I did some work on the graphics tonight. Everything is much more gray now, in the main menu. I almost want to make it feel clinical.
Additionally, I removed the background music. I know, I know – after all that, just to pull it out again. But the musician has had an accident, so rather than just launch with one song I’ve decided to launch with none. Also, I noticed some strange behavior when running the audio with MediaPlayer. I’m not sure what it was, it just seemed weird. I tracked down something that made me think that maybe MediaPlayer.State doesn’t update very quickly; if so, then that’s probably what it was.
I fixed the bug with the timer; it appears that I was using realtime rather than gametime. Switching that over fixed everything right up.
Finally, I’ve added the audio capabilities to the story screens. It’s pretty slick, I must say. The clips still convert out to wav files because I’m managing them as sound effects currently. I might get around to fixing that, but I also might not. It would involve using MediaPlayer, of course, on Song files, so you know – see above.
How lazy.
