Hey everybody, it's Jeff from Dirty Full Pinball. It's Friday and Friday about the spirit of giving. And in the spirit of giving, Barrels of Fun made the mistake of giving me a labyrinth. I've been playing it and joining the hell out of it. And I was talking to David and we got onto the audio package. He asked me what my thoughts were and if there was anything that I would do different. I shared some ideas and uh he liked them. So, I'm going to work on giving Labyrinth a complete audio overhaul. And it's done right now. On the Barrels of Fun website, you can download what I'm calling Labyrinth 2.0. And it has a ton of new things. Everything from a complete new sound design package in the spirit of actual Labyrinth. It uses the synthesizer, the Sin Glavier that Trevor used in the original score to help give it that absolute labyrinth feel. All of the music has been remastered. All of the film assets have been remastered and rebalanced. All of the side chaining technology that we put into Dune and Winchester. Boop. That is in a labyrinth now. Thank you, Eric, for taking the time to do that. We've really just given this the absolute equivalent of a fresh coat of audio paint. And uh yeah, it's available now. Please go get it. Tell your friends, have a party, bring people over. If you are uh know of an arcade that has a labyrinth, maybe let them know and have them update it. This is uh you know something that I really wanted to do to give a game a lot of love that uh I found myself really enjoying unexpectedly. So again, thank you to David for letting me do this and the opportunity to make Labyrinth kind of have I don't know, every barrel is a fun game now has my mark on sound. I appreciate that and uh I hope you enjoy it too. So uh without further ado, stop watching me and go download the damn thing Friday. Heat. Heat.
