Description
My first time ever joining a jam event! I really enjoyed the process of working on this project. I might consider using this soundtrack for my future rpg game, so please look forward for that as well! ^^
I decided to challenge myself for this track after learning about the theme "Runaway". So I composed it in a way that the notes don't actually go "home" (except the first part since that's where it begins). It was definitely tricky not to add any F notes, but I still believe it turned out great!~

Genre: Orchestral
Runtime: 3m 20s
Software I used: FL Studio 20
Theme:
Runaway
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
I somewhat imagined it to fit in a section of a game for traversing the forest or hiking. I made the first part sort of eerie because it represents the "sweet home". Then, it progresses to a peaceful melody as this represents the character finally heading out of their home. There are some sections where it gets calmer, the character sort of reminiscing their home but they don't want to go back. Overall, I intended the soundtrack to be for relaxing yet adventurous games. (Somewhat like Genshin Impact OST / Breathe of the Wild OST)
