A little bit of everything

While we are off to a good start this semester it feels like we are back at the beginning. Taking a step back to look at our game so we can iterate and make things even better. The idea for right now is that in our game we would try out a bunch of different themes and styles for our game and figure out which works best. The way our game works with the minigames being so closely designed with the art, we found that the sound is the same way. I can't really know exactly what to make for the levels until they are made and I can actually put the audio into the game. In the meantime I am finding more source material to take for inspiration and am just playing around with Fruity Loops.

At this point it is nice because I have really picked up a lot of skills in Fruity Loops. The other nice part is because of my class last semester I am much better at editing clips for us to use to make these tracks for the game. Hopefully this will all end up becoming some really good music for our game. As I said before right now I am just kind of making a little bit of everything to fit a bunch of different themes that our team may go for. Due to the extensiveness of the games soundtrack (From all the minigames) we want to get a headstart on the load of work that will be ahead of us.

As of now it takes about three days of work to just make one track that is worth playing for people. Now I am just playing around and still learning but I definitely need to prepare myself for what is to come in the future when we move further into the semester. I will definitely want to share my workload with my Sound Director, should the work become too much. I still can't be 100% sure on what to expect workload wise. Off to a great start though and hopefully my team stays as productive as it has been thus far!
