Can I make a BeatStar open source clone?
I loved BeatStar when it was around and it was a way for me to find new music. When I heard they shut down, I was pretty much bummed out.
I tried the modded BeatStar and love the unlimited play but i really missing getting rewarded and earning stuff and unlocking boxes and stuff. I have been playing Hi Beatz and it scratches some of my itches.
I wanted to make like an open source variant of beat star that does not have any of the monetization of a mobile game. You earn everything by grinding and playing the songs. I have worked out some of the details but not all of them.
What I want to know is if my plan for getting songs will work? I thought of starting with popular royalty free songs and maybe classics. Then when most people have played it and seen that it can work, I can ask maybe artists or others if I can use their songs.
So will that work? What am I allowed to do? I am not putting any monetization or anything at all in the game. I want everything to be completely free
