Knight Chord is a game with a heavy focus on music, music is as some claim “the extension of human emotion”, music has a large effect on our lives, and it usually goes unnoticed, the speed and key a song is in changes your emotion to suit and so I think it would be important for a game based around music to share this important emotional connection not just to the character but the player as well.

Knightchord was designed in 2 parts. Part one involved me creating a GDD (Game Design Document) based off a topic of my own choosing, that being adaptive music and a Japanese European fusion. The second part involved a larger team of people using that GDD to continue the development and turn it into a functional game.

My role on this was the concepting and designing of the GDD that acted as the base for the rest of the development, therefor it was important for me to make sure the GDD was easy to navigate and used both text and images to effectively relay information. Unfortunately as I was not in control of the final project I do not have access the the final game.
