The Runes of Kalevala Developer’s Blog IV – The Quadrille of Antropomorphic Amphibians
|
FROGS This track is a quadrille about frogs. Frogs of great power and poor manners. It’s just a short outtake but it’s showing the direction I’m heading with it. I’ll be adding some slower parts and switch up the instrumentation some for the later bits. Again it’s all just performed by the power of MIDI and this project just loves to point out the flaws of that approach. Basically everything we’re trying to accomplish with this game hinges on a level of authenticity being present in every aspect of the aesthetics. The long term goal will be to rerecord this and upcoming tracks like it with a proper Finnish folk music group. The groove and verve those people achieve is just impossible to program (incidentally, thank god for that). I’ve also recorded voices for the evilest of frogs this week and spent a few days cutting and pasting together human sounds with frog sounds and mashing them together with a mix of filters and mutation plugins. After that warmup I did the same thing with human voices and the sound of wood creaking. Good times. We’re exhibiting our first vertical slice at the Gotland Game Conference in a few weeks and for that we’re required to produce a trailer for the game. That’s my main concern next week. From previous experience I can safely say it’ll be entertaining, stay tuned.
