About

Crescendo Encore is continuing the work done by Crescendo. Last semester, Crescendo created a classical music game geared for families that encourages cooperation, brings people together and gives players the feeling of playing real instruments. We are working with SmileGate, a Korean game developer.Smilegate has given us two major directives this semester. Whereas the game created by Crescendo was playable only for the PC, SmileGate’s first directive is to explore the possibilities of making the game playable on different consoles. SmileGate and Crescendo Encore have agreed to move forward with Xbox Live Indie Games as a platform. SmileGate’s second directive is to build upon the existing framework and enhance the game with better feedback, better hardware and a better UI, all the while leveraging our industry contacts to create a great experience. The goal of the project is thus to deliver to SmileGate a game built upon the game created by Crescendo that can be played on the Xbox360.
