Two games come to my mind: Black Lamp, which had a great song... that got you bored after 10 minutes. The second is Draconus, which background "music" never distracted nor ended up being annoying. Anyway, adding the option to turn music on/off would be cool. - Yautja, the all seer - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I find music that fades in and out or can be turned off is always a great idea. If it just plays the music sometimes instead of all the time, it can add to the game. certain things could trigger it to restart to add excitement, or quiet it to add tension for the mood of of a section of a level.

Certain things could trigger the music playing - like they did in Pitfall II or Snokie? Nooooooooo! I prefer music in the titlescreen or on the startpage, but only sfx in the game. If there is music in the game it should either be so calm that you do not notice it (like e.g. in Star Vagrant) or there should be an option to switch music off (and therefore switch on sfx).

I hope you're wrong on this one - I'll be long gone in 40 years. There's been some great progress on this front the last few months at least.

danwinslow Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I would think we've cumulated as much as is possible on POKEY by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added: - background blocks (no interaction with them) - throw moving objects behind the screen - headworms - active has open eyes, the other eyes are closed - You can pick up items on which the second player stands and pick up the player who pick up items look at: 10m25s Snakebird is a very hard game.

xxl Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 This above is from the early period of game development, and in fact several levels are very similar - those that seemed to me interestingly designed puzzles, later the game enriched with elements that are not present in SnakeBird and I had to resort to ideas from other games, ? There is even a level creator for GS on PC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
