Is there a way to save a song without needing to do so for a job? I started playing around with the synthesizer after the Uncle ringtone job and can't find a way to save what I make without starting one of the two hotel jobs :<
Yeah this is something we've been working on for the full release - you'll soon be able to save projects so you can pick up work where you left of, regardless of job.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! I can't wait to try the full version. Kind of a long shot, but how realisitic would it be to do stuff with real instruments? Sort of a pitch detection system to (for example) use a guitar to record riffs?
I am absolutely OBSESSED with this game. I cannot WAIT for the final game to come out and will be buying it as soon as I possibly can. 10000/10, no notes!!
Hi! This is definitely one of the coolest games I've tried in a while, it made me so excited and I lost track of time while playing it. As a hobby-ist producer myself, I can say it is very well made, I can really see this game teaching music production and basic DAW functionalities, in a playful and exciting way. One thing I would love to see added in the future is MIDI support, via some kind of recording device in the game. Well done, you guys are one of the many reasons the indie game dev industry continues to inspire and never disappoint!
ahh what a lovely comment - thanks for taking time to share. MIDI support very much on our list, hopefully we can find a solution for that once we've brought the game to early access (date incoming soon!)
super fun game. some things i noticed is there is no way to cancel a mission if i want to do a different one. also when i continue my save the upgrades on the toys are not saved
Fun game, I liked it. But it'd be nice for the game to save the composition of the music alongside the audio. Also I noticed that the audio folder saves even incomplete songs when you click "Stop" while publishing.
Cool game! Would be nice to be able to use other scales (or no scales) at some point. The audio started to crackle a bit once I had most of the instruments. Everything is so stylish. I wish real world jobs were affirming my skills to this degree :D
This game is so cute and fun. I love the graphics and the weird instruments. The more strange instruments the better! I play a few instruments but I find making music at home a bit boring if I have no purpose. This game gives you the purpose and you lose track of time.
Logged into itch for the first time in over a year just to make this comment. I've wishlisted.
I love making bops and boops in this weird charming game. A sandbox/creative mode where I just have all the instruments from the get go could be nice >_>
Im a huge fan of Pantaloon since late 2024 and have been playing lots of the weird and awesome games they hand out via newsletters, but HOLY OFFBEAT is something i didnt know i needed. Who cares about life when you can make songs with just meows???

This game made making music fun for me! I'm cranking out all types of funky beats and like making music again!!
underated fr
this is so fun
This is a great concept that's been executed wonderfully so far! Can't wait to see the rest of the game!

Hi! Your game is great. I enjoyed your game. Can you try my game The Last Unsent - Chapter 1 too?

Is on the list, and hopefully something we can look at for 1.0
Appreciate your interest here!

will you perhaps make it linux compatible
I think if the game finds a good audience then Linux is on the table - but is not in immediate roadmap.
can't wait for linux version so i can play too

Ah some good notes here - will make sure this is passed on and addressed as we push towards our early access release.
woah I love this and I haven't even played it
Wow. So cool!
But I think I must play this in real life(

Ah thanks for going to effort of letting us know - glad it's resonated, and keen to hear what you create in the game!
i cannot for the life of me find the wav files, I can’t seem to do the first step in the instructions.
So you'll find it here:
C:\Users\$USER\AppData\LocalLow\WhetstoneGames\OFFBEAT\exported_audio
But replace $USER with whatever your computer username is
Oh thank you, it just wasn’t given me the option to access app data without typing it in individually.
No trouble! Keen to hear your creations!
I feel dumb. How do I use the cassettes? I think I see some on a shelf, but clicking and dragging them to the sequencer doesn't appear to be working.
If you mouse over big post-it note for the job, the cassette zooms up 👀
Thanks!
This is amazing and insanely cool and awesome and a whole lot of other things too
