Real guitar battle RPG
Hi, I am trying to raise money to finish my game about dueling guitar wizards. Â I have always been a big fan of that nexus of fantasy and metal, usually played up in many “power metal” bands. Â Â I am creating a high-fantasy multiplayer guitar game that combines this aesthetic with that of the battle scene from Crossroads.
I have already developed a demo which I believe proves the concept. Â I wouldn’t ask for money had I not felt I had already done the hard and technical part, and had proved to myself that the primary game mechanic is solid. Â Much of what remains is to finish building the networking for multiplayer, the story-line, much more music, art, and writing. Â To make this the best content I possibly can, I decided to try a Kickstarter campaign. Â I will be using the money to fund the creation of this content from extremely talented artists. Â The goal is to create a light-hearted and comical high-fantasy / metal inspired world as the setting for a solid rhythm game with RPG elements. Â Ultimately, with enough funding, this would include the player vs player online multiplayer infrastructure. Â I also want the game to be an educational tool for new guitarists as well.
Depending on the level of support, I plan to do regular live-coding sessions which will be streamed on either Twitch or D-Live in order to keep everyone updated on the progress, and to give backers a channel to give feedback during the creation of the game.
