Description
The soundtrack, of course, has four main themes centered on each of the four seasons. It's based more on music from simple games like Stardew Valley or EarthBound. In order to convey the sort of feeling the game is, I used full sentences to show whats going on.
I used Logic as a DAW but used a lot of soundfonts from preexisting games.
Message from the artist:
I hope you enjoy the music! This was a lot of fun to make, and if I had more time I would have made a lot more music! :-)
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
Each Season has a main theme. Essentially, each of the four seasons are out of wack since the denizens aren't as close as they used to be. It's nearly time for the Spring Festival, yet the town's sacred flower is refusing to bloom. It's up to the protagonist to help solve their problems so they can be friends again in time for the festival.

Hot dang, this is a lot of great music! The story is super cute too, I'd definitely want to play this game. Each track pulls me along with just the right amount of momentum and transitions so smoothly into the next piece. As everyone else is saying, great cohesion! The tour of instrumentation throughout is especially pretty. "Stepping on Autumn Leaves" is my favorite, so catchy. I love this very much, excellent work!!
30 minutes wow! all the tracks are very nice, all got a nice atmosphere and work well together to make a comprehensive soundtrack! nice work!
Very good work, nice atmosphere!
Damn, you managed to produce a lot of material with excellent quality in a short time. The tracks are very cohesive with each other. My favorites were 5, 14 and 18. Good job!
This was so good! It's so impressive not only how many songs you finished, but how cohesive the project is. Also, I really enjoyed the detuned piano in track 4. It really stood out because it still sounded so musically in balance with the rest of the track. Great job!
So good! I'm amazed at how many songs you have. There are some perfect mood setting pieces here. I can really feel like I see the characters and the flow of the scenes. My favorite stand out track is Stepping on Autumn Leaves, but there are quite a few I really like. And the instrument choices are two thumbs up. I like your naming convention of the titles too, totally sets up the scene. Nice job!
The amount of work done is really impressive
some tracks are really fun and some are really atmospheric ^^
the instrumentation on the last one is really soothing :)
The idea for the sax + violin solo in Autumn is really cool and ^^
the last track hit, super beautiful!
This is great! I really like 14 and 6
very atmospheric, very nice
this a vibe
DUDE YOURS IS SUCH A VIBE TOO. Your music is so good it manages to fit what you're going for perfectly. It sounds so so good.
#5 slaps, idk what else to say
Aw thank you! :-). It was one of the pieces I had the most trouble with, so I'm very glad you enjoyed it. I thought yours was cool as well—the concept SUPER interests me. It's a game I think would be suuuper popular.
This one's rather wonderful. Props for it being - theoretically - the kind of game I would probably actually play, and would most likely really enjoy.
Thank you!! I quite liked yours as well, the way your pieces combine orchestral music with silly motives to define your characters and ideas. All and all very good!
