Video Game Music

 My brother is making a game and he's relatively far through it. It's a clicker game but with slightly more to it as it basically has zombies coming towards a wall and the player has to click on the zombies to kill them and they can heal the wall as well as collect resources from the mine and this is all based on clicking things. They can also upgrade things. He wanted music for his game and gave me a specific brief on how he wanted it to work.  He wanted to have different levels of intensity depending on the amount of enemies on the screen and he wanted to have about 6 different 8 second loops per intensity level. The minimum amount of intensity levels would be around three (although there would probably be more) which means a minimum of 18 different loops to suit the intensity. He wants all of the loops to be able to naturally lead into any of the other loops so that it doesn't sound disjointed or strange.  He sent me four references of music that he wants it to be like...

We listened through and she explained to me which bits she thought ought to be cut in order to make the episode shorter and it was very productive and we managed to finish it by the end of the session. The only other problem that arose was that one of the voices was...

  See Tyler collaborative project here See Madison collaborative project here MCing for Unplugged - me and Toby introducing all of the different performances - Toby is more confident than me and I think will be better at being entertaining in between performances  - I know Toby relatively well but I've never worked with him so I don't know how reliable he is - I much prefer doing this with Toby as I think I wouldn't be good under the pressure of being by myself - However, it's good I'm doing this as it'll make me more confident and adaptable in the future  /12/03/2025/ We discussed the script and Toby asked if I could do the MCing by myself with him writing the script and I said that this was fine but, not wanting to do it by myself, I asked Tyler to do it with me and he agreed. The plan is for Toby to write the script and then I'll go over it with him next Wednesday and Tyler will look over it once it's been finished.  /19/03/2025/ Toby showed me how fa...
