Hi I've been playing the stereohead game wearing headphones. I'm fairly new to ear training, are my ears just not trained enough to hear the depth of stereo using headphones? or should I switch to using monitors left and right to get a better ear for this?
I would try them both. I feel like the game is helping me be more sensitive to stereo separation while wearing headphones as well as monitors. And (for me, anyway) my sensitivity is different with each.
I think the game has potential but needs improvement...
imo it could be improved by:
1. Reducing the time between dying and respawning,
2. Making the boundary between game states clearer: - Between reloading, give a visual indication via a progress bar of when the laser will be recharged, this avoids the scenario where a user attempts to fire too soon, then waits too long and dies. - Between death and respawn states, give a visual and audible (maybe?) indication of both when the ship *will* respawn, via a progress bar, and *has* respawned, via a brief flashing of the borders of the screen.
These are just my opinions, but I suspect it will lead to the false impression that the controls are clunky or muddy, there's just not visual feedback of what's happening. Most games use audible signifiers for time-dependent affordances by using reload sounds, or a classic respawn grunt, but obviously we don't want that.
On the plus side, I have to say the sound design is on point (unsurprisingly), for what it is, at high volumes, the final seconds of the incoming drone is legitimately creepy as hell and borderline scary.
