Kokoro Beats | Soundwave Productions | Hiring Coders, Artists, Designers, Voice Actors, Composers, Singers!! | An RPG-Rhythm Game

Good evening. I'm looking for a group of skilled persons for my project: a rhythm game. I'm using this to provide insight and greater understanding on the workings of a rhythm game, since my ultimate goal is to make a rhythm game using Godot 4, or maybe even C down the line.

For inspiration I'm pulling from the popular mobile rhythm game, Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku. I'm not a musician or music nut, but I am a coder and an artist with great aspirations.

This forum topic is the main topic for this project! Hiring and general communication will take place here.

Studio: Soundwave Productions' Kokoro Beats
  • Add all developmental projects and stuff into here. You can also use it for general communication, however for faster contact with me or others following this thread post in this thread. How redundant I am…

Story Writing Thread: Thread
  • Story writing! There will be lots of events, story chapters, etc! Follow the thread if you wanna keep up. This is to keep the main thread clean.

Designing Thread: Thread
  • This game is going to be visual-heavy. A LOT of designing, tweaks, and adjustments will be made and considered. This is also to keep the main thread clean.

Schedule Transparency - Due May 1, Wednesday, 11:59 PM UTC:
I need everyone to tell me their days that they are able to spend at least 20 minutes on Soundwave Productions.
  • This is so that I can institute daily/bidaily/weekly stand ups for transparency and better communication.
  • Failure to communicate to me your schedule by Wednesday will end with a single strike dealt to you.
  • The “day” time period of which I am talking about is 7 AM to 9 PM your time. Not UTC.
  • Respond to me on my profile.
If you are somehow unable to spend even 20 minutes straight, let me know also. I'll think of something for you. If you have questions about what daily stand ups are, watch this video: Youtube Link to Scrum Daily Stand Ups Explained.
————————————————————

Academy Name Voting - Closes On April 28, Sunday, 11:59 PM UTC:
The suggested academy names are:
  1. The International Academy of Music (IAoM)
  2. The Symphonics
  3. Harmonic Academy
  4. Musical Arts Academy (MAA)
  5. Harmony Hall
  6. Forte Fine Arts Academy (FFAA)
  7. Kokoro Fine Arts Academy
If you have any suggestions outside of the ones listed, feel free to speak up about them.

Overall Game Elements:
  • Visual novel styled dialogue
  • Rhythm game
  • Gacha system (MAYBE)
  • NPC relationships (will trigger certain events, art, stories, and songs)
  • Save function
  • RPG-styled movement

Visual Novel:
  • Static images of characters speaking with different expressions
  • Active relationship meter at the top with typical VN dialogue settings
  • Slightly transparent textbox at the bottom
  • Hopefully with voice actors… but this is ancillary…

Rhythm Game:
  • Notes flow from the top middle to a large scale towards the bottom (Just like PJSK)
  • 2 Game Modes (PC + Mobile)
  • -> PC = standard single notes + hold notes
  • -> Mobile = standard single notes + hold notes + sliders (MOBILE is currently 2ND priority)
  • Dark + light mode? Also not MVP
  • Standard options for note speed, volume, etc

Gacha System:
  • Not very flushed out, I admit…
  • Currency is “Beats” or something like that…
  • “Beats” are earned by quests or playing the songs

Story:
  • Player controls a character, finally!
  • At start of game, player chooses gender and name
  • The main place is set in “International Academy of Music” or something like that
  • Age-range is standard high school years, because Scratch.
  • No LGBTQIA+.

Miscellaneous Game Mechanics:
  • The world is set to be sorta like a top-down pixel RPG (Omori, Pixel Dungeon, etc, etc…)
  • Player can be customized (Not MVP)
  • Profile can be customized (We'll probably make this a multiplayer, I'm not sure yet…)
  • In main lobby/home/whatever, player can view relationships, songs, stories/events, and profile…
  • NPCs that the player builds enough RP(relationship points) with can join you with special attributes/buffs during rhythm game or lounge in player's main screen…

World:
  • Time: Modern 2020s
  • Location: Prestigious music academy in London
  • - Despite the modern world, the academy has early 1900s infrastructure and feel

Let me know your thoughts! I'll go ahead and quote this on the 5th and 6th page too.

Strike System and Activity Checks:

Three strikes and you'll be fired.

How To Get Strikes:
  1. If you miss an activity check without telling me beforehand and letting the team know, you'll be dealt with two strikes.
  2. If you don't contribute to the process while work is open for taking and you're qualified to take it, you'll be dealt with a single strike.
  3. If you're disrespect any team member, be rude, incite, or rouse drama, you'll be dealt with a single strike.
  4. If you miss a regular member activity that is specifically made to be available to everyone, you will be dealt with a single strike. This includes commenting in my project, Soundwave Productions' Staff Mingling Center.

How To Clear Strikes:
  • You can't. Once you have a strike, it stays with you until you get fired.

Can I Rejoin?
  • Yes, you can, but, allow me to stress this point: I will remember you.

Strike List: (Username - Strike Count - Activities Missed Count)
  1. HundenBasse - 2/3 Strikes - 1 Missed
  2. prishaJuni - 2/3 Strikes - 2 Missed
  3. ProdRedWall - 2/3 Strikes - 2 Missed
  4. Helcat10 - 1/3 Strikes - 1 Missed
  5. fa_zos - 1/3 Strikes - 1 Missed
  6. –Fishii– - 2/3 Strikes - 2 Missed

For now, yes. However, once I understand the fundamentals and the innerworkings of a good rhythm game, I want to make it using Godot 4.
