Chime is a sort of music based game in which players must place shapes on a grid to make music. A beat line moves across the grid in time, setting off events when it comes in contact with the shapes placed by players. The game will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade soon.
Now OneBigGame, a non-profit publisher of videogames, has revealed the final music artist line-up for the puzzle music game Chime. OneBigGame currently has over 15 games in development, and Zoë Mode is the just first among the developers and designers working on games for the charity publisher.
“We are very excited to work with such a diverse line-up of musicians and tracks and are extremely grateful to these artists for their pro bono contributions,” commented Martin de Ronde, director, OneBigGame. “Having world-class acts linked to Chime raises its profile even further, and is a great example of the collaborative nature of the entire OneBigGame charity initiative.”
“We’re thrilled that these great artists have donated their music to Chime and shown such enthusiasm for the game and the OneBigGame project” Ciaran Walsh, Audio Director at Zoë Mode stated. “We’ve worked hard to do justice to their music, turning each track into a unique level with musical depth and great gameplay.”
The innovative game mechanics of Chime allow gamers to create unique mixes each time they play a level. Chime’s full artist line-up and track list is as follows:
-
Brazil – Philip Glass.
Spilled Cranberries – Markus Schulz.
Ooh Yeah – Moby.
For Silence – Paul Hartnoll (Orbital).
Disco Ghosts – Fred Deakin (Lemon Jelly).
Chime is expected to be available this winter on the Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360 console.
