Show HN: Audial – a video game about musical improvisation

1 pointsby giogadiover 1 year ago
This is still a prototype. I&#x27;d love to hear what people think!<p>I built this game from scratch in c++. Most of the sounds you hear are synthesized at runtime by an audio synthesizer I also wrote. I generate sound this way because (1) it&#x27;s cool and (2) it makes for fast iteration on game design.<p>I arrived at this game design over years of noodling around with tiny prototypes. I love rhythm games but I sometimes find them so restrictive - i.e., usually the song is already set in stone and you&#x27;re graded by how closely your button presses match the song&#x27;s rhythms. So with this prototype I&#x27;m trying to break out of the restrictions typical of rhythm games by letting players just play the music themselves, with no musical training necessary.
