But it's exactly the same sound every time, maybe would be great to have two or four versions of the sound and\/or modulate the pitch by 1-3% randomly on each play of the sound effect. This will prevent it from feeling repetitive to the player."},{"author_name":"The-Force","author_uid":"11053","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 3:02am","epoch":1429585020,"text":"-to pkenney: thanks for the tip."},{"author_name":"EverlessDrop41","author_uid":"51214","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:15pm","epoch":1429632600,"text":"I like the idea but I agree with devilright, the erasing takes a bit too long.
