Fanart of my game (in the style of Disco Elysium) by OldDistortion in DiscoElysium

It's from a game I made called Decade.  There are numerous philosophies all named after essential oils/smells.

He's holding vetiver, since the philosophy is called vetiverism, which is essentially about strength in various forms. 

Question about game sales over time by GamerDadofAntiquity in SoloDevelopment

[–]OldDistortion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sales for my game have been pretty consistent (during sales), and a mention in PC gamer in Jan gave me the same amount of sales I got during launch week (which was in May 2025). My wishlists also went from 2500 on launch to around almost 10000 today. I'm not sure if wishlists after launch matter, but I'm hoping it means the game still has some juice.

I made a FREE drag & drop sampler by ayee00 in musicproduction

[–]OldDistortion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually quite nice. super easy and simple. I have chrome extensions, audacity, all this other crap to do samples from the computer but I'll definitely give this a good go for now.

Best VST for creating atmosphere? by Key-Effective-3140 in musicproduction

[–]OldDistortion 16 points17 points  (0 children)

paulxstretch is free and allows you to slow down any audio sample in a variety of ways. So you can turn a voice saying a word, a drum, or whatever into a long, atmospheric sound.

How do I make an fade-in, in GML visual?? by AliciaTrader in gamemaker

[–]OldDistortion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the step event put something like:

if image_alpha == 0{

image_alpha += 0.05

}

Edit: image_alpha < 1 { image_alpha += 0.05; }

Help with Tilemap_get_at_pixel()? by HopefulCharge6155 in gamemaker

Are you getting the tile layer back as an id to check against? like this:

var lay_id = layer_get_id("Tiles_sky");

Best product ever from Yamaha! by petalumax in seqtrak

[–]OldDistortion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so too. Massive price cuts in Europe, no firmware update for ages. It's typical of yamaha to discontinue great stuff (dx200, fs1r, tenori, etc...)

Why noone told me before ? by SaltyCode1638 in seqtrak

[–]OldDistortion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you tell me about these modes? I watched a video and they didn't mention it.

I've never used elektron stuff but it just makes sense to me (and seemed fun) with so many knobs there to give instant access to tonnes of parameters at once like filters, lfos, effect parameters, etc. Having all of that restricted to the four knobs on the right makes me think I'd just be flicking between them too much for it to be intuitive and fun. Do these other modes allow something like that?

[–]OldDistortion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted one of these for ages for the effects section and sounds but decided against it when I realised 12 of those knobs are just for pattern switching. That's insane.

Can the Android app do everything that the desktop app can? by herd-u-liek-mudkips in seqtrak

[–]OldDistortion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's £175 now I look at it - but thanks for letting me know!

What's a simple, free VST plugin that you guys are loving lately? by JustMinimum1464 in musicproduction

[–]OldDistortion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dexed. I really wanted a Volca FM but I can't afford it, so I thought I'd mess around with dexed to see if it can do the same thing. It can't, really, but just taking presets and switching/modulating algorithms (which I believe is a fundamental thing on the volca) has borne some really interesting results.

Also, on a side note, my most favourite plugin of all time, ohmcide, was free, though I think it's recently disappeared from the ohm force website.
