Hi Folks,

One last feedback poll for this month.   I amlooking for everyone's inputs on music and sound effects, based on episode 23, so we know what we should focus on for episode 24.  Adding music and sfx adds a little bit to the overall production time/workload (Not a massive amount but still adds to be considered).  Please vote once per category, so a total of 5 votes per person.  And read the details below on each category, before voting.

Thanks,

CG

Music - Self explanatory.  All background & mood music

General SFX - Environment:  e.g. background crowd noises, ringtones, doorbells, etc.

Character SFX - e.g. Character laughs / screams / crying, etc.

Kiss SFX - self-explanatory - kissing noises

Sex SFX - All sex related SFX - Moans / groans / pants / heavy breathing

Honestly sounds don’t matter to me. I play with all sounds muted as that’s what I prefer

Chesty

I dont see an option that applies to me. I just chose don't care but I play with all sound muted and my own music playing.

scorpius drall

i mute the sound of all the games i play . i listen to my muziek

Matt Gorman

I always turn the music all the way down and SFX about halfway down.

MoonLight Dev Corp

I turn off the sound, but when I know there is a music especially for one scene, I turn it on. For the sfx, I totally turn them off so... ;)

Impracticality

For me the music was a clear win and the sex/kissing sounds were a clear lose. The other SFX were a mix; sometimes they were good at setting the mood, sometimes they were distracting. The only time I thought they were a consistent help was in the LARP, but that's probably not a good yardstick going forward.

Scott Guy

I mute music all the time. I do like if there is sexy moaning for SFX. Other than that I really don't care.

SacredxSaber

I don't like having the characters or the girls laughing because I have sounds in my mind and voices in my mind of how the girls would sound so having them laugh in a weird voice or generic voice throws me off and I don't like it all that much but if people like it it's cool for me I just have a sound of how Monica and the girl sound that I prefer but great episode overall

SteelyDan14

I don't mind background music and general sound effects but the sex/kiss sound effects didn't do anything for me. Like SacredxSaber, I would rather imagine the voices of the characters.

Walter L.

I mute sound anyway in any of this type of game I play, so I really don't care either way, however, I would not like it if it took time away from other more important things like rendering and telling a story.

HappyHuman

I almost never like voice effects. They tend to be jarringly different from what I've been imagining. Genuinely like the title song, though, and I find the background music fair-to-good.

MasterSav

I like music and general SFX, but not a fan of voice SFX. Kiss is ok, character SFX can become annoying and sex SFX is quite cringe

Mitsuru

Like i already said , i liked everything you add in the last update.I played an older episode for comparison and it felt kinda empty without the sound effects.

Helms1337

In terms of storytelling we already have text, still images, and animations in play so music would be the natural next step. It's ultimately your team's story and music can be a huge factor in shaping people's emotional reaction to events. Before signing off on WTHI as complete it'd 100% be worth adding music to every episode IMO. If people don't like it they can always mute it. My feelings are that basic SFX for world events (door knocks, hit impacts ect) keep the game world immersive without being distracting so I welcome those. Less is more for SFX for me.

L M Gillies

First thing I do with all games is turn off the sound. I don't think it adds to the story,

Warren H

Some of my favourite VNs have really taken the time to ad music. Leap of Faith and Artemis are two great ones, but of course they both hit the hidden Artlist BS over usage. It takes more time, but music balanced to the story does make the game better.

TinkleDrinker

Nothing beats some good “Squishing” sounds, or a big “AAGGHH” from the MC at the climax.

Jeff

Is there a more of everything button? I would push that...
