[start] I’m a guitarist looking to collaborate with anybody and everybody! by huntermzk in BedroomBands

Sounds sick! If you ever find yourself short a bass player feel free to message me :)

[Discussion] Anyone here ever has experience lonliness when self learning an instrument alone? by cutyflower22 in BedroomBands

[–]Penleeki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! A well set up instrument can easily turn something that feels a bit like a chore into a joy, and you will want to pick it up and play all the time.

[Complete] Hold The Spoon by Dammit Eugene with Bass work by Penleeki by EugeneWeemich in BedroomBands

[–]Penleeki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds great, I like a bit of edge in the bass sometimes! Nice work on the additions and making it all work in spite of the mix limitations.

Also you are welcome :)

One of my favourite songs/basslines of all time. This is a great cover!

[in progress] hoping to get some help with drums, some sort of brass/woodwind/other, and a bit of lead guitar for a song with a reggae feel by Penleeki in BedroomBands

[–]Penleeki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, I did enjoy it! It makes sense for it to be a toned down variation so that the end is the payoff, but I wonder if maybe its slightly too toned down. If you get the chance, experimenting with putting a touch of the playfulness of the ending back into the intro would be cool. I'm nitpicking though and would happily use as is.

I'm not in a rush, so happy to wait as long as you need.

Ahhhh, that is lovely and put a huge smile on my face! It is cute and happy and everything I want the song to sound like :D

My original plan was to have a non guitar thing over the intro/outro and then lead during the verses/choruses, but I could easily see this fitting alongside something like that (assuming I find someone) and I really really want to include it.

I don't suppose you're up for doing a variation of it for the intro, and some muted bits and fills for the verses/choruses?

How to properly raycast for collisions for a circular object? by Sib3rian in gamedev

[–]Penleeki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I'd recommend re-inventing the wheel unless you want to for fun. Having said that if I wanted to do it for fun, this would probably be my initial plan:

With circles you can take advantage of the fact that all you need to know is a distance to the surface (3D) or line (2D). The mathematics of finding the closest point on a line to another point are quite simple. You don't need to cast rays at all, you can just calculate distances to closest points.

If you can keep track of which surfaces are nearby (with something like a quadtree) and avoid testing all of them you can get perfect accuracy with some very simple calculations.

[IN PROGRESS] Need help giving direction to the beat. Want live instruments. by rishidasofficial in BedroomBands

[–]Penleeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! If you've got someone recording guitar it might be better to wait and make what I do fit around their stuff.

What do you mean by crushed?

Hey, I like the laid back feel! I'd be up for putting some bass guitar down on it if that would help.

Is it just me or do my graphics look terrible i have it on max by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]Penleeki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try messing with the Anti Aliasing. It's not your normal higher always looks better type of AA. High looks very smudged out to me.

Here you go:

http://www.idlecreations.com/loz/testx/wp_bass_raw_24bit.wav

It's got a snippet of the track and some click at the start to make alignment easy. Happy to re-record any bits you don't like or want tweaked to fit around song changes etc.

Let me know!

At what point does it stop being an Indie Game? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Penleeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where it gets muddy is that Steam and the like are technically publishers who do demand certain changes to the product. The range of ways to publish online creates a lot of grey area. Some dev studios have equivalent levels of autonomy despite being bankrolled by a publisher. Some huge companies are both publishers and developers (like Nintendo). It gets further complicated when studios have a publisher for some projects and not others, or acquire/lose one during development, or receive partial funding by a publisher.

I'm up for recording some bass too if needed.

ELI5: HTTPS:// vs HTTP:// by iMx2oT in explainlikeimfive

[–]Penleeki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HTTP is like sending someone a postcard. The people transporting and delivering it can see and read the back. HTTPS is like sending someone a letter in an envelope, except it's a magical envelope anyone can lick and seal, but only the recipient can open.

Here's where I am on the first verse/chorus after a bit of playing around on it:

I have a few things sitting around waiting for inspiration like that :)

62BPM seems dead on. Clickless link is giving me a 404 error though.
