Track description | Creative process
I wasn't going to participate in this jam due to being busy as hell but inspo struck 5 hours before the deadline so. This exists now.


Anyway, 4pm is a nice time because it's way too late to be afternoon but it's also a tad too early to be evening. The Afterning. Evenoon.


I'm a musician, not a words master.

Either way, it's also a time when you really just want to laze around and do nothing. So I tried to reflect that vibe in the track, while also making it cute sounding because you can be cute and laze around. Multitasking baby.

Nice work here. I think there's a nice full sound when all of the instruments come in. I think the mix could use a bit more balancing, but the overall composition is good. It definitely fits the theme as well!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, definitely something to note from this jam

Love this, the call and response lead parts just like the game, the cute rhythms, the "vocals".  It annoys me that you made this in only 5 hours lol.

Big fan of a track with layers added to it. Gives me a more older AC. Love the cute sounds!

Developer

Nice track, the synth and the rhodes are very good together, simple ideas that fit the Animal Crossing vibes!

Developer

Thanks!

real good, the beginning of the track took me back to wild world and like the gamecube game but later on I got more of a new horizons feel.  though imo i def get more of a 7pm 8pm kinda feel from this but I can see the 4pm in there as well. Great Job!!

Thanks!! I haven't heard Wild World or Gamecube, but the inspiration was new leaf even if the style isn't 1 to 1 similar. Was trying to do a afternoon-evening feel with the track, maybe I leaned a little more on the evening side than I thought sksksk

Such a nice piece, great work for only a few hours! I think that as well as being a late afternoon song, it fits well as a shop theme too XD (I haven't played ACNH tho haha)

Developer

Thanks! Now that you mentioned that I can kind of see it, has that similar cheery vibe sksksk

Meowsynth is a bit too loud here! Otherwise, a solid entry.

Developer

This is so adorable!! The synth at 0:48 is👌 

5 hours is crazy, and think I might be crazy hearing KK in my head now. Nails the mood, wonderful job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!! I'm glad you like them, I had fun trying to pick the synths that fit the cute chippy vibes c:

Fun, playful little piece. I like it, though the synth lead was a little harsh on the high end of the pitch IMO.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, woe upon me for only realising after the submission :'D

I really like the cheerful and carefree character of this piece, I think it fits very well with the game. Great job!

Developer

Thanks!

Lovely and cute, just by the instrumentation and simplicity of the melody you capture the vibe of the game really well! I wonder how you would take this one further given some more time ^^. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!! Would've made it into a 2 min track if I had the time, add a B section with different chord progressions and all that jazz. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20~
