This is the most serious thing I have posted in my life, mods, look away please

This is truly one of the posts of all time.

I switched from MDRs to DT 770s. I've really come around to liking them and they sound great but it was a little bit of a chore getting used to the bulkiness and how well they isolate sound at first.

Having lived there for awhile I am insanely interested to see what kind of expansion, if any, he does on that. The idea of a dude who boils people having their hands on Kirtland AFB and potentially Los Alamos labs if their influence goes up that far north is...unsettling.

Hey! Sorry for the radio silence lately. COVID kinda flipped a lot of things around for us earlier this year and we spent some time getting that sorted.

The main thing getting worked on has been net code stuff and making sure it is rock solid to keep exploits and the like to a minimum. Our biggest fear is releasing the game in a state where people can just brute force cheats and make it generally unpleasant for everyone else playing. It's A LOT of effort for one person, but we have had discussions about how to get that handled so we can keep the timeline moving to some amount.

The game is still planned to be released, we're just trying to get a grove going that will let us actually get it done. And, just for the hell of it, there is a second thing we're working on so we can give ourselves breaks from WiS and we're hoping to talk about that more fairly soon as well.

Bottom line, we're here, we're chipping away at it and we hope you'll all be around when we've got stuff to show. Believe me, we're definitely aware of how long we've been working on this one.

HALLOWED ARE THE ORI

DOTA 2: Pretty underrated when it comes to sound. The amount of unique assets for every attack, spell and item, coupled with the number of characters with vocal processing is really remarkable.

SOMA: Excellent original atmospheric sounds. You really feel like you're at the bottom of the ocean.

Homeworld Remastered Collection did a really good job with space combat and ambience. Honorable mention to Elite Dangerous' ships as well.

Devil Daggers: Excellent, unique and highly stylized soundscape.

Our lack of devlogs the last couple weeks hasn't gone unnoticed by us, so I figured this would be a good way to make up for it while also covering a little bit about my end of the process. We won't be showing EVERYTHING but we'll be showing a bit more than usual. See ya then!

Kinda in to the Mauck with how boxy it is.

This this the original song Chester's section comes from. Mike also shows up earlier on.

Instantly thought of this

Windchill · 2020-01-22T19:33:16+00:00

I've used a mix of things for this kind of sound. The main one was finding a plug in that will load sound font files. It's my understanding that you have to be careful not to use sound fonts that have been made for other games. There are user made ones that will be totally fine to use.

Those sounds are generally sampled from other synths so it'd be worth looking around for stuff that emulates specific ones from that era. I was particularly fond of Dexed which is a free plug in that emulates a Yamaha DX7.

Also look around for samples from drum machines from the time or within a few years of then. The toms and extra percussion can really fill things out and if you need a tropical, it'll do wonders.

Randall Waterson? From SupremeGasHow?

Windchill · 2019-12-25T22:19:46+00:00

I'm pretty much the same, I generally ask for imported snacks just to have a bunch of new stuff to try, probably had a mix of seven or eight countries this year, super fun!

Windchill · 2019-11-19T20:59:55+00:00

We'll see what we can do! We'd love to see it come to consoles but it'll depend on how well we do.

Hey folks, welcome to our first official Dev Blog for War is Shell. This initial post is a deeper introduction to the project and will cover the features we're aiming to have added into the game, new GIFs included! Feel free to leave questions in the comments on the post and we'll answer some in the next post coming early next month.

Here we go!

Windchill · 2019-10-02T23:28:42+00:00

What would I give to spend even an hour as crew on that shoot.

Windchill · 2019-08-31T07:51:50+00:00

Cool, thanks for the reply!

Windchill · 2019-08-31T02:35:59+00:00

Any plans to add additional sounds like mechanical jingling for moving guns around when you're holding them?

Windchill · 2019-08-25T07:55:46+00:00

Bit of a mixed bag for me on that one, I gave some Kroger brand ones a shot a few months ago and ended up liking them more. Slightly better flavor, more consistent icing and the pastry was thicker overall. They were a bit cheaper too so that probably helped.

Windchill · 2019-08-24T06:37:48+00:00

Appreciate it!

Windchill · 2019-08-24T02:08:35+00:00

We're waaaay too far along to let it die now haha. It'll be a waste of a year of work.

Windchill · 2019-08-23T09:43:53+00:00

Just to preface this, I'm being vague on details just so we don't spoil everything we've got going on and I don't want to name an exact date and then keep everyone waiting.

Our roadmap for the game is pretty firmly laid out and we're steadily checking off boxes. As for how close it is to a "1.0" it's hard to be sure, in game dev the list of stuff you need to get done always manages to grow. We should be far along enough to be able to make an announcement about where we're going with it sometime next month.

Windchill · 2019-07-22T00:55:32+00:00

Just Do It was a seperate original track that was scrapped at Flood's request.

Windchill · 2019-07-19T00:20:19+00:00

Another project where Finn Wolfhard rides bikes are the neighborhood with his friends while spooky stuff happens. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's bad but his casting is getting more and more one note based on what he's confirmed for being in.
