Solo developer The Music Unc has announced Vibe Together, a multiplayer music-making game coming to Steam and browsers. The project has been in development for more than three years, and its Steam page is now open for wishlists.
Instead of arranging clips on a timeline, players build songs together in a shared 3D space using musical nodes and connections. Rhythm is represented by the distance between objects, while color indicates pitch. As signals travel through the connections, they trigger beats and melodies. Players can reshape their compositions while they play, either solo or with up to seven others.
A built-in procedural music system handles musical elements such as scales, keys, and chord progressions, giving players a framework for creating songs without needing to operate traditional production software.
Songs can also become levels in arcade modes. One mode turns instruments into projectiles players use to defend themselves; another transforms the music into beat-based obstacles to dodge. The game’s modes draw from genres including rhythm games and roguelikes.
Players can join through an invite link or drop into a live lobby. The community features song publishing, discovery, remixing, comments, and a weekly battle of the bands, with progression for creating, listening, competing, connecting, and playing.
The Music Unc says development began with the procedural music system, followed by a custom synth engine, non-linear sequencing, and real-time multiplayer. A Steam demo is planned, with local sessions, controller and Steam Deck support, and more. The release date and price have not yet been announced.
