aight, essay time.
Beat Banger community and devs are just weird in general. I'd say the main issue with Kom is the fact he's trying to be a game dev, community playboy, and an artist at the same time, which is the worst combo for a game dev. Not only that but he is too ambitious, what in the skies of god made him think he can code a multiplayer game of all things? If I was him, I'd at least would experiment with making a multiplayer thing for beat banger before making a whole game. Kom is clearly inexperienced, it shows. Hell, if we ever want to put salt on the wound we could always mention Zeekers,
the lone dev who made Lethal company at age 21 (who's also a furry).
Modding the game itself is already a shitshow. The fact that the community mods an old version of the game and new is so strange. It's mainly because most modders say release modding looks intimidating or say they're waiting for the game to be finished
(Lmao). So modding for legacy is always on the rise versus the release modding scene which has only gone further downhill, as the current charting tool for release is full of bugs and missing QoL fixes
(Imagine not having a hotkey that automatically goes to the next beat/note on a timeline) because the dev who made that gave up and works on his on version of the game that's called the
"CUM" build which as far as I've seen is the best version of beat banger, but you can
only get by DM'ing him.
It feels like the devs should've just committed to 2 acts and then focused on the modding scene, because two issues with modding is that it's what hooks most of the current audience, and it's basic as shit. It's why most players of mods just want to either watch a video of it or just do autoplay. There is nothing that modders can add that makes people want to play the mods themselves, so making original or even reskin mods are time-consuming rewardless things that people would rather watch than play. If the modding scene was similar to rhythm doctor's then I feel modding would be on the rise, but modders have so little tools that it's just almost not worth it. Probably why modding is far slower now than ever before.
Tldr; The devs suck, modding scene is shambles, aka just the usual baabey
