Description
The Diamond Heart sountrack is an original composition by LikeFire1989 using classical orchestral themes to bring together a large sound to represent the story of Wyn, our protagonist. All three tracks were created and composed in Ableton.
Step into the world of our young and unlikely hero, Wyn, as he embarks on a daring quest in the Realm of Lumina, the Land of the Waterkin, to find the Diamond Heart, a magical stone rumored to reside in the deepest depths of the Darkreach Waters. Legend says it grants its holder the ability to manipulate time and traverse worlds. Zenith, the Lord of Darkveil, seeks the throne of Lumina and will stop at nothing to claim the Heart.
Wyn is set on this quest by the Elder of Silverleaf, a small village in Lumina. Accompanied by his loyal companion, Flicker, a magical badger, Wyn embarks on a journey filled with fantastic adventures and peril. Together, they must stop Zenith's malevolent pursuit and restore peace to the world of Lumina.

I really like the way some more medieval sounding things are blended with more modern synth elements and leads throughout. Gives an interesting classic + arcade-y mix and vibe. Also the chords at the start of Beyond the Veil are really catchy. Great work!
Medieval sound♥
What can I say, this is so well done, super solid!!! And I enjoyed the journey from start to finish.
AMAZING ENTRY!!!!
Thanks for the nice words and good luck!
Lovely stuff! You bring a great contrast to the theme of the post that you're trying to build off and it works so well.

BUMPUS 🦕
Thanks for the kind words!
The soundtrack screams "Adventure!" The orchestral style really works with the story that you were trying to tell. Excellent work!
Thanks a lot! We appreciate it
You install a world that we want to discover, I really liked it! Great job!
Thank you!
Your soundtrack catches that grand magical adventure vibe very well.
The Diamond Heard ) Very epic and you feel the gead adventure starts. I feel like I stand on the frond border of a ship as the waves clashing in.
Winds and Wispers) forboding, enchanting mystical atmosphere.
Beyond the Veil) Great finale. It also catches that adventure feeling but with a heavyer aditude, like in the middle of the climax.
Nicely done
Thanks for the kind words. We appreciate it!
Magnificent use of flutes in Winds & Whispers, The Diamond Heart is really good, and Beyond the Veil melody is awesome! Really good submission, and the quality is perfect. One of my picks of the day!
We appreciate the kind words! Thanks!
Very good submission. The orchestration and arrangement is done really well. I love the majestic vibe you went for. My favorite track is Beyond the Veil. Overall, I really like this one. Keep it up!
Thank you for the kind words and the feedback!
Amazing job! I really enjoyed the medieval style in your songs, It reminds me of SNES games I played as a kid :)
I liked the buildup and percussion a lot in the third track!
We appreciate it!
I can really imagine your OST fitting well with the artwork you used. I recommend delving deeper into Wyn's story because it would clarify the use of certain music within the video game. As for the music, I have to say they are well-written, the medieval sound used is fitting, and I like the timbral choices you made. Everything sounds very good, it's definitely a yes from me!
Thanks for the comment! Our game description is on our page but have copied it onto the submission form for convenience. We appreciate the feedback!
Ah, sorry, I’ll retrieve it then!🙏🏻
Nice medieval vibes! Beyond the Veil has a sense of grandeur that I appreciated. Nice work!
We appreciate it and thanks for the feedback!
Hola! :D
I gave your soundtrack a listen and I am so excited that I got to hear yours. I had listen to several submissions, but this is the first one that I heard that utilized the approach of bigger motions (like real deal composing) and you also nailed it! Your portrayal of the theme(s) as well as their evolution/"thickening" is truly impressive. Lots of people fall victim to the game-space limited mindset, in which they must do something "new" or "different" every couple of measures or so, as OSTs back in the day had to make the most they could, and make it memorable, all within the limitations (like under 1 minute, maybe 2, per track, and this is on things like the NES, SNES, etc.)
I love a captivating track, but I also love a well-thought out/stretched out one all the more. You did a phenomenal job on really bringing forth the musicality within your works. Aside from the theme of the jam, I am amazed at the writing and delivery on its own. Great job! :D
Really appreciate your kind words. Really loved Yui and Kuida as well!
I like this a lot! sounds very RPG-like, and reminds me of something you’d hear in the 16-bit era of RPGs, like from Chrono Trigger, or Secret of Mana. Nice work!
Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite games and was one we had in mind while writing these. Thanks for the kind words and feedback!
I like how it is medieval sounding. As others said, it reminds of Final Fantasy. Cool stuff.
Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate it!
Really neat vibe you have going on! It feels very adventure RPG in a great epic way. My favorite track is Wind and Whispers, I really love how serene it sounds and how it feels like it's breathing. Great work, would have loved to have more information on the game concept!
Just added the description from our main page into the submission page. Thanks for the kind words and feedback!
Love the sense of adventure and hopeful sound of the music! Reminds me of stuff like Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy. I would've loved to hear about your game concept and what lead you to choose this style of music though!
Hey thanks a lot! We just sort of let the melodies fall out and build around it. We decided the first day on an adventure style concept and it came together from there. We’re sort of new to orchestral arrangements but are absolutely loving writing this kind of stuff. Thanks again!
Music matches the art perfectly! Very unique style as well, good work
Thank you for listening and feedback!
