Hello people

I'm working on the idea to be able to play with the lyrics of the great musicians of Newgrounds community. The idea is to play with the letters of the lyrics with the song that belongs to lyric playing in the background. The gameplay style it's a little bit like the style of "WarioWare" or Four Seconds Frenzy in the sense that after each sentence of the lyric completed you will change to a totally different new game than after a line of the sentence completed. But be free to play to the prototype to get a more clear idea:

Play Prototype Newground Lyrics

Logically, it couldn't be as fast and crazy as the "WarioWare", since you must think a little bit about how to reconstruct the sentence, so sorry, but the players will have to use just a little bit of their brain power, it doesn't hurt to use it from time to time.

Actually, there are done 9 mini-games, but I would like to reach the amount of 12 or more games, because I don't want to put a deadline for this project, but I would like to finish it before this September of this year.

About the new mini-games there is no restriction about the style or the gameplay, but don't try to make extremely disgusting games. I would like to share some crazy ideas about possible new mini-games, but you are free to suggest want you want:

SHOOTING ZOMBIES:
The player will move around the screen and zombies with the words will follow the player.

KILLING ORCS:
A knight slashing orcs with the words, maybe on the style of this game

DRIVE OVER PEDESTRIANS:
Driver over pedestrian with the words that wants to cross the road.

VIRTUA COP/TIME CRISIS:
A shooting game, only that you have to shoot the characters that carry the words in order.

BODYGUARD:
Smash the crazy fans that are running to you ( some kind of Whack-A-Mole game)

BURN:
You control a match and you must burn the words that appears like papers blown by the wind.

FIREMAN:
You must put out the fire from the trees that contain the words before they are consumed.

SLAP ON THE CHILDS FACE:
Recentlly, I've played with Rayman Raving Rabbits, and I have loved on mini-game that was about slapping the children that begin to be annoying in the bus. In this case the childs will begin to shout the words of the sentence and you would have to slap them in order.

SAW YOUR BOSS/TEACHER/FAVOURITE DORK:
You control an electric saw and your boss/teacher/dork appear in the middle of the screen. In some parts of his/her body will appear the words of the sentence (a limit of 6 words (HEAD, ARM LEFT, ARM RIGHT, LEG LEFT, LEG RIGHT, CHEST)). You must cut the pieces of the body in order (in the case that the sentence has 6 words, the last word must be always the chest). Mmmm, maybe for me this mini-game is even too much disgusting, but I think that is Newgrounds community who must decide to include it or not. In the worst case instead of a real person it could be a robot or a zombie.

CONDITIONS TO PARTICIPATE

About the people who can participate they must have a BA above 3. For the people interested I will provide all the necessary code to develop an isolated game that can be used in the current game engine.

All the people who participate will be credited for the part that they have done.

I you are interested send me a PM or reply to this post and give me some e-mail address to send you the code.

MONEY, WHERE IS MY FUCKING MONEY!!!!

Finally, the game is only for Newgrounds, so no chance to be sponsored, if there is any price we would know at the end of the month in the "Best Of Month XX" and it would be divided between everybody, at least, we could get money to buy a couple of beers.

They are just micro-games, they are easy to do. In average time, each micro-game one only took me 2 days of work.

I think it could be an interesting idea, just consider that for the fans of the songs it would be a different way to enjoy with the songs they love.

Also there is the possibility to customize the game so the mini-games can appear in the order that the musician wants, controlling in that way a little bit better the gameplay flow.

My last post about this project.

You can show me a little of interest and I will send you some working code of the game, and then you will be free to disappear and use the code for your personal things. Don't worry about me, I'm not going to waste the time following the people, I will be disappointed, but you know that Flash game development is the Fucking Wild West, everybody betrays everybody. It won't be the first time to be betrayed because I tried to know new people to do good stuff and It won't be the last while I'm alive.

It's a really good idea! I think this could turn out to be really good! Shame, I can't help you with it though. I'm busy with a number of projects.. I'll see if I can get some people to help you! How many song lyrics do you have at the moment??

Currently working on 4 Flash projects! =]

Thanks for your support.

In this moment two musicians has contributed with two songs, but the songs and lyrics can be added anytime because they are not included inside the game. The lyrics are in the server, so there is no limit to the amount of available lyrics, the only thing that Newgrounds musicians have to do is to send me the lyrics and the code number of their song and I will be pleased to put it on the server.

About the time, I've no hurry with this project, but I would like to finish it before September or October of this year. I'm also offering the source code of the project to anybody interested. The interested people only have to send me an PM or a mail to contact@freecreationgames.net and I will send them the code.
