Progress on Project MONOLITH... some technical mumbo jumbo inside

[Arkhan]

Why are you using samples for that.  just set a 32 byte waveform (sine or squareish), and make a jump sound...

Dude, wtf do you think it is? "Just make a jump sound"... yeah, "just make a game" while yer at it.

I mean are you using the sample mode or are you just setting a 32 byte waveform and having it go "bwoop".

When you use the word "sample", it's usually implying that you're sampling the sound from an external source and playing it back.  Like shitty Amiga games.

[nodtveidt]

Just setting a 32 byte waveform and monkeying with it, like normal PSG users do.

[nodtveidt]

And no shitty Amiga games here. mwuahaha

thats not a sample, you tard.

if you want to nitpick and argue semantics, let me make it easy:

No.



just speed the tempo up just a little, and then drop it down about 2 steps. Then, change the waveform to something more sinelike.  see what that do, sucka

[nodtveidt]

The tempo was already at its highest speed; I'll just cut half the steps and do some other tweaking.

I can't imagine the game without a jump sound, I believe it's gotta be there.  I think it's mainly in area's where there's a ton of constant jumping further up in the castle where it seems like it's a bit much for me personally.

What tempo was that?

[incrediblehark]

I'm all for a jump sound as long as it doesn't detract from the rest of the games sound effects and bgm, there were little to no sound effects for jumping in castlevania and mega man and worked out just fine.

[Arkhan]

mega man had an awesome land-noise though

[nodtveidt]

What tempo was that?

Tone change every vsync.

Tone change every vsync.

change the tone more than once per vsync?

[incrediblehark]

yep, and that's all it needed really. thinking back to the last wily stage of mega man 2

[blueraven]

Mega Man 2 was epic.

One of my favorite NES Titles.

Nobody even talked about the first game bitd.

Indeed. I had even played MM1, but I didn't think it was particularly captivating. It was only after playing MM2 that many of us went back to MM1 and gave it another chance. MM2 was so easy--MM1 provided a challenge yet was not nearly as charming.

[spenoza]

Try MM2 on Hard. That's the normal difficulty in the home country.
