This is my first Ludum Dare and I wasn't really prepared for just how intense it was. Pivoting between making fart noises for a giant slug and angelic string quartets all while questioning if I even knew what I was doing at all! @daanvanyperen and @flaterectomy have been a power house so I've been desperate to keep up!

There were some low moments when I questioned my sanity and abilities. Dann and Flat, both veterans of LD both chuckled and told me 'yeah, that's part of the whole thing, just roll with it'.

Welp, crisis aside, I've cobbled together some SFX and one whole track with hopefully two more to come!

Plenty of polish left but I'm pretty proud of the sound effect that happens when you get eaten by that nasty critter above (it was a recording of me devouring a rather tasty croissant layered with a recording of flushing some jello down the toilet!) so watch out for that.

You can check out the first track I developed on my youtube:

Is it perfect? No. Would I do literally everything differently? Yes. Am I proud of it? Kinda. Is it done. YES!

I'll be streaming the last segment of mad-dash music making tomorrow evening from 6pm BST.

So, you've signed up to make the music and SFX for a Ludum Dare game. cool!. Don't panic!

I thought I'd make a video explaining my general approach to making music when time is against you!
