What changed
- UI and audio
- Gameplay
The game
soundStrider is a psychedelic exploration game, walking simulator, music generator, and relaxation tool. Explore endless worlds and save bookmarks to revisit for meditation, studying, or sleep. All of its sounds are synthesized in real-time to evoke naturalistic, abstract, and musical spaces.
The demo
Explore the beach, storms, pure oscillators, and more. Start an Adventure for a guided experience, or enter Free Roam to explore at your own pace.
This demo is a vertical slice of the soundStrider experience. The full game includes sixteen unique environment types, additional quests, and secrets to discover.
The developer
I am shiftBacktick, the solo developer of soundStrider. I'm a web developer and accessibility advocate by trade with a background in computer music.
soundStrider began as a submission for Ludum Dare 45 as a short interactive audio experience. Since switching to full-time development six months ago it has evolved into an entirely new identity and scope. Every day is a delightful learning experience.
If you enjoy this demo, please consider adding soundStrider to your wishlist.
