Five hour turnarounds and horribly hot weather

Posted by Astryl on March 12, 2012, 2:25 a.m.

I only got five hours of sleep last night, due to the heat, Neverwinter Nights 2, and that large cup of coffee I had. Doesn't hurt me, but I wish I'd done a bit more than bashing in the skulls of Dock Thieves. >_>

Anyway, due to a bunch of people IRL nagging me to try make 'real' music, I opened LMMS and did this:

I hate sequencers. And that includes FL Studio, which I tried, and the only thing I like about it is the semi-authentic sound of the FL Slayer plugin.

BACK TO CHIPTUNE!

BUT LISTEN TO THIS FIRST:

Eh, somebody asked in my last blog why my sprite was blurry? XNA's integrated scaling. I decided to work around that in a simple way: Scale the sprites in the image editor so their native size matches the size I want.

I've got a main character now, and a standard NES palette (Borrowed from the NESTech Docs I have). I'll upload pictures soon.

Anyways, I have to come up with a game based around searching for a transvestite dungeon. Roguelike perhaps? Hmmm… *wanders off into thought*

NWN2 was alright. Other RPG's are much better though.

Sounds okay.

Your chiptune stuff is better.

Unless you're planning to put together a band, I'd say you can safely ignore them. That is no more 'real' than anything else you might have been doing. Not that I've ever heard your other stuff :P.

I tell you, one thing I do not enjoy is working with a sequencer, or with samples. I like the clean surgical precision that chiptunes offer me.

Why are you listening to them?
I just sequenced it in front of a small audience of 'friends' to prove to them that I'm better at chiptune, and that it's better that way…

Nwn2 is a good game. Almost as good as the first one.
Never played the first one, so hard to get hold of legitimately. And I want it legitimately. Must build my collection of games for no reason.
