Sometimes we do the music in-house, other times not. The music for this game (and the trailer) so far have been done in-house. We use Cubase mostly (with most sounds coming from East West Quantum Leap).
The trailer didn't show the other part of the game with the cards and stuff so I'm still curious to what that looks like. I'm guessing that wasn't ready yet ? For a minute I thought you cut that part of the game
Its definitely ready - its just with ~10s of game footage, showing an overhead view of moving army banners on some tiles isn't likely to grab anyone's attention In all seriousness without any context it would be hard to know what was going on if we just clipped to a video of that part of the game.
Oh, it's ready! They certainly didn't cut it out. I think they left that part of the game out because it has less action, as all armies on the overworld map are represented with a circle and a floating icon indicating that specific army/ship/airship. I feel like those watching the video in the App Store would feel less compelled by the boardgame-like setup of the overworld (though, from experience, I think both halves of the game are equally compelling ). This is just from a first impression standpoint. The overworld strategic half of the game had/has some bugs to sort out, but besides that, all aspects of the overworld map seem complete. That is, unless there's more content planned for this part of the game before release.
Quick update on the beta v2... sorry its taking so long! We've had some unforeseen personal issues crop up that have slowed down development a bit for the past 2 weeks or so. I think its looking like the beta v2 be sent out in another week or so (ie, not next week, but the week after), at this point. If you applied for the beta originally, we've got your name and will be doing another random drawing for around 30-50 people, so keep your eyes out for the beta emails within a week or 2!
Sweet. Anyways, about your music, it always has this original feel to it, that's how I spotted it. It always gets my heart pumping when I'm listening to this kind of music and makes your games... more funner??
Love seeing so many improvements on this game! Cannot wait until it comes out to the App Store! My iPhone is ready.
Thanks - yep! We're still hoping to have beta 2 out this week - just have a few last minute run throughs to make sure we didn't break anything with the latest changes
