Are there some people that shouldn't be able to access these things? Yes. Do controls already exist for that? Also yes.
I think the most interesting aspects of this for a #gamedev would be the memory restrictions.
Like, we'd have an entire game - audio and all - in less space than you'd devote to the icon these days.
That's why it's called a haunting melody

Latest game was very well received at BITs - far beyond my expectations. Got a ton of very useful feedback.

Check this out. Well, not right now as it's not out yet. But in a couple of days it will be. Still if Mr Shaw's music doesn't get the old blood pumping, I don't know what will.
