Description
Genre: retro space opera

Runtime: ~3:30

Naiya's Adventure is about two unicorns and a sheep flying their DIY spaceship to other planets to collect artifacts to save their home planet. Along the way they'll meet new friends, overcome adversity, and learn the value of friendship and community.

The game starts on the home planet of Naiya and Murasaki, two unicorns who are cousins.

"Intro (Wake Up)" plays during the opening scene with Murasaki waking Naiya up because they are late to a meeting with the town mayor. Naiya initially refuses to wake up, but eventually gets up and the two head to town.

In town, they find out that the planet is in grave danger, and they'll need to fly to other planets in order to save their home.

"Lift-Off" plays as our heroes blast off from the planet, ready for adventure.

Unfortunately, their journey is not without trouble. Later, the spaceship's engine malfunctions, leaving them stranded on a planet.

"Engine Room" plays as they investigate the engine to find out what they need to repair in order to continue their journey.

Each track was composed in and exported from MuseScore 3. I started manipulating the soundtrack in a DAW using midi, but ran out of time.

Message from the artist:
Thanks for checking out my soundtrack! Be excellent to each other.

Theme

Panspermia (Πανσπερμία)
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The game takes place across several different planets, each with their own flora and fauna. I like to think that the picture is of a mystical creature the heroes come across on one planet. Maybe this creature helps them repair their broken engine!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I'll definitely be putting these songs through my DAW/VSTs/hardware synths to have some better sounds and variety, I just ran out of time to do that for the jam. :)

Some cool ideas in here ! It will sound definitely better if you put those in a DAW with some VSTs :)

The musical ideas were cool, they would benefit from better vst or Kontakt libraries. Keep it up!

I love your instrumentation! Would be really dope to hear this live.

Fun couple of tracks! For a soundtrack, I'd recommend finding a DAW (or a different soundfont than the MuseScore default) to give the piece a more professional sound. Looking solely at the music, I enjoyed how each piece matched the description you gave. I can imagine this being a quirky, chamber ensemble-esque piece like the new Link's Awakening soundtrack. Great job!

Love how you used Musescore, very creative!

Thanks! It was definitely more comfortable for me, rather than starting out in the DAW.
