When did you first fall in love with gaming?
Well, that next Christmas, Santa delivered!
That was the beginning of my epic journey into gaming.
You also have a deep passion for music.
Could you share with us how you discovered that music would play such an important role in your life?
I knew from a very early age that music moved me deeply.
What are some of the current limitations with how we currently teach music?
This incredible wealth of experience is almost always overlooked or left out of more traditional learning environments.
At MeloQuest, we believe it is the key to unlocking a persons true musical power!
When did you initially come across the concept of using games to teach music?
We knew the method was powerful, but the product execution was poor.
Could you tell us about the world’s first role-playing game that trains real music skillsKeys & Kingdoms.
Whats the storyline in this game?
It’s really an amazing storyline that Leviathan Games developed.
You start off in your own virtual room much like your room in the real world.
Suddenly, there is a rip through space and time and a portal to another fantasy world emerges.
This world is under constant threat of the waste' and only those with musical powers can save them.
The overarching theme is not good vs. evil, but rather forces of creation vs. forces of destruction.
However, things you neglect and put off will eventually crumble to dust.
How does the game optimize how children learn music?
We have built something very close to AI called the Adaptive Learning Engine.
How much replay value is there in this game.
How much time can children be expected to play?
Well, just like music itself, we hope the journey never really ends.
Personally, I hope children get used to logging in everyday and playing songs to chase away the waste.
New content, songs and challenges are updated every few weeks.
