Feels really weird to play a fps nowadays with keyboard only controls and no mouse look, even if it's old. Modern FPS controls should be the default but it might be good to leave an option to switch to "retro" controls. Shouldn't be hard  |

Yes, although it seems like you really need the mouse in that gif.
Great blood effect btw

Yeah, I think this level has the most beautiful background. But it is a kitschy postcard sky. Now I added a "count up" for collected ammo:  |

Began with the equalizing of the songs. It is really tricky to make it sound well (and similar) on different speakers and headphones. I got the best results when I cut off everything below 200 Hertz and above 5000 Hertz. This generates a very synthetic sound that reminds me of old devices. And it removes those frequencies that are a pain in the ears if you hear them too long or too loud.

Mixing is done! I decided to use a frequency range from 250 to 8000 Hertz. The "Whoop Whoop" moments caused by interference effects disappeared and it seems to sound very similar on different devices. I composed 20 tracks and some levels have their own melody, for example Marrakesch: The Boss-levels have a speedmetal soundtrack: and the levels that take place on a car or a train get some fast and hypnotic tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2VtLoqKYl8 |

That's good to hear The selfcoded synthesizer has one huge drawback: it only supports isolated staccato sounds. There's alot of C64 and Amiga music that is dominated by a continuous sound that changes it's tune only by bendings. This is very typical but I couldn't reproduce it. |

Having recently revisited a few Rob Hubbard c64 game music (Commando, Monty on the Run), your tracks are quite similar to c64 music "style". |
