How I made the music for just delete them

Let's start this by saying... I don't have a midi keyboard and I only have Lmms. This means that I have to mouse my way through the instruments.

The samples that I was using were recorded in my music schools percussion room one month before the theme was announced for a cover for my primary school that SPOILER ALERT they didn't use. Great! Great start.png

When I started creating a melody I didn't know what to do. I was lost. I ditched the music, until I finally had a simple melody. When I had those notes in front of me I had an idea. What if I would copy these notes over and over, throw some percussion that changes and be done with it. So I did that. Capture.PNG

I implemented the music, but it didn't fit. It was perfect for a title screen, but not for the game music. I didn't have time to start from the scratch, so I left that as it was. Capture2.PNG

When I had three hours left to polish I came up with another melody. I had the same plan. Ctrl + c, Ctrl + v, throw some percussion and be done with it. Sadly the music was annoying and it made a very big problem.

Players would turn off the music. At the end of the game is a segment where you just listen to a characters voice, but when someone turns off their music, they get stuck. I called this the black screen problem. Capture3.PNG

In the post jam version I changed the melody.

Making another version of Just delete them!

I was really surprised with my ratings... Just delete them - results.jpg ... and how much they sucked!

As you can see the fun category wasn't that good. I know how much the game sucked, but guess what! I have made some puzzles finally! Just delete them gif_04.gif EDIT: I just realized that I didn't connect the cable to the door. Go me!

I'm not gonna release any new versions, until I won't finish the game. The ending is gonna be difrent from my ldjam releases, because I had a new idea. Just delete them gif_01.gif

The game will be very simple, till the level 10 that has "the end" that isn't the end of the game. After level 10 there will be new levels and graphics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPRk38sGu9I

You shouldn't play this game in it's current state, so I won't link it up. It's very hard to understand and boring.

I've made a newsletter for my game Just delete them

Just made a newsletter for my game. I would like to continue working on it and maybe release it on steam. If you wan't to know about the proggress with it, you can subscribe here: https://tinyletter.com/DockFrankenstein Just delete them gif/em04.gif (Yes, I know. The button isn't connected to the door).

I thought hat this was a save community.

This website amazed me. There aren't any people that want you to get a cancer(at least I think so) and there aren't any bots but I found this comment under my post 4.jpg

There was a guy named karen888 that leaved this weird comment. I checked his account and he didn't have any games, any posts and he also didn't have a description. 1.jpg

I checked that website in a incognito page and I was shocked and I was laughing. 5.jpg

He was promoting a Indonesian gambling website. He posted comments like that on other posts. He wasn't a bot, because messages were different from each other. You will never know what weird stuff is gonna happen in life...

I'm making a virtual billboard!

My billboard is unavailable and I wanted it for ludum dare 44. I decided to make a virtual billboard. Maybe there's already an app that does this, but it's more fun! Here's the first video I made about this:

https://youtu.be/0dUqwUPUFeI

I've made a lot of progress after that video. Now you can edit notes and... that's it.

DOES SOMEONE KNOW HOW TO ADD A CTRL Z OPTION IN UNITY. I thought of saving every little detail in an array, but it would be hard to add features without editing the undo script. Please, someone say something!

Virtual billboard update

You may have seen that virtual billboard that I'm working on and now it's actually usable. Now you can save your progress and write stuff. Annotation 2019-04-16 091102.jpg

Oh, also ignore the water marks. Annotation 2019-04-16 091128.jpg

You can move around and there's nothing blocking you plus, you don't have to pay for pins! I also created a "main menu" or something. You can now have many projects in your PC! Annotation 2019-04-16 091214.jpg

It's still very primitive. You can't delete projects, you can't rename them and you can't sign them.

Going back to those notes. You can move them around by right clicking on them. Also when there are selected you can delete them!

I want do add other features to it: auto save, project settings, pasting notes, light theme, options, button that takes you to the projects menu, half sized notes, big boi notes and other stuff. When I will make that project usable enough I will probably release it on some still undefined platform. I'm gonna probably also post another update tomorrow.

Virtual billboard progress update 2

I didn't have time yesterday to post this, because a wild couch came into my house just to be stuck in a door frame. We had to cut it (I mean the door frame, not the couch).

I finally started using this app. It's weird, because I'm using it to make it better. Annotation 2019-04-18 112520.jpg

I'm stuck with the 5th version, because the 6th version (the newest) can't read old files. I'm thinking of implementing a version variable to the save files, so the app would warn user about that change and suggest importing the file to a new version.

Another problem that I have is that unity is acting weird. When I open the app it shows me this: Annotation 2019-04-18 112735.jpg Please help me with this. I had problems with just delete them, because every antivirus was freaking out and now I have this.

Also now every note has an outline. Annotation 2019-04-18 113027.jpg

If you noticed I added the big note. It only comes in one color, but don't worry. That's just a feature. Big notes have an independent edit menu. Here's the edit window for small notes. Annotation 2019-04-18 113200.jpg Here's the edit window for big notes. Annotation 2019-04-18 113220.jpg

I have to make a return function that would take the user to the projects menu. It's really annoying to close the app, find it in file explorer and then launch it again. The version control and those small notes will be next.

See you... someday.

Virtual billboard progress update 3

Today I've made some good progress.

At the beginning of the day I had to work on some bug fixed (yay). After that I've remade the to do list to a new version. Annotation 2019-04-19 203747.jpg (the yellow note is the thing that I'm currently working on)

I've also made a reject list: Annotation 2019-04-19 204022.jpg

Yeah, having to pick pins color would probably make this app not that productive. BUT WAIT! What is this mysterious button over there? Annotation 2019-04-19 203857.jpg

Don't worry! It's a save button (finally). Now you can press a button on your right bar instead of pressing ctrl + S. Why would you like to have this option? Well, it's because of the android version! IMG_0002.JPG

Yeah, this app is coming to android! (iOS users, don't yell, I don't have money to add this to app store). Now you can move around using this! IMG_0003.JPG

I've also made the projects menu more "android user friendly". Annotation 2019-04-19 205106.jpg

You can now delete projects with a button and open them. If you noticed, there's now an icon. If you don't like it, then let me know.

CAN SOMEONE SUGGEST ME A PLATFORM TO HOST THIS APP ON? It's probably not going to be on github (this tool is not only made for nerds). I'm thinking of itch.io, but I'm open for suggestions. That's it for now. Well bye stranger.
