Tree of Fame time

[TodePond]

Tree of Fame done

Habitat time!!

[TodePond]

Working on some state management stuff for habitat, and did a cleanup

[TodePond]

Habitat updated

now big change coming

[TodePond]

Renamed ArrowRoost to Arroost

[TodePond]

I got some barebones structure going

and deployed at https://incandescent-kitten-32f1ef.netlify.app/

[TodePond]

I did some more updates to habitat

[TodePond]

BIG UPDATES TO HABITAT NOW IM BACK

[TodePond]

I added a todo list of things to R+D

[TodePond]

Figured out all the arrows - now changed to list of things to code. Here we go!

[TodePond]

just a lil update: Arrow of Creation is going

Now working on Recording + Noise

[TodePond]

Make Noise go behind the Recording. Make Noise double-ended. Make Recording a circle button.

[TodePond]

Moved em to issues

[TodePond]

Updated the script! based on more train work

[TodePond]

Script done

[TodePond]

Technically, recording + noise code are done. Creation still needs cloning!

[TodePond]

Voice done and edited - but will probably do some reshoots

because:

sections need a bit of restructuring. there's too much of a long silence at the start of the destruction section (maybe appropriate though???)

also control is weirdly placed.

the interruptions need to be less conversational, more simplistic, and less mean. "berd............ (dancing stop).... no music...... (chp)"

also outro, don't commentate it, just let it happen throughout the credits, and then only realise afterwards - "wait... w d b g?" "wait.... d b f a?"

yeah ok, and think that'll do it!!!!! decision needed later about music in credits, but that's fine either way

[TodePond]

Update:

• I did a re-script and re-take and re-structure. It's good now! I should update the todo list accordingly. I think I could potentially drop the Arrow of Control but let's see how we go! eg: Could move pitch controls to the Arrow of Recording instead. Depends if I really need volume/lowpass/etc or not. If I do need it, I need the Arrow of Control.
• Teaser trailer is done, and out!
• I'm currently working on getting nogan + arroost to work together well.

[skifli]

You should really lock these issues to contributors only.

[TodePond]

no its ok :)

[TodePond]

Nogan fully refactored, now back to the Arroost UI

[TodePond]

Arroost and Nogan now WORKING TOGETHER

[TodePond]

Major progress on arroost UI, speeding up a lot now

Might need to rescript + rerecord arrow of infinity as ive found a much cooler way of doing it

[TodePond]

Updated to reflect current status

[TodePond]

updated to current status

Preparation

• [x] Tree of Fame

• [ ] Cursors
• [ ] Screen of Fame ...

How cool!

Destruction gets introduced in the end!

[TodePond]

yeah its gonna do some more stuff too :)

[TodePond]

arrow of reality code done

[TodePond]

updated script, started screen of fame, started video outro

[ivanreese]

No music!!!?

[mahdoosh1]

hey Luke, where did you learn js? in school or online course or where?

i am not good at js and i want to learn it properly, i have learned python using SoloLearn (not to advertise) are there any better choices?

[TodePond]

hey Luke, where did you learn js? in school or online course or where?

I first learned javascript on codecademy! it was quite nice and simple back then though

[TodePond]

creation video done, also cursors and screen of fame done

[mahdoosh1]

creation video done, also cursors and screen of fame done

Amazing!

Can't wait for the finished Video!!

[TodePond]

arrow of recording video done

[TodePond]

arrow of noise video done

[TodePond]

notes:

• [x] title sequence misaligned background
• [x] flip the panning of some things
• [x] slower noise manipulation - add extra left and right if needed
• [x] fewer 'berds'. or at least more muffled during zoom it
• [x] lack of clarity at "it's a noise". either lengthen clip, or replace with a more different one, eg: multiple noises?? hm. or maybe remove and make the previous clip more zoomed out
• [x] stack arrow names in column
• [x] too much bass on bass
• [x] remove extra strum before riff
• [x] riff too loud
• [x] remove gap(s) from riff phrases
• [x] b roll section in riff is too fast - out of time?
• [x] "no music" too spaced out
• [x] remove first bass sound - confuses what is being shown
• [x] extend kalimba pattern
• [x] consider simulating trimming with "left and right"

[TodePond]

feedback applied, except for panning, which I'll do when I'm using my better headphones

[TodePond]

connection video done

[TodePond]

voice for time done

[TodePond]

video for timing done

[TodePond]

timing voice done

[TodePond]

first half of timing video done

[TodePond]

wrapping up for today, did most of the music for timing video. maybe add some wind instruments tomorrow

[TodePond]

notes:

• [x] maybe tweak down the volume of second voice?
• [x] tweak down volume of some later sounds?
• [x] maybe a build-up sound to the "chain sounds" section
• [x] maybe "chain sounds" could be low-passed? maybe not tho
• [x] consider showing berd at "chain sounds". maybe too soon since the last time though. and blank screen is kinda cool.
• [x] increase volume of strumming in chain sounds song
• [x] leave pause after "chain sounds". remove excess sounds for clarity.
• [x] remove pop on "one beat later"
• [x] remove pop later on somewhere
• [x] fix timing of xylophone & visual. visual is too late (or xylophone is too early?)
• [x] ripple delete "months later" gag. not clear enough
• [x] consider showing image of the arrow in the paintpond clips
• [x] consider drastically slowing down "chain sounds" section and build up with wind instruments instead
• [x] zoom in on closed eyes dancing berd
• [x] just try out a more dampened effect on second voice

[TodePond]

feedback applied except for the "chain sounds" ones because gonna do more with that section anyway

[TodePond]
