This week I got audio working in the game, as planned. Creating music and sound effects takes me a very long time, so for now it’s re-used audio from the original Bleed. My goal is to create a functional demo first, and then spend whatever time I have left over making it polished and fresh.<\/p>\n

I did add one new feature to my audio setup: sounds now fade the farther off-screen they originate. When a sound plays, I just measure the distance between it’s origin and the camera. Within a certain range (basically, enough to encompass any sound on-screen) they play at max volume, and after that they fade until they don’t play at all. It’s simple, but I like the effect.\"\"I also got to work making the menus for the demo! Just like the audio, they’re pretty rough, but I don’t need them to be complicated or ultra-detailed right now, I just need them to be there.<\/p>\n

We got your main menu:<\/p>\n

\"\"
There won’t be any options in the demo, just straight into the game.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

The pause menu, very familiar:<\/p>\n

\"\"
Weapon selection won’t be available in the demo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And the level clear menu!<\/p>\n

\"\"
I’m debating adding “clear time” to this menu. I probably wouldn’t grade players on it, but it might be nice to indicate…?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At this point I’ve almost assembled the bare bones expected of a public demo! Next week I’ll properly integrate the menus, and then finally start working on refining the important parts, like the actual gameplay, bosses, levels, difficulty, etc.<\/p>\n

Also, the Indie Megabooth has announced that PAX Prime submissions open later in the week… so it’s a damn good thing I’ve had to put this demo together. There’s so much still to do, but I might actually pull it off…!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
