Audio

This is a sub-page of Proto:Grapple Dog/Steam Next Fest Demo.

To do:
Compare & sort fmod sound effects.

It's all here; early audio, placeholders, deleted files, even duplicates!

Embedded Audio#

Sound effects that don't make use of fmod are embedded into the game's data.win as mono audio files. A lot of these sound effects are from this trailer. Whilst the majority of these sound effects go unused, a handful are either in one of the fmod banks or actually play in this build.

Only amb_wind and sfx_UI_menu_back don't have any valid audio files. Both files are just 140 bytes with zero's in them.

Music#

This demo misses music from The Great Workshop, Trials of Valour and a few cutscenes, and while a lot of the music isn't used in demo mode, it still has plenty of slight differences.

Track	SNF Build	Final	Description
Proceed			The volume and amount of reverb were increased and a few samples were replaced.
Get Into It			A few samples were replaced. This track's soundbank also doesn't have separate files for its intro and loop (and has a proper ending), though the track loops perfectly in-game.
Superblast!			All of the samples in this build got replaced.
when did it get so cold			Some samples at the beginning of the loop got removed entirely and replaced with a repeat of pattern 3 and 4. There's also a brief pause present at 0:08 that doesn't exist in the final version.
Bitterbean			The bass instrument was replaced and some extra reverb was added. In the demo, the soundbank also doesn't have this track separated as an intro with a loop, so it's one track. Even though bonus stages are playable in this build, this track never plays.

One of the Magnibox tracks subtitled Tutorial still exists in this build as an fmod bank. It still has a file entry in the final game, though it's empty.
