LD30

Sound and music software?

Hello everyone. So i am looking to join the LD30. Actually heard about it on tuesday and decided to go for it yesterday. Never made (let alone) finished a game and to be honest i don’t have that much knowledge on making one. I just need a motivator to even get to making a game and i am hoping the forced deadline will help me actually get to making something. I can somewhat do visuals, but i have not got any clue on what to use for sound and or music, if i even get to that. Does anyone here have suggestions on what software to use for music and sfx? Obviously something that is super easy to learn cause eeeh 36 hours is not much aye. I love you.
whehehe

Kind regards,
Danny

Music is tough since a lot of digital audio workstations can be fairly complex and take time to learn, and can cost quite a bit of money. I personally use FL Studio, and I like it, but I don’t know if I would recommend it on such short notice.

I’ve used Chronolapse before and it works great. The one downside is that if you have two monitors, your timelapse may be hard to see.

Explain the rating system please?

What does all of this mean? And how will ranking be formed in the end? I mean… based on what?

D = Default = R – C, except not quite that simple
R = Ratings = how many ratings this entry has received.
C = Coolness = how many entries this user has rated
L = Loser = someone who games the coolness ranking. It’s the honor system, people. Everyone might think you are cool, but in your heart of hearts, you will know that you are a loser.

The R and the C of course I understand but I don’t get the D and the L. And I don’t see how a winner can be chosen based on these numbers. Is it bad if you rate more games than the number that rate you? And does it matter if you rate just anyone or specificly the ones that rated you? Will there be only one mention or a list per category?.. My first time so I don’t know these things sorry.

It’s a system so that when you vote, you receive votes (and you need 20 votes to compete). D is how many of these “vote-points” you have.

So how does (D:46=R:8-C:5) work? In my book 8-5=3? This is just strange. And as far as i can see you start out with D50 and it goes down? Heuh?

And why does voting a lot make you a loser? heuh?

This has nothing to do with the final score; that’s determined by how people rate your game.

All these numbers are just used to make sure everyone gets at least some votes. The idea is that if you rate 20 games, you get 20 ratings on your game.
