Marching Band Simulator is a 3D single-player sandbox game where players can customize their own marching band routines. To create performances, players arrange the members of their marching band on the field using a keyframe system and timeline, allowing for frame-by-frame editing to make elaborate formations. A large amount of freedom is given to the player to customize their band, allowing them to choose their band’s uniforms, color palettes, instruments, and music. The goal of this project was to make a game that was fun and imaginative, giving the player a flexible creative environment. This report illustrates the production process of Marching Band Simulator, and details the core elements of the game’s design, tech, visual art, audio, and playtesting procedure and analysis.
