Gameplay Video from BluPen: • 5-X Dreams Don't Stop ...
---
Ok I did not mean to just randomly stop uploading daily right before 5-X oops, if you were anticipating this and I had shut your hype down I am sorry. This one needed some extra edits to reduce cutscenes which I just got round to now.
Composer's notes from fizzd:
This one was tough for a few reasons:
- The level 2-X All The Times exists, so now I needed to make something that could live up to its reputation. That's on everyone of course beyond the music itself, but the music in RD dictates the amount of canvas I'm able to provide to people like Jenny and Morph to work with for their VFX.
- All the other boss battles exist. I wanted 5-X to be something whose structure and gameplay would feel different to all of them.
- This was the first boss level where it had so much story to tell to wrap up a character arc. With the other boss levels, I wrote almost all of them as self-contained stories before I figured the other levels in the act, and then let Kyle flesh it out with all the cutscenes to make it work. (Fun fact, 3-X One Shift More was literally where the characters of Paige and Ian and the Stevensons and Richard Hugh were all born. I had no idea when writing it that Paige/Ian would end up the game's main characters. It was just a "ooo doctors but Les Mis musical, wouldn't that be cool.." cause Winston (artist) and I acted in a student version of it before)
- But for this one we had a general character arc of Lucky already started on by Kyle, and we had a lot of ground to cover in 5-X to finish it.
So, to solve all these problems together, i needed some story/musical conclusion that would both be plausible for Lucky's arc, but also be able to use gameplay mechanics of that act in new-feeling ways.
The inspiration of making the resolution be "the whole hospital team comes together to learn baseball" was from a rock-climbing interview I saw a year ago, of a bouldering champion (Gavin Chiam) who had gone from competitive bouldering to coaching, and found that he was actually even happier seeing his students win than winning himself. That felt really suitable to RD's themes of friendship and relationships over work. • Pinch Of Salt Episode ...
So I pitched that to Kyle, he said ok we'll use that, and I struggled for months (and started and finished 5-1N etc) before finding the main melody and tempo that could work for the level.
Oops I havent started talking about the music and everyone's roles in it at all, and this is so long... I'll come back and add more on another day... Mardy, dvdfu, and Ash all did amazing work on the vocals/guitars/mixing, I'll leave it there for now. Thanks for reading!

LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
You absolutely killed it on the vocals and I don't think there is anyone who could have done it better ❤
@@Moussetrax Thank you very much! Maybe Gerard Way though haha
i get shivers everytime your vocals kick in during the end of the song, they're phenomenal!
@@robertthecta Thank you!
W vocals bro
“Can you teach me baseball?”
“wait what”
the pan up to the orange sky with the guitar riff at the beginning alone made me replay this level 30 times, not caring about how many beats i hit
finally someone gets
This is definitely the best level by far
fizzd was just crazy for this
Omg it's KadeDev
Hi kade!
All Rhythm game developers know each other
I STARTED TEARING UP DURING THIS BOSS FIGHT IT WAS *SO* AWESOME
It’s amazing how much you can feel for a character who sounded much like the politician from before. Every line of dialogue got me so invested in Lucky as a character.
This stage was the best audiovisual experience I had during this whole year, period.
The team really went far and beyond on this stage not only with the song but with details like at the start of the stage the window moving clockwise to show the pass of time or Lucky going from the "player" sprite to the "patient" sprite to show that he finally accepted his situation and many others I probably missed.
I can't personally thank you people enough for this update, wish I could buy this game twice on the same steam account, but buying it for my friends shall do the trick I hope.
Ah yes, Lucy
I can’t stop hearing the freeze beats lmao
Neither can I and i'm feeling insane because of that
omg rhythm doctor
Excited to see if you make any maps with the new mechanics :)
@@ElerickProductions maybe.. i'm currently busy with rdsrt so you will never know.
omg wolfplay
I'M STEPPING AWAY
FROM ALL MY REGRETS OF YESTERDAY
I'M MORE THAN MY DREAMS
ITS TIME TO MOVE ON
TO ALL MY FRIENDS, I'M HOLDING ON!
You absolutely knocked it out of the park guys, this act was so fantastic and the reveal of the WINDOW STRETCHING is so insane I can't imagine how hard that was to code I love this act so much thank you all for this! ❤
The funnier version is
"TO ALL MY FRIENDS, I'M *rea-dy get-set go!* "
knocked it out of the park, funni pun :)
From my experience with SFML (This game was on Unity so might have been easier), the thing with window stretching and moving wouldn't be hard. Maybe just a bit tedious with having to move the camera in a way that it would seamlessly stretch the window, but not necessarily hard. Essentially, in SFML terms, it's just changing the window size, window position, the view (camera) size and view position to create both stretching and moving. Though, really, does it matter whether it was hard or not? It was used in the most creative way ever, to make some of the best effects I've seen in a videogame, and that entire thing makes this game so unique compared to others
My favorite part!
I see what you did there
I genuinely cannot fathom how the game can get any better than this level, one of the best I've ever played

【リズム医師】 ACT５ OP 「DREAMS DONT STOP」
LMAO
it IS an anime opening
Enjoyed your content Blupen
Lemme tell ya, I yelled "*WHAT?!*" When the screen started to stretch out! I thought you guys had already done all you could with the window, but naaaaaahh!!!
Helps that this level and song is peak!!! The hype in the final stretch is unmatched in Rhythm games!!!
Your spoiling me! >:(
@@gabegamez1018 why are you here then
The window is not responding!!! (To the beat!!)
This game won every awards in my heart.
Hardest rhythm game ever, most visually stunning VFX ever, most creative gameplay ever, best out-of-bounds experience ever, best original soundtrack ever, etc..
I wouldn't be surprised if this game won every Steam awards, or every awards at "The Game Awards". This is a criminally underrated game- nono. Masterpiece. That I've ever seen in the gaming community.
I’m scared that act 6 is going to have multi-window next can’t wait!! 😁😁😁
Now you're just giving them ideas
The RD Anime OP is REAL!!
Not only that, but the story of 5-X literally sounds like the summary of an anime plot.
Wooo! Finally got Dreams Don't Stop on here!
Seriously, to all the folks in the 7th Beat Games team, thank you for such an amazing update, and for Rhythm Doctor. Y'all made something absolutely exceptional!
(hello sorry this comes out of nowhere but I just wanted to say that your sona looks super cute!)
@@LukasSpaghetti
Thank ya kindly.
i think this is the peak of rhythm doctor but then again we dont know whats in store for act 6 and beyond
absolutely insane work on this act from everyone
one of my favorite tracks in the entire rhythm gaming genre, great work!
2AM. Sitting in my room, playing this game on the dawn of my birthday, struggling with the stage and yet I finally make it through to hear the bit at 4:52 kick in. I felt the lyrics sink their way into me and wash over, the resonance hitting me like a truck and driving such a sense of inspiration into me.
This game truly is something to behold, man.
I swear, this game’s window dancing is the most creative thing I’ve seen a game do
And the window stretching in this level just makes it so much better like oh my god
Best rhythm game
LYRICS + DIALOGUE FOR 'DREAMS DON'T STOP' ( made by @cloverlovania )
[instrumental]
[dialogue]
Lucky: They keep saying "healing takes time".
Lucky: How long is this gonna take?
[lyrics]
To all my fans (To all the fans)
I tried my best but things are tough
I'm out of luck (You're out of luck)
My joints are torn, I can't hold on
Everybody believes there must be
Something wrong with me,
To stay this way
But my dreams don't stop,
So I'll keep holding on
[instrumental]
[lyrics]
The air is still
But there's no peace inside this place
Fans lose their cool
My team moves on, I've been replaced
I'm fed up with waiting
My body is fading
I'm sick of your sympathy
[dialogue]
Miner: Hey! Everything okay?
Lucky: Eh.
Miner: C'mon, let's do our stretches.
Lucky: Ugh... fine...
Miner: It'll never be a hundred percent. You have to make peace with that.
Lucky: I know... it's just...
Lucky: I was never much of anyone as a kid.
Lucky: Bad grades, couldn't even focus, mom and dad yellin' at me...
Lucky: But on the field, everything was different.
Lucky: Without baseball... I feel like I'll just be that useless kid again.
Miner: ...
Lucky: Sorry, I...
Samurai: Can you teach me baseball?
Lucky: wait what
[instrumental]
[dialogue]
Lucky: Alright everyone!
Lucky: Tomorrow's the big day! The local university agreed to a game. It won't be easy.
Ian: H-Hey Ada, we've got a problem...
Ian: The virus is back.
Ian: No matter what we do, it sticks around.
Paige: Then the intern will have to keep watch on the whole team. What choice do we have?
Lucky: Can't sleep... why is my heart racing?
Lucky: Do I really care whether they win this pointless match?
Lucky: Or does "coaching" just mean that I'm giving up on my dreams?
[instrumental]
Lucky: Ninth inning, team!
Lucky: I know how it feels. Like you're running on an empty tank. That it'd be easier to just let it be over.
Lucky: But don't give in.
Lucky: Y'know, when you all said you wanted me to coach you...
Lucky: ...I thought you were joking.
Lucky: I didn't think you'd stand a chance in a real game, but here you are.
Lucky: That's why I've learned to never listen to what coaches have to say. They're usually clueless.
Lucky: So listen to me just this once, and then never listen to me again!
Lucky: If you push yourself further here... on a path you never thought you could run on...
Lucky: ...I know you'll live with no regrets!
[lyrics]
I'm stepping away
From... all my regrets of yesterday
I'm more than my dreams
It's time to move on
To all of my friends, I'm holding on!
[instrumental]
there it is! the one song we have been waiting for them to upload!
amazing level tho, the creativity is off the charts and how the level builds its climax is cool as heck. can't for the future acts
also i still can hear the ready get set go cue at 5:11, man grinding perfect rank on this level sure hit different
Fizzd's done an incredible job on composing this and Mardy's vocals really top it off
Actually one of the new best songs now 💯💯💯
Thank you 🥹
THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING SONG OMG I love Rhythm Doctor
4:26 Not even the weirdest distraction in the game, but somehow the hardest, but also the coolest by far
6 bounces, you hit on the 7th, just in case you still struggled with it
This song is really amazing. Sometimes it's energetic, while something could be emotional, something could be rough and scared but you know you need to be stable and calm. (especially with the first piano part in the first cutscene that is pretty emotional [I really love that part]). Felt like watching a movie overall. Really great song. Probably one of the most memorable level then, in terms of story and chart, plus emotion and music, and it's even powerful when you are involved in it instead of watching.
Great job on this song and the levels.
The song feel like a story being told with audio alone.
But with the game, it adds a new dimemsion to what you're already hearing.
Got this game about a week ago and DAMN THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!! I would say that this game became my favorite rhythm game after beating act 5. I’m excited to see how the rest of the game will turn out in the future!
It just isn't the same without my computer crashing. Though seriously, I LOVE this song as well as act 5! Good job!
Oh it wasn’t just me? Legitimately I thought it was an intentional part of the sequence until the game closed and I went “hmmmm maybe that wasn’t supposed to happen after all”
This is too good for a small indie game
This was a treat to experience with the window stretching. It really felt like an evolution to All the Times and I was loving it. Of course the song itself is great too. I ended up not skipping the last cutscene a few times while going for perfect so I can hear all of the lyrics at 4:53 in full. The way the music swells with it gets me pumped. Thank you 7th Beat Games for your hard work. It definitely paid off and was worth the wait :V
the visuals in this game and the window manipulation are all so encapsulating and good, the music pairs excellently with all of it, very amazing game!!
i love the “the air is still… *clap clap clap* there is no peace inside this place” line! love to the people who make the songs :)
Finally, the ost upload is complete!
My first time on Rhythm Doctor's boss stages will be unforgettable, and are and will remain one of my most memorable video game experiences. This music has been following me ever since I first heard it, it's just incredible. Thank you so much for this creativity and innovation, I hope video games will always be able to surprise me like this, I sometimes miss this freshness! ❤
I didn’t realize this act was literally all just a build up to this FREAKIN FANTASTIC ANIME OPENING STYLE LEVEL OH MY GOD
I had very little expectations going into this act to be honest, like I thought you did everything that could be done. And then you guys blew it out of the park. (Hehe)
I’ve never felt more happy I went into something blind than this level. ^^
1 why is the beginning like an anime song, secondly. THAT TRANSITION BETWEEN THE HOSPITAL AND OUTSIDE IN THE BEGINNING WAS SO SMOOTH.
Also. This song sounds so much better with the audio ques. Maybe it's just to i can pretend to play the level while im not at my pc lol.
Love how the static that happens at 2:45 is actually following the beat of the next pattern
my volume reaches UNFATHOMABLE levels when this comes on 🙏
literally can not play this level without singing along to lucky and the nurse's cues as well as bouncing up and down to the beat lol
this act really brought the game from a banger to a whole-ass bucket-list item
I cannot believe I can say Welcome to The Black Parade inspired a Rhythm Doctor song that actually explains why the final vocals reminded me of MCR (Mardy killed it thank you so much)
Regardless the wait was so worth it, thank you so much Fizzd for pouring your heart out to this song and I am grateful for everyone else that helped along the way
i love that this game was able to absolutely blow my mind with the moving window twice, still one of the coolest things in any game ive ever played
Potentially the first musical-like rhythm game level with an in-level nightmare sequence I’ve seen. Never thought I’d say those words in that order, but here we are I guess… man, this game is something else!
We need this on spotify bro please
after failing my first go, I just knew I had to stand up for this, and so I propped my laptop with what I had on hand and had an impromptu dance session beating the level, unique and delightful experience for sure
2:50 to 3:02 builds anticipation so well! it sends chills :)
Wowie zowie, this is not only the most special boss in rhythm doctor, but probably in the rhythm gaming history!
You guys really did a great job
🥺🥺🥺
I honestly cried at this song. All the effects, the mechanics, the music, the backstory ... Everything falls into place. It is so well done. And the game is still not finished yet. I cant wait until the other acts are revealed
This level exceeded my expectations, I thought it was only windowdance just like All The Times but when the window resized, I literally cried. Best game ever
This level completely blew me away when I first played it.
I didn't imagine a rhythm game would make me cry... This got me so emotional, this one and 3-X. This game is much more than a 1 button rhythm game, its a full experience. Much love from Brazil.
I know Rhythm Heaven (Tengoku) is the inspiration for the gameplay, but the mood of this song has some Elite Beat Agents vibes as well. :D
(also holy crap 7BG you went above and beyond with this content)
WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE DREAMS WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥💯💯🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
If rythym doctor was an anime.
Its my favorite anime
as if it wasn't an anime already
this act was my favorite act by FAR! You guys did so good with the writing on this one, can't wait for whats up next!
I don't know whether I should love or despise your pfp
Dont you just love it when a game makes you hit 16 consecutive beats imediently before actually introducing you to the title card? I do.
lyrics:
to all my fans (TO ALL THE FANS)
I tried my best but things are tough
i'm out of luck (YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK)
my joints are torn, i can't hold on
everybody believes there must be something wrong with me to stay this way
but my dreams don't stop, so i'll be holding ooon!
the air is still
but there's no peace inside this place
fans lose their cool
my team moves on, i've been replaced
i'm fed up with waiting
my body is fading
i'm sick of your sympathy
I'M STEPPING AWAY
FROM ALL MY REGRETS OF YESTERDAY
I'M MORE THAN MY DREAMS
ITS TIME TO MOVE ON
TO ALL MY FRIENDS, I'M HOLDING OOOOON

Goosebumps GALORE. People who handled the gameplay effects gave it their all with this act!
My heart was pounding so hard while playing this game that I ended up giving the game over several times. It's very rare to feel out of breath while playing a game. The directing of this game is superb.
Probably my favorite level to S rank this act by far, it's such a fun challenge and SO satisfying to succesfully pull off!
Amazing level!
You guys absolutely knocked it out of the park with this and I'm so happy to have been around to play it ❤
Please keep working. This is one of my favorite rhythm games next to Rhy,thm Heaven. The music and levels are beautiful. Your team deserves everything.
I CRIED OF PURE JOY PLAYING THIS ONE!!
3:25 Is my fave part. That's when I was REALLY rocking my head back and forth
hands down my favorite level in the game, amazing job with everything about this song
if there was a "best song on a rhythm game award", this song would win it. If not, the best. Good Work 7th Beat Games!
Everything about act 5 was amazing! Been having a blast playing these new songs and the atmosphere is so cool. Thanks so much for this.
I absolutely loved this song since the day i heard it for the first time in game, the level is just as amazing too, Incredible production for an awesome game!
EVERYONE DID AMAZING ON THIS SONG!!! GENUINELY JUST AN INSANE LEVEL PROPS TO THE TEAM!!!
this level was my favourite thing to come out of any rhythm game ever I think
i love this level so much! you guys did a really good job with this update :D
omg everyone did such an amazing job on this song and level
Reading the description and what went behind the making of this song was really cool. I need to go back and see if everything else had one too cause I don't remember
When the game tells you to disable your steam overlay you know things are about to get real
my heart DROPPED whenever I first heard them say “the virus is back” lol
highkey this level almost made me cry its so good
hi guys its new years eve where i am and im timing the drop at 5:13 to the new year
8 days later update: i did it
This is my favorite level in video games. I've been at it for thirteen years now, and even among Hi-Fi RUSH, HITMAN, or anything Valve has created, this was the best individual level in any game I've ever played.
But seriously - you said it was a challenge to live up to 2-X's reputation, so how are you going to top this?
I take it back. I don't want to know the answer. I'm just excited for the finale.
I’ve played this level so many times that I can hear all the audio cues in my head
loooove this! and it's so kind to have save point during the stage as well ;)
this music is just peak act 5, and that's surprising because act 5 is awesome
Wonderful music, and probably my new favorite level!! When window started stretching a bit (2:00), I was like "huh, isn't it streching", and when it became freaking square, and then started to goo all over the place... maaan, I smiled sooooo much at this part :DD It was so wonderful to experience!!
Also, is it just me, or is the gimmick at 1:20 and 5:22 (when you hit at all the beats, not just offbeats) sooo satisfying to hit? Haha
ever having a good day then ready ready get set go and you get arthritis
That hopeful guitar kicks in right when Lucky mentions being on the field is such an awesome sound choice, fizzd cooked!
I was literally crying while playing this level. Felt like i've finished a great anime which has perfect story telling and perfect fight scenes. Biggest W in the game history. Thank you 7th Beat Games team ❤
100% my new favourite level of the game, you guys absolutely killed the new act!
Best song yet, change my mind
If rhythm doctor was an anime this would be the intro song
this level and song, as well as lucky's general story, really spoke to me as someone whose physical disability recently got to the point where i can't really function normally anymore. his fans not understanding really spoke to the outside perspectives people have when a disability invisible, and him accepting that things will be different, not worse but different, and finding something new to fulfill himself in coaching is really inspirational and gives me a lot of hope and determination to find good in a life that has changed irreparably and accept that i have new limitations
We getting out of the physiotherapy ward with this one 🔥 🔥 💯 💯
PLS I NEED ALL THE OSTs ON APPLE MUSIC I LOVE THEM SO BAD
Such an amazing way to end this latest act. I'm so excited for the next one! Congratulations to everyone in the 7beats team and others who have shared their talents, and thank you so much for all that you do!
4:26 this part gave me so many goosebumps when I played it
The song a charting helps sell the story the level is telling, which is the climax of Lucky's arc
"can you teach me baseball"
wait wat- (the way he timed saying that was amazing [i cant say _how_ he said it because its just eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh ])
i like how i memeorized exactly when to press even without indicators, but i always miss JUST ONE, S+ gonna take forever >.>
rhythm doctor is constantly outdoing itself and i'll be in anticipation of whatever the full game looks like
Such a unique rhythm game experience. Yall fuckin killed it 🤘
FINALLYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEST SONG!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for making a such fabulous and amazing song!!!!
Hope to see you again in any possible way, developer!!
This update and song just BLEW MY MIND ! Thanks again
This might be my favorite level yet
