Worlds and the Director in SYQEL Art

A world is a 3D place that moves with your music: a neon city, a coral reef, a snowy pass, a field of stars. The Director reads the shape of the song and moves you from world to world. A big drop gets a fast cut. A quiet break gets a slow fade.

Let the Director drive

  • Browser and computer: move your mouse to the top right to open the menu. Under JOURNEY, tick let the Director drive. It is off at first. Press the space bar to jump to the next world now.
  • Phone: tap the world button on the control card (it ends in Change ▸). Pick the first tile, ✦ Director, then tap Done. It is on at first.
  • TV: press the center button and pick ✦ Director.

Pin one world

  • Browser and computer: untick let the Director drive. Under VISUALS, pick a volume, then a world. It stays until you change it.
  • Phone: tap the world button, tap a tile, then tap Done.
  • TV: press the center button and pick a world.

Volumes

Worlds come in sets called volumes: Volume 1, Volume 2, Ambient & Chill, Tunnels, Kaleidoscope and Seasons. Volume 1 is free. The other volumes come with a plan, and a few worlds in each are free to try. On the free version, the Director only picks free worlds.

  • ✦ Pro or 🔒 PRO marks a world that needs a plan.
  • NEW marks a world that just arrived. New worlds download on their own while world updates is set to auto in the menu.
