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

porno

no really i do

XD I don't really understand how that helps you construct a game, imo I'd get waaay to distracted. lol

 

[Kraft]

Symphonic and Epic Metal.  Those tell stories plus have the awesome Symphony backing them that is so awesome.
Bands like Dream Theater, Blind Guardian, Symphony X, and Kamelot. 

And well... Whilest I love that genre.... I am also a HUGE sucker for Euro and Rave Techno... ^_^
(like Basshunter, Tiesto, etc...)

i used to listen to mad noise when i was working on bazonga quest and shit (cccc <3), though when it comes to writing in inform i mostly stick to stars of the lid or cLOUDDEAD.

I haven't actually started making any games yet. I'm still looking at tutorials, but when I'm on my computer in general I'll listen to linkin park or metallica. Stuff like classic rock or modern rock(you guys call it emo rock).

I usually don't play anything, because I'm somewhat of a perfectionist and I have to test play whatever scene I'm working on like every 2 minutes.

Also I CAN'T play it when writing dialogue, because I'm always singing with the words and it completely distracts me.

I prefer metal. I don't like that Cannibal Corpse shit though, where everything is die, hammer to a face, dick, ass, needle in your clit, ect...I think you get it...

All sorts of metal too. My favorite metal is Melodic Death Metal, but I also like thrash, grunge, symphonic, speed, epic, black, etc...

Some great bands that are axamples of melodic death metal are Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy, In Flames, Children of Bodom, Ceremonial Oath, and the list goes on.

I don't just like metal though, I also like jazz, blues, and classical music.

I prefer listening to metal, because, being a musician, I love listening to all the crazy solos and licks. Plus, it's one of the only forms of music in which you can jump up and down, be crazy, mosh, get sweaty, and just all around have fun. Believe it or not too, it also helps me concentrate on homework, and stuff. It's very soothing for me.

I've started listening to NPR while drinking coffee at the Starbucks.

 

[Romancer_Zero]

Oftentimes I listen to commercial RPG music ( I realize that's extremely nerdy), which would include the likes of Wild Arms among MANY other OSTs I have on my hard drive.
But the actual artists/groups I listen to would include heavy metal (Slipknot, Mudvayne), rock (ACDC, Bad Religion), and sometimes I put on some Silverchair while going through emotional crap.

my audio resources to get in the game atmosphere

 

[Feldschlacht IV]

Anything I feel like listening to, from video game soundtracks, Lupe Fiasco, to a Chappelle's Show episode. I'm not set in my ways at all.

 

[united washcloth express]

Tool, Porcupine Tree, some of Opeth's softer songs, ect.

And when I'm stuck on whether or not my writing sucks, I listen to a Pain of Salvation song and realize that it can't be any worse than one of those songs. It helps my self confidence.

 

[PK8]

Pretty much anything I feel like listening to. Not that I get much inspiration from it, it just somewhat keeps me from being bored.

I switch it up depending on the mood of the levels I am designing. It could be heavy metal or vamperic goth music if there is going to be a character death. I like symphonic music for the most part, but sometimes my girlfriend will put on something random that will give me some great ideas. And sometimes I just listen to the sound of an empty bottle. :cheers:

Currently I have been listening to the tracks in:

[hbplayer][/hbplayer]

As well as various songs on youtube, mainly Florence and the Machine.

I'm finding it distracts rather than helps at the moment though :|
