Description
Soundtrack inspired by classic retro RPGs. Set in a small town where young teenagers have to live fun and mysterious adventures.
My DAW is Ableton. I've ussed DefleMask and hardware synths (microfreak and Hydrasynth Explorer).
All of the tracks are loopable. The idea is to fade in and out before the loop starts.

Wow...How have you been able to create so much music in such a short time? Awesome!
I think that the different moments were well reflected in each of the tracks.
My personal fave is Dice Tower. It sounds really good♥
Very well done!!
I really felt the atmosphere of the old 8-bit games.... The muffled percussion complementing the tracks, the retro sounds and effects... cool!
Fight And Repeat - my favorite) This track makes me feel deaf and growing threat. Heh)
As others have mentioned; great job on getting so many tracks out there! This made for a fun listen, kind of blending into the 16-bit era with some of the choice of synth voicings and patches, with the occasional dip back into 8-bit.
I personally really liked Dice Tower - some really cool melodies in this, and the progression is pretty great. Choice of patches works really well here - sounds dreamy and rather luscious.
I enjoyed the creative use of percussion as it went on, the short little bursts really did remind me of the 8-bit era and the various tricks they'd use to produce drum-like samples. The DnB take on Rasta was fun, also.
Good work all in all, these seem to all be set up to loop back over themselves seamlessly so they'd have no issues being dropped right into a game.
Last Minute Rating Spree
Good job on making so many tracks! I rhinkf this one of them, particularly walk in the woods, it could have benefitted them to be a bit more developed. Your ideas and your chiptune sounds are good, but the tracks seem a bit too minimal sometimes. Particularly the one I just mentioned is basically just a loop with a moving filter and could be so much more with some percussion and additional, maybe even contrasting elements. You seem to have a good ear, but I would recommend doing fewer tracks next time and committing more to the ones you have.
Wow, 12 tracks! Good job, must have been a big effort haha.
I think some more development in each track would make the soundtrack a lot better. You introduce a lot of good ideas in each track, but they seem to go no where at times.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed my listen. Great work.
Thanks! The themes are designes to be looped, this is why It sounds incomplete. In any case i wanted to use chiptune and microfreak to avoid waste too much time on each track.
I like the style you went for because of how unique it is from other entries but I also think a lot more could be done with each track.
as they are now they are a little simplistic and I think if you lowered the number of tracks and instead fleshed out a couple of the songs to be longer with more sections it would improve them a lot.
still these are really nice and I like the variety.
Very cool! I definitely hear the classic RPG elements of these tracks. I can already envision a cozy 8-bit adventure waiting to happen. I can tell you spent a lot of time thinking not only about the corrolation to the theme of the jam but the game you wanted to make an OST for. Very planned out and finely executed!
Really thanks, I'm actually thinking to create an RPG maker Game!
Great job! That was quite a bit of music. I love the approach of maximizing musical ideas. It made me want to spend an evening sitting comfortably on the couch while playing some retro RPGs.
Thank! Mi aproach of this was to work quikly with ideas with chiptune and microfreak. I've almost no production, so I have more time to prototype.
In case you don't have time to listen to them all, I recommend you listen to: track 4 (Dice Tower), track 5 (Afx), track 6 (Hippie Ballad) and track 11 (rasta).
