Quote (Alan D @ June 08 2006, 03:49) | Quote (the_bulldog @ June 08 2006, 06:22) | Something in the demo that I had (and I've now had two different ones, but not the full-featured demo, that many talk about) caught my imagination and fueled my desire to see, hear and do more. |
Ah, I should explain why I made my comment about the demo. You're the kind of person (as I am, as María is, as Gary is, etc) who was certain to get hooked on MusicVR whenever or however they encountered it. I too saw the demo and thought "I want MORE of this!!!".
But in hindsight, I think the demo gives no glimpse of the richness and depth of the game, nor of the enormous quantity of music it contains. It hooked people like you and me, but we were easy game. I question whether it would do much to entice people who are merely wondering whether Music VR is for them. In fact, a lot of negative comments about Tres Lunas are made by people who've only seen the demo.
By contrast, the demo for Maestro really DOES gives a good indication of what the game is like (though it led me to expect a lot more music in the game than there actually is, which is one of the disappointments of Maestro). |
Alan, for me, the "hook" was the music with the rose or spikey ball avatar - variation of the same music heard briefly when in entering Dali-Temple World after Mantis Island Ring. I'd still love to find the complete musical piece someplace in Tr3s Lunas. I may try to extract it from the demo, which I still have on a backup someplace. Though I've never used the ogg software, if the demo is in that format, it should be possible. I'd be interested to know the thinking of NOT using that music in the actual game.
Along those lines, does anybody know the progression of the music and MusicVR? By this, I mean did MO write the music, then work with Colin & Neek to create worlds and activities around it, or did the game take shape, and Mike just wrote the music to fit. Unfortunately, I have never seen some of the interviews, etc. done early on in MusicVR creation/release. If you, or someone else has some links to the earlier AV files, or audio files of Mike commenting on MusicVR/Tr3s Lunas/Maestro, I'd be very interested in getting them.
