Description:

Melody Destroys the Music Industry (MDMI) is a Metroidvania action-rpg platformer developed in Game Maker. The game is still in development but about a quarter of the way complete. This is a solo-development project, so the art, music, story and code were all created by me. No generative A.I. was used in the creation of this game. Thank you for playing!

Story Synopsis:

Melody just started her new job at Mega Media Corp as a data entry technician! She secretly hopes that getting a job at the largest record company in the world, MegaMedia, can help get her foot in the door so she can become a professional musician. Unfortunately, a poorly timed artist strike has Melody taking up arms against some of her favorite musicians. Will she be able to save her job, save the musicians she’s contractually obligated to hunt down, and still salvage her dream of becoming a well renowned musician herself?
