of Draw Dance Battle: Art, and Competation Research of the Game Phenomenon

Introduction

Gaming the SpectrumIf you’re a yard rocker in any definition of the word, this is good news you might not even realize is good news: On the scale (spectrum, that is) of the best-slash-most-pleasurable art-nerd/competition-minded genres, the last several years have seen an uptick. INTRO Joins the best work of the software called the draw with interests and rhythm and beat of dance! This essay on Draw Dance Battle reflects on a number of its dimensions – as technical play and art, as a cultural object and balance of educational virtues and vices, and as the project finds a new life online and attempts to extend its method and mobilisation out to the wider community as we do what we can from read isolation or from within neighbourhood quarantine.

Interactive game and part-whole meditation

The idea of the game is to draw on the floor and dance on the rhythm! You get to flick the pictures off screen, and the game is going to draw the “dance moves” onto the screen, in the sort of childlike, market-thick lines which the cursor is made of, and the game is then going to bring these to life, tiny stick men dancing in time with the song. And not only would this involve some artsy technique in its own right, it would also take some measure of rhythm on its part — it’s considerably easier for a player to fall out of time hitting the beat than it is to find his way into time with it. Players unlock new styles of music, dance moves and drawing tools as they go, so difficulty escalates with a high replay value. They're mechanics that lead to creativity and players can excersise their creative muscles by playtesting against one another in a low-pressure zone.

Art and Culture and Living in the Future Juice

A highlight of “Draw Dance Battle” is Technology Art. Depending on a player’s interpretation, the digital art can also range from abstract to photo-realist and the AI will be able to look at player input and process it, and to have the dance shows be fun and realistic to view. The online community where they share their work also kindles a debate about how these digital creations intersect with the traditional art of sketching. It’s a technological gumbo that wants to turn the everyday on its ear, the make-making the making, and hand players some new big toys to jam together and tease apart and make crap with.

Dance and visual art are the world's only two more or less universal languages that bridge all boundaries of culture for men of all nationalities. “Draw Dance Battle” (drawing a line under the D and a stretch to make it read Drawn — you get Drawn Dance Battle) adds to that rich history, with everyday folks getting to show off what they’re made of in a sketching and dancing competition. And hip hop and classical are just a few of the sponsors — means the game is a bit more inclusive, but still celebrating the universal, international language that is art. These days, in the world hand in hand The draw only line battle Challenge Life with thanks to enjoy the dance battle is the free mind to recognize multiculturalism, unity and free and open-minded community in the creativity.

Potential and Criteria

Last but not least: the possibilities are endless for learning and growing-as far as my two cents go add “Draw Dance Battle’ and similar games would be a blast for teaching people about full spectrum cognitive thinking-from eye hand coordination right up to a time-frame, creativity, while giving teachers a powerful medium to incorporate cultural art and music into their programs at the same time. Furthermore (and detailing Milton Bradley’s plans), there is the idea of fair play being incorporated with the game, which is as necessary in the schoolroom as it is in actual life. And it’s also the case that all that creative art seems to bring out the best in all the above — whether or not those players are yukking it up as they draw circles around one another. The Forums and player created content really takes the playing experience to a whole new level. users argue “how learned is that, and the form artists emulate; and also underline how damn much the game is more than just a fun thing to do but instead has become a cultural evolutionary point.”

Design of Future Games

Draw Dance Battle is a proof of concept for the type of games it might inspire to follow in its stylish, artful footsteps: a discipline of the artful mind it mixes the structure and constraint of an artful discipline with the competitive thrills of a game. With the games industry growing the way it is and with this converging of media with interactive, I would certainly expect more conversation around it. There will be a market for games that are still genuinely new, artistic experiences and you’ll see game developers see how well something like Draw Dance Battle does and iterate that model in ways that meld art, music and game play far more effectively and organically. But it is not just a testament to the madness of the market ending here of course, as it also helps solidify the idea that games too, can be a valuable medium for expression.

Challenges and Considerations

But “Draw Dance Battle” has its own limits, as an original idea. And what if you're on the artistic freedom side without tripping on the game design. It can also become subject to what you call feature bloat, in that you slap features on top of it, which just doesn’t have anything that looks like a core dense tight core of …I don’t know what.
