Basic Game Overview
What the game is about:
The game you will be working on is known as Rhythm Stars. In the game, you are in control of a street dancer whose goal is to create a nightclub empire within the city the game is set in. The core mechanic of the game is the dance battles, where you will be able to challenge and face off NPC & players into dance battles which play to featured music from various artists. As you do this, you will also be able to explore the map of the game and interact with all the NPC’s and items within it, performing missions to gain wealth. Over time, your player will begin to delve into the nightclub business, where you can turn cribs into social hangouts throughout the map in order to get citizens to spend time at your club and bring in money and popularity for you. The game has multiple stories (written by @Dominusbluesteelus) for the majority of the interactable NPC’s, items, and background factors in the game to provide an immersive gameplay experience.
Game Theme
The art style of the game:
The game itself is set within a city themed off a retrofuturistic (both retro and future themed at the same time: think Fallout 4 but before the Great War) version of New York City and the surrounding area. This does not mean it is an exact copy of the city: this simply means it is close in theme and inspiration to it. To be more specific, we plan on implying a 1950s-1990s theme to the city while making it resemble a city from the near future. The game in itself follows a Cel-Shaded (non-photorealistic, think a 3D version of a comic book) style, so the work on colors will be given extra focus compared to other aspects of the map. As for the colors, the game follows a vibrantly variant color theme of a wide variety of shades of colors: however, it more leans onto the cooler side of the spectrum.

Job Overview & Specific Details
- We are hiring a builder to create the map for the game described above.
- As builder you would have to work on a static 2k by 2k studs city area.
- We are expecting the build of the 2k by 2k area build to be done by mid-January of 2018.
- This build will only require the builder to create the exteriors of the buildings, not the interior.
However, in order to reduce the part count, we recommend you use less than 80 parts for every building (however, this can be compromised from time to time).
- Due to the efficiency of the systems, meshparts and CSG are allowed to be used while building.
- A limit will be set for the amount of unique assets the builder will be allowed to use in terms of meshes/textures/unions
This is because of the encouragement to reuse assets to avoid spending too much time loading certain assets into the game. Decal and texture instances will be permitted when creating the buildings.
- You will be provided all the space needed to work, including backup places.
- This game does not make use of outlined surfaces for its parts: therefore, all of the items and buildings will be set to “Smooth No Outlines” (however, the game will have custom outlines on moving, animate objects in order to distinguish them from the inanimate objects in-game).
Communication and Website Usage
There are several different websites and platforms we will be using in order to communicate with each other, as well as organize our tasks and prioritize the jobs of specific individuals.
These websites and platforms include:
- Discord
- Trello
- Google Drive
- Google Documents
Developers and other Co-Workers
Who you will be working with:
For most of the time they are developing, the builder will be working by him-/herself. However, this does not mean that the builder will be creating everything alone.You will also be building alongside me. We have relatively well-sized developer team for Rhythm Stars. Every now and then you will be supervised by myself (the leader).
Alongside this, you will also have access through discord to speak with not only the builders, but also programmers, music creators, UI designers, and narrative specialists to help get reviews on their builds and get info needed to help influence their buildings. The list of some of the developers and other members you will be working alongside are as follows:
- darkhero149: Project Director, Art Director, Map Designer, Music Composer
- SpooksHD: Lead Programmer
- DominusBluesteelus: Lead narrative and dialogue designer
- Modyfyer: Manager, general asset creator, music composer, assistant narrative designer
- Smashduck: UI Designer
- MemeMachne: Animator, 3D Modeler, texture designer
Payment
The builder we pick for the job will receive 100k robux (350 USD in terms of Developer Exchange) for building a 2k stud by 2k stud portion of the map. This means the builder should not expect to receive a percentage of the game’s profits for the build. They will, obviously, receive credit for doing the building, though.
Why Join Us
There are several reasons in which I believe you should join our development team.
After the month and a half long period to complete the 2k by 2k portion of the map is done, you will automatically be able to perform a Developer Exchange for real life money (if you are not already able to DevEx).
Thanks to our use of multiple platforms, we are capable of keeping all of the data and information required for the developers of the game neatly organized and easily findable, allowing us to develop quickly and more efficiently.
We have an experienced team of developers who are able to professionally help you solve any issues you encounter, both in terms of ideas and on Roblox Studio, at a moment’s notice, as well as assist you in generating ideas for buildings and details to add into the map of the game.
