Resignation

[fowlplay4]

Most "sound effects" people (that I've encountered) just take the effects from places online, that is why it's a joke position to me. I can steal my own sound effects tyvm.

Also would like to hear what was actually accomplished by being a sounds admin on Era.

• A complete list of overworld music for Era.
• Several gun sound effects.
• Inside level music
• Misc sounds (bits and bobs)

Great, more things for Tim to make a mute for and reasons for me to use my mute Graal hotkey.

Bye though, you were a cool guy to have around.

Like I said, sadly comes down to bad reputation. And someone touched before about most people muting Graal, and that's also true. When I start developing I think about fitting music and I'm not sure if I can ever get that accomplished but then reality sets in that if I make the sound experience the best possible, no one's probably going to hear it because the rest of the game sounds like **** that forces everyone to mute.

Just to throw in some statistics, here's the current distribution of "SFX" volumes on Era (76 players online):



The horizontal axis is the range percentage; I grouped players at similar range levels to simplify the graph. The vertical axis is the number of players who fell in that range.

Era has some of the worst sound effects on Graal, so I'm kind of surprised by this—I always play with sound off and figured more players did as well.

But does this take into effect people who simply have their computer muted, or have Graal muted in their mixer? (Rherotical, since I know you can't grab this data)

I know I typically just have my computer muted when I play Graal. Though I NEVER have music in Graal turned on. Sound effects are tolerable, but it'd be nice to see that same graph with the specific sound formats(midi, mp3, wav).

PS you're turning into Google.

You're right that some players may mute their computers, there's no way to test this, but I kind of doubt it's a lot of players.



This is with 78 players online.

This is where a lot of people confuse opinion and fact in this thread and other threads where opinions run wild. Believing that since they do something, "more people do it, too". I agree that the SFX on Era is rather terrible, but my volume levels in-game only reflect the volume levels I can stand blaring in my ear with headphones in while the Stereo Mix level on my computer is set at 75% on top of that.
