only City of Beats but also a lot of other tiny indie games!
Check out the tiny teams website: https://www.yogscast.games/tiny-teams

But there is more: we've updated the demo a bit so you can have another fresh go through the City of Beats.

[h3]This update includes:[/h3]

New Supercharge Display
- added a new indicator to the bottom center of the screen, making it easier to see the current charge status of your weapon

Tweaks
- tweaked player HP & enemy damage
- shortened the time of the Zeitgeber's shield barrier being disabled during their final phase
- "Aimbot" mod: lowered projectile attraction a bit, so you won't shoot enemies behind you
- "Bare Minimum" upgrade: this is now directly triggered when selected as a reward, if the player HP is below the threshold at that time
- sniper enemy projectiles are now like 50% faster and bigger, making them easier to dodge by listening to the music
- increased damage multiplier of projectiles reflected by your dash barrier

Bugfixes
- (hopefully?) fixed a rare bug where bosses could have an invisible barrier, or a barrier that doesn't get disabled

Furthermore, we will host another livestream on Sunday where Sima will talk about upcoming features, where we are currently standing with City of Beats and other news; and of course, Sima will once more try to fail and prevail against the Zeitgeber!

Cheers,
Your tiny Torched Hill team

For this livestream, YOU DECIDE what's going to happen: Should we attempt a no-hit run or maybe a speedrun? Do you want an art stream or have a jam session with our musician?

Let us know on our Discord and see what happens!
