Most Recent Demo: Christmas SAGE 2023 Demo V1.033 (Jan 19, 2024)
Please note that there will not be anymore demos or demo updates. At this point, I'm only working finishing the full game. The contents of this demo do not represent the final game, as this demo is of an older build of the game and was released mainly for testing and feedback purposes. Many things are more or less finished than others, in no particular order.

You can get the soundtrack here!: https://lj-lephemstar.bandcamp.com/album/scratchin-melodii-ost

Official Website: https://www.scratchin-melodii.com

This demo features:

6 playable songs
If you played the last version of the demo, you'll notice that the Vocaloid tuning and/or vocal mixing has been redone for the returning songs!

  • Cream Cheese Icing
  • Nami.WAV
  • Stir & Mix
  • Grease Poppin'
  • Supastar Tennis
  • Sidechain Fever

The first Act of the game's Story Mode
Story Mode has been almost completely redone since the last demo! Now taking place in a new more cinematic 3d environment.

How To Play

All of the gameplay happens on the Rhythm Tracks.

When the line is blue, you'll see your opponent's icon start moving as they lay down a beat. After they're done, it's your turn to respond to that beat using the available buttons shown on the Rhythm Track. The start of your turn will be indicated by a controller rumble and Melodii's icon beginning to move,

When the line is pink, Melodii will have their own unique set of available buttons to press. The start of your turn will be indicated by a controller rumble and Melodii's icon beginning to move.

At the start of each turn, only Rhythm Tracks being used for that line will light up.
For example, this is a Double Line, so both the top and bottom tracks are lit up. Double Lines use both Rhythm Tracks and are played from top to bottom.

Scoring Meters

RhythmDial.png
Rhythm - This will increase every time you gain points from being on-beat with the song. To stay on-beat, line up your button presses with the beat dots and stars on the Rhythm Tracks.


StyleDial.png
Expression - This will increase every time you gain points from remixing the suggested line using the available buttons.


ObedienceDial.png
Obedience - This will increase every time you gain points from following the exact button order and timing of the suggested line.


Expression is much more valuable to your score than obedience, so really try to mix things up when you can! Have fun!

TROUBLESHOOTING

"How do I freestyle/How does the Expression meter work?"

Here's a full guide! https://lj-lephemstar.itch.io/scratchin-melodii/devlog/653636/scratchin-melodii-...

"Why isn't my controller working/mapped right?"

This usually either happens because another program is interfering with the game's native controller support or because you're using an unsupported controller.

Other possible solutions: 

(If playing natively)

  • Make sure Steam, DS4Windows, or any other program that affects controller input isn't running in the background
  • Make sure your controller is player 1
  • If you're using an NS Pro Controller natively, try using it wirelessly

If none of that works, you may be using an unsupported controller. In that case, try adding the game to your Steam Library as a non-Steam game.

(If added to Steam as a non-Steam game)

  • Make sure DS4Windows or any other program that affects controller input isn't running in the background
  • Make sure your controller is player 1
  • Make sure you have the config for your controller enabled in your Steam settings.

"Why aren't my controller vibrations working?"
This game has vibration signals, which serve as warnings to help with being prepared for things such as upcoming lines. If yours isn't working, possible fixes are:


"I'm experiencing some or a lot of lag."
I'm not sure how low I'll be able to get the minimum system requirements for the full game, but at the moment if you don't have a decent enough PC, it's unfortunately going to have a hard time running the game, especially if your system can't run the game at its intended framerate (60fps). I'll do my best optimization-wise, but please keep in mind that there will always be a certain point where weaker systems will just not be able to run the game properly. Lag also increases the chances of certain bugs/glitches happening.

i played all of the songs and i noticed some glitches or something when playing any song. In the tutorial the cutscene plays but then the notes dont appear. Cream Cheese Icing just freezes up, the characters dont even appear and basically making this song unplayable. Nami.WAV also freezes but makes it impossible to leave the song unless you use Alt+F4. Stir & Mix also freezes while the backround song continues without the lyrics. At the beginning of Grease Poppin' the cutscene plays normally, but after the cutscene no notes appear and you cant do anything except leave the song or just lose even though your pressing the buttons like you normaly do. Supastar Tennis just freezes the camera and only the L/LB (on controller) or Q (PC) button shows up while the rest of the buttons/notes dont appear at all (also when you even time the L/Q Button on beat, you still lose). And finally, Sidechain Fever. When i start up that song it immediately freezes the song and also Renza is just standing in her cool pose.. Hopefully all these bugs (and maybe other bugs that are also related (or not)) will be fully fixed by the official release.  (BTW love your game and hope you continue working on it :] )

idk why i cant download the 3rd 1.3 GB one

avalible on mac when? :'( love this game 

No, only Windows

Is it possible for you to add the Scratchin Melodii demo on stream? I usually play full games or game demos on there instead of itch.io

you can add the demo to your steam libray as a non-steam game.

Cooool game dude ;D

Thank you so much for such a great game! Honestly, it's become one of my favorite rhythm games. I had to practice a lot to get even a "B," but I'm having a blast! A couple of songs have made it onto my playlist; thank you so much for such a wonderful game! I always come back to it!
I just adore the little details, like the way the music in the menu changes when you change the song, I love the little storyline, and the game's visuals are very bright and summery, overall it's very atmospheric (and fun!)

(+1)(-2)

its literally too hard and i broke my controller

dont play if you are very bad at rhythm and a rage guy

lj is going too hard with the references
the 'a' from neva 2 sweet (the graffiti) is from bust a groove

i found something in the game :0

if you pause the game on lo-fi in grease poppin' you can here some insults and stuff

but if you turn your volume up you can here references to sonic lost world and dragon funk
some dialogue i heard
'Hey, this isn't what I ordered!'

'You call those fries? That looks almost as bad as Lost World!'

'Come ON, I need those banana burgers for my barbecue!'

'I'm gonna spend my money elsewhere...'

'That short guy stinks!'

'What are those guys even doing back there?'

'Come on man, where's my burgers?'

ok theres more stuff but this is already long enough

the detail is crazy considering if people did this in 2023 would remember this in dragon funk

really good game :D
just wondering to other people if when they play it becomes a bit laggy

Nah the specs don't apply for me. I played it on a macbook just fine

The second best game I've ever played, for sure. I know it's still in beta, but my love for it is great. However, there are still some bugs that can make gameplay a little difficult, such as in Nami.wav, where the buttons I pressed in the first line remain visible even after the line has passed. (I'm reporting this so it can be fixed.)

Is not Author for game ?

Hi LJ,I’ve developed a SaaS platform designed to help users quickly build and manage their own personal community. The service is currently available free of charge. Would you be open to exploring it?


This game is not for you if you don't know what your doing or your new easy doesn't seem easy

love this game and everything going for it,  but the note detection is soooo bad. genuenly score more points by doing whatever than doing what the character is telling me to, and when i do what they told me to sing i lose points and die, it makes no sense

tried remapping the inputs cuz im playing on keyboard but now the s button doesn't work :(( forever stuck at the start

I found a solution nvm. https://lj-lephemstar.itch.io/scratchin-melodii/comments?after=192

Hi LJ! I just wanted to ask a question. (Plus if my grammar is horrible it's because i am Italian and English is not my language, and also today it's my birthday so... YIPEE-)

I was playing the 2021 Demo and i was scrolling through the "Quick Groove" Menu and when i was selecting one of the songs that were W.I.P  the tune of it sounded unfamiliar, like something that wasn't realesed. I opened the game files and that tune was named: "small_rockarolla.wav". I was wondering if this song or character was scrapped and if it will be included in the full game. Thank you for reading! I am looking forward to the release of the full game! 

ciao

Melodii lore

.

Im playing the sage demo on my laptop and in the opening screen where it says 'press start', theres no start button, ive also tried pressing other buttons. I cant pay the game:(

press the enter key, start button is on other controllers

(+1)

I love the game and all, but why do so many songs have areas with 500 random directional inputs within 0.1 seconds of each other? Like I get having some difficulty, but geez...
