I really like the idea to place music sources into the world. Always thought about something similar to this w.r.t. music generation. The music quality is very high. The execution of the concept looks solid. But I wasn't quite sure what to do in the game. I need a guide to, well guide me what to do next.\r<br\/>When I read you writing about harmonies, I thought that I would get some kind of feedback from the game if I hit any or if I loose any. Didn't see this in the game though. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I can also totally see making a haunted house with this framework. You would need to add some scary objects with proper sounds that can be triggered to get activated by stepping on some tile. If you give theses objects some crowd control (like fear), the players goal could be to get through the haunted house as fast as possible or so.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>See a lot of potential here, don't let it be wasted please and continue working on it^^"},{"author_name":"Max Amaden","author_uid":"62658","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 10:46am","epoch":1450262460,"text":"Nice little game, made some sick beats!

I liked the idea of different sound mixing together, and also the fact that you listen to always different stuffs mixed differently by moving around.

It's equally hard to rate, cause I was pretty impressed, but it's hard to defend quantifiably as a game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is an interesting experiment in its own right, and the interface has lots of neat tweens going on.

Each object you place creates a sound - you can choose which note it plays. This way you create harmonies in a 3D-environment and move through it.\r\nBut be careful - if you place a wrong note other fields may loose their harmonies.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game has two modes:\r\n\r\n- Sandbox mode: Play around and build your own worlds without restrictions\r\n- Online mode: Players are building a world together, but everyone can only place one object.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nMove (Arrows\/WASD)\r\nCycle through playable keys (M\/N)\r\nRotate View\/placable object (Q\/E)\r\nOpen Menu\/Volume Control (ESC)\r\n\r\n\r\nAll sounds were created with a software synthesizer.\r\n\r\n\r\nThis game was created by Zein Okko and Kevin Glaap - two game design students from the Cologne Game Lab. We are currently opening our first indie game company \"Goodwolf Studio\".\r\n\r\nFollow us on twitter @GoodwolfStudio\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUPDATE: Here's what we are currently working on for a Post-LD-Release:\r\n\r\n- Rewrite the controls completely - instead of keyboard input, we'll use mouse and touch input\r\n- Add more objects\r\n- Add chord-playing-objects\r\n- Add some mechanic for unlocking objects (progress)\r\n- Add settings for the sandbox mode (e.g. seasons on\/off, auto-generate objects on start etc.)\r\n- Improve the calculation that locks certain notes from being played to restrict disharmonies\r\n- Add more ways of learning how harmonies work during play (e.g. scale-visualizations, map-overlays, tutorials, maybe some learning-mode that slowly teaches you harmonies)\r\n- Make a mobile version for tablets - pay-to-play, no in-app-payments\r\n","title":"Klangwelt"}
