✧✧ please read below before commenting about the sprite style and coding issues ✧✧ 「this coding is completely by me with no reference, so it contains a few bugs. scroll below for additional info.」 「✧KNOWN BUGS/SOLUTIONS✧」 ✧ the text scenes at the beginning/end will get messed up if you press the button before the dialogue finishes. i know it's slow, but the pace is easy to read and i worked hard on spacing the text out. please be patient. ✧ the color overlays that appear over different door scenes might turn into the animated sprite and will appear as a weird ghost overlay of the character. this is a result of project lag, restarting the project with the green flag until the ghost figure does not appear should fix this issue. ✧ the thumbnail will not appear sometimes. this is also a result of lag and doesn't affect the rest of the project. 「✧summary of the project✧」 welcome to my interactive project for school! my topic is a little hard to explain, but it's about how video game music can strongly influence your life in positive ways with the strong and direct moods it can create. i made an original character, lapis, just for this project so that i could try making art of a character i wasn't used to. i hope you enjoy the information and short game! 「✧credits/sources✧」 ✧ MAJOR INSPIRATION FROM: the game "omori", created by omocat and team. the walking sprite design is by them, i simply made my own character in their style. the music is all from them too, with sound effects from the game "undertale" developed by toby fox. both of these games are my favorites, and my main inspirations for this project. ✧ sources for facts and inspiration: https://desktime.com/blog/why-you-should-listen-to-video-game-soundtracks-at-work/ https://coolmaterial.com/media/the-surprising-reason-you-should-listen-to-video-game-soundtracks-at-work/ https://www.bluelabellabs.com/blog/do-users-play-better-with-music-sound-fx/ ✧ thank you for reading. ✧ time taken: about 10 hours to design, code, and make visuals
Thanks to @comet-crusher for the original project「the power of video game sounds ✧ a short interactive game/slideshow (school project)」.
