The type of game I had in my head while composing was some sort of "HD-2D" type aesthetic since there's a lot of blending of traditional SNES-era sounds as well as more complex virtual instruments. I draw a lot of inspiration from traditional RPGs and I figured this would be a similar kind of game, but in space.

I composed The One Who Swims in the Stars first since I was coming up with a ton of ideas and thought it would work well as a sort of "title sequence" type piece. The other two pieces took themes from the original piece as a starting point to try to flesh out a new situation or environment.

For Meteor Shower, the working idea was "battle theme", but it eventually, after adding more twinkly arpeggios, it started bringing up mental images of traveling quickly through a meteor shower. The piece isn't all stressful though; I tried to convey the mix of emotions someone might feel as they surf through the meteors- dangerous but beautiful.

For Moonlight, I used the first melody of The One Who Swims in the Stars to create a slower, more reflective piece.

Message from the artist
This was my first ever jam and it was a blast!

Theme

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The image feels very off-world to me, something aquatic, mesmerizing, sometimes dangerous, and not too far removed from open space.
