Hi again!

Don't be mad. I forgot to post yesterday. This is weekly and weekly means every Sunday.... It's Monday. I literally forgot. Like.... ooops.

Anyway!

This week I worked on Soundtracking my game. I added sound effects too. Let me start off with some inner conflicts I ran into. The main conflict was, "I must create everything myself." Like the coin sound effect, and the door closing sound effect, but guys, there are websites that have CC0 SFX's. I'll just put their names in the credits and call it a day. Resourcing should not be a crime. Not crediting the source is a crime. But that's what I struggled with at the beginning of the week. I then made the music for the beginning levels, the save and load screen, and the opening scenes. I had to revisit one of the songs a few times because I just couldn't get the right feel to the song... But I'm 99.99% sure it's right. If you have any specific questions about my process or my ideology of FL Studio game soundtracking, you could always leave me a message. I do want to drop this link for you so you can get a sample of some good good of what's to come

Something interesting also happened this week. I had two people play my game and give me feedback for the first time. To my surprise, it was better feedback than I was expecting and that really motivated me. They only played for about ten minutes, but the amount of feedback I got from watching them play my game was very helpful. I can't say too much about the experience, except that they really enjoyed the game. I saw how the mechanics worked for someone who had no knowledge of the game used the mechanics in their own way. That was helpful.

Until next time!
