And is it more important that most of the instruments in all songs are coherent, or that the moods the songs create are coherent, or the genre of the music itself?
I have been looking at other people's work and what popular packs seem to look like.
I'm getting mixed signals from them.
I've also looked at games with music that have had very strong impacts on my feelings and memories of the "overall experience" of the games, and tried to analyze how they do it.
World of Goo has very varied music. Some instruments are recurring but for the most part the songs use very different instruments, genres and set different moods for different levels.
Have you sold any music packs, or bought any for one of your own game?
What has made you pleased or disappointed with the content you got?
Thanks for reading!
