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 talking about about the reasoning behind our games and what we want to create, including our award-winning title, Hexagroove: Tactical DJ.

Over twenty original music sandboxes have been assembled for our title, and each is a step along the road paved with the evolution of funk. We'll show off how musical variations are composited in several special "dojo" training levels, and how the music behind each puzzle solution is altered about the strategic choices you make with paths, power moves, and solos.



Finally, we'll give you a preview of some of the unlocks that exist in the retail version of the game. Instrument variations and realtime pedal effects allow you to push your funk even further in more creative directions.

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
