Runs considerably faster on the latter two.\r\n- For some people the sound doesn't seem to be playing. No idea why. As a workaround you could access the audio file directly: http:\/\/moc.sirtetris.com\/ldd35\/bgm\/bgm.ogg\r\n\u200c\r\n\r\nGeneral notes\r\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\r\n- I think giving the villagers more interesting (and\/or consistent) behaviour as well as adding one or two more game mechanics would have been nice. Oh well ... it's something. :)\r\n\u200c\r\n\r\nFun facts\r\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\r\n- Takashi's surname, \u80fd\u5316, is written with the characters for ability (\u80fd) and change (\u5316). His spirit (the reddish thing you control) is made up of serveral \u5316 characters overlayed.\r\n- The background image, although pixelated and upscaled to unrecognizability, started out as a large \u72f8 (tanuki) character. Tanuki are raccoon dogs known in Japanese folklore to have shapeshifting powers: https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tanuki#In_folklore_and_tradition\r\n- The background sound was actually recorded in Japan. I just put my camera next to an open window, recorded and caught some loud talking in the distance. Slowed it down a lot, repeated it, done.\r\n- Best score I was able to get so far is 30.","title":"NOUKE"}
