Nice work so far! This is a really simple and fun tool to experiment with drum polyrhythms. Here’s one I made that’s 2 over 3 over 5 over 8:

You mentioned that you’re still working on this, so here’s a few wishlist items, hopefully without making it too complex:

  • I wish I could place more than nine of each sound.
  • I wish there were more guides to help me align sounds, or if there was quantization at some highly-composite value like 1/60th notes.
  • I wish I could switch between multiple loops.
  • I wish I could control the volume of individual notes.
  • I wish I could clear all the notes of a particular sound.
  • I don’t know if there’s a way to make this accessible to folks who can’t use a mouse or see the screen, but it might be nice to play sounds or announce to screen readers when hovering over notes.

I’m not sure if you’ve joined the Discord server, but you may ask us for feedback there as well. Cheers!

Also! I noticed that your devlog link should be edited. Try https://redninja83882493.wordpress.com.

Thank you for the ideas and encouragement! Impressive polyrhythm set up too! I'll do my best to grant some of your wishes :) Thanks for the invite to Discord. I decided I don't get on too well with Discord a couple of game jams back, so for the moment, I'll just stick to Itch.

You’re welcome, and best of luck with any changes you make before the jam ends and beyond!

I completely understand your hesitation with Discord. I think we chatted a bit during Games for Blind Gamers 2. That community is great! And your submission was super interesting and against the grain! But in general I’ve felt overwhelmed by Discord over the past few years, specifically the 24/7 availability it expects from me, and how exposed it can make me to things I’m not expecting as a very private solo game developer. It can be really stressful! So please prioritize yourself over anything else, with no pressure.

Tomorrow I’ll be starting a 96-hour sprint to add a walking simulator to my submission, so you might see some updates from me. Cheers!
