What's the name of your experience?
Island

Please describe your creation.
Originally I was going to make more of a traditional game experience where you fly a hang glider through some canyons, catching thermals to stay in the air. But playtesters seemed to enjoy the simple feeling of flying and exploring more, so I focused on that instead. Once I began I decided to play with dynamic music generation, which was one of the hardest/most rewarding parts of this because I have no training in music. I recorded all of the piano using virtualpiano.net. The order in which things are discovered in the game will affect how the music plays back, so I hope you enjoy that part especially! Also, the wind sound is two tracks of me blowing into my microphone layered on top of each other :)

I'm also just learning unity, so had lots of fun learning particle effects and things like that. Flying through the clouds is one of my favorite things to do.

Also, don't miss the underwater valleys!

Thanks for playing, I hope you enjoy the experience.

It is a great experience. I liked it. I also visited your portfolio website. You gotta teach me how to use your secret weapon too ;p

Anyway, good job! :)
