MokMok: Play with Music
The MokMok project started with a dream: Making music should be as easy and fun as playing a game. A music album should be an immersive journey, in which you could experience and create funky music casually. We dreamt of a new hybrid of instrument and game, which lets you Play with Music.
The result is MokMok - A Music Adventure Game. In MokMok you are a visitor on an ancient alien world. This bizarre place is inhabited by Mok’s - living musical instruments. During the games journey you’ll discover and collect many different Mok’s, learn to play music with them, perform mystical rituals and uncover the secrets of MokMok. Watch the Trailer:
Meet the Moks
Mok’s are creatures that love to make music. Each Mok plays a unique sound pattern and jumps, vibrates or blows to the rhythm of its beat. Together, the Mok’s perform songs. By playing with them, ever-changing music is generated. This is the soundtrack for your adventures in the world of Mok.
Experiments
MokMok explores a range of experimental music and gaming techniques, attempting to imagine a new kind of playful music experience.
Synesthesia: In MokMok the visuals and music are tightly coupled, to create a synesthetic experience. The animations of the Mok’s are driven by the sound they play: Kick-Drum Mok’s jump, String Mok’s vibrate and Horn Mok’s blow. This let’s you see musical rhythm in 3D and play with it.
Spatial Music: All music in MokMok lives in 3D space - mimicking how sound behaves in nature. The closer a Mok is to the player, the louder its sound gets. The music dynamically changes, depending on where you and the Mok’s move to. This let’s you playfully remix music in countless ways.
MokAI: Each Mok is driven by a behaviour tree based game A.I system. This simple, yet effective approach defines the objectives, character traits and music of the Mok’s. Excited Mok’s play upbeat tunes, scared Mok’s play quite tunes and at the end of a quest, a group of Mok’s play a celebratory song.
Interactive Music: In MokMok there are many ways to influence what music the Mok’s play. Through simple interactions, you can make Mok’s follow you, change their musical patterns and perform funky rituals. Think of it as exploring how to play a living musical instrument.
Procedural Generation: The bizarre world of MokMok was made with a mix of classic manual design processes, along side procedural generation techniques. Using Houdini, many design variations were generated and then explored. Experience one of our finest worlds in MokMok Episode 1.
