Feel Gear
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Feel Gear is like if you mixed Grand Theft Auto with Binding of Isaac, and then mixed that with Dance Dance Revolution. The original aim was to wrap music making software inside of a game, and what it became is far more than that. Feel Gear boasts fully procedural open worlds, with fully procedural cities where you can explore any of the procedurally generated buildings while changing the procedurally generated music as you progress. Strong emphasis has been placed on integrating every aspect of music making into the game world to allow for an immersive experience, and if you don't necessarily want to make music, that's cool, because that's only part of the allure of Feel Gear. The games twin stick controls feel great when you're leveling up against enemy hordes. You'll quickly understand why the games tagline is 'Make music, save the world!'.
Meet the characters
This is Bass Boy, he can generate procedural basslines for your songs. He also has increased attack power against enemies.
With Gogo you can generate procedural drum loops, she also has enhanced movement speed.

I wanna work with you for make an OS X game in obj-c++.
Dude, that would actually be pretty rad, is there a particular library that you are looking to use? Just curious why obj-c++ rather than just c++?
Hello!
I finally made a video on your game. I really enjoyed it, but I did come across a few issues that I didn't know how to fix. I'll keep up to date on your game to see the progress of it though!
Have a nice day!
Kimmy ^ . ^
Hey thank you so much for posting this! Is it okay if I link to your video on the game's website?
And I know it still has some bugs in it, I'm working to get them fixed and I apologize about that.
Hello,
I apologize for getting back to you so late, but you're more than welcome of putting my video on the game's website. I will do my best to keep with your game and see the progress it will go on.
^ . ^
yea thanks for follow sid!!
Hey man, thanks for the follow. Hope you tried my game, can you share your thoughts please :)
I downloaded your game but at the end of the setup it gave me an error:
Let me know if I can help.
Interesting, this is the first time I've seen that one. If you go into the install folder in Program Files is the file there?
you stupid
Thanks for the follow, Sid!
Hey absolutely, glad to connect!
Hey Sid, I noticed you deleted my previous post! A bit curious as to why. Did I do something wrong?
I can't think of any reason why I would have deleted your post, are you sure I deleted it?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I guess I'm not sure. It got deleted but not by me. Sorry for the misunderstanding!
Hey no worries
Thanks for following me! Ill try your game
Hey thanks! Make sure to Run As Administrator on Windows or you'll get stuck on the main menu.
Hi, i try your game soon!! thx for the follow.
Hey not a problem, just make sure to Run As Administrator, a lot of people have been having problems with that lately. :/
Thanks for the follow! I followed you too. Also,I really want to play this, but sadly my platform is windows and no apple and I can't run exe, lol😢😢😢
How come you can't run exe?
Don't know. I use adobe dreamweaver to run exe files.
exe is the standard executable program file type for Windows, it should run without any other software.

Thanks a bunch for the follow
Absolutely! happy to connect!
I saw music so I clicked really fast... I play 3 instruments so yeah...
haha that's awesome what three instruments? Yeah I make quite a bit of music myself so that's why I felt like I had to make this game!
Well, the game didn't work so yeah... I play bass , guitar and drums.
What didn't work if you don't mind me asking? I've tested it on quite a few platforms and a number of friends have as well, did you make sure to Run As Administrator on Windows?
Have you played Desert Fury?
I haven't tried it yet, all of my PC's are really slow so I usually play games on my Macbook, it looks really interesting though!
Added mac port
I downloaded it and tried it, I left a comment on the game page!
Thanks for the constructive feedback! I'll be trying out this game shortly.
Hey,

Hey definitely!
Hello,
Thank you for the follow, I have followed you back.
I read your description of your game and I'm really interested in it. As a YouTuber, I'd like to make a video of your game if I have your permission to do so :)
Have a good day!
That would be awesome if you did a video! I just posted a big update, so that would be really cool. Can you just post a link if you do make a video? Thank you so much!
Thank you for getting back to me!
I'll definitely make a video on your game and I'll post a link once the video is live. Thank you for giving me permission to do so. I'll hopefully get the video up in the next couple of days.
Absolutely! Really excited to see it!
You could add a gameplay trailer of your game so that many people will find it attractive and will play your game.
The concept of the game looks cool though.
You're right, I do need to put together a trailer. I might do that as soon as I get the next update finished!
Great :)

dev haha game go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
just downloaded this. crazy crazy cool design. ive never played anything like this before. hope you keep working on it.
Wanted to try it out since your description was promising a lot and I also enjoy music focused games but I was unable to play. When the game finishes downloading, the executable is not automatically found by the installer so you have to manually launch the game from the install folder. Once I had gotten it working, the menu was rather confusing since I didn't know I could shoot the blocks. Also, the new game doesn't seem to work, it just goes to a loading screen and then returns to the main menu.
Hope you keep developing the game so I can see what you were going for.
Hey man, so I just realized what the issue is. If you installed into Program Files and you don't have Windows set to automatically 'Run As Administrator' you will need to right click and set it to run that way when opening the game. Let me know if you still have problems with it after that, I'll try to see if I can fix the installer later today.
So I just tried to play it again doing what you recommended and got the game to work.
First off, the camera is way too close to the player model when you are in the city area and I cant control the camera with my mouse.
Since this is a twin stick shooter, maybe make the right or left stick control the camera rotation. (assuming there's no enemies in the city to fight)
Also, the enter key is an awkward key to use when you need to perform actions in the game. I would probably use F or E so its easier for the user to pick things up or open doors without having to move their hands.
Once I got inside a building I killed one of the baddies with a health bar over their head and they dropped some spinning colorful thing. Once I tried to pick it up, the game crashed.
Overall, I'd say the game needs a lot of work but I can see see what you are going for and I think it has potential.
So the game is definitely intended to be played with a controller, the shoulder buttons would control the camera rotation. I made some changes yesterday to the music system which I was worried would cause it to crash when picking up items, unfortunately its really hard to test in Unreal because the editor will play the game fine, and then it crashes in packaging without giving any kind of indications to why.
It is an early release but I definitely think these kind of bugs are unacceptable, I am hoping to have them all fixed in the next week since that's the submission deadline for IGF.
I'll fix the camera as well, I agree it is a little close and I cant really remember why I didn't bother fixing it.
Sorry for all the problems, hate to find out about them this way but it's a good learning experience.
Not a problem at all, I am perfectly satisfied knowing that I helped improve your game.
