This one was considered sad or along those lines by the devs. I intended it to be a menu track.

While wanting it to be more fast paced and action packed it was seen morI e suitable for something related to vehicles or quicker gameplay. This one's meant to loop.

 

I guess they aren't that fitting to a fantasy survival RPG retro inspired indie game after all.

 Yet, radio silence from the developers as to the project's status or anything about it.

 

Started both of them sometime around May 2025 and finished in the following month(s). 

Never ending progress really:

Begun sometime in December 2022 if not earlier. Had many creative blocks and it's still not too good. Finished today.

Initially (now deleted) it contained a more gladiatorial part of the dialogue between the main character and the last boss but the main campaign developer thought it sounded too oriental. Well, afterwards it became too medley. So, I pictured it something like fighting the last enemy leader or a verbally heated prelude to that at least.

Keys of uncertainty:

 Started in April, done today, 6th of June 2026. Went with some rave in mind but ended pretty weirdly minimal orchestral. Kind of monotonous in places. More like testing VSTs and some playing/use techniques.

 Started in February 2022 with long pauses and idea lacking. Finished the polish sometime around the first part of this year.

 The game leader thought it was like two compositions and I guess it's a bit too varied for a game especially when trying to capture a certain mood/theme. It should be playing in a monastery village thing.

Differently the same:

 Begun in April. Finished today. Tad repetitive really but has a nice mood overall methinks. Little funk, some rave wannabe and a splice of orchestral, why not.

Take one II:

 Continuation from: https://deepstrasz.blogspot.com/2026/05/take-one.html

Made this one sometime in May 2025. The devs wanted a more old game sounding experience so I found some Super Nintendo soundfonts (samples from those games that can be used as virtual instruments): https://www.williamkage.com/snes_soundfonts/

 They weren't too satisfied with it saying it sounded more like some James Bond inspired track which I can't necessarily deny, however, from my point of view it's rather Mission Impossible.

Still radio silence from them.

 Made this sometime around May last year for an indie game under development. Didn't quite sound that retro as the main dev wanted and didn't really come out as something too playable during the game in terms of battle and all. However, the reason I put it to everyone's ears is that the team went radio silent for months.
