I was in-game tonight while you were testing various things out. I thought it was really impressive. The different light effects, the rain, snow, Tarzan sounds and the music. Excellent stuff! Smile

I do feel like I really need to make a suggestion, though. That lightning sound. You have the volume for it set WAY too high. If, the user has his volume set at a reasonable level so he can comfortably hear the background sounds such as the birds singing, etc. When the lighting sound happens it darn near blows the windows out. I tried setting the sound effects level down in settings and it didn't make the slightest difference.

If we turn the volume down enough to make the lightning a comfortable volume, we can't hear any of the background sounds.

In the couple of weeks I've been using this program, that is the only issue or problem I've come across. Everything else is marvelous Smile

We have tweaked the volume of this sound quite a bit lately. As it used to be, indeed, very loud. And then it was too silent. Etcetera. We thought it was ok now. But we'll check again.
Are you using the streaming client or the screensaver?

Last night I was using the screen saver. I don't think I've heard the lightning on the streaming client yet so I don't know how it sounds on there yet.
