Guitar Idol

Timeline: 2009 to 2010

Platform: Mega Drive / Genesis

The Game: The only-ever guitar game for the SEGA Genesis, launched in 2009/2010 by Tectoy in Brazil, bundled in the Mega Drive 4 incarnation. Designed and developed by a small team of 4 at Interama, I created the initial concept and helped sell the project to TecToy. This incarnation of the console went on to sell a lot better than its predecessor, the 2008 Mega Drive 3.

Guitar Idol is a musical game developed by Interama and published by Tec Toy for the Mega Drive (Sega Genesis based) console. The game cames with a guitar joystick and has 60 songs with Brazilian artists and world known bands like Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Ramones, CPM22, NX Zero, Raimundos and many others.

My Contributions:

• Business development close to Tectoy;
• Initial game design;
• Production proposal and budgeting;
• Review and QA of the product.
