Vocalodama (ボカロダマ) is a mobile game produced by the YAMAHA Corporation using VOCALOID technology.
History[]
In an interview with Matsuzawa Ken, the producer of the game, explained that the roots of the game was a draft by an employee at Yamaha’s Hamamatsu branch which caught the attention of higher up management due to its use of real-time rendering. Past apps at the time developed by Yamaha did not use real-time rendering so the draft’s ability to do so immediately caught on.[1]
Gameplay was shown at the Tokyo Game Show 2013 in the i-style Project/Studio Deen booth from September 21-22, 2013. At the booth, Matsuzawa Ken and commentator Ayatan showcased the game by playing it live against each other in the ““Vocalodama” Challenge!!!” (「ボカロダマ」に挑戦！！！) segment of the event. Later on, audience members drawn by lottery were also invited to play the game live.[2][3]
The game was released on September 11, 2013 on the iOS app store in Japan. When asked about an Android version, Matsuzawa Ken revealed that there were no current plans.[4] The game was discontinued on October 30, 2020.[5]
Gameplay[]
The game features several modes of difficulty. Several songs (which are purchased as packs at 300yen each) are supplied. The application comes with 3 songs free and uses a basic version of the VY1 vocal to power the songs.
The object of the game is to slide the correct color icons to the right path as they move down each line of the song. This will cause VY1 (the singer for the app) to sing the note correctly as it should be in the song.
