This is a short demo of a simple (as of yet unfinished) game Julia and I wrote for our unborn daughter, who arrived one week later in the form of a beautiful baby boy! Please excuse the quality of the video, the screen recording software gets a little jumpy at times.
The music is generated algorithmically in real time and uses sounds we recorded on location at an artist’s residency in Lough Dan in Co. Wicklow (thank you Lioba for making that happen!).
The music changes according to events that occur in the game, but it is different each time the game is played. Visual elements such as the leaves blowing across the screen are also generated dynamically using the same pseudo-random processes.
We’d like to finish the game someday, but perhaps we will wait till our son is old enough to tell us what should happen next.
