Thanks for 600,000+ downloads on the Scratchin' Melodii demo! I feel like I'm on the right track now, so reminder that there will be no more public demos of the game. From here, I'll just be focusing on finishing the full game and I'll try to occasionally show some progress too!

It being possible to get a negative score was a coding oversight on my part but it's funny so I'm probably keeping it

Apparently Melodii's gender/lack-thereof has been a bit of a topic again. So just to publicly squash any and all misconceptions, Melodii is non-binary. It's not meant to be an "up to interpretation" sort of thing, Melodii's a character with their own identity.💛🤍💜🖤

It's depressing that some ppl have the nerve to make conspiracy theories about me "lying" about Melodii because they, a fictional child, have a high pitched voice and pink headphones. If you knew me as much as you thought you did, you'd know pink is just one of my favorite colors

The rhythm system in Scratchin' Melodii has changed quite a bit since the 2022 demo. I definitely would like to improve the in-game tutorial in the full game, but for now I thought I'd take some time to explain some of it in a thread!

Melodii always was and always will be genderless and nonbinary, but in terms of their pronouns, until now I've gone on record saying they use "any pronouns". After some thought, I've finally decided Melodii's pronouns are ONLY "they/them" now for multiple reasons. [Thread]

While any pronouns are fine for them, blatantly calling them a boy or girl would be incorrect. Tbh I'm not entirely sure what people see that makes them think "girl" so often exactly lol, I really just didn't have a gender in mind for Melodii and prefer it that way

I mean this in the nicest way possible but if you only bring up Scratchin' Melodii when you're looking for something to replace FNF for you, I don't think you'll find what you're looking for here. I'd much rather prefer ppl enjoy my game out of love for it than spite for another.

I usually avoid qrting these but I'd like to clear some things up. The point of my Scratchin' Melodii demos are to gather testing/feedback so I can improve the final game. It's not supposed to be "The next FNF" or a rhythm game Fortnite battle pass. It's a demo right now.

I appreciate all love towards my game, and I can't control people, but do just keep in mind that when you unironically use a game with a smaller following to dunk on a game with a large fanbase, it usually leads to that larger fanbase bashing the small game to defend their own

Also for the record, Melodii was never intended to look "feminine". Their design was partly inspired by Alex Kidd. Alex Kidd is a boy, but when I was little I couldn't tell what Alex Kidd's gender was and I thought that was really cool :)

1.) All of the in-game dialogue referring to them only uses they/them and I feel it's unreasonable to expect players to know something that isn't implied in-game 2.) I'm not comfortable with how some ppl only call them she/her just to avoid acknowledging that they're nonbinary 🦍

For those who may be concerned about Scratchin' Melodii and aren't caught up on the Unity runtime fee situation, Unity ended up deciding that games made in Unity versions earlier than the 2024 LTS ver will remain unaffected. Development is continuing as planned. (Image unrelated)
