Concept

The concept for Music Monsters originated from the basic desire to have MIDI data mapped into a game in a meaningful, innovative, and exciting way. Many different methods of integrating MIDI data, and other aspects of musical composition, were laid out on the table before we decided that having an adaptive creature would be the most interesting and feasible solution.

Throughout the design process, as always, many alterations and time-saving cuts were made to the original game idea. Below is a concept document for Music Monsters that retains many of the original ideas and gameplay facets.
