Neon Pirates? Been there done that.

As the title may or may not suggest, i have decided to ditch the pirate theme and go with something a bit more original, as i felt pirates were just too damn standard.
I actually had a pretty big creative rush today covering game mechanics, themes and ideas. Now comes the hard part of writing them down.

Basically, from the basic notes a few posts back, i thought over the aspect of a dance beat-em up and how its been done before but on old-gen consoles. And to be quite honest, they had potential.... but were either slow or just lacking in depth.

"Something associated with music and destruction, similar to:
Space Channel 5
P.N.03"

It was with this interest in creating something different to our now standard craze of high realism FPS's that i decided against the neon pirate theme. Thinking back on it now it just seems cliché and dull, so i thought about what kind of character would dance and fight or even fight with dance.

The most obvious thing that came to mind for me was street dancers and bike gangs, and for the neon part, mix neon with tattoo's and you have a pretty sweet futuristic themed concept.... One that's dark and grimy, lit by colourful neon tattoos that blur and leave trails as fights take place.
