Track description | Creative process
For this track, I tried to create an alternative to one of the early afternoon tracks from the original game's soundtrack. I imagined it would fall somewhere between 11am - 3pm.
Because I am not very familiar with the Animal Crossing games, or have any intimate knowledge of the games whatsoever, I tried to focus primarily on the elements that were consistent throughout the many tracks. This is the final result - a track that focuses on a lighthearted tone with some subtle harmonic changes thrown in to add some momentum.
Hopefully you all enjoy! :)

really like the instrument choices and there is so much playfulness in track, fits the theme of sunny island vibes and the sfx is a vibe and the use of it has been done tastefully, really like the work here !
Thank you for such a nice comment!
Thanks for listening! :)
Minimalistic, yet still relaxing and interesting!
I love the feel of this one, I know you mentioned you're not familiar with animal crossing games but I feel you captured the feel of the slice of life aspect of the game quite well! Not gonna lie to me it gives more lazy morning vibes like 11am than afternoon, but nonetheless this is a beautiful track! Great work :3
Now that I've listened to much more Animal Crossing music, I would absolutely agree that it may be more suited for the morning than the afternoon.
Thank you for listening to my track!
The song has great melodies. Great chords. But I feel like this sounds great for Stardew Valley. Great song!
Nice harmony and melodies) Great instrument choice and vibe overall, strong submission!
Captured the tropical vibe pretty well, the beginning of the track felt in place in a animal of the crossing game, though near the end it went a little too far out there (too much was happening ig, takes away a little of the minimalism of the games). Nonetheless a really solid track great job.
Nice swing rhythm. Guitar strumming works well. Pleasant gentle melody. Like the key change at 0:51. Nice song.
Thank you for listening! :)
Humble and well crafted.
The sound of the song is really nice, but I don’t think it fits the theme well. The composition is a bit bland in my opinion. I do understand how hard it is to get the Animal Crossing sound right, since it is simple, but not easy. The song itself is pretty cool.
Good job! It's a nice tropical track, I like it.
I'm happy to hear you liked it! Thanks for listening
Gives off a real FEEL GOOD vibe, really great
Thank you much for listening!
yeah I can see this as a 3pm siesta track ahaha
Good job, it's a really nice track!
Yep that was kinda the vibe I was going for :)
Thank you for listening - glad you liked it!
