Have an idea for a new music game.

[TyTigeriku]

Okay, so I've had this idea for a cool new music game, based off of an older "game". What is it?

Polybius: Tempest of Music.


This is a mockup of the control panel. As you can see, it shows two joysticks (!) for each player. Why two? so they can hit simultaneous arrows, of course! :P Yes, it will be UDLR, ala DDR/ITG. Why?

This is the arrow scheme I'm shooting for.

Mothafukkin' TEMPEST STYLE.

-There are also info screens, which show the song name, artist name, song difficulty, level, and BPM (Technology of Furlisa is not 195BPM, by the way.).

-The arrows will be the "enemies", the blast area is the step zone, the counterattacks are mines, unless it's an attack sent by you (Versus Mode only).

-There will be six difficulties.

Pop (Beginner)
Boom (Easy)
Crush (Medium)
Blast (Hard)
Annihilate (Expert)
Project (Experimental/Another)

These are the grades. They range from on the dot accurate to complete miss.

The song list is composed predominately of "scary" songs, like Metal, Speedcore, Hardcore and way out there, disturbing stuff. This game is meant to be insane and scary, and will NOT be meant for the faint of heart. It's supposed to have at least SOME basis in the urban legend of the Polybius game.

I somehow missed hearing about Polybius until just now, but after looking it up on Google/Wikipedia ( ) I think this would make a great iidea for a game =^^= In addition to speedcore, I demand that there be some terrorcore and extratone as well.

That sounds awesome... and... I don't know much about programming...
but you could probably make it doable thorough modding the way StepMania works. I like that and I'd try it too.

What's Terrocore though? Never heard of that. Yay for speed core!

lol It's like the dark version of DDR. lol

Terrorcore is basically hardcore techno with darker/scarier themes (Often using amples from horror movies and such). Wikipedia might be a bit better at describing it than me, though XP

Terrorcore employs the use of "scary" samples and synthesised sounds to give the tunes their "terror" edge. Also terrorcore can utilize both sped-up drum and bass samples and four-to-the-floor drum patterns similar to speedcore, frequently with tunes switching between both styles and then dropping with both simultaneously.

Sounds fun. I don't know why I like speedcore so much. It's probably just because it would make an ordanary person rip their hair out. lol
