Hey folks!
I'm the developer of SoundSelf! I read this forum while I was looking for any news from E3 that I may have missed, and the discussion really moved me.

A few things!

1) I really want to hear from you folks, especially if you've played the game ("game". We'll be updating with a new build as soon as we get Mac / Linux support, but if you have a powerful windows machine we've got a relatively new build on the page ( www.soundselfgame.com ). What worked, what didn't, where you wish it would go but hasn't yet - that's all really useful for us in developing the project.

2) We're a really really weird experiment, and we're pouring a lot of time into the project because we think it's beautiful. It's unlikely to be very commercially successful because of the nature of the thing. But if you want to help us spread the word, it would make a huge difference. SoundSelf is on facebook and I'm on twitter.

3) If you're going to Burning Man, come looking for us! We'll be registered with the Artery and out in Deep Playa somewhere.

Well first off I have to say this thing has potential for sure. In it's current state I can def feel it having a trance like effect on me. I have a few suggestions to increase this effect. These are just an idea not sure if these are the types of suggestions your looking for.

Have you considered integrating binaural beats? I would think that matching the frequency of the binaural beats to your voice could be a pretty intense thing. Or maybe choosing a freq to use might be better not sure. The sounds you here in the headphones are awesome. Some of them were actually kind of DMT-esque.

I toyed around with adjusting my tone up and down really fast and it did have some effect, it would be nice to see this effect stronger.

Some of the tunneling effects were about to get real awesome but they changed to something else. I think tunneling really helps to make it seem like you are moving which IMO causes you to "fall" into the experience more.

The only problem I found was that I was starting to get very high from not breathing. Playing with it more I can see there is a great effect when you stop and let it go on its own after creating a tone. Personally I would like to see it take up more of the screen more often (not all the time) and to become more intense as I use it.

These were really just a bunch of ideas that popped into my head while using it. I like it how it is, not knocking it at all. VERY cool and runs smoothly on my computer! I can't wait to try it when it gets dark outside.

hmm, maybe it does get more intense the more you use it?

I swear I was on the verge of having a breakthrough just now using only this software. Wow. This is actually kind of crazy. Makes me feel like I was tripping.

EDIT: So I used a tone generator app to mess around with this program, i used highs and lows and there were some cool effects. When I jacked the tone up to 13,877.6 HZ the tunnel was shaky and vibrating at a cool rate. It was pretty neat. Wished I had an oculus to see this with.
