If you listened to the latest podcast, you know that I've been mulling over how to approach solidifying the level design for GuitaRPG. Here's a short list of all the elements I've been tossing around...

Enemies

How they move
How they attack
How the represent music
How music is made through their interaction with the player

Player

How to have 4 players without them crowding each other
How the player moves considering the limitation of the Guitar Hero controller
Coordinating moving/music/and attacking

HUD

power meters
combo meters
roulettes
and other notifications

RPG stuff

Turned based/Real time
Random Battles
world map/dungeon map/battle area

Grandia's Battle system
Crystal Chronicles
Dragon Quest Swords
