Frag. I am not sure whether or not to keep this whole dynamic music thing. It’s a fair amount of extra work, it doesn’t always sound as good as something planned out, it only saves a little bit of space, and the melody sections still get repetitive after a little while… And it broke my sound effects slider.
Also I would need to keep the music inside the file as opposed to an external directory. And this bloats the size of the working file considerably and makes it unpleasant to do just about any development. Oy.
I just don’t know. I guess I will put aside the sound for a while and just focus on visual art and gameplay issues.
BTW – I just started playing Super Metroid again – and I am just floored by what a fantastic opening sequence that game has. Possibly the best in video game history.
