Minigame Competition #41, Get your groove on~

He said before he edited it recently and made it even more vague that ANY rhythmic gameplay is not allowed. From what he has left there, essentially seems like the same deal, the mood is set by music, gameplay can't incorporate anything rhythmic, so not truly a music game. I'll "get over it" when it becomes clear what he will allow and not allow with this one, because the theme makes no sense at the moment.

You know no one's forcing you to take part in this!

I am...

Don't move Delmore, I swear I'll pull the damn trigger.

Keyser, I honestly wanted to, but it isn't a real music game competition! Don't shoot, please!

Uh yeah I just figured that you were complaining because your current project doesn't fit the criteria. Might have been a bit harsh there. Sorry about that.

I wasn't really even using that for this competition, I was going to have rhythmic gameplay though, but I can't do that now.

this just made me not enter

Geez, this topic sounded so easy at first.
Im nowhere closer to an idea than before.

You can have rythmic gameplay, people. You just can't make just a DDR knock-off. You have to have something more than that.

He said already you can't in his early post though, and the response he gave me makes it seem otherwise here!

DIBS ON DDR

o wait

I'm pretty sure he means you can do anything music-based aslong as it isn't a DDR/Guitar Hero-ripoff.

I'll tell him to change it to make it more clear.

Sounds great, i may enter if i get ideas

...why no GH/DDR ripoffs

because they're cheap

I really don't get this comp. You know, when I usually make a level (yes, I suprisingly make levels first, then add music), I add a tune related to the level in some way. I feel like that this comp reverses it.

A.K.A. FIRST you select the music you want, THEN you make the level, when it's normally FIRST you make the level, THEN add the music.

That's not so music-related. And those "when music is happy, enemies dance. and when it's hard rock, enemies mosh" ideas aren't so much music-related.

The comp idea isn't that bad, it's just the fact that you say we can't do music related stuff. It like saying this in a Mario-related comp: "You have to do a game based on Mario. No SMB2 Mario based games, thank you.". Rhythm games are like 80-90% of all music-related games. And even though you have a gigantic knowledge of MMF2 or GM, you probably still can't make, for example, a Vib Ribbon-styled game.

Exactly, music first game second.

And boring...

So yeah, I know we CAN make rhythm based games, but I can also make a game that really fits my song and has events that happen in relation to high and low points in the song correct?

sure, I don't see why not

Go right ahead!

Now see this is an example of a game that uses rhythm BUT isn't like a DDR/etc game.

I got the best idea for a game ever :]
