<br />
This will be the last article on this blog. Don't worry, I still work on the game, but I set up a whole new blog at this address:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.oneiricworlds.com/en">http://www.oneiricworlds.com/en</a></span></b></div>
<br />
I also translated it in French (I still have to translate a few very old posts):<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.oneiricworlds.com/fr"><span style="font-size: x-large;">http://www.oneiricworlds.com/fr</span></a></b> </div>
<br />
If you had subscribed to mail delivery, your email adress has been automatically registered to the new mailing list. You have nothing to do, except if you want to switch to the French newsletter. In which case... feel free to do so on the new French blog.<br />
<br />
I hope you'll like this visual update :)<br />

<br />
I'm still working on the game! Crazy isn't it?<br />
<br />
Recently, and after many feedbacks I had, I've been trying to rework the fighting system to make it more fun and "punchy" (more effects, more feedback), and I also changed a few controls.<br />
<br />
Among other things:<br />
<br />
1 - The character "slides" much less than before when attacking<br />
<br />
2 - Hits trigger a micro-freeze and some kind of vibration feel on the enemy, resulting in a much more convincing power strike. I got this by carefully watching ultra slow-motion videos of Street Fighter. They achieve to convey so much energy to each character move that I spent hours carefully studying how it was done. This was super instructive.<br />
<br />
3 - The super attack now has more visual effects<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kJzpfQ0IFoQ/VqsuFDlUfQI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/zTMr0XYGr8Y/s1600/20160111_131204.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kJzpfQ0IFoQ/VqsuFDlUfQI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/zTMr0XYGr8Y/s400/20160111_131204.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<i style="text-align: center;"><br /></i>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="text-align: center;">A new effect for the super attack</i></div>
<br />
<i style="text-align: center;"><br /></i>
4 - Enemies now have a super attack too, and it can't be blocked. You can only run away from it. It's not that difficult when fighting a single enemy, but it gets much more complicated when there are many of them. You'll have to adapt your strategies!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_ERaYKMfFcI/Vqs3GZMIwEI/AAAAAAAAAKE/fcZ7_7gY5Fo/s1600/20160129_105205.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="222" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_ERaYKMfFcI/Vqs3GZMIwEI/AAAAAAAAAKE/fcZ7_7gY5Fo/s400/20160129_105205.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Get away...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R9BHU-BAZmQ/Vqs3IKZLOgI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/wzhNksbMAp0/s1600/20160129_105206.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="222" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R9BHU-BAZmQ/Vqs3IKZLOgI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/wzhNksbMAp0/s400/20160129_105206.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Boom</i></div>
<br />
5 - I tried to balanced the fighting by giving each attack a possible counter. I learnt a lot about fight system designs on David Sirling website (http://www.sirlin.net/articles/designing-yomi). This guy worked on re-balancing of the old Street Fighter II game. Crazy good work to learn from!<br />
<br />
6 - Blocking now uses some magnetic energy, and you can't block for ever without moving/escaping to recover energy. This changes a lot the way to tackle fights.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Sadly, trying to improve the fighting system broke a few things, and I'll have to balance again attack power, speed and other parameters. Plus, I'll have to adapt the tutorials in the Bo Dojo one day or the other.<br />
<br />
But anyways! I hope the game keeps getting better and better.<br />
<br />
Peace!<br />

<br />
This week-end I took part in the <a href="http://ludumdare.com/">Ludum Dare</a> contest, a video game creation challenge that lasts 72 hours. I haven't been able to work for the whole duration, but I found some time to create a little game for the contest: "The Child Spirit". The theme was "Growing, two button controls". I made everything from scratch (except the soundscape) in more or less 25h.<br />
<br />
<br />

<h3>
Goal</h3>
The "Child Spirit" is a simple non linear runner game where you play a
fox. You must find animals and get back the Forest Spirit who is
leaving.
The goal is more or less in line with the "growing"
theme, as you're supposed to grow a herd of the forest animals.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Controls</h3>
<ul>
<li>Space or S : jump</li>
<li>Return or D : switch direction </li>

<h3>
Install Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li><b>Linux</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Under Linux, you have to change the execution rights on the game file:<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">chmod +x aThiefsMelody.*</span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Mac OS</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Haha... I didn't test on Mac, because I don't have a
Mac. But the beauty of Unity is that I can release on Mac from a Windows
system anyway.<br />
So, if Mac users out there want to give it a try and tell me what's wrong (or what's right, hopefully ;) ), you're most welcome!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
What's new since the last demo? </h3>
You have to know the demo quests
are more or less final at the moment. The next official demos
(including this one) will only provide bug fixes and
graphics/sound/music enhancement. I now focus my work on adding levels
and quests for the final release, which won't be visible in this demo (especially new content).<br />
<br />
The main new things I've done since October 2015 are:<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Content </b><br />
<ul>
<li>1 new Boss : the Wind Guardian</li>
<li>Prototype of the new Boss arena </li>
<li>Upgrade of the hero design: now the character has a face and you can see the wind moving his hair and clothes. And his eyes blink too.</li>
<li>Master Josh now tells you to look in the 1st tutorial</li>
<li>More dialog lines for Tal and Iris</li>
<li>Upgrade of the Bo Dojo graphics: water stains with moving plants behind, lights, lanterns, light rays and fireflies</li>
<li>Update of the link messages HUD, now showing avatars and enabling a better browsing among messages.</li>
<li>Graphical update of the Eagle level: texture variations and adding an eagle-shaped rock on top of the level.</li>
<li>Adding small secret coves in the demo levels </li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Code & optimisation </b><br />
<ul>
<li>Fix of the mouse wheel controls on the map</li>
<li>Fog issue fixes for various shaders</li>
<li>Fix of the bug where the character jumps on the edge of a cliff and stays blocked in the walking animation preventing him to climb</li>
<li>Lots of minor bug fixes</li>
</ul>
... And a lot of work for the Toulouse Game show too (banners/kakemono design, tee shirt, booth preparation, visit cards, ...)<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
What's broken ?</h3>
<br />
You didn't expect everything to work perfectly, did you? I'm aware of a few bugs/regressions/problems:<br />
<ul>
<li>You can't change the default controls (because of the newly
supported joypads). I plan to add a configuration screen later. If you
try to change the controls in the popup screen appearing at the start of
the game, you might totally break joypad support.</li>
<li>Joypads work, but the UI help is still designed for keyboard/mouse. So... just test buttons if you want to play on the joypad! </li>
<li>Some shaders don't work correctly on Linux and MacOS, among which the tree rendering. </li>
<li>Environments are still a bit empty </li>
<li>Some sounds must be re-designed </li>
<li>The game lacks some music/sounds </li>
<li>Some camera moves are a bit harsh/weird</li>
</ul>

<h3>
Install Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li><b>Linux</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Under Linux, you have to change the execution rights on the game file:<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">chmod +x aThiefsMelody.*</span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Mac OS</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Haha... I didn't test on Mac, because I don't have a
Mac. But the beauty of Unity is that I can release on Mac from a Windows
system anyway.<br />
So, if Mac users out there want to give it a try and tell me what's wrong (or what's right, hopefully ;) ), you're most welcome!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
What's new since the last demo? </h3>
You have to know the demo quests
are more or less final at the moment. The next official demos
(including this one) will only provide bug fixes and
graphics/sound/music enhancement. I now focus my work on adding levels
and quests for the final release, which won't be visible in this demo (especially new content).<br />
<br />
The main new things I've done since July 2015 are:<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Content </b><br />
<ul>
<li>1 new boss: the Robot Kraken</li>
<li>Chapter 2 is now fully playable, including 2 dojos, 2 missions and 1 additional quest. Not everything is perfect yet, but at least, it's playable! It's more or less 1h30 of gameplay.</li>
<li>New chapter title screens</li>
<li>More ill animals on Zephyr Island and Eagle Island</li>
<li>Enemy state (KO) is now saved </li>
<li>Finally a trailer for the game! Check it out on the <a href="http://www.oneiricworlds.com/">official website</a>.</li>
<li>More cutscenes are skippable</li>
<li>The map now has a legend</li>
<li>1 new level: the Governor's villa, fully playable, but still lacks lot of graphics.</li>
<li>Lots of new assets: spider webs, marble pilars, windows, carpets, furniture, cardboard boxes, shelves, chairs, tables, maple trees ... and as usual, wood crates of course.</li>
<li>The mouse is more sensitive now</li>
<li>Shorter delay before magnetic gauntlet reloads</li>
<li>Full new <a href="http://www.oneiricworlds.com/">official website</a> for the game with a clearer information display, in English and in French + updated portfolio</li>
<li>The game should now be compatible with 20+ classical joypads, including Xbox 360 pads. Sadly, this new update removes the possibility to change controls, at least for this release. I'll add a configuration screen later.</li>
<li>New screenshot feature capturing images up to 12000 x 9000 px (just for me ;) ). I use it to get graphical material for huge posters (yes I'm preparing for the Toulouse Game Show...)</li>
<li>New option to invert the camera Y axis</li>
<li>"New game" available from the in-game menu</li>
<li>"A Thief Melody" becomes "A Thief's Melody", because it was a mistake from me... Thanks to everybody who notified me.</li>
</ul>
<b>Code & optimisation </b><br />
<ul></ul>
<ul>
<li>Fix calling turtle in closed water zones</li>
<li>Optimisation of the mines level</li>
<li>Lots of bug fixes on the climbing system </li>
<li>Bug fix of the hero walking on jars when attacking</li>
<li>Better fog rendering in the main menu</li>
<li>Fixes on available action during tutorials</li>
<li>Lots lots lots of various bug fixes </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
What's broken ?</h3>
<br />
You didn't expect everything to work perfectly, did you? I'm aware of a few bugs/regressions/problems:<br />
<ul>
<li>You can't change the default controls (because of the newly supported joypads). I plan to add a configuration screen later. If you try to change the controls in the popup screen appearing at the start of the game, you might totally break joypad support.</li>
<li>Joypads work, but the UI help is still designed for keyboard/mouse. So... just test buttons if you want to play on the joypad! </li>
<li>The mouse wheel behaves weirdly in the map. Prefer the keyboard or joypad for zoom.</li>
<li>Some shaders don't work correctly on Linux and MacOS, among which the tree rendering. </li>
<li>Environments are still a bit empty </li>
<li>Some sounds must be re-designed </li>
<li>The game lacks some music/sounds </li>
<li>Some camera moves are a bit harsh/weird</li>
</ul>

<br />
You might already know about it, but I've done my first real video game show/exhibition! It was very nice to meet so many passionate people! I know it was a month ago, but I wanted to share info about it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Pau Anime Game Show</h3>
<br />
I was a bit stressed about how people would perceive my game, but it went very well. Everybody took the time to explain me what was cool or not about my game and what I could do to make it better. So thanks a lot to everybody who took the time to drop by my booth.<br />
<br />
Now I know what I have to improve for the next releases!<br />
<br />
By the way, thanks a lot to my colleagues and friends of Toulouse Game Dev and Toulouse Game Show for all the organisation. It was great! Now the next deadline is the Toulouse Game Show at the end of November.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>My booth, with 2 young testers! Thanks a lot to them!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Yeah, I know that I should do better on presentation. I'm going to improve for the next show!</i></div>
<br />
<br />
And you know what? Spending 2 days speaking all the time to explain the game to everybody who comes by... it's really exhausting! What a job! And the PAGS is supposed to be a "small" show... :S How lucky I've been!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Let's Play </h3>
<br />
During the PAGS, I also met many young youtubers who wanted to make playtests/let's plays of the game. So if you want to have a look at the game with player comments, check out those links (in French):<br />
<a class="in-cell-link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP_kTZhbo94" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP_kTZhbo94</a><br />

<a class="in-cell-link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvLZEd22-hU" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvLZEd22-hU</a><br />
<br />
Thanks to you all guys!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Press releases</h3>
<br />
And for the first time of my life I was interviewed by 2 press teams about the game. This was pretty surprising for me; I wasn't really prepared for it, but that was a very nice experience. So here's a link to my first press article (in French):<br />
<a href="http://www.jessica-f.com/geek/pags-gaming-thief-melody-kaaarot/">http://www.jessica-f.com/geek/pags-gaming-thief-melody-kaaarot/</a><br />
<br />
That's a nice start :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Bonus: improved website</h3>
<br />
That's all for today, but I'm working on lots of things that I should be able to share very soon.<br />
OK, you read until here, so I can tell you there's a new website that I redesigned after the show, to take into account all the questions I was asked. Check it out:<br />

<br />
It's been a a while :) It's always difficult to keep posting regularly. So, today, here's a timelapse of me creating a wooden crate for the game. This gives a good idea of how I work to create all the 3D art in my game.<br />

<br />
Here's a quick post to tell you about 2 things.<br />
<br />
<h3>
I - Greenlit</h3>
<br />
First, I've recently been greenlit on Steam! This is a very recomforting news for me, as it provides me a great online platform to distribute my game. For the record, I submitted my game to Steam Greenlight one year ago, and, after 1300 positive votes from the 9000 players who checked out my game, Steam accepted to distribute it.<br />
<br />
This is a huge chance for me, because Steam is THE leader in online PC game distribution, reaching more than 30 millions gamers. It's the equivalent of the AppStore for PC. Now... I have to finish the game :)<br />
<br />
<h3>
II - Presentation in Paris</h3>
<br />
And more recently, I've been kindly invited in Paris by my old school friend Jesse to talk about my job at the Gamelier, a weekly meeting about video game creation. So I made a little talk session about being an indie, and how my everyday life is. So, for the curious people, here's the video IN FRENCH:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J4o6ZmlptPI/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J4o6ZmlptPI?feature=player_embedded" width="560"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
I hope you'll find something interesting in there!<br />

<ul>
<li>Environments are still a bit empty</li>
<li>Some sounds must be re-designed </li>
<li>The game lacks some music/sounds </li>

</ul>
<br />
<br />

<br />
It's been a while since the last post... I must post more often!<br />
<br />
<h3>
I - New Name</h3>
<br />
OK so the first and main news is that World of Thieves (which was a temporary name... ) will now be known as<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Ux0AmB9l6E/VQM9z4hL7BI/AAAAAAAAI8E/9k6k5I4Ve7w/s1600/aThiefMelody3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Ux0AmB9l6E/VQM9z4hL7BI/AAAAAAAAI8E/9k6k5I4Ve7w/s1600/aThiefMelody3.png" height="173" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Yes! This will be the new official logo/title of the game. <br />
<br />
I spent quite sometime thinking whether I should change the name or not... And finally I thought that "World of Thieves" might not be very well suited for a game where you don't see that many thieves. Plus, I wanted something that conveyed the idea of music, because I like it, and moreover because it will be a part of the gameplay, and maybe of the story too.<br />
<br />
I wanted an efficient and simple visual, and I hope this one is clear enough. And as you might get it from the picture, yes, the hero will be able to play the flute. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
II - New Site</h3>
<br />
Well... not a whole new site! I can't afford to make a new site for each post ;)<br />
I recently watched a conference about "marketing for indies with 0$ budget" from Emmy Jonassen (aka Indie Game Girl). Here, for the curious guys:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkEQtMP2CuA"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkEQtMP2CuA</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I already read a lot about the subject, but having a new name and new screenshots, it motivated me to create a real "official" landing page for "A Thief Melody" (Yes, get used to it). From now on, it will be the default page for the "Oneiric Worlds" website:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.oneiricworlds.com/"><img alt="www.oneiricworlds.com" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pkqsp4tUP8w/VQP1vvuXDJI/AAAAAAAAI8k/10GsXmTnLkw/s1600/20150314_newhomePage.jpg" height="282" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.oneiricworlds.com/aThiefMelody/">http://www.oneiricworlds.com/aThiefMelody/</a></span></div>
<br />
Or you can use the "A Thief Melody" menu on the header. (Don't worry you can still get to the dev blog from this new homepage).<br />
<br />
Basically, there are dowload links to get the latest demo (which is always the same by the way), social network links and a few screenshots and info about the game. I also plan to add a trailer, but I still have to create it, so this will be for later.<br />
<br />
Until now, the Dev Blog was the homepage, and the somehow chaotic
and numerous information might have got most of the visitors confused
about the game, especially if their are not into tech stuff.<br />
<br />
So, I hope this page is clear enough to get a good overview of the game. Tell me what you think about it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
III - New Networks</h3>
<br />
If you watched the above web page, you might have noticed new icons for social networks if you want to get the latest news: <a href="https://twitter.com/oneiricworlds">Twitter </a>and <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/115163080421827412599/posts">Google +</a>.<br />
I'm not sure if I'll be able to post everything on all the communities, but I'll give it a try, see how many people respond to it/are interested, and see what I can handle.<br />
<br />
The thing is, old school RSS and mail subscriptions are not that many (but a big thanks to you guys, who were the first followers!), and I reach more people through sites like Facebook or IndieDB, which are easier for people to follow. <br />
<br />
And of course, these accounts are new, so there is not much to read at the moment, but I will repost at least every blog article and new demos on these sites.<br />
<br />
<br />
OK so this was a post mostly centered on communication and marketing stuff,
but don't worry, I still work on the tech and artistic side and the
game is slowy improving. Check out the <a href="http://www.oneiricworlds.com/">last screenshots on the new homepage</a>! More on that on another post!<br />
<br />
Peace, and thanks for your support. <br />

<br />
<h3>
MAC OS X and Linux are back</h3>
<br />
It's been a while since I haven't posted a release for MacOS and Linux, so here they are! I recently optimized the demo filesize, so I can post 3 downloads again.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Linux</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Under Linux, you have to change the execution rights on the game file:<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">chmod +x worldOfThieves.x86</span></span><br />
<br />
If you use this 32-bit version of the game on a 64-bit operating system,<br />
you may also have to install 32-bit libraries. <br />
I was successful with the following commands:<br />
On Ubuntu:<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">sudo apt-get install ia-libs</span></span><br />
On Fedora:<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">yum install libstdc++.x86</span></span><br />
... which doesn't seem to be the exact same thing. But it did the trick for me.<br />
<br />
By
the way, I noticed the game is really slow on my Linux systems. It was
only playable with the lowest quality settings possible. Maybe this is
due to my graphic drivers, but I'll have to test further. It even
crashed at the beginning of the pirate warehouse level. Don't hesitate
to tell me if you experiment such problems.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Mac OS</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Haha... I didn't test on Mac, because I don't have a
Mac. But the beauty of Unity is that I can release on Mac from a Windows
system anyway.<br />
So, if Mac users out there want to give it a try and tell me what's wrong (or what's right, hopefully ;) ), you're most welcome!<br />
<br />
<h3>
What's new since the last demo? </h3>
You have to know the demo quests are more or less final at the moment. The next official demos (including this one) will only provide bug fixes and graphics/sound/music enhancement. I now focus my work on adding levels and quests for the final release.<br />
<br />
The main new things (most of which can't be seen in the demo) are:<br />
<ul>
<li>new animals: geckos and fennec fox</li>
<li>new characters: Turtle Master on Aqualums, Rodrig the retired pirate on Zephyr Island, both with full dialog tree and quests.</li>
<li>new enemies: guards and robots (still prototype)</li>
<li>new flower: lilypads</li>
<li>optimisation on my tools for level edition</li>
<li>automatic tests on very usual mistakes I tend to repeat on each release (systematic non-regression tests) </li>
<li>more avatars/images completed</li>
<li>dialogs can now use a dynamic camera</li>
<li>sun lens flares</li>
<li>use of real-time clothe animation for pirates headbands and guards hat</li>
<li>heavy optimisation on grass rendering, ia code, dynamic loading zones</li>
<li>optimized texture sizes, resulting in 50% smaller game files</li>
<li>use of deferred rendering which slightly boosts the framerate</li>
<li>trails appear when the player falls for a long time</li>
<li>saving the game now displays a screenshot</li>
<li>whole new level: mines, with a bunch of new textures and props, effects and gameplay items...</li>
<li>new island (quite empty at the moment) with its own dynamic skybox/light rig</li>
<li>design and integration of the 1st boss!</li>
<li>map display can now manage multiple floor levels</li>
<li>a few more props: bed, various jars, metal crates, books, plants at Iris', </li>
<li>new gameplay items: mine trolleys, lasers, energy-based switches, energy capsules, ...</li>
<li>bug fix on various shaders with depth-of-field effect</li>
<li>bug fix on several enemy freezes</li>
<li>various bug fixes on switchs/platforms dependency and state save (I bet there are still some of them in there...) </li>
<li>lots lots lots of minor bug fixes.</li>
</ul>
<br />
I spent quite some time trying to port every shader to DirectX 11, but I still have graphical artifacts despite the better overall performances.<br />
<br />
<h3>
What's broken ?</h3>
<br />
You didn't expect everything to work perfectly, did you? I'm aware of a few bugs/regressions:<br />
<ul>
<li>Environments are still a bit empty</li>
<li>Some sounds must be re-designed </li>
<li>The game lacks some music/sounds </li>
<li>You won't always know what switches activate especially in the Bo Trial Dungeon)... Try to understand :) </li>
<li>Some pirates may not be as aggressive as before in the pirate warehouse level. </li>
</ul>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Controls</h3>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>ZQSD or WASD</b>: move the character. It's both AZERTY and QWERTY compatible</li>
<li><b>Space</b>: jump and climb</li>

<br />
The demo filesize is getting bigger and bigger on every new release. That's
why I only share the Windows demo on this post. If you're really
interested in Linux/MacOS demos, send me a mail/comment/contact
form/whatever to tell me. But the final release will be on Windows, MacOS and Linux.<br />
<br />
<br />

Have fun! Peace!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10947771894615268634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373311595242129197.post-69445793772495081142014-07-03T11:59:00.001-07:002015-10-30T08:04:44.654-07:00Aqualums, the main islandHi there!<br />
<br />
It's been a while since I haven't posted anything game-dev related. But, don't worry, I won't write a very technical article this time. I'll just speak about a new content in the game: Aqualums, the main island (which is NOT the hero home, on which I still have to work by the way...)<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
I - Concept</h3>
<br />
So, for this new island, I had a precise idea in mind. I made some concept works using any tool I thought was good for the job: this included a textual description (in a text document), a color scheme and a logical/quest plan (in Inkscape), a digital concept art and a few traditional paper sketches. This is all very rough, but I wanted to have some kind of basis to set the mood. The goal is not to be perfect at this stage.<br />
<br />
So here are a few snapshots of my base material (in French for the text, sorry):<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lnAOpH4dnDg/U7WW-v9hbfI/AAAAAAAAIEQ/46u114qrqNg/s1600/20140703_aqualums.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lnAOpH4dnDg/U7WW-v9hbfI/AAAAAAAAIEQ/46u114qrqNg/s1600/20140703_aqualums.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a><i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Of course, a real concept artist would be horrified by this... Everything is loose, perspective is off, and texts are full of mistakes. BUT, this gives me a good idea of the way I want to go. And I don't have the time to make it better anyways :p.</i></div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
II - Prototyping </h3>
<br />
So right after this, I jumped into the "blocking" phase: the goal is simply to create ugly 3D blocks to check the dimensions and proportions of the island. Not very pretty, but very useful to make the first tests in the game and "feel" the level.<br />
<br />
Here's how it looks in the game:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vv4fvMY4ubE/U7WZDc6AL1I/AAAAAAAAIEk/4HBChZDDc6U/s1600/20140625_114932.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vv4fvMY4ubE/U7WZDc6AL1I/AAAAAAAAIEk/4HBChZDDc6U/s1600/20140625_114932.png" height="376" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The block level. If you look carefully, you may spot 3D texts here and there. It's just a hint (for me) to know what I'll put there in the final graphics.</i></div>
<br />
<br />
In this stage, I can also check the masses and forms of the buildings and see if there are mainly good visual compositions from the player point of view. The camera/player moves of course, but I just check that there aren't any ugly/unbalanced spots. I also tried to avoid a too square-y plan of the city. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
III - Finalizing </h3>
<br />
And once everything seems OK, I start to create the final graphics, using textures, and finer 3D modelisation: <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C7vZddJtDeQ/U7WY2YIX6vI/AAAAAAAAIEc/ETn5bz7Q4-0/s1600/20140626_modelisationAqualums.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C7vZddJtDeQ/U7WY2YIX6vI/AAAAAAAAIEc/ETn5bz7Q4-0/s1600/20140626_modelisationAqualums.jpg" height="350" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The island during the refining step: some blocks are still there, but I slowly replace them by cartoonish houses (with no windows at this point)</i> </div>
<br />
This process is very long! And lucky for me, I already had a lot of wood and stone textures as well as nice wood pontoons from the previous levels. Of course, I reused some of the items, but not all of them! I don't want this island to have the same look as the other ones. So I also had to create new items: bridges, carpets, a tree, small boats, paper lanterns... There are currently 1300 objets in this level... for now.<br />
<br />
The thing is, creating a graphical appearance is good, but this is not enough for a game. I must specify other properties for some of the elements in there: Is it solid? Can the hero collide with it? Does it move? If yes, how?<br />
<br />
And some elements have a complex appearance/rendering stage (the tree for example), so, in the end, I also had to code additionnal stuff to create a believable city in the game: flying leaves around the tree, occasional halo around swinging lanterns, and of course, I had to optimize everything to make it run smoothly enough. Because, I'll have to add characters on top of that.<br />
<br />
And the final look is like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Emcf4spQqY4/U7Wa5HxhFuI/AAAAAAAAIE8/RuAjlbqJND4/s1600/20140630_200655.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Emcf4spQqY4/U7Wa5HxhFuI/AAAAAAAAIE8/RuAjlbqJND4/s1600/20140630_200655.png" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ElZ8huER2mQ/U7Wa2O_88LI/AAAAAAAAIE0/LC0oyn6aO6I/s1600/20140630_200737.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ElZ8huER2mQ/U7Wa2O_88LI/AAAAAAAAIE0/LC0oyn6aO6I/s1600/20140630_200737.png" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Soooo finally, this took me nearly a week of work (I only talk about blocking and finalizing; concepts were done long before and went through a lot of changes). But, at this point, you can't do anything in this city, except walk/climb around. And you can't go inside any of the buildings. Useless, isn't it?<br />
<br />
<h3>
IV - Other stuff</h3>
<br />
In addition to this new island, I also worked on various stuff, including (but not limited to):<br />
<ul>
<li>A redesign of the "Link" menu with a better inventory, map navigation and other surprises</li>
<li>A redesign of some weapons (slingshot and bow)</li>
<li>New items: a magnetic bow and a flute</li>
<li>A new character giving a "collecting" sidequest</li>
<li>A very big ocean animal to track (more on that later)</li>
<li>Better smoke effects on bombs, </li>
<li>2 new musics for ocean exploration and for the Eagle Islands</li>
<li>And more recently a new sky/cloud system. By the way, the city above looks like this now:</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Yes you can ride a turtle in the canals of the city.</i></div>
<br />
In the end, it's kinda cool to see that I started with a simple text paragraph describing the city and it's finally taking shape! But the work is not finished yet...<br />
<br />
So that's all for today!<br />
Peace :)<br />

<br />
This is just a quick post to share a little presentation I made in a secondary school to introduce the job of "game developer" to young guys between 11 et 15 years old. By the way, thanks a lot to my friend Mathieu for inviting me and thanks also to his colleague Richard! And of course, thanks a lot to all the pupils of the computer science club of Jacqueline Auriol school in Villeneuve for their enthusiam.<br />
It was really fun to discuss with them. It's quite funny to see that they had the exact same questions I had in mind when I was their age... <br />
<br />
For the curious guys out there, I share my presentation here below:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.oneiricworlds.com/media/presentation/creationJeuVideo.pdf"><img alt="http://www.oneiricworlds.com/siteResources/presentation/creationJeuVideo.pdf" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c7s6cedUqSo/U5gVr3Bh-NI/AAAAAAAAH8s/BOCv34-WL1o/s1600/cover.jpg" height="238" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It's in French and it's a very introductory/simple presentation, but if it can be of some interest to somebody... <br />
And surprisingly enough, it was quite difficult to prepare this presentation, because I had so much to say, but I had to simplify a lot the complexity of the problem to make it understandable for teenagers. A very interesting exercise! <br />
<br />
Apart from that, I still work on my game of course. But more on that later!<br />
<br />
Peace! <br />

Install Notes</h3>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Linux</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Under Linux, you have to change the execution rights on the game file:<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">chmod +x worldOfThieves.x86</span></span><br />
<br />
If you use this 32-bit version of the game on a 64-bit operating system,<br />
you may also have to install 32-bit libraries. <br />
I was successful with the following commands:<br />
On Ubuntu:<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">sudo apt-get install ia-libs</span></span><br />
On Fedora:<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">yum install libstdc++.x86</span></span><br />
... which doesn't seem to be the exact same thing. But it did the trick for me.<br />
<br />
By
the way, I noticed the game is really slow on my Linux systems. It was
only playable with the lowest quality settings possible. Maybe this is
due to my graphic drivers, but I'll have to test further. It even
crashed at the beginning of the pirate warehouse level. Don't hesitate
to tell me if you experiment such problems.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Mac OS</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Haha... I didn't test on Mac, because I don't have a
Mac. But the beauty of Unity is that I can release on Mac from a Windows
system anyway.<br />
So, if Mac users out there want to give it a try and tell me what's wrong (or what's right, hopefully ;) ), you're most welcome!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
What's new since the last demo? </h3>
<br />
A lot less than for the last demo, since it's been only 1 month since then. And it's still a lot of "core invisible thankless" stuff:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>different font for dialogs and HUD/GUI</li>
<li>slow motion to accentuate the character KO/game over</li>
<li>big jump landing animation</li>
<li>turtle travelling (see the <a href="http://home.oneiricworlds.com/2014/04/turtle-travelling.html">detailed last post</a>) with various feedback effects (not in the demo)</li>
<li>cyclic/infinite map (not in the demo)</li>
<li>floating barrels and crates that can be crashed by the turtle (not in the demo)</li>
<li>new barrel design </li>
<li>moving platforms (not in the demo)</li>
<li>better visual feedback when curing animals (not in the demo)</li>
<li>recoding/debugging of the slide movement on slopes when the character can't climb (I bet you didn't even notice that the character could slide, did you?)</li>
<li>lots of bug fixes on the climbing and graple aiming algorithm</li>
<li>bug fix on the water splashes when the character falls into water </li>
<li>bombs can hit the player (not in the demo)</li>
<li>lots of optimisations on animals and pirates reducing the computation time by 70%</li>
<li>other optimisation on various objects, making the game running smoother</li>
<li>lots lots lots of "minor" bug fixes: music volume transitions, avoid sound saturation, avoid slow camera moves when fastest render quality is selectionned, fixed locally inverted image on several graphical effects under Linux, better state transitions for the player, better gamepad compatibility during weapon selection, switch activation from slingshot, many other fixes...</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
What's broken ?</h3>
<br />
You didn't expect everything to work perfectly, did you? I'm aware of a few bugs/regressions:<br />
<ul>
<li>The inventory is not fully functionnal yet: you have to use the
keyboard to change the current page (missions/inventory/map) but the
mouse to select items inside each page. And sometimes the current page
changes when you click somewhere else.</li>
<li>The color of the slingshot target is not always accurate depending on what you aim.</li>
</ul>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Controls</h3>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>ZQSD or WASD</b>: move the character. It's both AZERTY and QWERTY compatible</li>
<li><b>Space</b>: jump and climb</li>
<li><b>Shift</b>: crouch and block </li>
<li><b>Mouse move</b>: move the camera</li>
<li><b>E</b>: weapon selection menu(useless in this demo)</li>
<li><b>Left click</b>: main weapon (Bo) or contextual action</li>
<li><b>Right click</b>: secondary weapon</li>
<li><b>Tab</b>: inventory/map/missions</li>
</ul>

Have fun! Peace!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10947771894615268634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373311595242129197.post-12693599495481085292014-04-28T14:43:00.001-07:002015-10-30T08:04:44.579-07:00Turtle travellingHello everyone,<br />
<br />
These last days, I've been working on 2 new features in the game:<br />
<ul>
<li>Travelling on the back of a turtle</li>
<li>Having a cyclic world (well, technically, this is a torus)</li>
</ul>
OK, these 2 features are slightly linked...<br />
<br />
<h3>
I - The Turtle</h3>
<br />
At some point in the game, the player can travel the whole world without restriction. Of course, this means he can't only swim because it would be waaaaay too slow. So I wanted to create a cool means of travelling... and, thinking about my creation creed "freedom, humour, oneiric", I chose to make him ride a turtle! I first created the 3D model in Blender and the texture in GIMP as usual.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8uwvRKpYJFY/U16kUWIE31I/AAAAAAAAH1g/AG28IDRig9c/s1600/20140428_turtle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8uwvRKpYJFY/U16kUWIE31I/AAAAAAAAH1g/AG28IDRig9c/s1600/20140428_turtle.jpg" height="217" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Another texture far from optimized...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But creating a new feature is not that easy. A lot of questions are raised about this turtle:</div>
<ul>
<li>How is it controlled? </li>
<li>How fast should it be? How long would a player travel between islands without being bored? How can I reconcile this with the minimum necessary distance between islands to be sure that I don't clutter memory or slow down the game? </li>
<li>Can the player use items while being on the turtle back? If yes, which ones?</li>
<li>Can the player jump? Or crouch? Is it interesting/useless?</li>
<li>How can the player switch from the turtle riding to swimming?</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I didn't answer to all of these questions, but I made a few choices. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I implemented the same kind of controls for the turtle as for the player. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Using the Bo (the melee weapon) seemed kind of useless on the turtle's back. Range weapons, however, can be interesting for water fights. The problem is that shooting from the turtle back at high speed gives the impression that all projectiles are very slow in comparison... It's even possible for the turtle to be faster than an arrow.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I set up 2 different travelling speeds:</div>
<ul>
<li>At low speed, the player can shoot</li>
<li>At higher speed, no shooting is possible, but the turtle can quickly travel between islands.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uzVLKXaF7Qk/U168YIIxUVI/AAAAAAAAH2A/6CkhE1d4wgo/s1600/20140428_223735.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uzVLKXaF7Qk/U168YIIxUVI/AAAAAAAAH2A/6CkhE1d4wgo/s1600/20140428_223735.png" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The turtle in-game.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In order to give more feedback to the player while travelling on the turtle, I used lots of little tricks:</div>
<ul>
<li>Foam and ripples behind the turtle</li>
<li>Little water splashes </li>
<li>Random bigger water splashes</li>
<li>Water trail behind the fins</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And for the highest speed</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Wind trails around the turtle</li>
<li>Shorter camera focal length</li>
<li>Fish eye effect to accentuate the speed feel</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And in both cases, additionnal turtles randomly spawn around to accompany the player for a few seconds. This gives a bit of life to the travel!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tYW11Ry0nN0/U169di7ataI/AAAAAAAAH2M/4QqBrK1HInY/s1600/20140428_162235.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tYW11Ry0nN0/U169di7ataI/AAAAAAAAH2M/4QqBrK1HInY/s1600/20140428_162235.png" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
II - Cyclic world</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If the player can go everywhere on his turtle, this raises the question of the world limits. I can simply put some kind of uncrossable wall/mountain/obstacle at the edge of the map, but I don't like this idea. It goes against the freedom feeling I want to give to the player.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I chose to make a cyclic/tile-able world. The idea is that if the player leaves the map on a side, it re-appears on the other side. Basically, this is a "simple" translation of the player. However, there is a lot of other objects to "teleport" to the other side of the map: particle effects around the turtle, other turtles, all the projectiles that the player can shoot, and of course the camera, which is a bit tricky, because it has a very smooth movement based on previous position and velocity that I must recompute after teleportation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another problem is that there is a specific kind of object that I can't translate: trails... because they are dynamically computed in the world space and I can't access the information of vertex position (this is a limitation of Unity, I guess because it is cached in the GPU in some way). So I can't move them, and I can't recreate them on the other side of the map by copying and translating vertex positions.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If I don't teleport the trails, this creates a very visible glitch during teleportation: they suddenly disappear. I finally chose to make them disappear progressively while the player approaches the map border, which is hardly noticeable.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If the player sails exactly on a
border, a new problem appears: I don't want to teleport him on nearly every frame (this can
be a heavy operation depending on the number of objects to teleport). So, I wait for the player to go past X meters beyond the map border before teleporting him to X meter inside the opposite map border. This creates an "hysteresis" behaviour which prevents multiple teleportation calls and drastically improves the frame rate on map edges.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Additionally, instantly teleporting the player and the camera can create a break in the ocean animation. To avoid this behaviour, I had to carefully tune all ocean texture scales to be sure the global period matches the world size, but at the same time I wanted to avoid obvious repetitions... Another compromise to make by playing with prime numbers!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also had to work on a few other "little" things: adding wave/water sound
while moving the turtle, creating the "horn" sound which is used to
call the turtle (this will be justified in the story), collision tests
with islands, ... I can't talk about everything here!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And here's how it feels at the moment: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='560' height='315' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/QhmzpsT5oVM?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>You can notice the cyclic world thanks to the basic grass square island. Of course, in the end game, it will be real islands. This is only a technical test.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, riding the turtle is kinda cool! Of course, I should add more objects on the ocean to give it more life (floating barrels, plants, barges, boats, fishes, and other sea animals), but, each time, I'll have to deal with the teleportation problem. I'll also have to carefully position islands far enough from the map edges so that they won't suddenly appear when the player is teleported.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
See you next time!<br />
Peace!</div>

What's new since the last demo? </h3>
<br />
It's been 3 months since the last demo, so what's new you may ask? Well, probably nothing that you will notice :(... Because the main story, quests and levels are almost identical. So what did I do? I worked a lot on more core/fundamental stuff. This is the injustice of working on the development side... Almost all the work is invisible:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>smoother camera moves</li>
<li>better camera collisions</li>
<li>lots of feedback added during fights: camera shake, blur, vignetting and chromatic abberations when a hit is taken</li>
<li>visualisation of sound waves on impacts</li>
<li>various post-processing effects: depth of field, bloom and screen space ambient occlusion</li>
<li>speech bubbles for the pirates</li>
<li>crouch position for the hero</li>
<li>blocking skills for the hero and the enemies</li>
<li>better collision tests for the climbing moves</li>
<li>charge animation for the hero mega attack</li>
<li>a few more items (not usable in the demo however): bomb, flute, cure fruit</li>
<li>hud/gui improvement for contextual actions, hints and help</li>
<li>2 more collectable categories (not in the demo): ill animals that you'll have to cure (only sheeps at the moment) and flowers</li>
<li>control redesign for item use</li>
<li>black stripes during dialogs/cutscenes</li>
<li>fully open world with continuous dynamic background loading (you won't notice in the demo)</li>
<li>better path finding for enemies</li>
<li>music management system with music depending on the location of the player and with smooth audio transition between zones</li>
<li>a few more buildings on Tera Island and some funky sheeps</li>
<li>re-recording of the intro music with better sound and rythm quality</li>
<li>music for Tera Island</li>
<li>shoot cool down for range weapons</li>
<li>different target icons for each range weapon (not in the demo) </li>
<li>game (and menus) playable with a joypad</li>
<li>fog with dynamic color changing</li>
<li>flag with physical simulation on the Thief Guild </li>
<li>redesign of the day skybox</li>
<li>better rendering of far away objects</li>
<li>dynamic light variation of "thin" objects (grass, ropes, ...)</li>
<li>better answer selection in dialogs</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>

<br />
You didn't expect everything to be better did you? I'm aware of a few bugs/regressions:<br />

<li>The new camera positionning algorithm is nicer, but less stable. It totally crashes the game in some very specific locations and I can't spot why at the moment. I'm working on it...</li>
<li>On Linux, the image is locally reversed on impacts... This makes a strange effect. </li>
</ul>

<br />
After a long silence, I'm going to talk today about music in the game, and more specifically how I make it. I recently tried to re-record the intro music because I had made it quite quickly in the first place.<br />
<br />
<h3>
I - First audio tests: Ardour</h3>
<br />
For the first music recording, I used the Linux software "Ardour", which is the "equivalent" of Protools, a famous recording software in the audio/musical industry. It may not have all of its features, but it was enough for me. I quickly described this setup at the beginning of <a href="http://home.oneiricworlds.com/2013/08/cutscene-and-polish.html">this post</a>.<br />
<br />
The sound softwares are really great (and free) under linux, and they have a very different philosophy than the ones of Windows or Mac: they all rely on a "sound server" software (called JACK) which is designed to treat the audio information with a minimum delay to have a real-time response, but, above all, ALL audio softwares are compatible between them because they use the same Input/Output interface (relying on JACK, the sound server). So, under linux, each software has a speciality (audio recording, post processing, effects, synthetizers, drum pattern creation, score editing, midi recording) and you can mix them as you want, whereas on other OS, it is generally difficult to make softwares from concurrent companies communicate between themselves.<br />

<i>The incredibly powerful and intimidating interface of Ardour, the </i><i><i>reference of </i>audio recording softwares on Linux.</i></div>
<br />
However, in my case, the problem is, Ardour is above all an audio recording software, which means it is designed to record REAL instruments, if you have the good microphones, and hardware setup. It is very powerful, and I recorded the intro music with my simple Yamaha Keyboard, but I'm not a perfect musician, and I could hear a lot of mistakes (on the rhythm especially). In this case, there is no other solution than to re-record again and again to correct the mistakes. Moreover, I am limited to the (poor) sound quality of my little keyboard, which sounds a bit cheap.It's not a big problem in the kind of video game I plan to do (because, except in big productions, it's quite rare to have a symphonic orchestra recording the music), nevertheless, this poor sound quality annoyed me.<br />
<br />
Here is the first try of the intro theme recorded directly in audio from my keyboard: <br />

<br />
So after testing "real" instrument recording, I switched to another pipeline: MIDI recording.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
II - The promise of MIDI tools</h3>
<br />
As a lot of compositors, I finally chose to use a MIDI sequencer in order to create the musics. I use LMMS, a simple but powerful software from the Linux world (again) but which works also under Windows.<br />
<br />
[By the way, at the moment, I use it with Windows because my full pipeline production is a Windows-based (for development, graphics, audio...) but all the softwares I use also work under Linux... except Unity, my software development tool. But when they'll decide to port it to Linux, I can switch my full pipeline production under Linux for better stability while keeping the exact same softwares.]<br />
<br />
<b>Anyways, what is a MIDI sequencer?</b><br />
<br />
A MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) sequencer is a software that enables you to write/record musical scores, but in a simplified version (not the real classical notation, even if it is sometimes also possible): when I "record"/"write", the computer doesn't actually record the SOUND coming out of my Yamaha keyboard, it records the NOTE, its PITCH and DURATION (with a few more informations), and it creates a simplified musical score with these notes. The 3 big advantages of this method are:<br />
<ul>
<li>You can make many change AFTER having recorded the musical part: change the sound of the instrument by using what we call "soundfonts", change the tempo, ...</li>
<li>You can correct errors with a simple click on the score (move a note, change a duration, change the velocity...)</li>
<li>You can "quantize" the score, that is to say that every note is played with a perfect timing according to the tempo of the song (thus, there is no rhythm approximations).</li>
</ul>
<br />
Of course, not everything is perfect, but this new process simplifies a bit the musical creation.<br />
<br />
For each recorded instrument part, you have to select a "soundfont". This is pretty much the same thing than a "font" for a text except it doesn't define how characters will look like, it defines how notes will sound. This is some kind of instrument bank. And there are lots of them on the internet, with different qualities, sizes, and instrument types. In the end, I've got many more sounds available than the simple sounds from my Yamaha keyboard, with a better quality too.<br />
<br />

<i>The LMMS MIDI sequencer. In the left window, the blue segments represent different pattern/melody parts. Each line is a different instrument with different settings. For each blue segment, you can modify it note by note on the right window (the "piano roll") where you can add notes, delete them, move them, change their duration or velocity... As you can see, it's not a real musical score; the visual representation is quite simplified and intuitive.</i></div>
<br />
<h3>
III - Installing LMMS </h3>
<br />
[This part is a bit technical, so go to the next one if you want]<br />
<br />
So this seems quite cool, but setting up the software correctly took me some time, because I have a basic soundcard. Indeed, on Windows, the sound drivers always introduce some "lag" when recording from audio devices. It seems to be a known issue. Thus it is impossible to record from my keyboard because each note is systematically played 1/4 beat late. This drived me crazy.<br />
Fortunately, the ASIO company has some kind of "generic no lag driver" which seems to do the trick. But this new driver seemed not to be supported by LMMS natively. I had to find a precompiled DLL driver library with the ASIO driver support and replace the native LMMS DLL driver library.<br />
I wouldn't have had those problems under Linux, but this finally saved me a lot of reboots when working on audio composition.<br />
<br />
However the version of LMMS I got also had a MIDI recording problem with soundfonts tracks (Haaa, free software ;) ). But the community is great, and a new version correcting the problem was released a few days after.<br />
<br />
The last problem was using soundfonts. I found a huge soundfont with great quality but it needs more than 1.5 GB in memory (yes, you read well), and the 32-bit version of LMMS can't load it. So I finally had to re-setup my whole pipeline in 64 bits (LMMS + real-time DLL drivers). To this point, I still have a few audio output problems from time to time, but it's globally OK.<br />
<br />
Achieving to have a "stable" setup is sometimes long and difficult, but once it's done, you can finally work! Because yes, until now, I haven't produced anything. <br />
<br />
But after trying various instruments, learning how to use the software (I read the documentation and tutorials for a few hours), I finally could re-create the intro theme! And here is the same song than before, but recorded in MIDI with a better sound quality (I hope):<br />

All this work for this 1 mn of the same music... Depressing isn't it? But now I know I can easily create other music, and that's the good part. This first part took me several days to achieve, but after that, I created another test track in a few hours only. Meanwhile, I keep listening to the original soundtracks of my favorite games on youtube for hours to understand how they are built. Very enlightening :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
IV - Integrating the music in the game</h3>
<br />
Now I have musics of better quality, but how are they played in the game?<br />
In the game, I created a few different "musical zones". When the character enters a zone, it starts the corresponding music (with a little fading-in for a smooth start). An when the character leaves, it stops the music.<br />
But this is not as simple as that, because sometimes, I want a different music for a little cinematic taking place somewhere where there is already a musical zone. So I added some kind of priority information for nested musical zones. Moreover, I also have to deal with memory managerment (musics have a huge impact on memory use) and I must clean them when the character leaves a zone, especially now that the world is streamed into memory...<br />
<br />
Anyways, that's the basic process of creating a music for a video game. That was a bit complicated to setup (especially using LMMS under Windows with my poor sound card), but this should be easier now to create additional musics.<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot for reading until here, and see you next time, maybe for an updated demo!<br />
<br />
Peace.<br />
<br />
PS: The final news which made me depressed: the last version of Ardour (the soft I first used) now handles MIDI recording/editing... But I didn't see that before. Anyways, my work in MIDI is not lost, since I should be able to import it in the new Ardour version. I might give it a try one day, but I'll have to update all my linux installs. I guess I'm not finished with all that musical stuff... <br />
