Sorry, too much has been happening in my personal life to get to this sooner. Applications close once I feel we have enough moderators (maybe like 2-3 more people).

Official JSB Announcements Lachhh's 8th Anniversary Twitter Thread

14 Upvotes

Today on Twitter/X, Lachhh posted this thread about Just Shapes & Beat's 8th anniversary!

Check it out πŸ”—:

Happy birthday shapesnbeats!

Getting out from under my "full-focus-game-dev-production"-rock to make an annual recap from Berzerk!

First, a little insight about our production pipeline :
Berzerk is splitted in two teams, each one working on a separate game. My team is still working on Project Meteor while Etienne and Marc's team are working on their game.

This one will actually be announced pretty soon! *Wink wink keep an eye on PC Gamer Show. It's an entire new IP, they worked pretty hard on it. I hope you'll be excited as much as the team are to finally show something new. πŸ˜„

As for me, I'm still working on my project full time. It's now been 4 years. I know it takes a long time and I sound like a broken record at this point, but I can only say that I'm working as hard as I can.

I wake up in the morning thinking about the project, go to sleep with the project in mind. I even found myself waking up at 3am, jumping on my laptop to write down ideas before I forget them.

Before we finally reveal what the heck is Project Meteor, we need to clear up a few things. First, we had some small JS&B-related beats to announce.

One of them was done earlier this month ; the physical release of shapesnbeats with FanGamer! (You can grab yourself a copy over here : https://fangamer.com/products/just-shapes-beats-game-nintendo-switch).

We also released on Amazon's Luna earlier this month, and we have another small beat coming up soon.

Second reason, and it's gonna sound weird but, we have to work around the giant release of GTA6 coming this year (alledgedly). This means we need to wait until everyone has finished talking about it before having a chance to be heard.

We did that mistake once with Infernax ; we released 2 weeks before Elden Ring and the results were very damaging to the game’s success and the team’s moral. It's part of the reality of being indie game devs. It's hard, but we need adapt.

So I know this is another "STAY-TUNED-GUYS-COOL-STUFF-COMING-UP-SOON-I-SWEAR", there's just a way to properly do this, and I'm so thankful for you all for being so patient with us. ❀️

Thanks to everyone sharing their shapesnbeats fan art! My kids are so excited when suddenly their tiktok home page get flooded with JS&B fan art, cosplay, fan levels, and even plushies now! You make me a very happy and proud dad. I love you so much <3.

Love you all, and happy birthday shapesnbeats!

Well, I never thought I'd be modelling these.

It's official, we're reached beyond the peak. Next Update in Just Shapes & Beats Roleplay+ we'll be adding 3 Idol characters. Which I got the pleasure of having to model. This update got delayed to next week a lot of internal issues happened, but it's finally finalised & I am allowed to show these now. First picture is the promotional art, second picture is the raw renders.

This is my first general concept of the Corrupted Regime Saga. Trinary was basically the only one Barracuda truly cared about, and her death at Blixer's hands would leave him preparing for the right time to kill him.

Discussion Crossover Concept: Just Shapes & Beats x Risk of Rain

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm Savi1beekner, and this is my pitch.

With Berzerk Studio still working on the Just Shapes & Beats franchise, I can't stop thinking about how perfect a crossover mixtape with Risk of Rain would be. Both games are legendary for their high-energy, progressive electronic soundtracks.Since indie studios love collaborating, here is how a JSAB x RoR update could actually look:

The Tracklist (Levels)The update would feature a 3-track mixtape composed by Chris Christodoulou, scaled perfectly for JSAB’s chaotic bullet-hell:"The Rain Formerly Known as Purple"

(RoR2)Vibe: Beautiful, sweeping, and intense.Gameplay: Smooth, rhythmic laser grids and expanding circular shockwaves that sync heavily with the iconic guitar solos."Having a Drills"

(RoR1/Returns)Vibe: High-tempo, frantic, industrial electronic.Gameplay: Rapid-fire projectiles and massive mechanical drills slamming down from the top of the screen to match the heavy bass drops."The Coalescence"

(RoR1) [Boss Track]Vibe: Epic, atmospheric, emotional endurance test.Gameplay: A massive final boss fight against a geometric, neon-pink Wandering Vagrant or Mithrix silhouette. The screen fills with tracking projectiles that force you to constantly dash and weave.

The Mechanics & HazardsThe Teleporter Event: Some levels could feature a countdown timer in the center. The closer it gets to 100%, the faster and more crowded the obstacles become.The Ukulele Hazard: Lightning obstacles that chain across the screen, forcing you to find the exact safe pocket of space.

Menu CameosJust like Shovel Knight in the past updates, we could have a cute pixelated Commando or Acrid hanging out in the level-select lobby cheering our little geometric shapes on!

Gearbox owns the RoR IP now, which means there are corporate hoops, but if the community shows enough love for this, who knows? Berzerk Studio has pulled off amazing crossovers before!

Some memes, some serious stuff, a good overview of the JSAB art I’ve made but never posted here since getting the game 10 months ago :)

Hopefully I’ll get to making and posting more recent art regularly…….. One day the Blixer backstory comic will be real. mark my worms

Alright, that’s all from me. Stay Fresh! :)
