We'll start by walking you through the game concept of Backbeat, and the evolution of our visual language starting with our first title, Hexagroove: Tactical DJ.. We'll then visit the rendering style, concept art, and locations of 1990s suburban Washington, D.C. Finally, we'll cover the characters and films that inspired our ensemble cast. To illustrate we'll use a number of levels and menu UI from the upcoming retail version of the game.

We'll start by walking you through the design concept of the games we create at Ichigoichie. We'll then touch music creation and how the rules of music are built into our game design. We'll then address the unique resource and constraints the player must manage deeper into the retail version of the game. To illustrate we'll use a number of special test levels showing off:

* premade character paths
* "doors and keys" mechanics
* stagger and align resources
* solo and assist resources
* cooldown-managed power moves
