Eck, do you mind if I take some of those questions that you had posted and use them in my post-mortem? (I've already copied them, so they're not lost.)

@Orymus:

• What are some features in your games that you're proud of?
• What were other teams doing that you thought were cool?
• How did your game change from concept to delivery?
• What things did you learn from the experience?
• What did you screw up? (May want to wait until after the judging, they may not notice!)
• If you had one more day, what would you focus on?

What the crap? It's been working on everyone else's computer!!!! Like 10 other people have tried it. >.< And there's no drm protected music, it was all free. Waaaah!

Okay, don't panic.... breathe....

Which link did you get it from? The dropbox or my game journal?

You can disable the songs via the data settings files. Let me get those details to you...

I'd prefer it if we could get this working on your computer with the music since I feel it adds quite a bit. I even made sure to get it working on my mom's computer who is very much NOT a developer. Maybe try updating your sound drivers?

If you want to try it without the title music, in the Data\GameSettingsData.xml file, there are some GameState elements with BackgroundMusicName elements. Replace all "TitleAndStory" with "", and it shouldn't play the song. You can try to play the game again after making those changes.

Try just this, and fire up the game. After you get to the title screen, click the credits button which should trigger a different song. I hope the credits music works. It's a firefly reference.

If that crashes, you'll probably have to get rid of the rest of the music entries,

There are other songs in the game as well. One for the main game "GameMusic", boss speech, "BossSpeech", lose screen, "LoseScreen", win screen, "WinScreen", and credits, "Credits".

And you can hold down the spacebar to speed through the cutscenes.
