Wow, it is very surreal to see you finally playing this map- Shattersong was the first map that I worked on in sj, and the first Celeste-related music I ever wrote!
So many different people worked on this level- tons of different mappers and so many coders- designing cassette blocks that work with irregular time signatures turned out to be a very tricky thing to do, and the entity is one of the most complicated in sj from a coding perspective, since we also had to modify several other properties of the cassette block so that the music meter and the blocks never de-synced.
The song itself was also quite the adventure to figure out because the cassette rhythm part of the music and the background ambience have to be able to loop completely independently of each other since the cassette rhythm is controlled by the blocks which stop when paused, while the ambience works as a true background music track that loops on its own. We had to figure out how to implement this in the program fmod - it involved splitting it up into over 1000 tiny audio files! The cassette loop changes in each room so we needed new sets of audio files for each room as well.
Yes- the level is definitely kinda jank. I think that is often the result of us trying to design gameplay that forced certain button presses in time with the beat pattern, almost sort of turning Celeste into a strange rhythm game.
Good luck with the rest of the level! (Also hope you enjoyed the creepy postcard sound effect from the start of the level- I’m pretty proud of that one haha)
That creepy postcard audio blew me away, I opened that map up cause of the number of creators and instantly backed out cause I knew this would be an experience separate of anything I’d ever seen before. And, after clearing it a few months after the release of SJ, I can say that this map’s atmosphere and weird gameplay make it one of my favorite experiences in this game.
Good job to you and the shattersong team for blending sound design and music into something I still can’t even begin to describe! If I could give an award to any map, shattersong would get it
i've been grinding Shattersong and i think you and the team blew it out of the park. the level has so much _character_ and i personally think the execution was fucking stellar. my favourite level in SJ
fiiiiiiiinally oh my god I've been WAITING for you to get here!!!
HI HYDRO (for the second time today)
Your map is still one of my favorites even 8 hours after I said it before.
okay I just finished the video, whew! So uh you did the first room very wrong lol so that's why it was a weird. Also, the sheet music is in fact an indication as to how to clear the room. the top line represents jumps and the bottom line represents dashes. Also also, yes this level was very hard to make haha
Hey Chris! I stumbled onto your channel a few months ago and I’ve been watching your SJ playthrough on and off
It’s been absolutely incredible to see a person going from close to the complete beginning of the skill ceiling all the way to high GM, I don’t think there’s any other series on all of TH-cam that showcases the absolute brilliance of this game and its community as much as yours has
So what I mean to say is keep at it dude!
Also regarding some thoughts on later levels:
- Shattersong berryless is genuinely amazing, I’m so glad you’re not putting yourself through Full Clears right now because dear god half the berries in this map suck
- If you’re comfortable with cornerkicks and that stuff, 74 is by far the easiest red, except maybe the final room - in any case it’s super cool
- For crackeds, definitely go with Ivory first, it’s by far the easiest, but prepare for some pretty crazy input density
- Next do Nelumbo, it’s hard as hell, but absolutely nothing in the entire collab comes close to the final two crackeds
- It’s a huge debate in the community for whether Pinball Purgatory or The Solar Express is harder, with most people believing the former, but the latter is definitely better designed and would probably be more climactic to do as the final map - just beware that Pinball Purgatory will probably take you upwards of fifty hours
- And lastly, the Heartside, the best level I have ever and will ever play in this video game - it’s hard as hell but I really do hope you get to it, it’s an incredible experience
Good luck going forward man! We’ll be watching!
can't believe you're almost completed all the maps of strawberry jam, it has been sooooo much cool to see you get better at celeste (it also motivated me to play more celeste so thanks you!!). I wish you good luck on the last maps, you're almost done congratulations !!! 😎
ooh i've been waiting for this... gl with finishing shong!
Oh god please don't call it that
Hey Chris! First of all, I'm halfway through the video and I hope your finger is okay. Take it easy!
Secondly, the music sheets provide explicit instructions on the dash and jump timings to solve the room. You missed the first couple as they are hidden, but the first one is keyed and tutorializes them. They're obviously not needed to clear though.
Okay done with video! It's a lot of fun to watch you puzzle these out, and I've come to really look forward to watching these. Fun fact about Shattersong is I believe it involved like, 33 or 35 different people working on it? There's a ton of custom code that was created for it and almost all the berry rooms were guest rooms from other mappers. This map alone is one of the largest collaborative projects ever made for this game. It's a beast!
Good luck with the last few rooms!
I think the rooms are less trial and error if you combine normal planning with the hidden music scores
yessss shattersongggg, good luck!! this is one of my favorite maps in sj!
Been binging your videos and its inspiring me to go back and keep playing strawberry jam. Love these videos alot!
woo! good luck with shattersong, this map can be pretty tough but i know you can do it!!
My opinion on this map is basically what yours was so far, it's a very cool concept. I definitely considered silvering it, but the gameplay is a little too jank so I didn't. Instead I got the second hardest silver in SJ :). (heart sides have goldens, not silvers) (also I'm not implying shattersong is the hardest silver, definitely not)
"I don't see a berry" yeah it's higher up than that.
Great map, but I wish it got even wackier with the timings. What if there was a 2, 2, 2, 8 version or something?
shong time
that was some pretty interesting cheese on the last room lol
wait that wasnt cheese you made it harder somehow i dont even understand how you did that
still a little funny
i beat all the sj maps. with assistence.
This level is my least favorite level in gm lobby by a very large amount. So I wont say anything about this nor explain it. See you on the 74 video and more!
Very hot take but alright
