Hey there! I'm the composer and sound designer of our studio and I learned to develop in order to make my solo album playable as a game!


An album playable as a game

Here is the trailer of the prototype. I'm planning to work on the project for a bit less than a year and I've been working on it for six months.

My objective is to make an electronic music album playable as a game. I mean, there is so much to do for interactive music that I think the futur of music is somewhere near the gaming universe. Even in games, music has evolved a lot, but is always submitted to game design and dev and never the inverse!

So I aim to develop things in another way: the music guides the dev in a serendipity way.

Manifesto

I also wrote a manifesto for my artistic will. Here it is:

  • Push the Boundaries of the Way we Play/Listen to Music: a technical and artistic approach to interactive music.

  • Automatic Writing and Serendipity: a surreal way of composing the story and developing the game content with serendipity.

  • Minimalistic Gameplay: give more space for contemplation of abstract visuals and even more attention to the musical and sonic elements of the game, that are the main focus of the project.

  • Minimalistic Systems and UI: more immersion for the player. No complexity, immediate onboarding.

  • Synaesthesia: attempt to make a world that lives according to music and visual connections.

  • Focus on Experimental Art and Trippy Mood: I wish to experiment on both the technical art and the interactive music system in order to push the boundaries of abstract and artistic games.

  • Diversity in Electronic Music Genres: as I always done in my musical career.

  • This Game is an Instrument as Much as it is an Art Piece: give the opportunity to the player to play the game as an album or live show during a party or whatever.

  • Use a Limited Range of Instruments: especially those that I'm testing for audio developers friends and a few others that I really need for the overall quality of the music.

Meanwhile

There are a whole lot of things to manage meanwhile not dev related, like trying to find some funding, make marketing, talk to publishers and above all, find a community of people interested by the project!
I think Game Jolt is a great place to post artistic and less gameplay related games. At least, I'll see if this project interests you!
Tell me what you think and very soon I'll create a page for the project.

Thanks!
