Game Music

[Maker]

Those will be great for dark/creepy areas. As far as the cricket goes for Wiken Graveyard, I agree it should be nixed, but having it chime in for just a few chirps occasionally would be cool.

For a lot of the areas in the game I think drawing inspiration from Dark Cloud could be a good idea. Examples below:

Dark Cloud Main Theme
Norune Village (less high pitch wind instruments though)
The Spirit King (really good one)
Reminiscence (really good one)
Wise Owl Forest

Explosions in the sky: "Time Stops" for city music.

Minecraft also has some pretty damn good music:

"Living Mice"
"Minecraft"
"Subwoofer Lullaby"
"Wet Hands"

Also adding this one:

I went ahead and got the Caustic music app and am working on some music for the game too, using above music examples as inspiration. We'll see how much it sucks soon!

Hey guys, just a little update; I've been slamming the books at my university lately so I haven't had the time to update and/or work on new stuff.


Yo Maker, do you have Steam or something we could use to communicate?

[Maker]

I don't have easy access to steam since I'm mostly using my phone and am out and about. I have Google chat/hangouts which'll notify my phone though, and I can chat through that. Email account is in my profile. Just message me whenever you see this.

Also, just an idea, but what if instead of having the music play constantly, it plays a song every once in awhile at random from the list for that area (Minecraft does this and it's pleasant and leaves you wanting another song to play soon rather than shutting off the sound because the same song has been playing for hours).

[Folder]

Yeah I'm a fan of that randomness. I agree that the same song -every- time you're in an area can get old.

[Maker]

Ok so not an experienced composer here, just decided to pick up a new hobby for the sake of the game. First song idea is below. Does this sound at all like what people were thinking for town music? Just want to know if I'm going in the right direction. No layers or anything here, just using a free acoustic audio pack.

It's a step in the right direction for tavern music imo, simple string stuff is good. It's not perfect but I think you've got the right idea .

I keep/kept forgetting to listen to these when i get home -,- ah well input is already being given anyway, so eh... keep up the good work folks!

[Lateralus]

There is some great music in this thread would love to see some make it in the game. Whats the status!

[Clown]

Hey, sorry for disappearing but university and daddy duty take up most of my time and with little interest in implementing the music by the developers (other, more pressing, priorities like optimized code; I understand), I allotted my free time elsewhere. Whenever they are ready for some sonic assistance (icing on the cake), I'm reachable by email or these forums by PM.
Keep me updated and I'll get back to work.
