Summary:
In which progress in legal stuff is made; a sound-designer is contacted; an over-long list is addressed; some new audio is self-made; audio-less elements are discovered and given audio; "interactions" are given sounds; and NaNoRenO continues.
Greetings and salutations!
This week's screenshot is once again a wave-form, this time from an effect made for the "Dragon Heart" artefact:
The week just past was a week of--amongst other things--a flurry of audio-activity:
To start with however, let me report that I have at last made contact with a lawyer! And indeed, we have begun making some headway on the relevant legal matters, I do think. ^_^
As to matters of audio, perhaps the biggest news is that I have started talking with a freelance audio-engineer about getting some professionally-wrought sound-effects! Specifically, I'm looking to get a few particular pieces of audio made, such that most of the elements that are especially salient to the player sound good.
Now, this will only cover a few pieces of audio (about twenty). And when in preparation for this I looked through my list of sounds, I found that I had earmarked... about twice that. ^^;
So, I embarked on some unplanned audio-work of my own! Going through the list, certain pieces of audio I decided to be acceptable. Others, however, I then made. (And I will say that I'm not entirely unhappy with the sounds that I came up with for the "Dragon's Heart" artefact.)
Furthermore, I discovered a few elements in the game that had no audio at all, and that I felt could use some--those now have sound effects, too! (One of which sounds is taken from
A Door to the Mists.)
And indeed, in doing so I realised that "interactions" could use associated audio, and which could be specified in level-editing. I thus implemented that--thankfully a process that wasn't too difficult!
And of course, there may be things done in the week just past that I'm forgetting!
As to NaNoRenO, that jam continued in the week just past! Specifically, my time working on it was primarily spent at writing, I believe, and I think that I've made solid progress there. (And I will say that I have been having fun!) ^_^
That then is all for this week--stay well, and thank you for reading! ^_^
