On this project, I was a lead programmer and producer in a team of seven people. Our main goal with this project was combining mechanics from rhythm games such as Guitar Hero with something similar to Pokémon while still teaching about classic musicians.

The games core loop revolves around entering 'combat' with an enemy musician where you dual off by picking moves that determine how hard the song is, and then based on how well you did and the difficulty of selected song it will deal damage back to the enemy musician.

One particularly interesting mechanic that I am quite proud of is the system that takes a song file and converts it to a beat map which not only sped up development by cutting out the beat map creation for each combat move, but also allows the user to upload their own music and create custom attacking moves for their characters.
