Hey there!

Temptation Project
For the last big project (called Temptation) of the study year, we are making an interactive installation for Kaj's Guitarstore in Enschede. The purpose of this installation is to tempt passers by to come to the store.
Our installation
Our installation is called 'ROCK WARS' and is all about guitar
legends battling eachother with guitars. Imagine Jimi Hendrix and
Slash attacking eachother with their guitars!
When you arrive at
Kaj's Guitarstore, you will see a 'rock battlefield': Burning
amplifiers and smashed guitars. In one of the amplifiers there is a
screen, on which the Rock War Battle will be played. Pick up one of
the guitar controllers (real guitars!!) to play the game. Choose a
guitar hero you want to play, and choose a song you want to battle to.
You can play against the computer or challenge someone!

The Game
To play the game, you have to use the controller to hit the right notes. If you play a certain amount of notes correct, you will get combos. The more combos you get, the stronger your attacks will be! When you want to use your attack on your opponent, you step on the guitar pedal on the ground. If you miss a note, it will do damage on your own health.
The Characters
In our game, the player will have the opportunity to choose one of 6 guitar legends, that each represent a different type of rock music (like bluesrock, rocknroll, metal) These will be:
- Jimi Hendrix
- Slash (Guns 'n roses)
- Angus Young (AC/DC)
- Chuck Berry
- Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
- Kerry King (Slayer)
These characters will each have their very own special types of attack (think LSD trip, strangled by snakes, or struck by lightning).
WHY DO WE NEED YOUR HELP?
To make this installation as awesome and cool-looking as possible we need to buy (and have already bought) a lot of materials like wood, leather, guitars,paint, tools, speakers and led strips. Then we also have to print things like the design document, posters, user manuals and awesome flyers to give to everyone! We also want to design cool buttons/pins that you win when you win the game!
We want to try to cover the money we already spent on the project, and the money we still have to spend to make it awesome. We have already spent a lot of our own money on this project, but we are just poor students :'( and since we have to focus mainly on this big project, none of use has the time to work extra.
Despite this, we put our heart and soul into this installation and want to make it as cool as possible!
That's why we are asking for your help!
If many people help even with a little money, we can come a long way! Every euro counts for us!
So what's in it for me, you are thinking?
Well, offcourse you are more then welcome to come visit the exhibition of our installation in Enschede, in the week of July 9th.
But for the people who help us, we want to give a little bit more.
We are making buttons of the characters we use in the game, that you can win if you win the game. The people who help us with funding this project will, ofcourse, get a free awesome button of choice!
Apart from the materials gains, with helping us, you are funding young international creatives and you will be helping us a lot with our futures in the creative industry! And that's already a wonderfull thing :)
Thank you for your concern, and KEEP ON ROCKING!! :D
