The homepage for this project has this video [1] under the heading "See it in action". It starts off with background music that progressively gets lounder and at about 30s the vocals start to drown out the narrator. Why do people do this? Did nobody watch this video before uploading it? What was going through the mind of whoever made this video? Wild.

I hear the effect you're referring to, but I'm not sure I would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. It seems about as muddled as most modern sound mixing when there's talking combined with other sounds, which is why so many of us use captions all the time, now.
The dev here. Thaks for the feedback. I'll try to do better next time. I'm a single dev with cero knowledge of video editing (as you clearly noticed :P).
