Description

The Light is a game in which players move their hands to control mirrors and change directions of light beams in a virtual space. There is a board with light sensors, and the shadows will form mirrors that reflect light beams, and the goal of the game is to reflect the light beam to a certain point. Arduino was used to sense the shadows and Processing was used to create the “virtual space”.

First of all, this is a web-based soundscape.

This project was inspired by the rhythm game Cytus II, and the images came from this game as well. The story of the game happens in a future cyberpunk world where music is a common interest of all human. Node 8 is the name of a city in the game. My goal is to create a soundscape of someone (the user) visiting a house in the city ruins. The user can click on objects in the house to hear sounds and how the sounds interact with the environment. The overall experience should be poetic. However, by looking for an easter egg in the project, you might be able to understand the story behind.

All the sounds and background music are from Adobe sample pack or recorded by me. Another piece of music in the project is “Used to be” composed by KIVA. All of these sounds and music have been through postproduction. For the background music, I put together four ambient music pieces and several glitchy electronic sounds from Adobe sample pack. I also added filters on “Used to be” to make it sound a little distorted. As for the rest of the sounds, a little reverb would do the job.

Untitled Rhythm Game

A simple and fun rhythm game.

Description

This is a rhythm game created in Processing and can be played with four keys on a computer. It's my first attempt to create a computer game so it only has one half piece of music and the codes are messy. However, I still managed to realize as many rhythm game features as possible. For example, there are hit sounds and hit indications, combo number, score, grades, and the game reads the chart from a txt file. I will possibly continue this project in the future and eventually make it a mobile game for everyone to play.
