Hello people! This is the 2nd technical poll of IoM! This one is about sounds and/or music. 

It's to know if you, people, play with music, sounds, both, or none. (I guess that everyone knows that in the preferences menu, you can control music and sounds separately, but I will leave a screen of the preferences menu in case you didn't know that it was possible to manage the different volumes 🙂)

I’m deaf so silence is all I know :p

Rex Dollinger

music appropriate for the action of the video of course.

marcialart

😮 I didn't know that, Cassie. Then you don't have to hear the dirty noises of some of the characters. 😉 Thanks for being here! 🙂

Background music done right can certainly enhance a game.

Alexandra Knight

Yes i dont mind background music as long as it can be turned down a bit as not to drown out voice and sounds, plus i use the voice txt thingy in Renpy games as i cannot always see the texts. But yes Music can enhance the experience hehe....... :)

marcialart

Thanks, Andrew! Something that I have never taken into consideration is the size of the text 😮 Now that you are mentioning it, I will check if there is a way so the player can adjust it. 😃 So far, the music and sounds have their own dial to give the player the possibility to adjust it to their liking. 😉

Charles S

As long as sounds/music are measured and appropriate for the scenes being displayed, it's nothing but a huge positive.

David Rose

I didn't vote but, I'm for both if they are done well. And, as long as the options to turn them down or off are there, I don't mind if they aren't done well. Short of it is, I'm surprised when a game has music I enjoy and I will listen to it but, most games are just fine without it.

Aduasen

I Always mute all. Period

Flash Red

As long as the background music fits specific areas and scenes then I’m for it.

Boel Roger

Je joue avec la totale car cela donne une autre dimension au jeu et très bon choix

marcialart

Hello David! I'm putting a lot of effort into finding good sounds and music, but I'm no sound technician at all, hehe. 😁 But the options to turn them on/off or control each volume independently will always be there. That way, people can adjust them to their liking. 🙂

marcialart

Hello Flash Red! I'm trying to do that the best that I can and putting in a lot of effort, but I'm no sound expert, hehe, just doing the best I can and learning to always keep improving. 😜

marcialart

Merci, Boel. Je fais beaucoup d'efforts sur les sons car je pense que cela rend le jeu plus immersif. 🙂

P0tato_Aiim

i use both sound and music but music is turned down by a lot

marcialart

Hello P0tato_Aiim! Thanks for the feedback 👍. That is one of the cool things about having different dials for music and sounds. It allows people to customize it to their liking. 🙂

Armando Avila

El sonido es muy importante, por que te emerge en la acción que este sucediendo y crea una experiencia mucho más satisfactoria. Un sonido envolvente requiere de Música, efectos y sonidos, voz.

Armando Avila

Que estés bien! Salúdame a la tremenda Jenn y dile que la extraño!

marcialart

Hola Armando! Qué tal? Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo, hace que la experiencia sea mucho más inmersiva. Es un punto que estoy trabajando fuerte y que quiero mejorar para que el juego sea cada vez mejor. Y es muy importante saber si la gente tiene el mismo punto de vista. 😉

marcialart

Me dijo que también te está extrañando, jaja. 😝 Un saludo Armando!
