v0.6 - Add audio


After two weeks of bashing my head hands against the keyboard, I've finally finished adding a song and sound effects to the game!

Although I'm using simple, pixelated textures, I decided to make the song in LMMS, a Digital Audio Workstation. It's the first time in quite a while that I've used it, but it allows me to make songs quite different than I usually do... Since I went with a more ambient song, using lots of effects and delay/echo, the song also ended up becoming way longer than what I'm used to.

[edit]Out of curiosity, the only VST I used is called JazzBaby, listed on LMMS's tested VSTs: https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=Tested_VSTs [/edit]

For the sounds effects, I ended up sticking to BFXR, which unfortunately will stop working by the end of the year, since flash is getting dropped by every browser. I tried to use Usfxr to import the audio, but I didn't really like the result... Some audio waves aren't supported, and I couldn't find any way to simultaneously play a sound effect multiple times (like, playing the landing sound twice if two boxes landed at the same time). However, since Ogg Vorbis has a really good compression rate and the audios are quite short, using the exported audio files didn't make the project grow too much in size.

For the next release, I'll probably do a small customizable thing... Then, I think the game will finally be somewhat ready for a first release!
