I'm posting because I'm part of a team of three, developing a narrative driven, 3D binaural audio game (entirely accessible to the blind and VI community), featuring explorable, immersive sound worlds, a complex dramatic story and multiple innovative audio mechanics based on psycho-acoustic principles. The game will be available on PC/MacOS/Linux, and Android/iOS.
We've just launched the Kickstarter, and we really need some help keeping the momentum going to surpass our target.
Here's the Kickstarter campaign page, which has a lot more detail, I didn't want to write a wall of text here, as well as an early pre-alpha demo of the game:
And our socials which are pretty active at the moment.

Music
Dragon Valley 2 Beta
First arrangement of 'Minor Boss'
On August 4th, 2020, Woofle uploaded 2011vs2020 [Freedom Planet/2], a comparison between her oldest work for Freedom Planet and a newer piece of music for its sequel. The first 32 seconds of the file consists of the oldest known version of 'Minor Boss', which used to be a more straightforward arrangement of the original MIDI file.
Point Cedar (Rage Ravine Unused Stage)
Present on the game's soundtrack. As can be inferred by the name, the song was intended for a level cut from the game. Through a document stored on the OST, the developer had this to say:
Thereisnopasswordscreen
Neverends mac os. On July 15th, 2014, Woofle uploaded Thereisnopasswordscreen.mp3, the description of the track stating that it is unused BGM for Freedom Planet.
Woofle's Commentary
Included with the Soundtrack release of Freedom Planet, there's a document that includes
- She originally intended for the 'Main Theme' to be more emotional, which didn't work out.
- 'Dragon Valley 1', 'Dragon Valley 2', and 'MEANIE Boss!' were redone late in development as Woofle weren't happy with them.
- 'Lilac's Treehouse' was created accidentally while trying to redo Dragon Valley.
- For 'Relic Maze 1', she went for a slower rhythm and added more layers to it to compensate for the slower pace.
- 'Relic Maze 2' was the first song she was allowed to solo compose. She ended up taking the melody of 'Relic Maze 1' and turned it into a different track altogether. As proposed by Strife, the track went with a 'spy movie'-like vibe.
- For 'Fortune Night 1', she used one of the tracks she composed during middle school, one she originally intended for a desert highway level. She ended up incorporating the melody Strife originally composed for the stage after the first run of the chorus.
- The Cutscene tracks 'To The Rescue', 'Here Comes Trouble!', and were all composed by her alone.
- 'Major Boss Battle' originally stemmed from the same project file as 'MEANIE Boss!', the melody being different at certain parts. She also included a heavier beat to make it feel more dire and frantic.
- For 'Shang Tu Royal Palace', Strife proposed something that sounds regal, refined, and noble.
- 'Meet The Team' may be one of Woofle's favorite tracks.
Prototype Tracks
From 2014 to 2017, Strife occasionally posted some of the base tracks that eventually made it into the final game.
2011
December 14th Footage
New beta video of Dragon Valley. This is a full playthrough with both acts. The only thing that's left to do, really, is replace the Robotnik signpost.[30] Jarheads mac os.
The earliest gameplay footage currently found is an eight and a half minute YouTube video. It had originally been uploaded on Dec 14, 2011.
At some point, Strife removed the video from her channel, but it eventually found its way in form of a re-upload. This re-upload was quickly made private but before that, another person had the chance to record the video and made another re-upload[7].
As Strife eventually confirmed, the build of the game seen in the video has never been made public and has since been overwritten.
Health is shown with a ring bar, as opposed to flower petals. Collecting more rings replenishes health, and getting hit costs one or two. The course time also used to be right above the health bar, until it was eventually moved across from it.
Each zone is composed of 3 frames. The middle frame contains both the end of Act 1 and the beginning of Act 2, such that when the boss is defeated, the gameplay picks up right after the fight ala Sonic 3. The downside is that I have to copy and paste code to more frames than normal, but I think it's a fair trade in order to keep the game running smoothly.[31]
The stages used to be split into two acts like in the Genesis Sonic titles; in the final game, they are considered one big stage.
Similar to the Sonic games, a sign has to be crossed to complete the first act.
Like in Sonic 3 and Knuckles, there's a seamless transition to the second act and the character starts from where they left off.
Zelle Kickstarter Demo Mac Os X
The right side of the mid-boss room isn't blocked off by foreground tiles and breakable rocks but the camera still prevents the player from walking away.
Dragon Valley ends earlier; after the player goes through the brief underwater section and climb up the ladder, they come across a door that leads to the boss room.
The Serpentine (Hunter Snake in the final game) had a health bar to the bottom-right of the screen that would decrease every time it's hit directly.
- Only the mechanical enemies explode after colliding with foreground tiles.
- The Star Flounder shoots its projectiles in six directions instead of two.
- Lilac, while boosting, gets bounced back after hitting one of the Hunter Snake's parts.
- The springs look vastly different to the ones seen in the August 4th prototype.
- Most sound effects used are still taken from Sonic games, many of which were replaced before the release of the August 4th prototype.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Ring, Monitors, Springs, Spinning, Dash, Fire Ball, Splash, and some of the Explosion sounds.
- Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Grab sound
- Sonic Adventure: Jump sound
- Voice clips from Mischief Makers are used as placeholders for Lilac.
The music in the footage is different from any of the prototypes and the final game.
Zelle Kickstarter Demo Mac Os 8
- The mid-boss, invincibility, and stage clear themes are all in an earlier state and sound more like synthesized midi tracks.
- Both acts of Dragon Valley use placeholder tracks from the game Dragon Seeds, Battle on the Holy Plane[8], and Dragon Fire[9] to be exact.
- Prologue Part 2[10] from LaTale is played during the major boss fight.

April 2nd Footage
This shows about half of Relic Maze Act 1, along with some of the changes that have taken place since the last video.[32]
- Relic Maze's music lacks the background vocals of the final version.

| Time Stamp | Transcript |
|---|---|
| 00:00 | Milla: barks |
| 00:01 | Lilac: Don't be scared, I promise I'll keep you safe. |
| 00:05 | Milla: Really? Can.. Can I touch your hair? |
| 00:11 | Carol: Earth to Lilac. Earth to Lilac. Is anyone in there? Hehe. |
| 00:15 | Lilac: Carol, this isn't funny! |
| 00:16 | Torque: Sooner or later there's gonna be a war. |
| 00:19 | Carol: What do you mean, there's no way that would happen! |
| 00:22 | Torque: Those oversized tin cans ain't gonna care we're ready or not! |
| 00:26 | Spade: Hmpf. Am I supposed to be afraid of you? |
| 00:28 | Zao: We have been totally honest with you, Doc! Our supplies are dwindling! We barely have enough crystal energy to get through the month! |
| 00:34 | Brevon: Those crystals are mine. And my property will be returned to me, one way or another. It would be most.. unfortunate, if you chose not to return them, willingly. |
| 00:49 | Serpentine: There is only one way to deal with troublemakers like you! |
| 00:52 | Magister: We are aware of the invader's true intentions, but we are also aware of the terrible power he possesses. |
| 00:59 | Neera: We don't have time for your questions. If I were you, I would back away. Very slowly. |
| 01:01 | Lilac: Don't think I'm going to give up because of this, I'll never let you win! |
| 01:09 | Spade: sigh You just don't know when to fold up, do you!? |
| 01:14 | Brevon: laughs |
July 19th Gameplay Footage
This one shows many of the changes and adjustments that have been made since the sorely outdated beta video of Dragon Valley. It also shows Carol's gameplay in the second half.[33]
- Dragon Valley is still split into 2 acts, marked with a spinning flag as opposed to a sign. This was changed before the first demo.
- Music and sound effects have been changed. The death noise from Sonic games is still in the game and remained in the first demo.
