Looking good indeed!

That's okay! I will check it out and see if something there can be used or adapted for the new context. It doesn't really have to "fit" with the game, it's more to try to find what elements can be useful.  

Thanks! I haven't heard The Sea of Thieves OST but of course I know the RDR2 soundtrack, it's one of the best crafted OST of the last decade. I'll study both and see if there's something that can work as inspiration :)  

Because we´re all changing things a bit I wanted to do the same. 

This time I would like to know not only what themes we need but also what games you like, what OSTs you like or even what you have in mind for the game music wise. If that makes sense. The more opinions and suggestions the better so I have more material to study and make something original with all of that

Yep, a demo with just a few things might actually be what we need the most for now. 

100% yes lol

Maybe 4 nights for chapter 1, not too much work and a good way to see feedback on the game by other people. Extra characters seems good we just have to think the actual roles. 
I'm not sure how much the story has changed so layout and themes are kinda hard to know. Rating... hmmm... maybe test the 13+ with possibility of more mature in other chapters? specially being psychological horror (Maybe that's just me as a big fan of horror stuff)

Also the mini games are a good idea if they feel organic in the plot/place.

Maybe we can have some reference images or something like that to help us with the atmosphere and feel?

So yeah, maybe that can give some ideas for the plot and gameplay

Yes, that´s why I really like the concept of survival horror, limited resources and limiting or straight up ignoring combat and that mixed with the investigation aspect can be a good thing

So I've been playing a lot of Survival Horror (specially Fatal Frame, Rule of Rose and Outlast 2) lately and I personally think that making the protagonist vulnerable and defenseless can be good if that's a type of horror we want to achieve, plus it goes well with investigation like you were suggesting. So investigation and a touch of stealth and maybe psychological horror? That's just some ideas but using some of the things we already have, you know?

Probably for the best imo, so it fits again.  

Things like having a save theme, chase theme, etc can probably stay and you can use the current ones as placeholders for the time being

So, with the new story on the works, does the music have to change?

Sounds good to me! Can't wait to see what you end up writing 

Nope, because the project is in a version of Unity that won´t suffer from that plan (only the newest version that will launch in 2024 as well as future versions will be affected by the new policies as far as I know)

Oof, yeah I understand that, it´s a pretty hard game, the worst thing is that there´s no tutorial! 

Also hi! nice to see you´re still here as well :)

Nothing, that was one of the main problems, it would mean the end of small developers who can´t afford to pay such a big amount of money in case a free game blows up. Every install would count (it will in the new version of Unity) and by every install they really mean it, no real protection against piracy and I think they were trying to see what would happen in case someone installed the game multiple times out of malice. There´s a lot of interesting and messed up details about that plan 

I studied composition of popular music, composition of music for multimedia and music theory. And right now I'm making a thesis on adaptive music, exploring all the types of adaptive music, it's history and how can it be used.

So for it I'm not only writing about it but I'm also making a technical demo of a game to show examples that help me during that work, if that makes sense

Hello everyone! just letting you know two quick things:

1. I've been really busy with some IRL stuff (final project to graduate collage and it's also related to games so yeah, pretty time consuming) so I've been working on the project but really slowly (even if it's just a piece for now)

2. Probably tomorrow or Friday I'll have the track ready and then I guess I just have to wait till more music is needed. I'm not really sure what could be needed at this point in the development from my part though, so I'm open to any ideas or to just wait for ya'll to have more stuff

Just a little update from my part so you see I'm still alive lol

Hi! yeah I saw the stupid change in the pricing, Unity's former CEO is literally the worst. 

Good thing it doesn't affect the project though!
About pricing of the game, I think the donation plan plus releasing the game by chapters is really the way to go. And of course splitting the possible gains.

Innocent... you mean more like a gentle simple thing or more like playful or wholesome?

That's great! glad you like it!
What other tracks do you guys need?

Sounds great and it's good we're all slowly going back to it after being busy ':)
Can't wait to see what you come up with

Thanks! :) I was worried that I went too over board with it. But yeah, I think they came out nice

Hello everyone! Long time no see.

I´ve been so busy in these past few weeks but I´m kinda back. 

And I bring with me two of the tracks that you needed before anything else. 

The chase theme (pretty heavy I think but hey I like it) and the save/menu theme.

I would really appreciate your feedback specially now that your idea of the plot is a bit different.  
Also if needed I´d be more than happy to explain both tracks and maybe that would help too.
Replaced OST

Hello, update from my part, I haven't been able to send anything, I've been busy with paper work for college and looking for a job so has been a little busy. 

Hopefully I can upload something asap, sorry for the delay 

I think it´s good.
Sure, it´s a lot of work that you had already done but as you said, the blueprint is there so I think it will be even better

I'm not from US so yeah, I do have the time to keep working on it, but happy independence day for y'all! 

I did check the story, I really like how it's going! and it's great that you're dividing between gameplay and cutscenes, I think it's useful for everyone  

Yes.
Today is Monday, this Wednesday/Thursday I'm going to post something BIG and I'll need everyone's opinion on it

3 months sounds pretty good, up to you so take the time needed, on my end some themes and tracks might stay the same but of course new custom tracks per chapter will be needed  

Are you sure about the monthly basis? I mean, it's definitely possible but rushing things to keep a short deadline might not be the best of ideas.

Awesome! I don't know how hard it's to implement it though

I think chapters is a good idea, and it´s probably easier to work that way too. I´m all in for that.

As for the tasks... hmm not really sure, I´d need to give it a thought but maybe getting everything back in place? let me elaborate.
Kinda like that RE7 dlc  called " Bedroom" where it's like an escape room but you need to get things back in place before you get caught.
So maybe Jesse does all the things that he needs during the night and at the end he needs to put everything back in place so no one notices that he´s onto something

This sounds pretty cool! I'm on board with that

Thanks, anyway, I'll keep working on this and get back to y'all soon

Thanks! I'll check it out  tomorrow probably, I've been a bit busy lately (a very important exam in 2 weeks and my final project to graduate college) so I haven't been able to work as much as I would like, sorry about that.

After that exam I'll be able to get work a bit more consistently again though

EDIT: I checked the link real quick and apparently I can't get access

Oh that's actually awesome! Noted!

I thought of the computers (the exploring emails and stuff) as a "save thing".  Like the save rooms in RE or something like that, but that´s just how I saw them, I don't know your original idea

Might be good, but what about doing that in the computers themselves?

I wish I could participate! Unfortunately I'm pretty busy at the moment with some important exams and work for this but if you´re entering best of lucks!
