Project Syncnite is an innovative multiplayer music concert experience within Fortnite, designed to explore the full potential of Fortnite’s sound ecosystem and gameplay integration. Leveraging the tools of UEFN(Unreal Editor for Fortnite), Verse scripting, and Harmonix’s Patchwork music synthesis system, our team is crafting an immersive environment where music and gaming converge.
The project aims to deliver three interconnected outcomes: a multiplayer game published on the Epic Store, an engaging end-of-semester in-game event featuring an interactive audiovisual performance, and an immersive replay experience that captures the essence of live concerts.
Players will not only enjoy captivating music but also participate in gameplay that enhances the concert experience, making each performance unique and memorable. From dynamic environments that respond to sound to community-driven challenges and rewards, Project Syncnite promises to redefine how audiences engage with music in the gaming world. Join us as we create a vibrant, interactive experience where players can connect, collaborate, and celebrate music like never before!
