Help Wanted > I need a programmer for a fighting game...screenshot within

Hi I did up a mockup of a gameboy game I would like to try to make a demo with a programmer. The concept is this.

BATTLE OF THE BANDS

Genre: Fighting
Platform: Game boy advance
Target demographic: Male/Female 10-35 (this should appeal to the older generation too)
High Concept: Street fighter 2 meets rock n roll

You control musicians from famous bands such as Guns n roses, ACDC, Metallica, Ozzy, Kiss and many more. You are fighting for the title of most hardcore rock band.

Select your character and work your way through the various bands home town stages example GnR - Los Angeles. Until you reach the all time greats such as ozzy ozbourn, mick jagger, bono, or steve tyler.

The various bands would all have moves reflecting there personality. Special moves useable when your fanomeeter is filled will be moves based on the bands hit songs. Example - ACDC - thunderstruck or hells bells. The fanometer goes up the more you build combos and appeal to the fans in the audience.

Play control is very reminiscent of street fighter 2.

Art style is again much like street fighter 2 and many of the old fighting games of the 90s.

Music is pure rock from the 80s and 90s. The stages for each band would have one of there hit songs playing excluding lyrics.

this is what the graphics would look like. I would actually like to just focus on one level at the moment and have 2 ppl fighting as a demo. I pretty much already have the background done and I have the look of the fighters all I need is animations etc. and a programmer.

Music would have to be midi and there are plenty of midi rock songs out there such as http://209.197.86.65/20041007/rock/gunsnroses/You_Could_Be_Mine.mid

Cute idea. Violates about a billion copyrights, and it'll be a cold day in hell before you're ever able to sell it to anyone, but it still looks like fun. Good luck with it.

Yeah I know it would be impossible to sell but isn't all home brew gba games lol damn nintendo. This is more for a portfolio and yeah it would be really fun to do...The demo would be free to dwnld because obviously it would be illegal.

Thanks for the reply dan
