Ask HN: Why does my game suck? Why will it fail, and is there anything I can do?

I&#x27;m a programmer, recently I have been working on implementing video and audio streaming algorithms which inspired a potential idea for a new game. A live EDM music festival simulator.<p>Basically what you have is a screen with hundreds of people all connected with their webcams, at the same time. You can move anywhere on the screen, and chat with other people.<p>There are three music stages playing at the same time in the game.<p>You can see hundreds of people simultaneously dance on their webcams live and chat and meet new people. Which sounds fun to me.<p>DJ stage sets can be pre-recorded, or I can even map live DJ sets.<p>In the app, you can create a friendship bracelet (called Kandi) and give the bracelet to other players. There is a Kandi editor. You can only give 1 Kandi bracelet to each other player, and the goal of the game (or score) is to collect Kandi bracelets.<p>However I have proposed the idea with different groups, and all three groups don&#x27;t really like the idea. They don&#x27;t see it as a game they would use, and do not seem to have any interest.<p>I have already found that because the streamed webcam is small (only 64 by 64 pixels) I can successfully stream 200 webcams simultaneously with no issues in any modern web browser. There are no technical issues, I have successfully implemented using getUserMedia a library which encodes streaming information via WebSocket to my own server which can mix the multi-source camera steam into a multi-destination stream.<p>I&#x27;m wondering is there something I&#x27;m missing why this game idea will fail? Do you have any words of advice or suggestions on what would make this game successful?
