I have decided to make a music game for my honours project. First of all this is because I love the medium of music, and although I haven't tried my hand at it yet I would like to experiment with music production in the future. As a result I am drawn in by music games especially titles like Bit Trip Runner and Audiosurf which has inspired this project.
Also a music game is a viable title for an indie developer (as opposed to a high concept action adventure, FPS or RPG) so the skills I learn here may even go toward an indie title of my own once I've left uni.
