I'm wondering if it's possible for Media Molecule to, sometime in the future, allow us to select different sound effects and animations for different things. For example, when you make Dissolve material dissolve, it turns into a puff of smoke and disappears. What if it simply disappeared instead? What if it went back and forth from transparent to opaque and then disappeared (like in 8-bit games)? What if it busted into fragments and fell off the bottom of the screen? What if it popped? ^^^ You get the idea. And the sound effects. What if instead of hearing wind when something dissolves, you heard something else? A popping sound? An explosion? What if instead of hearing a popping bubble when you collect point bubbles, you heard a ka-ching or a collected coin sound fx? Also, in the backgrounds (I don't know if anybody noticed) there is sound effects. In the Gardens background, you hear a dog bark, a plane fly overhead, and crickets (when the light is turned down). Every background, except for DLC backgrounds, has environmental effects. It would be nice if you could turn it off or choose what you hear. How Media Molecule would set all this up would be up to them, but I imagine that there would be some kind of animation device that when triggered, would change the animations of the game to the customized animations (up until another animation device was triggered). The player would select the desired animation from a list. And the same would go for sound effects. Thanks for reading. Please comment.

I couldn't agree more. I don't like how there are certain effects that are forced on us. The vapor effect and sound should be optional for both dissolve material and emitters and the same goes for the brains and sticker switch sounds. It would also be nice to assign any of the sound effects to the magic mouths.

I agree too, I really like the dissolve material idea, I would want my dissolve material to just explode in fragments instead of that one boring dissolve. lol

or simply be able to turn off the sound effect.

So basically like a Powerpoint, with "transition effects"? I like the idea, especially about sounds, because I want to turn off sounds and effects on the Paint Switch and the sound on the Sticker Switch. I don't think they'll add in new effects, but it would be great if we could at least turn on or off the vapor effect in emitters, dissolve, creature brains, etc.

You can change the sound that dissolve makes when it disappears. Simply put a speaker of any sound you want on the dissolve, and set it to "On Destruction". It completely covers up the wind sound that the dissolve makes when it disappears. Same goes with objects when they disappear after emitting from an emitter. I agree with the background sound effects, I would simply like the ability to turn the sound up and down for the background.

there are times when I would rather the disapearing materail whould just shut-up, and go. in one of my levels I have emmited let's that drift down, then expire. I meant it to be a subtle, gracefull effect, but it sounds like bus breaks.

That sounds a really cool idea, I don't know maybe they could add kinda of like options to certain things to change the affects and sounds for example maybe on dissolve if this was possible there could be a Dissolve Effect tweak Dissolve Sound tweak And so on I like that, a nice idea

yeah, good idea. since the sound is allready loaded, we mey as well have some control over it. So, one thing has been bothering me. what happens to all these ideas...anything? or do they just languish here untill they are burried?

We just assume that MM follows these threads meticulously... ...but really, it's just us venting...

Well, if an idea gets enough attention, maybe Mm will notice it and add it to the game.

I like this idea Plus have this true for plasma balls as well (sorry if anyone already thought of this) The sound on an emitting plasma ball makes me want to kill myself the sound is so annoying. If i could shut that sound off it would be awesome. I also agree with the background sound effects, they ruin the effect of my level Turrotolia, i used the temples background to make it look like the forest, but when you enter the spiders' lair you still here the stupid owls and other creatures of the nights and it completely ruin the cave atmosphere.

Also able to change the sticker switch sound.. god.. I know lol, too obvious and loud that you've placed a correct sticker it would be nice to be able to turn that off or change it something not so loud and obvious

ya i agree, I think it woulb be a sick effect if you could emit the black smoke that appears when you die in fire and therre are so many in-game noises that would be really useful that we don't get, and even music like the catchy jingle from tutorials and the epic tune when you look for levels in your pod...

You should make a petition for LBP ideas. It would let MM know more. And that's half the battle!

simple idea, it would seem like a simple fix for media molecule too
