Hi there
Tell me about it. I'm working on a game with BGT. It's my first time
programing so it's a good program to start with, but I just didn't know how
much work went into making a game.

well sometimes lists do come up with stuff.
There are sertainly more things on the forums than the email list these
days.
A lot of new projects, thanks to bgt and other things there are a lot of
beginner hackers and such putting together a lot of good non vanilla
stuff.
I am envolved in one such project testing and doodling with sfx.
Its interesting and empowering when you get something and think that
whatever it is is just a piece of pure crap.
Its another thing when you can actually do something about it being so.
And its sometimes hard to do, finding sounds and other things that fit etc
is a challenge in itself.
you don't know as a user sometimes just how hard things are.
A thing may sound quite crappy when in fact it probably wasn't destined to
be total crap but ended up being so because the dev couldn't find
something to replace it with.
I have come over some of that myself.
Some stuff is obviously junk but I have not been able to find a way to fix
it without issue.
In the end I just had to switch around the best of the stuff to make it
work, its not satisfying but for now that will have to do.

Yep, guess everyone is on the audio-games.net forms. Lists die when forms
