My name is Tetro and I'm the creator and lead developer of the online rhythm game Pulsus, which is currently looking for help with development, localization, and community engagement! Pulsus has been in development for the past 6 years with regular updates being released or progress reports given to the community, and the game is still active with players creating their own levels with the built-in level editor or hosting tournaments and sharing their scores on our Discord server.
Please note that because I don't earn much more than enough to pay for the servers for this game, all positions (besides development positions) are Volunteer until future notice, with no formal compensation. Development positions are entitled to rev-share based on activity.
There are currently two versions of the game being developed/maintained:
- Pulsus Gamma: The current live version playable in browser or downloadable on itch.io, made in JavaScript
- Pulsus Delta: The experimental/in-progress rewrite of the game, written in Rust with TypeScript/JavaScript for WASM glue code
Developers for the game will be expected to mainly focus on Delta development, though because of the time it will take to complete this, infrequent smaller updates are still being released as needed for Gamma. Delta is also in the early stages of being ported from TypeScript to Rust, though most of the framework has been completed and most of the code design/refactoring has been completed through the original TypeScript rewrites as well.
Other positions are also available, mainly for Translation work, with descriptions on the website linked below. Though there are also positions available for Event Organizing, Social Media Management, and Video Editing.
Pretty sure this is a known issue, did the account have an empty username? If so, this only occurred because this account was created using external game hacks and does not belong to an actual user -- a fix for this is planned but it should not let you into any actual user accounts through this same method
My name is Tetro and I'm the lead client developer for the web rhythm game Pulsus [exe] [web], and I'm looking to expand the team of people working on the game. The game is entirely made with JavaScript and the p5.js library, with a backend running Node.js (although I'm not necessarily looking for backend developers) Also, here's a video on the game to give you an idea of everything in it without having to play through it yourself:
Working as a developer, you should have:
- Experience working with JS to write software / interactive web pages
- Being able to work on the game at least a few times a week
- Someone who would actually enjoy working on this project and isn't doing it just for money or having a position above others
Preferred qualities would be:
- Experience using the p5.js library (although its pretty easy to pick up if you've never done it before)
- Experience with game development
- Released / publicly made available projects in the past that are in a useable state that I could take a look at to get an idea of your experience
- Experience using Discord and with Discord server moderation
Also I do make money off of the game through a Patreon, and even though its not a lot, if you are helping develop the game of course we will discuss giving you a portion of the profits from that based off of how much work you'll be doing for the game.
I think that's everything, otherwise I'll update this post if I can think of other stuff, feel free to link your Discord tag or any previous work you'd like to show in the replies! I'll try to get to them all ASAP.
Hello, if you mean that you were working on creating your own levels, they do not save automatically to the servers, meaning they will not appear on other devices besides the one you created them on. If you would like to save the level to the servers though you can upload it at any time and then copy and edit it on another device!
Ok, I'll try to fix this sometime in the future if I can figure out what's causing the game to crash there for you, if you find out any more information on why this may be happening please send it here or in the Discord server!
Could you try playing the game in a web browser (https://pulsus.cc/play) and tell me if you get similar results? The screen may not turn grey, just wondering if it will still crash consistently.
Sorry about that! When that happens, that usually means our servers have gone offline for some reason, and you'll have to check back in a bit to see if they've gone back up. If they have, the game should load in fine for you!
When launching the game and clicking past the title screen, you are shown the list of all currently ranked levels in order of ascending difficulty. If you would like to view unranked maps, click the podium icon next to the search bar above the list of ranked levels (That's also where the rest of the search filters are located)
If you're referring to Songs uploaded to the game by users:
You can get to this screen by clicking the menu icon in the top left corner and clicking on the "Songs" option. Note that "Songs" in this context are NOT the same as "Levels," and you won't be able to play or find any levels on the songs page, click the menu icon and go back to the Levels page to find online levels. The songs page is where you can upload and find music to use in your levels, and each song displays their corresponding Song ID that you can put into the editor to use that song in your own level.
Hope this helps, otherwise if you need more clarification on anything feel free to reply to this post or message me over on the Pulsus Discord Server
Hello! A guide on creating direct links can be found here. If you need any more help feel free to ask here or in the Discord server! Thanks for playing! :)
My game is HTML5 and uses the Mouse Wheel to scroll through menus in the game. The problem is, it also scrolls the web page, causing the game to go off screen. Just was wondering if there was a way around this.
