Hero's Journey

Mobile 2D music-based runner featuring the music of a New Zealand rock band Capital Theatre

Client

NewZealand, Capital Theatre

Description

A 2D runner game for the New Zealand rock band Capital Theatre. The game features the first two songs from their debut album "A Hero's Journey" - "Fait Accompli" and "People". The development of the game was necessary for the album promotion, so the graphics and music were chosen to match the style of the music videos planned to be released with the new album.

What was the purpose of this project

The main goal of this project was to create a visual accompaniment for a new album by a rock band. In addition to the main video, the client wanted their listeners to immerse themselves in a fantasy world where the main character is running swiftly toward their goal to the rhythm of the music, with everything happening around them moving in sync with the track.

This was intended to evoke the same feeling as listening to your favorite music on headphones and daydreaming about something that matches the musical mood.

Music Visualization

In the project, all levels are designed to match the musical tracks. When the music is calm, the location and biome through which the main character runs are monotonous and match the mood of the music.

As soon as the bridge or chorus begins, the location becomes dynamic and spectacular. For example, the ground might start shaking, meteors might fall, explosions might occur, and other visual effects enhance the musical atmosphere.
