Your presentation is very clear, concise and thorough. Great job! The idea of "getting attuned" to the environment's needs via music is excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing how your project evolves! Also I'm so happy to see people considering the UI/UX needs from the very start of a project. I think your major challenge moving forward will be to refine this concept of "synergizing" music with visuals, and the appropriate flow/steps to achieve this (both design wise and production wise). This might require quite a lot of coordination between team members to make sure things go smoothly (but you seem to already have a robust plan).

Use of Theme / Inspiration
We will be using music as a way to catalyze change in promoting greener, more sustainable environments through gameplay. We feel by including music as a key mechanic, it will create more user engagement and encourage an emotional connection between the user and game content. Everyone in the group has expressed their own concerns/lived experiences regarding the climate crisis and we will model levels after these concerns.
