TREBL: Flash rhythm game! 7 days to deadline, looking for feedback and more music!

Description TREBL is a flash-based rhythm game I am currently developing as part of my capstone project. The game could be likened to a keyboard analog of Guitar Hero or DDR, and is played using the number keys at the top of the keyboard. Target Aim Free to play. Available on its own site, or from Newgrounds/Kongregate/other popular gaming sites. Compensation For musicians, a shiny picture of your album art and a link to your homepage/myspace/whatever on the song selection menu, as well as a spot on the homepage. For playtesters, a pat on the back and a shot at the high score tables. ;D Technology Flash. NEEDED: Licensed Music First, I'm still looking for any musicians who would be interested in submitting music to be featured in the game. I do not need anyone to write anything special for the game: I'm only looking for a non-exclusive license to use your existing songs in my game. Of course, if you're interested in writing something specifically for the game, you are obviously very, very welcome to do so! :] I have uploaded a fill-in-the-blanks Limited Use License that you can print, sign, then either scan and e-mail or fax to me, once we've talked. :] Music needed: I'm open to all sorts of music, as long as it meets a few simple criteria:

• The music must have a coherent melody to which gameplay "notes" can be assigned.
• If the music features lyrics, they must be appropriate for a collegiate environment (my future employers may be seeing this project, after all).
• The music must be your own original work: not a remix of someone else's copywritten material.

Additionally, I prefer songs that have a stable, consistent tempo (the engine doesn't handle BPM fluctuations very well at the moment), but for exceptionally enthralling pieces, I may be willing to manually adjust to fluctuating rhythms / BPM changes. Those stipulations notwithstanding, I'm really open to anything. Things like dance and rock seem to come naturally with the genre, but I'd also love to experiment with other genres. Folksy blues? Epic cinematic masterpieces? Big band jazz? Quiet sonatas? One of the things I want to emphasize with this game is not just rhythm, but melody. Using 10 keys rather than 4 (DDR) or 5 (Guitar Hero) gives plenty of room for the player to experience wide, sweeping melodies or two-handed feats of rhythmic dexterity. If you've got a song you think would work well, please: let's hear it! NEEDED: Playtesting Secondly, I'm looking for playtesters: especially gamers who are already familiar with other rhythm games (Rock Band / DDR) and anyone who plays a keyboard in real life. At this point in time, I can benefit from any sort of feedback, and don't be afraid to offer your harshest critique: if there are flaws, I'd rather know now than later. Team Structure Me. :] Contact Information If you have music you would like to see featured in the game, there is a magical submission form at: http://www.trebl.com/submitmusic.php And please don't hesitate to contact me at: fex@fex-online.com Or send me a PM here, I check fairly often. I will take a look through your music as soon as I can, and get back to you about which pieces I would like to use. Once you confirm those songs, I'll shoot you a copy of the License, and after you've printed and signed it you can either fax it to me, or scan it and e-mail it back to me. :D Working Demo The working demo is online at: http://www.trebl.com/ Feel free to take a look for yourself! Feedback Bring it on, I'd love to hear what you guys think so far. [Edited by - TheArtifex on April 25, 2009 12:18:26 AM]
