YASD - Yet Another System to Dance

  • FEETNESS, the new dancing game developed by YASD

    29 October 2009, by Elphi

    After months of developement, Feetness, the new dancing game by YASD is finally ready for worldwide distribution !

    This project is the result of a close collaboration with the whole community of french and european players.
    Feetness was tested and all-approved this summer, in southern France campings, by thousands of vacationers.

    The result is here : guaranteed success, with novices as well as experimented players.

    Rythm and dancing games are interactive games requiring the player to coordinate eyes and feet properly. When most of video games are to be played with joysticks or keyboards, Feetness steps into the new era of video games, the one which requires the action of the whole body, and more particularly legs and feet.

    Those new video games are very play, and their success is constantly on the rise. Feetness is one of them !

    Basic principle :

    Feetness is thus a dancing game which is best played with a dance mat. Choregraphies of steps scroll upwards on a screen, and the player has do them on his dance mat. But that’s the very basis; these steps have to be done on the beats of the music. That is where the link with dance comes from, and one really has to dance on the music while following the step sequences in the game.
    In short, move your feet to the rythm of the music !.

    Songs :

    To dance? for sure ! But one won’t dance on any random song ! That’s why Yasd decided to develop choregraphies on popular songs we like to dance on.

    We’ve been surrounded by musicians and experimented dancing-game players in order to create choregraphies fitting best with the music. This gave birth to a Worldtour pack, which really allows us to experience a musical worldtour. Rock, pop, 80’s, disco, latino rythms, techno, classical music, ... All music styles are represented to satisfy everyone.
    Each song includes stepcharts (choregraphies) with 6 difficulty levels. These levels range from 1 to 10 feet.

    Nevertheless, we haven’t forgotten the most skilful players and we have built up a special pack containing original songs exclusively composed for Feetness, the Tounament Pack. Those original songs contain high-quality stepcharts, pushing the difficulty limits one step further.
    Each song contains stepcharts with 6 difficulty levels, ranging from 3 up to 15 feet.

    Beneficial effects :

    Feetness is great exercise. It allows you to lose weight, to increase strength and coordination, bone density, and to keep your mind quick and sharp.

    Feetness’ beneficial effects can be seen at various levels.

    - Combination of game and sport : Feetness allows you to entertain while doing physical exercise. As soon as you climb the difficulty ladder, Feetness becomes a real sport, at the same time keeping its entertaining and motivating aspect.

    - Rythm learning : Feetness serves as an excellent support for dance. With this game, you can really learn rythm or correct your rythm perception. You have to manage the stepchart while staying onbeat with the music. If you go offbeat, the sanction comes right away, and the game tells you that you missed the arrow ! Little by little, you learn to listen to the music and stay on the rythm.

    - physical rehabilitation : Feetness makes the whole low-body work. Thus, it is helpful for people learning again how to walk, increasing leg strength. With Feetness, rehabilitation becomes a play activity, entertaining and motivating. In that case, an adapted equipment is required, with a specific dance mat and support bars.
