XSEED Games and ACQUIRE Host Fan Music Contest for Upcoming Music Strategy Hybrid - Orgarhythm
September 4, in the year of our Lord 2012 -
Calling all musicians! XSEED Games and ACQUIRE are hosting a fan
music contest for the upcoming music strategy title, Orgarhythm.
The contest will give fans and aspiring musicians the
opportunity to have their own original tracks featured as part
of a free downloadable add-on to the game after it ships later
this year on the PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system.
Orgarhythm is currently under development in Japan by ACQUIRE in
conjunction with Neilo, the new studio founded by Takashi Hirai
who is best known for his past work on Space Channel 5 and Rez.
Fans can submit their tracks from today to October 1st by
posting their submissions to YouTube and submitting the link at
the official contest website
http://100.orgarhythm.jp/world. Submissions can be of three
lengths: one minute, three minutes, or 4.5 minutes. Music must
be the applicants’ own original work. The submission page can
also be found from within Orgarhythm’s newly launched product
page at
www.orgarhythm.com.
Up to 100 winning submissions will be added to Orgarhythm as
background music and distributed as DLC post-launch.
Furthermore, winners will also receive a code to download a full
copy of Orgarhythm via the PlayStation®Network. XSEED Games will
begin confirming winners in October 2012.
Orgarhythm is a unique title that combines the strategic
elements of an RTS game with the speed and coordination of a
music rhythm game. Troops, formations, and temporary
enhancements are each assigned through rhythmic button presses
on the PS®Vita Touchscreen, which level-up your characters when
performed successfully, and level them down when presses are
mistimed. Playing as the god of light, players will battle the
forces of the god of darkness by guiding elemental soldiers and
issuing rhythm-based attacks synced to a hypnotic mix of rock,
club, and tribal music. In the game, rhythm is a weapon and
different attacks occur on different beats, making the game’s
catchy soundtrack dynamic to user input.
XSEED Games will publish Orgarhythm exclusively on the
PlayStation®Store on PS Vita system in North America later this
fall – look for more updates in the coming weeks.
