MUSIC?

Post by Ball »

Your game is amazing, and I've just begun to play. One thing that could make it more epic is some old school RPG music. I'm sure I'm not the first person to suggest it but the complete silence does draw away from what is already my favorite mobile game.

Oskar is against introducing music or sound effects because it will significantly increase the size of the game files. Maybe this will change in the future.

initially, oskar had a very solid "NO" position.

but recently, he said...

if it was small enough and we could find the right composer / liscence,
that we may consider it.

but it seemed like it would be something he would consider if it was proposed...
not something he would go out & look for.

Imphenzia Soundtrack, anyone?

:twisted:

i was also considering putting some stuff together,
but i am already too swamped. hahaha

let's cross our fingers for super tiny music that is just as cool!
(i think the default should be mute, no sound, unless you turn it on)

im trying to find where i read that,
so i can post it...

back with more later!

(also consider, this game runs perfectly on phones as old as droid 1.6)
and he wants to keep it that way...

I remember seeing this written somewhere but by now its lost in the sea of comments on the forum.

I remember there being someone who wanted to take a crack at writting something but i can't remember who.

Personally, I would always have the game on mute. I play while at work, on the bus, or while waiting so if i can have music playing i listen to Pandora or whatever is on my phone.

Hahahaha! One main reason I love this game is its total silence! Though there has been RPG 'jingles' I enjoyed, I prefer to listen to my own mp3 files or nothing when playing. I've even told my husband to shut up...oops, I didn't say that lolz

right?

:lol:

silence is golden, like when the baby is sleeping inches away...
as you slay a demon & grab a new sword - in total silence!

:twisted:

all you can hear is breathing...
yes, even mute - this game packs a punch.

:D

I agree with Oskar's position. That being said a separate sound effect/music pack could be made as optional download [future dev idea]; hooks would need be added to base. Music or video [scenes] add too much bloat to be baked into [base] app imo.
