01 Today I Worked On


A radio that lets you play your own music through the radio in game. 

You can place .mp3 or .wav files into a specific custom content folder and the radio can browse through this folder to play them. I'm still thinking about the way I'd like to let you manage the songs on the radio. For now it works as it is, but I can think of ways to make it more interesting. For example, what I'm leaning towards is using cassettes. There would be a tape deck or similar machine that lets you write the individual songs to cassettes that you could put into the radio to play. I'm open to suggestions or ideas though. The reason I'm leaning towards this, is because I think it would be a fun way to let me insert my own songs into the world for you to find. I have ideas for how other media might be used as well. For example, CDs might have lore or floppy disks could have things for your computer system like free upgrades.

I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to let the radio work together with audio volumes to create reverb or wall occlusion, so for now room-based effects aren't working. I'll come back to it when I get some more experience to see if I can figure it out with what I learn!
