Every mower sounds different

Mowing is a sound as much as a sight.

An engine per class

Every mower class now has its own engine sound, from the soft whirr of the hand mower to the roar of the biggest machines. All of it is synthesised by the game itself. The Electric Mower got extra attention: it used to be a pure, far too loud tone, and is now mostly blade whoosh over a low hum, at the same loudness as its neighbours.

Music

The background music is now Suburban Sprawl, a relaxed track that fits long mowing sessions. Its loudness is matched to the rest of the mix.

A trailer from the game

We added a trailer mode to the game: it plays a fixed script on a steady 30 fps clock and writes every frame plus the sound effects to disk. We then mix in the music, so the result is a crisp 30-second video made of real gameplay.
