Project Theta (RPG devlog) Chapter Sixteen: Soundtrap > Chrome Music Lab

Hello Everyone!

In this edition of where did my slacking off lead me to this time, I have found a new tool. Yes...I have found Soundtrap. Honestly, I don't remember how I found it, I just did. One minute I was trying to do art, the next I randomly find a music tool. So yes, I am now using Soundtrap instead of Chrome Music Lab for my music. Why might you ask? Because Chrome Music Lab can only play two instruments at once and that was kind of getting annoying. So yes, we have a tool change. Soundtrap is like Bosca Ceoil except it's on a website. It's better than Chrome Music Lab so I'm going with it. I'll leave a comparison in the files below!

So, now to talk about progress. Here's the list of stuff I've done in bullet point format because I think that's easier to read (and write)

 - Art

• Path finished
• Shadows for players, rat, bat, buildings, and some other objects completed
• Grass remade

 - Music

• Found a new tool
• Edited some of the music I had.

 - Code

• Just some repetitive stuff coded so I can copy and paste

So yeah, not a whole lot, but I've made progress. Here's a list of stuff to do before the next devlog

 - Art

• New enemy done!
• All tilesets/area assets done!
• Anything else I can get finished

 - Music

• All current music edited and made nice
• Get at least one new area background sound done
• Find at least 5 sfx that I need

 - Code

• Get a start on the new enemies AI
• Have area transitions done and reusable
• Any extra stuff that I can get done

So I have lots to do and 2 days to get it all done. Here's some of the assets I have (you can download the music below to listen and compare the two tools. There's more music and art in the discord too!

• Art

A visual of how the assets are meshing (The shadows should be on the rest of the buildings and people but aren't because piskel is confusing. Just pretend for now. Also that is not what the font will be in case anyone is worried.)
