So ive been posting comments on this for a while, but i figured id get some input before I start the development of it.
The IdeaA dubstep scrolling shooter! Similar to the dancedancerevolution type game, only with a ship and enemies! The enemies and graphics move with the music based on a timeline format. Dying lowers your score, and you can get highscores on each song. Like other games of this type, you have to earn a certain score to unlock new songs.Just like many dubstep songs or light effects on stage performances, the graphics would represent an overhyped theme, with many flashy effects on text, enemies, backgrounds and everything.While I'd like to call it DubShooter, it wouldnt have to be limited to all dubstep. I like dance-house, and drum-n-bass as well. The music would come from places like newgrounds, UKF, and our own artists! (with permission from the artists).The PlanI'd design some menu effects to start off things, and probably the saving mechanism to create timeline formats for new songs with their effects and enemy sequences. This way if you make new song packs and whatnot, you can distribute them, and maybe official packs will have prices and stuff.Graphics for the menu and effects in the game would be needed. Definitely high quality, flashy, and busy :P These effects would be able to be called from the timeline format. The enemies would also need design and effects for them as well. Should be a good number so that the game wouldn't need to be updated for a while.Programming would be needed mainly for the gameplay. The ship, powerups, multipliers, enmies, and maybe some effects that need programming. The menu would need programming as well, but the graphics would be the main concern.==I know theres been a game done for mainly dubstep on XBLA, but it looked pretty crappy… so this would be a lot better, and more fun to play. Basically the overhyping would make it awesome lol.I may plan on adding achievements and possibly a 2 player mode that could be played online with each other. It would work well with the API since it can return your friends to the game and make it easy to set up matches. This would be much later though.Any thoughts on this? You guys like to be very skeptical, but it helps me to figure out whats best. Would you wanna participate in this collab?EDIT: This will also probably be done in game maker so that it can be made faster and be a common platform. Unless everyone wants to use something else and has the resources to do it.
wait.. yep, sounds like an audiosurf ripoff.
also a video game synched to music, how original *yawn*SO BOSS SON
What's dubstep?
Let me enlighten you.
@kilin: Im pretty sure theres a 99% difference. I'm glad you dislike the genre, but just because you dislike it doesn't mean other people like it. :/ what music do you like then?
Come on man, it's a running joke. I don't have any feelings toward dubstep in particular.
Oh, I always thought this was dubstep:
