    "Beethoven - Follow the Music" is an AR game in which you trace the melodies of various Beethoven pieces through the movements of your phone. After winning the Beethoven-themed Game Jam held at Cologne Game Lab in early 2019, creative director Yasaman Farazan and her team collaborated with Massive Miniteam to further develop the prototype for the public-broadcasting institution WDR. The full release will be this December on Google Play and the iOS Appstore to celebrate the 250th birthday of Beethoven in 2020. In this mid-mortem a few weeks before release, producer Milan Pingel will interview Yasaman Farazan about the challenges encountered when developing a game about experiencing classical music. Together, they will take a deep dive into the design process of the game and elaborate on the iteration of visual feedback mechanisms, tools design and user feedback testing by showing elements and pictures from various stages of the development process. Questions from the audience are very welcome and everyone is invited to try out the game after the talk!
