While working on much bigger music revisions, I’ve replaced many of the placeholder sound effects in the game. In this short clip, you can hear the sound effects for the smasher and the treble clef pickup. Each of these takes a different approach to sound design: The smasher takes a realistic approach and the treble clef pickup is more imaginative. For the treble clef, I was inspired to approach it like Nintendo does (especially in the Zelda franchise) and make a musical pickup noise that layers several musical ideas on top of each other. I like the effect a lot and it fits in beautifully because it’s in the same key as the cave music!
