I don&#8217;t have any formal music training so it&#8217;s not mind-blowing, but I&#8217;m pretty happy with how it turned out over all. If you&#8217;re interested but just want to hear the best piece, I&#8217;m most fond of the boss music that plays at 1:27.<\/p>\n <p><iframe width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qMJAo_FOLs4?fs=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n <p>Oh, and obviously I&#8217;ve decided on the title &#8220;The Pioneer&#8221;. The protagonist is some kind of supernatural entity that is carving away evil monsters from worlds so that his people can live on them.<\/p>\n <p>Each set of levels has a unified palette, which is chosen from an array using <a href=\"http:\/\/tetris.wikia.com\/wiki\/TGM_randomizer\">this method<\/a>. Depending how far into the game session the player is, there are more permutations to levels which make them more challenging- by the second set of levels, slippery surfaces and lava will may appear, unless the player chooses either the &#8220;challenging&#8221; or &#8220;wildcard&#8221; mode- in which case <em>anything<\/em> could show up at the very beginning.<\/p>\n <p>I have also decided on three weapons- there&#8217;s the basic sword, which is swiped in a 90 degree arc like Link&#8217;s sword from 2D Zelda games, a lance which is longer but only goes straight, like a whip from Castlevania, and then a bow and arrow which is a standard range weapon which requires ammo. The player can upgrade one of these at the end of every set of levels, increasing the selected weapon&#8217;s damage output by a single point. There are other things to upgrade as well of course!<\/p>","time":"April 21st, 2012 9:32 pm","title":"finished my game\u2019s music"}
