DJ Tim's Shabu Shabu Place

The game DJ TIM’s Shabu Shabu place is a 2D rhythm game where the core concepts for the game are the Gameplay Mechanics & the Visual Design. The following paragraphs will explain these 2 concepts. 

 For the Gameplay Mechanics, we sectioned it into 2 sub categories, the Note Timing & the Combo System. For the first one, the players would need to hit the notes (represented as dishes on the screen) on time & within the red circle in order to score points. The game has 2 combo scoring systems, the first one is the normal combo system where players can chain successful hits together to build combos thus, increasing their overall score. If the player doesn’t hit the nodes on time, they do not gain any points & they will lose any combo. 

 The second one is represented by 2 things within the environment, the hotpot bowl & a vertical bar next to the painting, where these will tell the player how successful they have done for that specific song. For the 2nd concept of Visual Design, we took the approach where it's sectioned into Art style & Visual Feedback. For the Art Style, the team went for a minimalistic approach by using line art with flat colours as this gives the player a sense of clarity & readability due to the elements being easily distinguishable. For the Visual Feedback, we had the character have different poses based on the number of combos that the player has done, thus giving the game a sense of immersion & an interesting & fun experience
