Love it.  Excellent work, Pedders.  :mrgreen:

[leelustig]

that is so awesome!
However I'd rather see a snowy background than a desert. I assume though that you thought of that and this was all you could work with..
This game looks absolutely awesome. I wish it was on 360 though, I just cannot buy a PS3...

[Narek]

That was brilliant Pedro!

And I also love how you changed the Hyperventilate theme into 4/4, silly game doesn't know prog!

Good lord.  There we go, video sorted!

Nice one Ped!

JJJ

LOL

I have sooo many ideas re the musical content of some "puzzles" I could do - even with just the bits I have collected so far in the game.

The timing of the Hyper-V bit could indeed do with a little more adjustment but it is completely free-form (no 4/4 constraint in the game). The notes you hear are individually triggered as the sack-boy runs past the the white "speaker" objects, so a pixel or two left and right and the timing changes. Put him in a car and the tempo goes up.  
Other sounds collected so far include a sine-wave tone, bass and drum samples. The potential is quite large. For example, another layer of speaker objects on top of the ones above and there would be drums in the riff....

I just don't expect to be able to load actual music into it (mp3s or whatever) because uploading these to the world at large would open the can on copyright issues (and foul-mouth idiots, etc.).  

As for the background, with more time I could have manually "Frost*ed" the background of a winter scene but I chose one of the quick and easy ready-made "template" backgrounds. The thing is, I haven't played the one-player game far enough to collect the snow/winter template....yet.

Ooh! Fun!!!
So it'll play backwards if you run back the other way.... this could have been useful to Jem recently!

Yes, run back the other way and the tune is played in reverse order (not backwards samples of course).
They can also be triggered by a switch object, so I could have attached a switch object to, say, an Indiana Jones style ball and rolled that past to acheive the same effect....or attach it to a rocket powered car for really widdly passages!  
I'm not kidding, the only signiifcant limitations are imagination and patience.

Wow, that's awesome Pedro!

Ah, that's the answer I was looking for  :lol:

[Ash]

That was fantastic!  I really want a PS3 now... !!

[Brom]

Oh, just seen this, very well done Pedro! Not that I'm familiar with the territory... however the younger members here have enlightened me.

  Brilliant!

[gr8gonzo]

Everyone let Pedro get back to playing so he can collect more stuff!

Seeing a frost level made you want to spend $300  :lol:
thats awesome.
Frost could sell a PS3.

[gr8gonzo]

Maybe Sony will sponsor the tour.

After seeing the possibilities of a game like this (i.e. Frost* the Game), i regret being a Wii owner.

I've been looking at buying a PS3 as they have the more long-term game play. I love my Wii but i get bored with the games over time.

You gotta upload more when you get a chance
