Starting with this devlog, certain changes will be hidden behind spoiler tags. Please only reveal them when you’re ready.

Today the experience began to emerge as I finalized the UI and worked on some systems and sound design, including:

• implementing screens for configuring settings and viewing statistics and the current status
• porting various interface components from soundStrider for the settings screen
• creating a settings module to manage user preferences
• creating a statistics module to track metrics across multiple play sessions
• implementing formatting functions to help display statistics and status values
• modeling the surface of the ocean with 3D perlin noise
• implementing dynamic wave sounds that sample the ocean surface and position them binaurally
• implementing an aleatoric soundtrack in A pentatonic major
• modeling a dynamic wind system with 1D perlin noise
• implementing dynamic wind sounds

This build provides a pleasant atmospheric listening experience. Tomorrow I plan to begin implementing the movement controls so its world can be explored.
