Methodology / Approach

The philosophy at the forefront of development was pushing a surreal artistic and musical aesthetic. Team members wanted the opportunity to gain skills to take with them into their own projects. The game was originally meant to be a rhythm game, but we felt the bullet hell genre gave a greater opportunity to implement a variety of ideas. Music and rhythm remained an important component, and all sound effects were made to be "musical" or play on beats of the song. The implementation of that was done through the FMOD audio engine. All graphics and sound/music were created from scratch for the project - no outside assets or resources were used.
