The only source I can give for M is Aaron In Japan. Someone knows who made the song.

It's a moot point, as M isn't related to this except that it has a song that's based off the same song as a song in DTX was.

I stand awaiting this game, as I believe in competition.

However, seeing the list of genres one of the people put out a few pages ago worried me. What I saw was nothing but Bemani micro-genres, no real diversity in the music. Happy HardHouse and Epic Breakbeat, and whatever words you want to slap onto a song mean nothing really because the simple fact remains that they are all dance/electronica. I like ITG (2) because there are dance songs, but then there is jazz/Downtempo (Changes), lounge (D-Code), hip hop(PA Theme), pop(Tough Enough), and even some off-the-wall stuff like Hispanic Panic and Lipstick Kiss.

DT doesn't seem to be a music game per se, more like a "club replicator", with surround sound and the entire track list dedicated to techno (to generalize a bit), I don't know if casual gamers/mall kiddies would appreciate this. I guess since you have the LED lights and flashing stuff though, you'd at least get attention.

Of all the DDR knockoffs (ITG, Dancetrax, Dance Praise), the only one that is really worthy of being a true DDR competitor is ITG. Heck, it's my favorite 4-panel dance game and it even spawned a sequel. Roxor, bring on ITG3! ITG Rules!! Dancetrax and Dance Praise, in my opinion, will cough up smoke and go down.

I've got a question: how will Doubles mode work? Will it require 2 credits like usual or will the setup be more PIU-like? (1 player can play however s/he wants)

I think it's GREAT that you guys are all here answering questions, and I can't wait to see more of this game. I LOVE the ITG series for bringing something new and exciting to the table, and I can't see my opinion of this game being any different, especially if such experienced and enthusiastic people are behind it. Bring it on =)

We were planning on keeping it in the 2x the tokens for doubles. I will ask Paper2Production about the legality of permitting a "Joint Premium" Of sorts, and permit arcade owners to enable it if everything's KOsher.

Originally, I was hesitant about going public any time before we had finalized the game, at least in the promo series. Seeing the community's responce has been helpful, and may actually guide some of the last few details in regards to the game.

This Whole project seems interesting and if it becomes a sucsess I will as the arcade that I work for to get it. But i have a question about the LED's. On DDR machines and ITG machines I love the fact that I can not lift my feet up but instead shift my weight to hit an arrow. Is that possible with this type of set up? because I know a lot of flat foot styles that would be shot if its not.

am i the only person skeptical by all this? hundreds of songs from every genre, new cabinet with sensors using new technology which will require less maintenence and will be more precise, unrevealed but undoubtedly magnificently innovative new in game options, USB support, internet rankings AND a whole team of lawyers who have guarenteed that this machine will be released lawsuit free

and to top it off you're promising this machine will be released at a significantly lower cost then both DDR and ITG

i've been to enough trade shows to have developed a healthy mistrust of anyone who seems to be promising too much for too little. i understand the desire to create a little hype surrounding the game but i dont see how it could be logistically possible for you to deliver everything you have promised in this thread at a reasonable price, especially if you plan to demo this year. and delivering a product short of your projected expectation is a fast way to erode your customers trust

i will keep track of the project and i will be the first person to eat my words and purchase a machine for my arcade if you do deliver everything you promise in this thread but i caution you to carefully evaluate <every> claim about your unfinished product that you're making in this thread and make sure it is something you can reasonably deliver at a reasonable cost
