And now for something in the same vein as my other "side C" works, but a bit more specific: 3-3 Night, specifically 2 player mode, which hasn't been touched since launch. I've been waiting to see what the team did with it for a while now but it seems this is just the final version of the level. (MIGHT be changed in the future but I'm not holding out hope)
Which is a shame since, let's be honest, this is the same as the daytime version of 2 player mode, and strictly easier than Distant Duet Night single player.
I wanted to make this harder, but also in a fitting way.
Adding more characters seems... strangely inappropriate in this setting. So I'd better have a good reason to add one.
The Parrot here, I guess, kind of acts like the bridge that connects these two despite them being on opposite ends of the hospital. It flies between the two like I'd imagine it might in the in-game world.
And the way it mimics the melodies from the other patient is like the bird carrying a message with it to the other.
Known Issues:
Production isn't exactly my strong suit. I'm pretty new to FL Studio and I just downloaded my first plug in. Maybe I used it wrong, but I think I probably could've recorded a better whistling sound myself. (If I update this, I might just do that)
Also, things begin to sound cluttered towards the end (offset by the fact that this is a 2 player song) though the idea here is that I'm going for that delay pedal kind of effect? Though I'm not a musician so I can't really talk.
If an official version does get made and it's like... super amazing, that'd be nice. But if it doesn't, this may persist.
EDIT: This level does NOT work in double speed or half speed. The files I used don't get pitch shifted or timestretched so that's an issue. I haven't considered that mode but yeah, that's... certainly a concern.
Also, I struggled a lot with that title. And to be honest, this level did not need one. But hey, I got it, and I'm running with it.
Side note: You know one funky swing pattern that's peppered throughout the level? I struggled a lot with it's timing for some reason.
I think it's as close as it's going to be, but the tick is like 0.7777? I don't know. It seems like it should be 0.75, but if I do that, it either starts off the beat (which would make the last section sound very off) or it doesn't end in the right spot. I don't know. If you have a better way to make that beat work let me know. It was a head-scratcher while making the level.
