This game is really interesting! I like the idea, but it was pretty hard for my brain to map the notes to the keyboard. I if this would work better with a gamepad or some other dedicated device.
I love any kind of procedurally generated media, so this is really cool to see.
Thanks for trying out the game! I am glad that you actually had the same thought as mine on the gamepad control!
I was planning to make a step-by-step tutorial to introduce different type of melody lines and the support of gamepad (optimized for hand placement) but regrettably I underestimated the complexity of procedural chord generation and ran out of time...
Haha, my second game jam game had a procedural music generator and it ate up time like nothing else! I'm glad I did it, but think that I would need to build a system several times, or have one pre-built that I could use as a stepping stone.
Does not seem to load on web for me, on firefox
Hi, sorry for your bad experience. Please download the desktop version and I will include a note on the browser compatibility as soon as possible.
I am using some world environment effects and an embedded midi player so there may have some browsers or their older versions not supporting it.
