Change the sound, change the fight. With real-time drum synthesis, your tuning directly impacts your combat style.

Moving from Figma mockup to implementation now! 🛠️✨

音を変えると、戦闘が変わる。リアルタイムのシンセ合成ドラムだからこそできるシステムにするぞ。
さて、ただのモックを動くようにしていきますか～

A UI mockup for a drum synth editing screen in a pixel art style. It features a triangular slider with "Tight," "Boom," and "Punch" parameters. On the right, two characters—a blue flame scientist and a cat wearing headphones—provide feedback on the sound's impact on game stats like Attack Power and Range. The aesthetic is dark with vibrant neon purple accents.

Got the synth kick up and running. 🥁 The plan is to put these knobs in the players' hands, not just mine!

なんとか、とりあえず、シンセドラムが鳴った。ただ最終的にはプレイヤーがこのつまみをいじいじできるようにしたいね。

Check this out! Not to toot my own horn, but I think this sequencer UI turned out pretty sleek and intuitive. Feels smart, looks cool—what do you think?

自分でいうのもなんだけど、随分と気の利いたシーケンサUIになったと思う！

I've just launched the official account for my indie game studio, Studio In-se! 🚀
bsky.app/profile/stud...

I’ll be using that account for official announcements and major updates. This account will remain the home for my daily development logs.

No BGM. Fight with your Groove.🎧🔥

Studio In-se is officially live!🌏
We're crafting #GrooveForge , a music-driven #Roguelite where your build composes the soundtrack.

Here's the "Break Burst": Trigger the silence, then let it DROP.💥

Your rhythm is your weapon.
Finally implemented the sequencer editor scene! Now you can create your own groove. Let's see what happens in the live session...!

とうとうシーケンサエディタができた！これで自分のグルーヴを作れるぞ。

Custom rhythm patterns are now working! 🎶 Progress on the Step Sequencer Editor. (Wait, am I making an action game or a DAW...? 😂)

リズムパターンをカスタムするぞ！シーケンサ編集画面を作り中。

Implemented Localization switcher for debug. Now it's much easier to check localization.
I will definitely deliver this title to all over the world!

デバッグ用の言語変更機能。ローカライズチェックがめちゃ簡単に。

Figma mockup for the UI.
It's getting complex... Let's see if I can make it happen in Godot!

16 Pad Sampler girl. Done!
"Wait, is this... me?? I-It’s actually cute, isn't it!? Hmph... I guess you did a good job for once, Onii-chan. ...Th-thanks."

Still No BGM. Even NPCs can change the sounds!

Implemented the Hub Scene and Conversation events.
Today, he is trying to engineer the 808 Cowbell sound. How would you respond to his creation?

Vibing at the Forge!🕺 Even in the base camp, everyone’s perfectly synced to the sequencer. Can you feel that four-on-the-floor kick? 🥁

いつもの Forge の様子。拠点シーンでもシーケンサに合わせて縦ノリジャンプさせるぞ。キックの4つ打ちが聞こえてきそうっしょ？

Myuto: A quiet and earnest researcher at Forge. He’s a sound spirit with a body of blue fire... and he takes an eternity to animate!

彼はミュート。寡黙なで真面目な Forge の研究員。彼は音の精霊で、青い炎の身体で… そしてアニメーションさせるのがめちゃしんどい。

New Game Over effects for #GrooveForge!⚡️My wife's reaction: "Whoa, that’s way too scary..." She's low-key freaked out.
I’ll be adding the results and retry menu soon. I guess this "SIGNAL LOST" vibe is working a bit too well?

ゲームオーバー。妻に軽く引かれてしまったw すぐにリザルトが表示される予定だが、やりすぎ？

Further work on the passive system.
+1 bullet, then multiplied x3 by Chorus enchantments.
Yeah — it's getting “broken” in a good way.

The Forge is coming together! I’ve been working on the hub and these quirky NPCs today. I can't wait to give them some dialogue and start chatting with them!

Uploaded demo of dynamic modulation and wrote a devlog on itch.io .
You can hear how the synths step up to carry the energy to the next phrase.
