Game Development
Galactic Defense
Galactic Defense was developed for part of my PhD Thesis. Galactic Defense implements generative music, and a game emotion model
As a research game, Galactic Defense is designed to be easily approachable and quickly learnable by study participants. Galactic Defense is intended to be about a ~25 minute long experience, providing enough variation in gameplay that we could do research on game emotion and game music perception.
Music
Galactic Defense Linear Score
The linear score for Galactic Defense is created by arranging clips from the adaptive score together, and hand-creating occasional transitions. This score navigates through a variety of emotions over time.
IsoVAT Corpus

The IsoVAT dataset has 90 4-bar clips of music, composed to express a variety of emotions, using a broad range of Western popular styles. The IsoVAT corpus was composed as a research tool, to evaluate the IsoVAT guide.
