Track description | Creative process
I tried matching the different hours (13PM, 17PM, 22PM) of classical AC games for the DS and Wii. In doing so, I did not pay as much attention to the "sunny" aspect.

Nice ideas and definitely AC vibes from your work, even if not the Sunny theme of the Switch game. My favorite track was the second one, cute and wholesome

Thank you :D. I know it ain't perfect, but I am glad you like it and get AC vibes from it  :)

Love the handpan! Not to many songs with those. I'd like to know what VST you used for that cause it and the song sounds good! 

Developer

Thank you :D. I did not specifically use a handpan -- do you by any chance mean the "steel drums"? Those are included in the standard Musescore3 soundfont. If you mean another instrument, perhaps one of the drums like the bongo, feel free to get back to me :). I am getting more familiar with instrument-names, but I am not great at all of them yet haha

Oh yeah this fits so well, and really cool that you've paid attention to the day and night cycle

Developer

Thank you! That day and night cycle was fun to make too :D

Really nice track to listen to, I enjoyed having the different times as well :)  

Developer

Thank you, I liked making the different times as well :)

There's a lot of good feedback from other listeners that I would have to agree with.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed listening to your track - thank you for sharing!

Thanks :)

The bass drum is too EDM (harsh attack, too many sub-basses), not very ideal sounding for the job. The rest is pretty fine!

Developer

Not really a clue what that means ("harsh attack, too many sub-basses"), but I do agree that the sound was not ideal. I knew that before submitting actually. Thanks for listening :)

Nice melodies) Need quite a bit more volume balances, but overall very vibey tracks)

Developer(+1)

Thank you :D. Can you give me feedback on which parts need volume balancing, and which instruments need to be louder/softer? I always have a hard time noticing it myself.

Submitted(+1)

Shure!
Shaker overall need to be bit quieter.
Too much sub frequency in kick, and it's bit echoey in sub frequency. And also need to be bit quieter.
In last peace marimba is also bit too loud.
These are main elements that cathes attention

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for the reply! Now that you mention it, I do have to agree. Really helps :)

I think it works great like you say for a DS or Wii AC. Good job on the submission and having the 3 stages of the day on the same song.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! :D

These ideas are so cute! I think the vibe for each time fits well, and the sounds feel so authentic to Nintendo- I was just listenting to wii play music for yesterday's last minute crunch and noticed similarities. Nice work!

Developer(+1)

Ah, thank you so much :D. I'm glad you find the vibes for each time fit well :)
