The sound of an Operating System


One of the main challenges of Mainlining was to try and work out what an operating system sounds like. We knew we wanted the game to have a detective/noir theme and as a massive fan of the Sam & Max series and Wolf Among Us OSTs we contacted Jared Emerson-Johnson, one of the first collaborators to work on Mainlining.

We now want to share a few tracks from the game. Some of these you may have heard before in the Demo or Beta but others are fresh from the studio.

A Goodly Clue was one of the first pieces developed for the game and helps indicate to the player that they have stumbled across something to further them in their case.

A Ball of Worms comes later in the game after certain events have transpired and you start to feel a little out of your depth.

A Ball Of Worms

Finally, Internal Downtime was developed as a moment of peace, letting the player look over what they have found and reflect. You need to slow it down so you can speed it up.

Internal Downtime

We hope you have enjoyed these tracks and we look forward to sharing the rest with you at the end of the month.

Thanks,
Sam

Protege el conocimiento, salva la historia. Guardian of Lore es un platformer 2D en el que debes luchar para mantener viva la memoria de la mitología latinoamericana. El juego llegará a Steam el 18 de mayo: https://steam.pm/app/1211740 #ScreenshotSaturday

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Today I tackled drawing different variations of facial expressions for one of the main characters in Eden. What do you think of it? :) Eden: https://gamejolt.com/games/Eden/592698
