I will be creating a new rhythm game.

For every beat of the song, a random key present on the currently attached keyboard will appear onscreen, which must be pressed within a certain time window. This will foster emergent gameplay as players scramble to design and fabricate their own single-key keyboard. The track list will consist of Hugues Aufray's "Santiano," all of Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts I-IV, and selected Sacred Harp performances. If the game is successful enough, I may release a DLC featuring additional hit songs, such as Dave Van Ronk's "Luang Prabang," the entire discography of O-Zone, and around twenty-five covers of New Order's "Blue Monday" that I had lying around in my music folder for some reason. I am setting up a Kickstarter and am humbly requesting $500,000 to break ground on this project. Payments may be made through credit or debit card, personal checks, cash, or gold bouillon [sic]. Thoughts?

Noted.

I went and checked which versions I actually have downloaded. I know I have a few more in online playlists, but on hand I could do:

The New Order original

Cover by Orgy

Bluegrass cover by Hayseed Dixie (surprisingly good!)

Cover by Swan Lee, which I think was part of a King Crimson playlist I downloaded

The mashup "Death Grips Blue Monday" by jamesey

Not quite 25, unfortunately.

Hmm. I was really just joking above, but the more I think about it, it seems like it could be a fun project. The biggest problem would be actually distributing it with songs I don't have the rights for (which was why I mostly picked public domain or Creative Commons songs above). I guess I could give instructions for which songs go with which charts and people could place the appropriate files in a folder for it to use, like how streamers get around copyright during movie watch parties.

If I ever get some free time I'll try throwing something together to see if it could work. We need more rhythm games with weird song choices!
