@hexaheximal might be too late but for the sound effects you should do a common game development technique where there's a float between like 0.8 and 1.2 and the value of the float is how much the pitch of the sound effect is pitched up or down. this trick is commonly used in games like diablo where the same sound like hitting an enemy is played very frequently. the ever so slight adjustment of the pitch allows the user to not get "audio fatigue" and feel like the sound is slightly different each time while staying consistent so that you don't get annoyed.

@RiptideAtlantic after reading this yesterday I tried doing this and it sounds absolutely terrible

people would probably think it's a bug at best upon hearing it

@tertle950 internally at least there has been a philosophy of treating audio design as a key aspect to the aesthetics of the system but I don't think I've said that publicly until now

@hexaheximal@mastodon.social ah, gotcha

Well, if you didn't say it publicly before... it's out here now!

And I wholly agree with it, by the way. It's surprising how much sound effects can add to any interface, whether in a video game (where you'd expect it) or even in an application. Not to mention it just makes the UI more fun.

@tertle950 the timing of that post lol

but yeah, for quite some time now (I don't remember specifically when) I've felt that it needs to be fun, and I always cite the nintendo 3ds as an example of what that would be.

@tertle950 there is actually a song in the audio demo app (which you can very very briefly hear in the video at the beginning of this thread actually) which sounds somewhat nintendo-wifi-connection-core, and I have found many other (public domain) songs which also have that vibe to it

@tertle950 fun fact: I am planning on making that the music that plays when performing system updates, although that is going to arrive much later in milestone 2

@tertle950 you do NOT want to know how overly complex the system update / recovery architecture is (or at least is planned to be) 💀
