"RESONARK" is a series of cross-platform VRChat game Worlds created by septem47, the first being published on May 8th, 2020. This rhythm game features mechanics very similar to SEGA's arcade rhythm game series MaiMai and あおお/A-ZERO's iOS rhythm game series WAVEAT . RESONARK also features notable artists from these games, as well as artists from BMS, beatmaniaIIDX, DanceDanceRevolution and many more. RESONARK is also available as as standalone game on Steam as RESONARK X, however it has not been updated to include songs from RESONARK 4: ELVES.

The PCVR version of RESONARK features a camera system to display and record stylized gameplay, as well as keeping track of play performance on screen as an overlay that overrides the desktop display.

Gameplay

The basic mechanics of RESONARK centre around stereoscopics and gameplay similar to MaiMai but in a 3D space. RESONARK's playfield features six lanes distributed on a hexagon. The goal is to hit approaching diamond notes when they make contact with the points on the hexagon. Players can earn more points and score higher grades based on how accurately they hit the notes according to the rhythm of the song. Starting from RESONARK 3: FEST and beyond, some charts will cause the entire playfield to rotate, which can add complexity to the gameplay. The following controls are explained for VR. Desktop controls will be explained at the bottom of this section. There are four types of notes in RESONARK.

Tap Note

This is the standard note. Players only need to tap the note with their hands and do not need to press any buttons.

Flick Note

Similar to the tap note, this note requires the player to "flick" away from the lane when it makes contact with the corresponding point of the hexagon. The lane will briefly turn blue when the player moves away from the lane, triggering the flick note function. A tip to trigger the note with less effort is to move to an adjacent lane rather than flicking outwards or inwards of the hexagon, which can save stamina and hit flick notes much easier.

Long Note

This is a note that works similarly to a tap note, however the player must keep their hand on the note until the end of the yellow trail. The end of the long note will either be a tap note or a flick note.

Clap Note

This green note has the player physically clap their avatar's hands together. If the note is timed correctly, it will trigger a unique sound and extra visuals. There are two alternative ways of activating the clap note, which are to use both triggers or grips of the player's controllers. To change to these alternate controls, the player must set them in the World's right hand menu.

Playing on Desktop

The gameplay of RESONARK on Desktop mode is very similar to playing in VR, however the notes are controlled via keyboard and the playfield does not rotate. The following controls are with a QWERTY layout keyboard. The left side, from top to bottom, is controlled by T G B, respectively. The right side, from top to bottom, is controlled with U J M, respectively. Claps are triggered with K. Tap Notes are triggered by tapping the key. Flick Notes are triggered by pressing the corresponding key and releasing it as soon as the note hits the corresponding point. Long Notes are triggered by tapping and holding the key until the end of the note. Clap Notes work exactly like a tap note.

Song Lists

Below are tables for the list of songs and difficulties for each RESONARK World, as well as what each world brings in each subsequent release. All RESONARK worlds share the same user capacity of up to 14/28 (Suggested/Actual Maximum).

RESONARK 4 -ELVES- Part 1: Moonlight

[vrc thumbnail]

World Link

The forth World of RESONARK, published on April 3rd, 2023. It presents itself as a multipart series for what may be the most remarkably ambitious rendition of the series of Worlds. It introduces a massive environment and visual overhaul, a progression system, improved UI, a new stage, and a save system. Secrets can be found and goals can be achieved in order to unlock additional songs. The scoring system has been reworked as well, with the player's in-game performance being shown at the top of their vision containing their combo and projected grade. The tutorial song has been replaced with one made by Tatsh.

The trial avatar "Honoka" can be found in this world, the full original model being purchasable on BOOTH. There is also a link to purchase the game World's OST as another way to support the World creator.

A recent update (August 8, 2024) has made the game tie in with the lore that can be found in RESONARK 4 -ELVES- Part 2: Raylight, as well as some minor UI adjustments. Saves are NOT cross compatible between Worlds at the moment as of the latest update.

Contains 17 new songs, 11 which are unlockable through various goals and tasks. Songs written in italics are locked songs requiring specific goals to be unlocked.

[vrc thumbnail]

World Link

Retaining similar concepts as RESONARK 4 -ELVES- Part 1: Moonlight, this addition to the series introduces a tablet that brings in lore that ties in with the previous RESONARK. Completing tasks and goals unlocks more and more chapters that expand upon the story, as well as rewarding the player with more songs to play.

This World integrates the VRChat Creator Economy; by purchasing the Supporter Role monthly subscription for 600 VRChat Credits, players are given more songs to play in the world while supporting the World creator. The trial avatar "Cian" can be found in this world as well, the full original model being purchasable on BOOTH.

Saves are NOT cross compatible between this World and Part 1: Moonlight at the moment as of the latest update.

Contains 17 new songs, 11 which are unlockable through various goals, tasks and the Supporter Role. Songs written in italics are locked songs requiring specific goals to be unlocked. Songs written in underlined italics are premium songs requiring the Supporter Role monthly subscription.
