Jumble memory:

 moon of Hapis (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH_Ho99yo9g

 Started this as a vocal sketch sometime in 2023; finalized today (worked upon this month). Mainly inspired by Kevin Riepl's soundtrack for Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict, a game which I never played but knowing his stuff on Unreal Tournament 2004, gave the soundtrack a listen way back, around the time the game was released or not too late after.

It's a bit of a chaotic mix overall but I'm not totally dissatisfied. Tried some new stuff in a way.

Concretely uncivilized:

Started in March, finished today. Wanted to try something more city inspired, nightly and moody.

Path of uncertainty:

Made this one in September 2026. Started early, finished late.

Got inspired to make a composition akin to Ulfsire's Path of Achra soundtrack but it degenerated into a virtual instrument testing fest.

Return of the gone:

 Started sometime in 2020 on classical guitar, worked a bit this spring and finished today. Pretty minimalist. A friend said the intro's a bit flamenco inspired or the like. It has no bass line since the 7th string with this virtual amp really did its job alone.

Take one almost final:

 First Super Nintendo style one made for the project. Kind of lacking in the first part.

 They liked this one the most. Not my favourite.

 

Following: https://deepstrasz.blogspot.com/2026/07/take-one-iv.html Zero replies from them devs to this day.

Both made sometime around April 2025 using William Kage's SNES extracted soundfonts.

Pay gun not good:

 pagan zest (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj3iUvhsRqo

Started the sketch in 2018 on electric guitar. Begun it entirely with synth instruments in April 2026 and finished today. It's OKish, a bit too many pauses and tempo ruptures.

Take one IV:

 devilish donnybrook (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQbhClwOKIE

Started-made in May of 2025. Intended to be a boss fight but considered too medley. The composition uses soundfont instruments extracted by William Kage.

 And of course, why not, no word from the devs after all this time.
