17 long cold years later.

7 years later. This me on my other account, I cant remember the email I used for IST. Cant believe how time goes by. I spent years practicing fine art after this. Only now returning to game development and belatedly trying to get my foot in the door.

I love this so much. I don't know who's doing the music but it would be sweet if there were three tunes for each general area. Descending in tone; Becoming darker and more static as you approach the angry god.

Oh woops, https://www.dropbox.com/s/fx58xf68twgcu0u/Engines.7z?dl=0. Looking good !

I was just listening back to the Idle loops and noticed a few problems. Here's some amendments. Type1Fix.wav Type2Fix.wav

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fx58xf68twgcu0u/Engines.7z?dl=0 Here's some sounds. I had a go at making some fixed pitch stuff. There is only one level of fixed High RPM at the moment so if you want more (higher or lower) just let me know. If you decide to go the complexe route and need ramp downs I can make those too. I've also included some full ramp up stuff in case you go with that method. If you do I think you'll get a better result but it will cost a bit of time. Hope these work

How do you plan on integrating engine sounds? I might be able to make you some sounds but I'm not sure how to handle pitch change length between gear shifts etc.

Yup, thanks. Looking good so far

I made a small pack off sounds and music this past week if anyone is looking for some audio. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ro88s6gg47elt8i/SamplePack.7z?dl=0

I've seen it twice now and I really liked it. I had no expectations before and I was surprised how much it pulled me in.

I agree but id like to say that legit dreads are not unfeasible for white people. I've know a few white people who's hair curls tightly and will naturally dread(tightly) if left long and uncombed(but still clean). I get thats not the point though.

"If you don’t like uptalk or vocal fry, fine: with language as with fashion and music we’re entitled to our personal preferences. But with language, people have a bad habit of presenting what are actually personal preferences as if they were objective facts." from second article. People do this with music all the damn time and it's the bane of my life. More on topic though I agree completely with the article. I'd imagine traveling 200 years into the future i'd encounter an english considerably changed to what i'm used to today. Does scifi stuff ever tackle this kind of thing? I haven't read much sci fi.

I don't mind personally. I also agree with mooses point about not pricing to a standard by default.

Yah I think its cool to see that on a larger scale than a table top for sure.

Hmm thats cool. Its made by Lexus?? They made a skatepark entirely for this thing?? Are people supposed to go buy these? I don't quite get it. The whole campaign is so weird to me.. Oh wait I just rewatched it and a Lexus car drives under the guy doing the air. Now I get it. Huh My cynical side was just set ablaze.

Oh man thats sweet. I wonder if it would be more useful for like shipping containers(corpses) or something. Parking cars isn't exactly a problem.

Session went well. Thanks for the supportive replies folks

Thanks

I am one of those people. Math class became tech-deck class from age 14 and onwards thanks to my lack of interest and a very lenient teacher. A few years ago I went through all the basics at Khan Academy and caught up a little bit. It was crazy how much basic stuff I just didn't know. I learnt enough to learn to code (which I know is pretty basic) but I was really surprised and proud I wasn't a dumbass like I thought. If anyone can relate I'd definitely recommend Khan Academy though I haven't been there for a few years.

Going to a psychologist tomorrow. Pretty nervous that i'm making a big deal out of nothing. I don't know though.. Ill at least get some perspective on myself.

American media/culture has always been heavily present in my life. I think is kind of odd considering it's a country on the other side of the world. I know all sorts of bits and bobs about this whole country i've never been and may never go. If you go the other way id doubt many Americans would have a clue about anything in New Zealand. Which is fine, NZ doesn't export its culture anywhere near as much as the US. It kind of shows how much media can influence people. So yah if this were a civ game America has really high culture. I can't really speak for what I actually think of american people though.. I've never really met any(internet excluded). I think there's a kind of frustration people can have with the idea of an American person. I dont think its right but there's this kind of urge to think that American people are arrogant and that they believe the world runs on their own clock. Of course this is entirely unfair but it's an undercurrent i've both seen in my pairs and felt to some degree in the past and I wonder where it comes from. Also entirely probably this isn't a common thing and i'm just stupid.
