Mobile rhythm game with Christian music, unique dances, and body-tracking tech.

Story

Welcome to “Christ Bop: Dance”, a revolutionary mobile rhythm/console game designed specifically for a Christian audience. Our game combines the joy of dance with music that glorifies Jesus Christ, filling a significant gap in the gaming market. With your support, we aim to launch this unique game by summer 2025, offering an engaging and spiritually uplifting experience for players worldwide.

Why “Christ Bop: Dance” Stands Out:

  1. Christian-Focused Music: Unlike mainstream dance games, “Christ Bop: Dance” features exclusively Christian music. We’ve partnered with indie Christian artists and plan to secure licenses from well-known Christian musicians as the game gains popularity.
  2. Mobile Accessibility: Our game is designed for mobile platforms, making it accessible to a wider audience. It includes innovative touch-screen interactions and body-tracking technology to ensure players perform dance moves correctly. In the future, we plan to make “Christ Bop: Dance” available for console and VR devices. 
  3. Inclusive Gameplay: We offer both single and multiplayer modes (online or off-line), allowing players to dance solo or compete with friends. Multiplayer sessions can be hosted on one device, with others joining via a code for synchronized gameplay.

Features and Development:

  • Song Library: Launching with ~15-20 unique songs, each with its own choreography. Regular updates will introduce new music bi-monthly or quarterly.
  • Character and Location Variety: ~5-8 different characters and locations to enhance the gaming experience.
  • Achievements and Rewards: Players can earn achievements and rewards, encouraging continued play and engagement.
  • Customization: Extensive customization options for avatars, dance emotes, backgrounds, and more.
  • Monetization: In-game currency, purchasable through microtransactions, and an in-game shop for exclusive items.

Team and Budget Breakdown:

To bring “Christ Bop: Dance” to life, we need a talented and dedicated team. Here’s a breakdown of the key teams and estimated costs:

  1. Development Team (~$400,000)
    • Front End Developers: Responsible for UI/UX design, animation integration, and implementing game functionality.
    • Backend Developers: Managing databases, multiplayer functionality, server costs and content management systems.
    • Admin Panel Developers: Creating a web-based interface for game administrators.
  2. Creative Team (~$300,000)
    • Choreographers: Designing unique dance routines for each song.
    • Christian Artists and Musicians: Licensing music and collaborating on new tracks.
    • Graphic Designers: Creating character designs, environments, and UI elements.
  3. Technical Team (~$200,000)
    • Gesture Recognition Specialists: Ensuring accurate movement detection using mobile device sensors via camera.
    • VFX and SFX Artists: Enhancing the visual and audio experience of the game.
  4. Marketing and Operations ($100,000)
    • Marketing Specialists: Promoting the game through various channels to reach a wide audience.
    • Customer Support: Providing assistance to players and managing community engagement.

Risks and Challenges:

  1. Music Licensing: Securing rights to use songs from well-known Christian artists could be challenging and may require additional funding or negotiations.
  2. Technical Integration: Ensuring smooth and accurate body-tracking on mobile devices is technically complex and may require extensive testing and optimization.
  3. Market Penetration: Reaching and engaging our target audience in a competitive gaming market will require effective marketing strategies and continuous content updates.
  4. Development Delays: Coordinating between various teams and managing the production timeline can be challenging, potentially leading to delays in the launch.

Conclusion:

With your support, “Dance for Jesus” can become a groundbreaking game that not only entertains but also enriches the spiritual lives of its players.
