We finally have a stage for our 🎶spirited band leader 🎶and her beat 🥁buddies but they’re still silent! What should we make these little guys sound like?
This is a set piece for one of the collectibles in the game, beats. There will be beats scattered throughout each zone, so finding them all will be a real challenge. We’re currently working on giving them sounds so thought it would be fun to hear ideas from you all.

Edward and I are kindred spirits with this character, who’s name is Harmony. We were both in marching band through high school (trumpet, trombone) and thought a quirky nod to our roots would be fun in the game. Between that and our other partner Kevin, who does composition and audio, we have a lot of musical roots at RBG.
We channeled The Music Man as a reference for Rafael to sprite, though only kind of after-the-fact, since she’s very archetypal. It was one of those tropey topics where you can describe an idea in detail, not exactly knowing where it’s from. And of course, the character Rafael created had more spirit than we could have hoped for.
