Perspectives
I am the developer of the game as well as the writer for this article detailing its importance. It was originally created as my Master's Thesis project with a much longer written thesis that presented more of the overall state of accessibility in games, whereas this version focuses on my specific project and the steps forward it takes in regards to the rhythm genre specifically.
