Any sound is better than no sound!

jfxrI’m seeing some “I’m in” posts saying stuff like “I won’t do sound because there won’t be time.” That’s silly: a game with primitive sound effects is much more engaging and immersive than a game that’s entirely silent.

For those people, here’s how to add sound to your game in literally one minute:

  • Go to jfrx.frozenfractal.com (Firefox or Chrome; sorry, no Safari or IE).
  • Choose a preset button on the left and click it until you get a sound you like.
  • Click Export and save it.

So I don’t want to see any mute games this time! No excuses!

Disclaimer: I wrote JFXR :) If you have any bug reports or feature requests and file them in the issue tracker this week, there’s a chance I’ll get them done before the compo. Also, feel free to comment on existing reports so I can gauge interest.
