Looking for people to create a multiplayer UE5 nightclub for live DJ performances.

This is still an idea in it’s infancy and the goal is to create a multiplayer or a meta verse experience with a live mixing DJ, in a virtual club that reacts to some degree to the music.
I had put this idea on hold, until I saw UE for Fortnite and the procedural tools for 5.2.

My background is music and I am personally interested in finding a solution for the licensing costs & legal issues related to live streaming music online.
My 2019 Mac cannot handle the new UE versions and my economy does not allow for a new PC, so I decided instead to reach out and try to team up with more people.

Otherwise, I envision using niagara for audio visualisations, real time geometry script (if possible) to affect the environment with the music, and a club people can simply visit, turn on the music and party in a mind blowing reactive and interactive environment. It would however be much more interesting to see what other people would come up with.

Is this something you would be interested in working on for quiet some time as a hobby project?

I do not see this as a business model at the moment, but an experiment to combine live DJs with video games.

What say you?

FFXIV (that mmo) is full of such clubs, with virtual parties, and some people like it. Or check “second life” if that is still alive. So there is potential in such idea.

I was away for a long time, just got back. I am still interested in this and still insisting on using Fortnite as it is multiplayer ready and already has an audience.
