I agree with Jed that it was not super clear what was driving stakeholder happiness - i assume likely the amount of tweaks to the original songs (like have more mods and more extreme mod settings)... Anyway I think this is a super original entry - and love the concept! It so nice to see an entry with music\/sound focus. I almost would expand this game into a bit more specific on what the trends are on Earth (like a few sound examples), and then dig those out and try to mimic to some way (or come up with a new trend or something). Great entry, really enjoyed playing - and nice leverage of sound tools!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1191665,"author_name":"BarnabeWild","author_uid":"barnabewild","epoch":1776694756,"text":"Great potential, I was not sure how to play the game and the sound were very low. the system is neat, had me intrigued!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1191728,"author_name":"kristinamay","author_uid":"kristinamay","epoch":1776695891,"text":"lol this was so silly! and really impressive compo game! I went to the rock and roll planet and got some music, wasn't totally sure how to edit it but flew my crappy recordings back to earth. they loved it!! i got enough money to go to disco ball planet and i was super excited, but as soon as I got there, I got a call... I accidentally spent all the money and now the mean CEOs are gonna make me drift off into space :cry: but i loved the inclusion of voice acting and all the music. Genuinely this was a delight, even if I couldn't quite figure out how to be better at it.

I was pretty lost at first, had no idea what to do, but eventually figured out that you need to align the tracks to create a looping song. The mixing panel is super detailed; I spent quite some time just messing around with all the sliders. That said, I couldn\u2019t manage to make a complete track \u2014 the recording time felt a bit too short and kept interrupting me. Even so, the visuals and voice acting alone made it worth it. And that banjo guy who stops playing the moment I hit record? Hilarious and annoying at the same time lol.
