64DCG - DevBlog 2
Sup fellas. If you weren't turned off by that sketchblog, then let's continue the planning phase for 64DCG.Today, my friends, I get a poll on the setting. So without further ado, the poll itself.SettingInternet - 264Digits Itself - 2ThemeThere's a good reason I put those before the explanation, particularly because I wanted them at the top.SettingMostly the location, time period, etc that you would like to see the game set in. This can be futuristic, fantasy, modern, digital, in a certain country, etc. Be detailed in your suggestions.ThemeThe theme is separate from the setting, yet a part of it in ways. Think back to the 64Dare contest, and the themes we all voted for. Do something similar. This is a wide field, so be creative.I will be using the one with the most votes. Be sure to vote. It helps me construct the plot and figure out where you as characters will fit in.Also, on the topic of music tracks. The game isn't going to be composed of 100% original music unless I get some help or the consensus says so. So last time I asked you to come up with a track you'd like to be playing during your fight (provided you want to be a boss, and if not, disregard this). If you don't provide your preferences, I'll use some of my older tracks, compose something quick, or use something suitable to shmup gameplay. And knowing me, it'll probably be Touhou. So if you're not content with Touhou, you better submit something.Music should fit into the soundtrack category. I'm not going to be a whore on copyrights, but songs with lyrics (unless they're your own), or songs that fall outside of game soundtracks will not be used. If you choose to submit, I will be picky as to whether or not it's appropriate for a shmup.If you also want to vote on a style of music for the "64Digits Anthem", the title screen theme, feel free. I do want the game to have some original music.Development has begun. Help further it along by providing your input, or you'll force me to wing it all.
Make sure you do some EQ as well. The song you posted needs some of it.
Ah, but of course.
I did toss in an MP3 or two in there :PI use FL Studio. I just use MIDI format because it's easier to work with in GM.I'll just make something in MP3.Got a definitive style for me to work with before I start on anything?That's really what the zip was for. To showcase pretty much what one would expect from me."musicportfolio.zip" :V(My vote for the setting is the 64D!)Even with a wide field such as theme, I can't think of anything but invasions and other horribly generic shooter stuff.
But, I also thought of having our characters being hurled into different universes and trying to find out who's responsible for it…Though that might be a little much.Ugh. I'm just that bad at coming up with themes.Then again, I appear to be the only one who has at least suggested some at this time.It's been decided. I'll create a new blog in a few minutes.
