Thank you so much!
While Sommerville is a (very) seasoned coder, this was our first jam as a team where hachitomo did the coding and I did the music. So it was a massive learning experience for all of us. (The group Discord chat was EPIC.)
Also, thank you a TON, literally, for the music tips. The first piece I wrote was the main theme, which does eventually switch progressions but I doubt anybody spends that long on the main screen. I had originally thought that would be the level music, but they decided on that for the menu and needed new level music. Hence me breaking out the violin to try and spice things up! Perhaps I’ll modulate to a relative key in the future if I don’t want something dramatic that takes away from the scene. The victory scene music started off as some sort of odd Monster Mash like thing, and I’m still surprised they put it in. I’d cut that one first and make something new.
I’m also still getting re-used to my DAW (literally made this on Logic for iPad) so some of this was experimentation on my part. The SFX were literally recorded on my iPhone and then mixed. I literally cannot wait for the next jam where we can make some new cool stuff. I’m looking forward to what you do next as well!
