Early Video Screening: Delving into Pikmin 2's Procedural Cave Music (Patreon)

Hello everyone! My next What I Love video is ready for you to see a day early! Pikmin 2 experimented a lot with level design using cave levels that piece together terrain pieces in random orders. But did you know that the music in those caves works the same way? Check out how this amazing MIDI system constructs music in realtime and still reacts to the player's actions!

Big kudos to my friend Waffles for help with the inspiration, research, and audio examples in this video! It's fair to say this wouldn't have come to fruition without their help!

I'm also proud to say this What I Love video marks my complete transition away from Adobe products! All the visuals you see here were put together in Blender, Clip Studio Paint, or DaVinci Resolve!
