After more than 20 years as musical producer and DJ, Dr. Kucho!, tired of those fake DJs who are dominating the music scene because of the money they use to promote themselves, uses his programming knowledge to create the video game “Ghosts’n DJs” and spread some justice around (in a virtual way).
Inspired on Ghosts’n Goblins, Ghosts’n DJs keeps the feeling of the classic arcades: precise movement, quick action, retro graphics with big pixel, CRT screen simulation… on the other hand, the monsters you have to fight are not retro at all: Devil Gueta, Steve Sushi, Paris Sheraton, Pauly Douchebag and Pitbullshit. To defeat these evil creatures you count on physical music supports such as vinyls, CDRom, pen drives and tapes as weapons.
The mechanics of the game are simple: a 2D retro shoot ’em up side scroller mixed with humoristic cinematic clips mostly to criticize the current EDM (Electronic dance music) scene.
To feel the game action properly, Dr. Kucho! made a single orchestral track to play in the first two levels for now, as the video game still in progress. Each level will have it’s own dedicated music but is still not decided if they are going to be orchestral or retro synths made. The sound effects although, are already being carefully produced. Sound FX is a very important part of the game action feel, that is why the sounds are 100% retro.
“Ghosts’n DJs” was launched on Kickstarter crowdfunding platform the 16th October, the same day of the Madrid Games Week fair public release and where this video game won the second prize as Best Indie Game voted by the audience.
The funding period for this project ends in the early morning (GMT) on December 1, 2014.
