no rush no pressure and the jam's long over but I think I got custom keymaps up and running!

ty for the heads up; I may not be able to fix this in for the game jam vote time; I'll fix and update the controls situation soon and make sure the next games I make are more full playable!

ty! left the fast splash; fixed the enemy kill count. the .zip's a good call; I wanted to go all out on convenience so I got Godot to bundle everything into one solo file for Linux, one solo file for Windows! tested on a different computer and they ran good. what felt most urgent is to get a fully fixed game out as fast as possible; wanna have the in-browser running by at least this time tmrw

ty; just uploaded the .pck as-is! sent in after time but at least the game should work now. and yeah I'll probs get a more "fixed" version out after the jam! first real shot at Godot

ty for heads up; just uploaded the .pck as-is! no idea how votes work if entered after time but at least the game should kinda work now. may add a cleaned-up version of the game after the jam's done

ty! and I remember going over this decision too; mix it up for a more dynamic piece? have the same textures and dynamics all the way bc so much of a trek thru a snowstorm is featureless, exhausting; one mile looks and feels like the next one which looks and feels like the last one? the most tempting change, even beyond instruments and textures, was doing a metric modulation, which I ultimately didn't; I just couldn't! this artwork felt like it had to have smth really steady; the skier feels absolutely determined to keep the pace

ty! wanna say six easy hours in Furnace for casino machine, handfuls of minutes at a time when I could find the time, a few late nights w the speaker on my shoulder; probs doable in four hours, mb three, but I like having a night of sleep between start and finish!

just checked; Furnace has presets! usually I just make my own instruments. all of casino machine is raw fm and pulse except the snare sample! one sample only. after hearing what Abstract 64 does with raw fm only I eased up on the kick samples. only one channel for standard Sega Genesis does samples; if I do fm kick, it's easier to let the snare samples ring out without having to step on their tails

and YES on sound design capability w Furnace! no real eq, compressor, or lots of standard DAW tools yet the sound design capacity is thru the roof. gotta go w the newest A64 track at time of writing afaik as a huge example of what can be done w Furnace

and totally; go for it w trackers! OpenMPT's free, same w Furnace; OpenMPT does more w samples. Dn-FamiTracker, also free, does NES and just feels right to me, like a home base, like the computer version of being able to go to the acoustic guitar. boiling everything down to two pulses, one triangle, and one noise channel can be relieving. feels like I barely scratched the surface w Klystrack and Sunvox. and ofc there's Renoise! if I'm not in Furnace I'm probs in Renoise
