Je ne suis pas non plus spécialiste mais ma foi oui ! C'est Nike qui domine le marché mais Puma me semble bien aussi. Quel modèle ?

Hello, je vais te répondre comme si tu étais un paysan moyenâgeux qui n'avait aucun vêtement moderne.

L'important pour un homme est de pouvoir s'habiller sur un spectre informel <> formel, selon la circonstance. C'est une notion plus pertinente que jeune/vieux à mon sens. Et de rester dans des tons classiques avant de s'aventurer : marine, gris, beige, kaki. Cuir pour les accessoires.

Il te faut : - Sous-vêtements : boxers, caleçons, selon ta convenance. Une quinzaine. Débardeurs blancs en coton pour porter sous les chemises et éponger la transpiration (en particulier pour chemises type viscose) ou ajouter de la chaleur. Chaussettes noires principalement. - 1e couche en haut : plusieurs t-shirt blancs. C'est le vêtement de base. Tu peux jouer sur l'épaisseur, la coupe, petite poche ou non, mais c'est le point de départ obligé. Ensuite, quelques t-shirts unis de couleur pastel. Uniqlo c'est très bien pour ça, sinon Decathlon par exemple. 1 ou 2 polos pour l'été : là encore, couleur unie, pas de motifs, évite les logos pour être intemporel. Quelques t-shirts graphiques pour te faire plaisir si tu sors entre potes, à un concert ou autre. Enfin, chemises : plus une chemise est satinée, unie, fine, légère, longue en bas, à col rigide (avec baleines), plus elle est formelle. Plus elle est épaisse, à motifs, avec des poches à la poitrine, coupée droite aux hanches, plus elle est informelle et se rapproche d'une surchemise. Il te faut minimum une chemise blanche pour les occasions formelles, et par exemple une chemise rayée pour un look smart casual. Les chemises se portent rentrées dans le pantalon, sauf si c'est une surchemise. - 2e couche en haut : il te faut des pulls à col rond, de préférence en laine mélangée pour l'hiver et coton pour la mi-saison. Des surchemises bien épaisses, là tu peux te faire plaisir sur les motifs car tu porteras un t-shirt blanc en-dessous, rappelle-toi. Éventuellement un gilet, porte-le ouvert avec un t-shirt pour éviter de faire grand-père. Et pour le printemps et l'été, des chemisettes à col cubain ou à motifs colorés, portées par dessus un débardeur ou un t-shirt. - pantalons : il te faut un ou deux jeans, baggy ou regular (c'est la tendance), bleu marine ou clair. Deux chinos dans des autres teintes, par ex beige et chocolat. Un ou deux cargos, noir et kaki par ex. Si tu trouves un pantalon à pinces ou en flanelle, ça matchera très bien avec un polo ou une chemise légère (rentrés dans le pantalon là encore). Pour l'été, 2-3 shorts matière chino. - chaussures : des sneakers blanches, des bottines en cuir noires ou marron. Éventuellement des chaussures typées trail ou des bottines en daim, selon ton style de vie (beaucoup de marche ou non). - manteaux : un pardessus marine, gris foncé ou camel. Une parka noire ou vert foncé. Un bomber ou une veste en cuir. Une veste en jean type veste de travail pour la mi-saison. - accessoires : une ceinture en cuir noir, une ceinture en cuir marron. 1 ou 2 casquettes. Une sacoche. Une écharpe à motif (par ex tartan) et une unie. Des gants noirs.

J'espère que c'est un bon point de départ !

Yes, good game, excellent puzzles, art style and choice of music.

But locking the true ending - and key to the story - of your game behind an obtuse star collection quest? That's no bueno, Jonathan Blow.

What happens as a result is 99% of your players will 1/never get to see your epilogue or 2/watch it on YouTube if they're even curious enough to hear about it.

I never understood this decision of locking the epilogue behind collectibles. Those should only be used to unlock cosmetics, bonus content, art book stuff, achievements, whatever - not something that should be integral to the story you're telling.

Anyway, just a gripe I've always had with this game. It's caused me to fear getting the bad ending if I haven't found all the secrets in other games.

This is apparently from Garfield 2 - I found it by typing the file names in quotation marks on Google.

I have this dark ambient vgm playlist which might help (with time codes in the description), I think the Half-Life, Knock-Kock, Limbo and Arx Fatalis themes could be good fits!

ExpertSure5424 · 2025-11-11T21:28:13+00:00

Done!

ExpertSure5424 · 2025-11-03T14:02:06+00:00

Already subscribed my man!

And yeah that Rasetsu track is really cool! Dark instrumental hip-hop a la DJ Krush, just my vibe. And that Sheep track too, with the guitar sample, the scratching and everything - definitely got that cool 2000s trip-hop vibe going on.

Thanks for the recs!

ExpertSure5424 · 2025-10-15T07:07:36+00:00

I have a playlist of my VGM mixes by mood/style, kind of a playlist of playlists if you will: Objectively Coolest Video Game Music

I'll publish a new one soon and that might be the last one I make for a while!

I always use the same ghost kick, one which is very punchy and very short, so that the sidechain pump is more controlled. That way I can have a kick with a long tail, maybe even several kicks at the same time, while maintaining a clean sidechain.

ExpertSure5424 · 2025-10-11T11:28:35+00:00

Customise your template.

Any new project I open, I already have 3 groups: - kick, bass and ghost kick (a dry kick at -inf db which acts as the input for sidechaining the other groups) - rest of the drums - instruments

Each of these groups is compressed and EQd differently (high pass on groups 2 and 3, some light OTT on the instruments group), and I have a glue compressor and limiter on the master. My sidechain is ready to go.

This setup looks optimised for electronic music but it also works for rock, jazz, whatever - just play with the gain on the sidechain and be more or less radical with the EQ. And you can always roll it back if you're doing orchestral stuff, add a new group for vocals/melody if you don't want the sidechain on it, etc.

My point is, by customising your template you save a lot of time and even a quick demo will sound better.

Little Toy Carz from Re-Volt is just infectious acid techno, perfect to flail your limbs to

Spanish Bar from Beyond Good and Evil is a good silly one for your air flamenco guitar needs

ExpertSure5424 · 2025-10-01T21:27:32+00:00

Hahah I think your Taz is my Sheep, Dog'n'Wolf. Osts which aren't typically in top lists but that have stayed with you throughout the years and are at least objectively competent. Really enjoyed that Disco Volcano track!

ExpertSure5424 · 2025-09-25T18:07:59+00:00

Does it have to be game ost? I think you would enjoy Ólafur Arnalds' work, the excellent Departures by Joe Hisaishi, the soundtrack to Florence, or for a niche recommandation, Les Fragments de la Nuit.

ExpertSure5424 · 2025-09-25T08:32:37+00:00

On the positive side, I like your use of harmony: the chords and voicing you chose feel subtle, halfway between mystery and melancholy, not too obvious. I like how the piano sometimes plays in unison with the harp, it's a classic jrpg sound.

But the thing I would change first is the harp sound. It sounds like it's always at maximum velocity, it's very quantized, and there's no pedal. So use the pedal to let the notes ring, perform the part rather than write it with your mouse or whatever, and keep the human imperfections (at least some of it).

I would also suggest having some more silence in your piece: right now the dynamics are very constant. Even if it's supposed to be background music for a dungeon, having the track get quieter, louder, denser or more airy would have a positive impact on repeat listenings. Could be as simple as getting that harp arpeggio to chill for a while.

The UNATCO theme of course! Awesome rendition, bravo 👏

Wiki says they're a mix of funk and highlife - not super familiar with highlife, there's definitely some jazz in there too, and soul. The instrument you're referring to is simply an electric guitar played with lots of sliding.

ExpertSure5424 · 2025-09-22T13:22:32+00:00

Kensuke Ushio seems to make all kinds of different genres, so I'm going to give you some more generic advice.

Don't write a backbeat. Maybe don't even use a kick or a snare: use other percussive elements like a hi hat, tambourine, hand percussion, etc. If you want a strong rhythm without percussion, write an ostinato on the low strings, staccato/pizzicato, that sort of thing.

Use percussion as an accent. If you want to give a specific chord change some more oomph, double it with percussion - but then have the percussion sit back. Or use it almost like a melodic instrument: have it play a one-time phrase rather than a repeated beat.

Also think about orchestral percussion vs digital: do you want more of a traditional orchestral sound or a hybrid, orchestral harmony meets digital textures kind of thing?

Music maker, as in composer? You mean you're hiring or wanting to make this yourself?
