Note: We?re in dire need of more composers, as I (AeroForce22) am the only one we have so far. We?re also looking for anyone who?s good with sackbot animations. Since this is a partial dance game, these two jobs are extremely important. Examples of your work must be provided in the application (or you can mention that you have it on your moon, unpublished, and we?ll check it out). Dance RPG Who?s ready to roleplay dance? tl;dr Version Basically we're taking RPG elements, and turning encounters/battles into a rhythm dance game. It will include tons of awesome features, including dance pad compatibility, and the premise of the story is collecting leaders of other dance crews to build your own to win some sort of competition. Now if you're hooked, feel free to read the actual thread. xD Background To The Idea The idea for an RPG based around dancing is quite random, is it not? Randomness can lead to some of the best ideas and that?s where this fantastic idea came from. While chatting on MSN about RockSauron and co?s upcoming RPG (Chains of Time), someone mentioned dancing for some reason, and thus, it was born. Dance RPG. Ready to kick butt in the RPG and rhythm genres at the same time? You better be! Game Mechanics Dance RPG takes the mechanics of a traditional RPG and merge it with that of a rhythm game, more specifically, Dance Dance Revolution. By merging these two genres, we have created what we will refer to as ?Dance RPG? until we can come up with a unique, and probably pun filled, name. More specifics on the mechanics will come at a later date as we?re still trying to figure out everything we?re going to include in this one of a kind project. But for now, we?ll mention and explain some of the basic, essentially guaranteed ideas that we?ve thought through so far. Membership Card - The Membership Card is a special access card that you obtain after defeating the second of 10 groups. Each time you finish battling another set of 2 groups, the Membership Card will be upgraded to a higher level. The card maxes out at level 5, due to simple math, and the names of these access levels will be decided upon at a later date. The Membership Card will help gain access to certain areas in the ?Club? mode which is explained later in this post. Inventory - Naturally, an RPG needs and inventory, and we?re not skimping on the basics. The inventory will stash all necessary items to advance in the story. What these items will be, we?re not sure of yet. Dance Pad Compatibility - Yes, we?ll make it so that if you happen to have a PlayStation 3 DDR Dance Pad, it will work with this game. I?m not entirely sure which buttons correspond with which buttons on the controller, so any information on this would be nice. Game Modes Dance RPG will feature three different game modes, all accessible from a HUB menu level. The three game modes are as follows. Campaign/Story Mode - The story of the RPG is presented in this section. Load levels with a world map and key/password system. We?re not entirely sure which one it will be yet. There will be 11 levels. Each level will feature one dance crew that you must battle and obtain their leader to expand your own dance crew. The leaders of these crews will function as ?boss battles?, and as such, will be much harder than the subordinate members. Team battles will take place occasionally, especially after you begin expanding your team. The final level will be the dance competition that you?ve been working toward the entire game and will be the toughest dance challenge yet. It shall be the most epic of epic dance battles. Versus Mode - Versus Mode is standard in any rhythm dance game, and so we?ve decided including one would be a good idea. Pair up with some buddies either through the internet or in your own living room and duke it out in brutal dance battles. Choose songs that will be updated occasionally with a optimized menu, choose dance arenas, and choose either your own character, or characters from the story. It's all up to you. Club Mode - Club Mode is a unique mode that will be updated weekly (most likely) with new songs and dance crews to dance to and battle. This level will not be permanent and will be deleted and republished weekly with a new dance crew and song to try out. The reason for the republishing and deleting is so that the scoreboard resets. We will be tracking the top dancer (or top 5) and award them with access to the Special Person Room Of Incredible Awesomeness (or SPROIA for short). We?re not sure yet. There will be special rooms you can access in this Club via your Membership Card, and increasing the level of the card will gain access to more exclusive rooms and content. You?ll have a higher chance of reaching #1 if you have a fully upgraded card, as you can battle more dance crews and play more songs in one go. Application Form PSN ID: lbp.me Link: Other Qualifications: This field only goes so far, and this is where you can mention specific rewards (i.e. Mm Picks; legitimate employment; ect.). However, what will mostly be taken into account is what we can see from your lbp.me account. Requested Position: Just mention what job you wish to fulfill. Any job name works. Just as long as we can get the general idea of what you want to be doing for this project (i.e. Sackbot animation, composing music). Microphone or Keyboard: Having either will not increase chances or not having either will not decrease your chances of getting hired. We?re just curious, and knowing if you have either will lead to further communication discussion when hired. Keyboards are preferred however as mics don't always have the best of quality.

Feel friend to shoot me a friend request and perhaps I could see any other stuff you don't have published? So you're a tattoo artist, eh? I wonder how that translates into LBP. :3 I'm excited to see how artistic you can get in this game with those skills.

Oddly enough, I just saw this article O-o What a coincidence XD http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/08/the-joystiq-indie-pitch-sequence/

Well I can't help out too much. But I might be able to help out with various Logic and Music related things. Mainly music. My qualifications : Musician Nothing to link though, all my music is on my laptop. Still need to have a play around with LBP2s music thing, had a quick look, it's basically like a less-professional (In the sense of all the mixing, effects, etc.) version of cubase, or any other sequencers, for that matter. But yeah, I'll help out if I have time.

Oddly enough, I just saw this article O-o What a coincidence XD http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/08/the-joystiq-indie-pitch-sequence/ ;o; Why? We're still unique though. :3 Anyway. To all of you who have applied: I will be conversing with the current team about who should be accepted, and why, and who won't be, and why. I'll give detailed reasoning as well, so if you're denied it won't simply be a "no". I'll do my best to provide constructive criticism. :3

I have PMed all applicants with the teams verdict, and thus it shall be. A lot of you have posted that you have talents, but left no evidence to show me. Words can only go so far, and I have to see your talent in-game for proper judgment. This was mentioned in the PMs to all of you who had done this, and until you provide proof, I can't say much about you. >.< On a side note, I'll be updating the first post, and to relate to this post a bit more, I will be expanding the application form, as well as mention what talents we're looking for. The main ones that come to mind are music composers (which I can do myself, but I'm composing music for a few other projects), and sackbot animators (as we'll need to have cool looking dance moves, no?). Logic geeks aren't need as much, as Clay and I have essentially figured out how the dance mechanics will work, and we're both part of a legitimate RPG, so RPG mechanics will end up being a no brainer. Also, the first post will include more background info, what features we have planned so far, but no story yet as we're currently working on that. :x LBP3 is a really terrible and cliche idea and we want to trash that ASAP. xD

OP has received a mega overhaul, and a bunch of awesome sexiness.

Just a heads up, we're currently working on a mechanic demo, and we also have an announcement now at the top of the first post which reads: Note: We?re in dire need of more composers, as I (AeroForce22) am the only one we have so far. We?re also looking for anyone who?s good with sackbot animations. Since this is a partial dance game, these two jobs are extremely important.

I read this thread when it first came out, thinking it was an awesome idea, but I never posted haha. I can't create for crap, but I'll be happy to test plus I dance so if you need any pointers, i got you PSN ID: Fireball2868 lbp.me Link: http://lbp.me/u/fireball2868 Other Qualifications: um, idk really Requested Position: again, doesn't really matter. I'm honestly not a great creator, but I would help with any dialogue/dance move ideas/dance tips that you need, haha Microphone or Keyboard: neither

;o; Why? We're still unique though. :3 Anyway. Indeed. = D This is the developer of said indie game (Sequence), and man, go for it. Your idea differs in several significant areas from my own, and as a big LBP fan, I look forward to seeing what you guys can do. = D

Hello there, to be honest it's a great idea the dance rpg thing.. and i'm kinda interested in being recruited i guess? always wanted to work on a project with a team :|. aah and i also am a newbie to create. Anyway if i do get hired, i'll be doing my best. Oh and that lbp.me link it is right there above my pic :3, for the published level. it is my first level to be published and i admit that it does suck and lack of creativity. But i do have a level that is unfinished in my moon and i think it had some great scenery. i will show you if you want to.. and i don't have that logic thingy skills .. :| PsN ID : Black_ChriS- Other Qualifications : Nothing really. i am just interested on doing some project and doing a great job on it (that is what i hope). Ah, and i may have to say first that i only have a 2mbps connection because it is the highest speed for my internet in my area in indonesia (and i am really sorry that this disturb you guys.., i really wish that there is a better connection here :|) Requested position : i can do some scenery stuff , and maybe give you guys some ideas 'bout the story maybe? or maybe give opinions. Mic or Keyboard : neither. ahh.. and thank you for reading -Black Chris-

Wow, this sounds awesome. It reminds me a lot of Zubo (a NDS game that was awesome but largely ignored) in that it's an RPG based around dancing, and it sees your team attempting to win against other teams. Either way, I love the concept. I won't sign up as I'm probably not good enough, mind.

WHAT! XD well the concept is Extremlysupermega Unique and funny XD but i look foward to this, it sounds like something fun Ill keep on eye on this guys. *twitching* I can maybe make music, but it will all be dreary, so if you're going for dreary that's what I've got. I can aslo make a menu, so maybe fill the role of a logician. (Hmmm... I sound like a noob, better do something impressive to break the ice.) I don't have much to showcase any of this, only one LBP2 level. I should have another one up soon to show off my menu, you can find my PSN at thecatreturns123 If I can help, I will. Always wanted to do some collaborative building.
