The music, while I liked it, got old after a while. Overall a good job, though I do think it would have been cool to have the music change for different areas. If you do a post compo version, could you make it so that the rest of the theater uses the existing music, and the stage music changes according to what happens during the play?"},{"author_name":"Sir Spiderlot","author_uid":"55448","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 1:31pm","epoch":1440422760,"text":"A very interesting and innovative concept for sure.

I wanted to do a longer piece but ran out of time so ended up with 2 minutes of music repeated ad nausaeum. Several shorter pieces depending on area is a great idea and I didn't even think of it.\r\r@pavel_insight thanks for the correction! Yeah the time stuff took a bit of thought but it wasn't too bad. I ended up writing things like NPC positions as a function of time, then abstracting over that with little go-here, do-this scripts, if that makes sense. Not having an engine to fight against definitely helped."},{"author_name":"Manou","author_uid":"29477","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 2:30pm","epoch":1440426300,"text":"Love the art style, mood and the realtime clock.
