Anyone interested in creating a sim-like game for managing a musical group? I think i''ve got a pretty solid design for it. Overview: It''s nothing like real life, but I think it would be fun to build up your own band - design their look, pick their instruments, tweek their tone and style parameters and throw them on stages and watch them rock... Of course you can see the possibilities for the management (game) part of the game - getting money, buying better equipment so you can play in better arenas and get more fans... I would wan''t it to have a fun cartoon kind of aspect to it. You could even sort of "compose" your own music, have a very simplified in-game version of Acid that uses loop-based music... Animations would all sync to the beat... Maybe throw in some kind of interface that morphs animations so the users can design their own stage moves... Then you could record your concerts and trade them with other people. I could see a game like this doing really well.

Their was already a game like this... and it failed miserably.

Wasn''t there a game like this called ''Virtuoso''? I remember the name, but not the game...had som pic of a guy with a guitar on the front...

Cool idea, though
