What do you listen to when constructing your 'game'?

[Dean]

I usually just have itunes on shuffle... I find my best moments of inspiration though while listening to the electronic, electronica, instrumental, and emo genres. XD

 

[Dargor]

It always depends on my mood. One day it can be Ayreon, then later I can switch to Necrophagist... You get the idea But I often listen to melodic/symphonic music.

(Didn't we had a topic like that before???)

 

[Tachiba]

since the genre fits it, ilisten to alot of rap when makin games.  Alot of people ay its only bout gunz,hoes, an killing, but tats only in certain sub-genres.
i've heard rock and country talking bout that too.

 

[Venetia]

I listen to the OST Shizu and Rexx have crafted for me :shades:

 

[Despain]

whenever i'm working on something serious i usually put on noise which i find helps me concentrate on creative things. <3 merzbox

when i'm just chillaxin' i usually listen to porcupine tree or i, mountain

 

[Spoo]

I'm usually looking for tracks for my game, so I listen to stuff like Enya or The Venetian Snares.

Of course, if I come by the slight chance I get my music list done, I'll probably have Creed or Matchbox 20 playing.  It all depends, I guess.

 

[FlippyD]

I open iTunes expecting to start listening to music, but then I get distracted with making the game.

 

[Grathea]

Varies. Generally shuffle from some playlist. A solid beat is a must, however. Other than that, I don't really discriminate in terms of genre.

 

[dadevvtsvre]

Whatever's on my computer, basically, which is mostly good ol' fashioned rock 'n' roll, and techno as well.

 

[Whiskey Dick]

Usually sports or news.

 

[Cruelty]

i love listening to keith olberman when i'm constructing tedious menus. 8D

i dont listen to music because i frequently 'test' while i'm coding/whatever. then the bgm kicks in while the music is playing, and yaddayaddayadda

 

[Dargor]

when i'm just chillaxin' i usually listen to porcupine tree or i, mountain

holy shit I love Porcupine Tree, especially when Mikael Akerfeldt sings on Deadwing

 

[moog]

porno

no really i do

 

[harbino]

I listen to whatever tracks I want to put in my game... whenever I am music searching for files to put in, I will preview it from start to finish...

 

[skirtboy]

Harry Potter audiobooks.

 

[Mundane]

Tool.

 

[eharper256]

Rarely do I actually have sound on when mapping, eventing, scripting and such like (need to concentrate, man!) but I find it quite relaxing and spiriting to listen to Rock when plotting and writing story related events up on paper.

Strangely, I find it even works when one is doing something totally unrelated, like a romance scene or something... bizarre, huh?

 

[XPhater]

I listen to whatever MIDI I have that relates to whatever it is I'm working on.

Some of these I've been listening to for 8 years!  Damn real life.

 

[Dr. Funk]

Gogol Bordello

 

[Twirly]

Soundtrack of my game XD
