Project Description

This project explores the author's attempts to investigate and design a video game that considers learning about Chinese culture as its primary purpose, while exploring the possibilities of incorporating music and novel and interactive instrument controllers into such a game. The possibility of blending these three elements together to create a special branch of games, and what interesting and thought-provoking ideas might come out of this design process, is what the author wants to explore in this design process. In this paper, we will look at how music and interactive instrument controllers can be integrated into a video game aimed at learning about Chinese culture from the author's attempts to design two prototypes using Unity and Arduino.
