I was totally gonna do this, but oh well. Someone beat me to the punch.

As the title suggests, Notedrop is an in-progress Flash version of DJMax Trilogy. It features the Ability to create Notecharts, as well as Online Rankings and leaderboards.

Just played it in school few hours ago. Dunno why, but I feel this game is potential to be a successful online rhythm game.

Never played Trilogy before though... I used my reflex gained from playing O2Mania years ago, and gained 192k in that Whiteblue HD 6K (fever x5 multiplier orz)

Wish more songs and notecharts released soon... Thanks for sharing, I found this is a fun game to play ><

EDIT : Just played it again, 480787 points now (2739 combo) on Whiteblue xD

I guess it's alright.

Note colors makes it hard to see
When the playfield area ends up on the right side of the screen it throws one off
It'd be much better if there was 3-5-7-9 keys instead of what they have now. They are missing spacebar :<

Then again it's still in alpha stage.

yet another keysoundless flash beatmania-like rhtythm game? I think I've seen too much of these already.

indeed, but this one is still being improved on. It may be possible that keysounds will be implemented in the future, seeing as that's kind of what makes these games awesome instead of good.

Tried this. It's quite fun. Can't wait for more notecharts. Reminds me of O2Jam.

Oh man I was beaten at both forums where I usually lurk. ahaha. We're really glad to see that people are enjoying it!

Keysounds are planned in the future, still working that out!

Playfield will be user adjustable as well later, otherwise we will probably standardize it to be on the left side.
Spacebar is for the fever activation! 5 and 7 keys may be implemented later, depending if enough people really want it.

7 keys : o2jam. Simple enough right?

And yes I'm trying to figure out how to make a notechart :o

Not related to this game, but you guys need to check out this:
It's a really well done DJ Max Technika clone flash game called DJManiax
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/556866

You can play the game with either tablet/mouse or keyboard. I suggest using keyboard though because later unlocked music/maps are just unplayable with a mouse...

Haha it requires the chart menu to be redesigned, and we want to first get more charts first/add keysounding and whatnot!

Notecharting isn't too hard, but rather tedious.

What ends up happening is you have to type in

G,97,3
H,100,101,4
N,104,1
N,104,4

where the first letter says if it is a regular or hold note, the second value for beat for which it appears (the third value for when the hold note ends), and the lane number the note is in!

@thepianist I've downloaded the notedrop charter version, there's only notedropC.exe in the .zip file
what am i missing

if im not missing anything, what's next?
Mukku
Thepianist, I find 6 key mode really hard to read. I think coloring the D and K notes with different color than the S, F, J and L notes might solve the problem, like in O2jam

Aha, when Notedrop was updated, the folders were left out. I hope it wouldn't be too much trouble to ask you to download it again?

To get a song file, send an e-mail to chromatiqa (at) gmail (dot) com. The subject line and body content depend on whether the song already exists or not:

Song is already in Notedrop, or you aren’t sure
• The subject line must be “Notedrop – Song File Request”.
• In the body, include the name of the artist and title of the song, clearly labeled.

If the song already exists, we will send you a link to the song files. If we could not find the specified song, we will tell you so.

Song does not yet exist in Notedrop
• The subject line must be “Notedrop – New Song Request”.
• In the body, include the name of the artist and title of the song, clearly labeled.
• Also include the BPM of the song (which must be constant), the time signature, and whether you want the gear to be on the left, middle with bars on right, middle with bars on left, or right side of the screen.
• Please attach an mp3 of the song.
• We will NOT process requests for profane or suggestive songs. Even censored versions.

Each person is allowed only ONE request per week!

We attempt to process requests within two business days, but there is no guarantee on the actual processing time for a request. Requests for preexisting songs take precedence over requests for new songs.

Haha, we've decided before that since the lanes are already colored differently (as opposed to DJMAX Trilogy), it should be fine. We will consider it though!

Thank you for your interest!

I like MYDJ more, but this seems to have potencial

Silly bug I found.

I played a song and I intentionally failed the song to try it again. When I click the play button the files are redownloading by itself. I don't suppose you guys can make it so that the files stay there until the browser is closed etc? And I was using firefox that time

The song files should not have to be redownloaded if the game is still running, are you allowing Flash to store information on your computer? (It doesn't redownload here for my friends and I in chrome or firefox)
UtsukimiJerry
Yes. I do allow flash to store information on the computer. I don't know why the game redownloads the song again.

extra - set the speed to 3.5 and get a fever. The notes will be laggy throughout a song until you miss. Tested twice.
Shino
I tried to map a chart, but got confused when I opened the example file.
I think it lacks information about beat number. I can't even understand what the 37.5 in [N,37.5,4] means.

37.5 is the the 37th and a half beat in the song, counting from the offset, which is beat 0.

I don't know then; the only thing I can really say is to check if flash is at the latest version ahaha. (Lag varies from computer to computer, if you are experiencing lag, try playing image only, then low quality)

My Flash is at the latest version. I just don't see why the game will start lagging when I use 3.5 speed and get a fever after that. (I did try image only. It's the same)

How rude. At least this is an alternative for those who doesn't have the actual game (Like myself) If you don't want to support this then don't post in this topic

I have the real game too. I think it's a good idea to have these sorts of things. If you're gonna troll, go back to Off-Topic. We've no need for you here.

Yes, that's how stupid you sound
Backfire
It was a joke.

Do you seriously think I sound like a wigger? Sheez.

But SERIOUSLY, Why do we need MORE flash clones of bemani style games? Theres about 400 and none of them are any better than each other. I think flash flash revolution was the only decent one.

Flash games are hardly ever worth the time.

Yes, it looks mildly more impressive, but it won't be as good as trilogy or the real thing.

Also, why is it JUST a DJMax Trilogy clone? If they're gonna go through the trouble, it couldve been just a DJ max clone itself, since DJ Max is alot more demanded and you cant get it anymore. Personally, I would be more happy with something like that.

Very good flash game, but I (and other ppl too) want an actual cloned DJMAX.

Just like this :3

Because this started as an assignment for a class, and we thought it would be fun to expand it. Yes, it'll never reach the quality of the real game (we both own a copy), but it's enjoyable to try. If you don't like it, you do not have to play it; after all, you do have the real game.

It is a clone of DJMAX Trilogy because of the keysettings [dfjk] / [sdf/jkl] / [sdfjkl] / [asdf/jkl;] / [asdfjkl;].

(@DJPop: We're trying!)

Looks pretty nice, actually. I feel obliged to map something english so I will, although it will probably be completely unauthentic to the original games. Support for multi BPMs would be nice in future, but I'm not sure how it'd be handled :/

Thanks! (Yeah, I was trying to chart something English, but I don't like how my charts turn out after a while; we look forward to adding it!)

We're trying to figure out multiBPM as well; it will hopefully be possible and added later.

*Tsukasa ~ The Clear Blue Sky 6K-SC added (Technikawesome)
*Tsukasa ~ In My Heart BGV added

5/12 Changelog
• Added tweet button to chart complete screen. Now you can play Notedrop and tweet about it, too!
• Made colors of notes mapped to A, D, K , and ; cyan instead of green for easier reading of patterns
• Made several graphical changes
• Removed MISSes as a result of hitting keys without hitting and note, and made them occur instead when notes were hit way, waaaay too early
• Health drain from MISSes and MAX 10%s lowered
• Getting a MAX 10% on a gold note no longer lowers volume (but does not increase it, either).
• Charts pre-checked and sorted before play, so notes no longer have to be in order. Also, charts are checked for invalid note-values and incomplete lines, which are simply removed.
• Chartlist now fades in instead of suddenly appearing
• Added song and video caching to prevent re-loading and memory leaks
• Fixed bug where default quality and BGV quality would not load
• Fixed bug where highest video quality indicator would spaz out before loading was complete

Game looks good, but the notes are kinda too bright for me. Was fun, but i'm too used to o2jam keys.

I tried this game, and I'm loving how it looks. It is just developing I assume, so I'll stop by later and see if there is a forum or place to provide suggestions. You have my support with it, it has so much potential. :)

No problem, it seems I was registered while they were configuring the forum, a lot of errors came up while loading pages. I couldn't reply in certain forums, but I'll wait until the forum is done being configured lol.

Ahaha, what do you need help on?
Rena-chan
It's... Not bad for a start, I guess.

Playing without hit explosions (is that what you call them ?) is REALLY awkward, though.

Also, needs more 6K patterns~

Happy30's Secret Base chart freezes for me when I reach 518 combo. The music stops and the dropping notes stop. Keys still work and the green moving "4x combo" text still moves.

What is this D:
Hanyuu
Very cool :D but when i play it it does not look like your video. in the video the combo and Max score moves more realistic.

okay could i reques to make a song? i never tried it before so i am not sure :?

Best flash based rhythm game I've ever seen.

The only problem with these type of games is...

I keep messing up the buttons and forget which belongs to which... To little O2Jam and too much osu! has destroyed that feeling.

Checked it online, it doesn't do so for me or many others. Clear cache and reload the map again?

Moves more...realistic? I know the videos are from older builds, maybe that is it?
You could request to make a song! Just e-mail us and we'll try to get to it ASAP.
