Background Music and the Right Vibe

As the scenes started coming together visually, I realized something was still missing: sound. Specifically, music — the kind that sets the tone and pulls you into the world without you even noticing.

The Opening Video: A Soundtrack Starter

I started by adding background music to the intro video. Since the video is the player's first impression of the world, I wanted the music to feel atmospheric but not distracting — something cinematic but subtle.

After some digging through royalty-free music libraries, I found a track that fit perfectly: slow build-up, ambient textures, just the right amount of mystery.

Music Controls – Pause and Play

Of course, not every player wants constant music, so I added a simple UI button in the top right corner of the screen:
Pause / Play BGM

When the player taps the button, the music pauses or resumes. It’s a small feature, but it gives the player more control over their experience — especially helpful if they just want to focus on environmental sounds or voiceovers later.

Why It Matters

It’s easy to underestimate how much background music contributes to immersion. Even just looping a subtle ambient track can completely change how a scene feels. Without music, things felt static and empty. With it, they became emotional, atmospheric, and alive.

I’m still experimenting with crossfading between tracks during transitions, but for now, the basic system works — and it already adds so much to the experience.
