       There's... an entire... musical language... in Tunic.The sound effects and music are all textual data encoded into chords.It's everywhere, and a lot of the sounds are very short, and frequently fairly hilarious, jokes.When you finish a game in speedrun mode, the tone says "time!". When a probe spots you, its robotic gibbering says "No Foxes". When you cast a spell the casting sound says "A O E"I'm screaming my fool head off at this.Birdsite thread from the dev: https://twitter.com/regameyk/status/1583200241222053889

       One thing the Tunic dev talks about in that spoiler-heavy thread is their mantra in dev of "Mechanics for nobody". They deliberately put stuff in the game they didn't think anyone would ever find because putting it in gave them joy.A lot of it got found anyway because you can never accurately guess the fuzzing capability of thousands of players all trying weird stuff for months.But more importantly, being able to just go "I'm burned out on this boss's AI, I'm going to go code a secret into the dot pattern on this macguffin's underside" or something is a really good way to personalize a project and keep it from becoming a death march.
