Summarise your game!
The Music’s Magic is a casual RPG Maker adventure game about a mute child bard named Benjamin (also called Benji) who plays music and becomes a weapon of inspiration and passion through the help of their sentient flute, Aulos.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Be a weapon of inspiration for others. It's not about the tools you use, it's about your passion. Being a weapon doesn’t mean you have to harm or hurt things to get what you need.
The player is a weapon of change for the very same people around them. They themselves have the power to influence the world in small, yet impactful and creative ways than they realize.
The theme had allowed enough leeway to be able to interpret it in many more ways than just a literal weapon - in this game’s case, being more of a metaphorical weapon and agent of change for the community and the people around the player. The quote “the pen is mightier than the sword” is also applied in this game (in this case, the flute is mightier), showing that a means of positive change is possible through other means than just the conventional, standard means.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
we're new have mercy ToT
Hello! Thank you, were pretty satisfied with the game too but then it's our team's first ever game and game jam ♡(ӦｖӦ｡) so really appreciate this feedback
Btw for that part it's 132 112, (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
I'd love to hear about ur thoughts about the game's music too
but all in all THANK YOUUUU
Hey ! I replayed the game and the music fits the whole cute aesthetic ! Your instruments selections work's really well too.
If I could give you a couple of tips from one composer to another would be to make use of the expression cc into your D.A.W. For exemple the flute works really well but you can hear when the note is turned on and when it's release.
To give each note more smoothness, research the expression or the volume controller on the virtual instrument that you are using and make the note fade in and out just briefly.
Another thing I would've loved to hear is some longer loops as to avoid too much repetition, in my opinion the one in the house could use some more time. Or you could also make short segments like what you already have, that are very similar, and play them in loop in a random order.
Don't get discouraged ! Your game sound great and it's only the opinion of a dude on internet.
Thank you! Our artists really did great with the background and sprites ( ◜‿◝ )♡ we appreciate this
Also hope ya figured it out and continued the game
You have to copy the tune which is 132 112!
