i am not a GM that normally runs much combat but I had fun tonight! Added some fun twists and turns so it wasn’t monotonous and I think I can work with this!

This is very noticeable with button press SFX. Too often there's a bit of silence or a little fade-in/build up at the start of the sound. Remove that and you can tell the difference immediately.

Gamedev tip of the week:

If you're going to implement any kind of audio, especially UX SFX, make sure to trim any silence from the start of the file.

Your audio instantly feels a lot snappier, which helps massively with the UX.

god damn. good for them. I thought the game was plagued with legal issues or something but they just kept going ham for 7 years lmao

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make

The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme
