I am using LMMS and some sound fonts I found online.  I don't know anything about music theory, so I don't have much process. I just have to force myself to sit down and fool with it until I have something that is not completely unlistenable.  This usually takes me several sittings at least, then I am likely to go back and tweak it repeatedly over time after seeing how it plays in-game.

The biggest difficulty I have is with choosing instruments that aren't piercingly awful.  Not sure if I've selected unsuitable sound fonts or if I am just using them poorly.  Second to that is just not making the track too short or repetitive.

Supermarket, people tend to be a bit desperate when they come to pawn shops and dealing with a lot of desperate magic users sounds dangerous.


Feanor or Celebrimbor?

You become so good at singing that it drives people mad much like a siren, and have to spend far too much time explaining why anyone within earshot loses brain function and vaguely mesmerically wanders in your direction, screwing up whatever they were supposed to be doing (car singing is definitely out of the question). It's a real pain.

I wish I had a second key for my flat again.

What kind of updates do folks like to see in Indie Alley threads?  I don't really post formal devlogs on Itch anymore, since it is too much effort for something that nobody really reads.  On another forum I post informal babble and reflection every week or so about what I've been working on.  I enjoy writing those, but I'm not sure how interesting they are to read.

I find the informal babble interesting! It's interesting for me to see little bits of other people's processes and how they're feeling about the game, if only because it makes me worry less about my own jumble of feelings and time issues and all that around dev projects.

What sort of process/system are you using for the music?

I did Next Fest late last year for The Exile Princes: I should really do a little write-up of how that went sometime.
