Space Ctrl: Adaptive Music and Solar Waves
This project was born during the 2017 Global Game Jam in Old Jaffa. Given the theme “Waves,” our team developed a space shooter with a twist: the ship’s engine is broken, leaving the pilot drifting at the mercy of volatile solar winds. It’s a game about momentum, survival, and staying calm amidst the chaos.
In addition to providing the sound effects and score, I helped write the C# game code to implement a fully adaptive music system. The audio isn’t just a background loop – it reacts in real time to the speed of the space waves. As the intensity of the environment shifts, the music and soundscape evolve to match the player’s immediate experience.
