I’ve been spending A LOT of time writing FFD. Don’t get me wrong, all the levels have been blocked out but now I’m getting into the nitty gritty of dialog – what, how and when. It’s no small feat considering you’re constantly up against an empty page.
But I think writing the music is just as important a part of the writing process as anything else. The Forest is a character in this game, a character who’s actions are obfuscated and who’s dialog is… music.
It’s extremely early days though and right now I’m just trying to put a “band” together to produce the sound of the game. The “band” is of course just me and the stuff I have laying around in Tire Swing Studio. This is the first attempt at the Forest Sound. More on the way.
