I'm a bit surprised to see someone with your credentials offering to help in a game jam.
For myself I have found that music and sound is just as important as everything else in a game and have been working on improving my own music skills.
While I'm happy to keep doing the music myself, once I've uploaded my game, I would be interested in your feedback. I'd still say I'm a beginner, but getting feedback on the music from someone with your experience would be very helpful.
Hi again,
Really not bad stuff, i think you need to be a bit careful using melody in games as lots of repetition will get annoying for some players, so maybe use the piano more sparingly, and have longer sections without melody, maybe add a B section with some different chords/harmony to give some variety. The pickup sounds are in key with the music which is nice, maybe expand that by having a set of different notes that are played randomly when you eat something, since the player will be hearing that sound a lot and variety is a good thing.
Also if you can think of ways to change the music when different things happen in the game, that's also a good way of making the music feel more involved rather than being something that feels 'in the background'
Kep up the good work!
Thank you for the feedback.
With what I've been doing lately, I've noticed that I want to be able to figure out transitions between different parts of a piece of music in way that helps a piece flow from one part to the next to be able to add variety smoothly.
As I'm learning, I'd like to be able to get to a point where I can use game context in conjunction with music intensity, but feel like I've still got a few steps to do before I get to that point.
Your feedback is very much appreciated. I'm not musically trained so getting feedback from someone like yourself is very valuable to me.
