Leveling System

heya, i thought i'd drop by just to make some small changes regarding "The Funkers"

to be honest these rules here were pretty poorly written so i've decided to reword them to make it less complicated to understand

the poor wording here was likely do to the fact that they're the oldest characters considered to actually make the the final cut (If you don't count Metal Sonic as a solo character)

Someone made a fantrack for the tournament!

OH MY GOD ASSETS HAVEN'T BEEN RELEASED YET

It's good work though!

Such good work I'll tease something early

So after the tournament we've been thinking of releasing 3 small "Post Game DLCs" (Very small and simple ideas, They're mostly a way of using scrapped content)

Since this tournament is just a solo project, part of me was considering "The Track Builder DLC" in which I'd open a forum for community submission after everything!

The issue was I didn't know if this would be something people would be interested in.

Maybe it's worth doing

We'll see when we get there!

I also planned to host a survey to see which DLCs people we're most interested in!

The new track is up!

Here's comes another update posts! See what's new!

This post mostly exists to address something missing from our character pages, Character descriptions! That's because we've been saving those for trading cards! These will have said character description along with low effort yet dynamic artwork using a simplified version of a scrapped aesthetic for our character renders.

They have 4 ranks

Staff - Used for Team Members

Main - Used for out Contestants

Half - Used for Separated Contestants

and the most interesting

Guests - Used for misc characters who appear in overlap one way or another (Reveal Trailers, Interview's, etc)

Cards will be posted after a character's first track

The idea is that they'd be like game collectibles

Me an Sans will have ours posted soon along with a page for documenting them so far!

I see lots of new eyes!

Concerned eyes, and i fully understand!

To try and put everyone's heart at ease I'd like to say that "Overstimulating Overlap!" was conceptualized as far back as December of 2023, And in September of 2024 things really started being tested in private. This was never just something started on a whim.

Now things have been heavily reworked and we're on the go!

If we fall it's a shame, But things are under control! And if they weren't, it wouldn't be on you. Now lets get back to our schedule!

Hey, it's me again. Sorry about adding another ask onto the large pile you've obtained already, but I had another question after seeing said asks. You've referred to a "we" multiple times throughout those asks, so I'm curious: Is there an actual, multi-person team working on this aside from yourself, or are you just referring to yourself as the in-canon team (the "we" in this instance)? I'm just asking because as another asker pointed out, created 80 arrangements for each character as has been implied is quite a lot for one person to handle, unless you're able to very quickly created arrangements (which is possible, I have seen people who have been able to do that) or have spread out their creation over the long period you've been planning this out.

Yeah I'll break character for a sec

it is just one person lol

Just me

Ig im just built different

Also not the full 80 is finished just some but i think they'll be finished in time lol

[overstimulatingoverlap]

I actually will add on by saying i have always been faster with music than anything else

Which is what i discovered by testing runing

even outside of overlap there has been projects of mine that were slowed down or cancelled just because i couldn't do art assets in time, leaving me to have a lot of unrealesed music or me releasing music way after ive made it

If you go to my main tumblr account linked in the masterpost of this account, you'll notice an "Overtime 2" mentioned without any posts about it. This is a project that only has a bunch of music in a folder on my desktop and no art for it.

Kirb's Humble Home

Toad's Tale

And Sonic Estrella

These are all good examples of that happening

That's why ive made sure everything else was right for overlap before really starting publicly

That's also why i really haven't been too concerned about music lol

That's probably the most I'll ever be off topic for this acount so i wanted to get it all out of the way now

Signed

little tournament child please do not tell me you are making 10 solos per character that is 80 tracks you will die

I get the worry you have but things move quick here! Behind the scenes tracks are already made! The patience and planning have been set in place.

[overstimulatingoverlap]

i don't wanna bombard you with questions about your own balancing or w/e but i agree with wabble on being confused by 'radio music'. does that just mean all popular music, functionally? because, if so, that's a very difficult source to wrap your head around. it's so broad, it's basically impossible to judge what parts of it would actually be used for the character, and thus whether i'd want to vote for them or not. 😓

Luckily the way voting works here is pretty strange

All characters will have 10 tracks before any voting happens

But we plan to go in more depth about that later

However funkers arn't the only ones with the other problem you may have concerns for. A lot of the characters have very broad source lists here. (Ive gotten a bit of questions about "Si-fi" being broad too)

That's particularly international.

We're hoping that they'll all balance eachother out. especially with the way they're planned to be used here. The idea of there only being 8 contestants is also supposed to help balance it.

This is a relatively small scale tournament

We weren't even sure if we'd get the right eyes to get everything in order.

But things are looking to be in order for now!

[overstimulatingoverlap]

I do NOT recommend using Tumblr for voting, since the votes are anonymous and thus unverifiable. Use something like Google Forms so you can ask for a form of identity verification

This is actually a good point!

All of the information and voting announcements will be posted here and I'll set up form links for the posts themselves!

We've also been planning to set up an art folder via drive too!

Oh my! Is this flattering? Im not quite sure!

[overstimulatingoverlap]

Out of slight confusion on the specifics, what exactly does the "Radio Music" source on The Funkers get them? My assumption was just "typical modern radio pop music" but I wasn't entirely sure on that because that feels kind of disconnected from the characters themselves. Could you give insight onto that?

Hi! Thanks for the question! You are pretty close to what this source is meant to be . For the most part it is just meant to mean vaguely mainstream music or what many would call "Real Music." I felt as the game is centered around characters that are "Pop Stars," "Rock Stars," or are generally are musicians, it worked for them. However it doesn't have to be truly modern. If it was popular at some point in time they can have it. With such as the examples written being Smooth Criminal and Get Lucky on their page, I do I hope you can get a good picture.

To simplify i guess you could say it's anything you'd likely find in a Guitar Hero or Just Dance game

Hope this helps!
