Zeile 32: Zeile 33:
 Individuality is showcased in various ways throughout the entire game. Sound-wise, players can start "humming" at any point by the press of a button and can build their own "sound" by arranging different chips together that will inherently reflect something about them as individuals. Individuality is showcased in various ways throughout the entire game.

 +Each chips have a distinct sound associated to it. Combining multiple chips will often produce a mix of those sounds when the corresponding action is performed. Enemies also have unique sound that help distinguish them. Finally, Transistor features an extended collection of sfx that convey important gameplay information : cooldown refilled, hurt sound, ability unavailable etc.

 +==== 2.3 Conveying Gameplay ====

 +The entire Soundscape changes when players enter TURN() mode : everything gets muffled, the music becomes quieter and an extra humming melody starts playing. Transistor also features evolving boss music, amping up tension until the very end of hard encounters.

-There is a big mood switch in terms of sound between TURN() mode and normal gameplay. During normal play, the players have to react on the fly to enemies movement and attacks, leading to a more frenetic and impulsive gameplay. This completely shifts when they enter TURN() mode, as the world around them becomes frozen. Instead of quick reaction, TURN() mode rewards slow, methodical thinking, asking players to come up with a strategy that won't backfire once they get back to combat. +There is a big mood switch in terms of sound between TURN() mode and normal gameplay.

A muffled music and hummed melody guide the players towards that mentality change : When the soundscape is sharper, they have to be quick. When the soundscape becomes softer, they need to take their time and think.

 As compared to Transistor in terms of combat, The Binding of Isaac fights are always real-time and for that reason more hectic. The sounds inform the player of what’s happening in the room and serve a more utilitarian function instead of Transistor’s “sound sequence as a reward” that plays at the end of the strategic TURN() mode. As compared to Transistor in terms of combat, The Binding of Isaac fights are always real-time and for that reason more hectic.

 In a sense, Transistor’s soundtrack is more unified and immersive, while The Binding of Isaac’s is patchworked and all over the place. In a sense, Transistor’s soundtrack is more unified and immersive, while The Binding of Isaac’s is patchworked and all over the place.
