What would you do if thrown into the world of the Gods?

The worlds have fallen into disarray. With the power of assent no longer being enforced, Gods can wreak true havoc upon their bubbles without restraint. Someone must stop them. and someone must find Her.

Godhood is a retro, electronic, and chiptune-based soundtrack for a theoretical story-based RPG. As a result, each track is set for cutscenes, levels, or bosses, and will be clarified. All of this was created in a Beepbox mod called Pandora's Box.

I really wanted to experiment with these tracks. I took some creative liberties with time signatures, EQ filter, melodies, chord progressions - the list goes on and on. The point is, I really got out of my comfort zone with this jam and I'm really thankful I did. I'm proud of the result and gained much needed experience!

(the rest is copy & pasted from project page):

Track 1 - Legend of Xara: The opening sequence. You learn of Xara, the Goddess of Assent, who brought peace and harmony to all the worlds. Her domain resembles the deep sea, with bubbles floating about housing each respective God's world. Recently, she has fled her domain and neglected her duties, allowing Gods absolutely no restriction to their worlds. The God of Direction has assumed control to ensure it stays this way.
The Hostel was where Xara imprisoned individuals who posed too much of a threat to the safety of their world. The God of Direction freed all prisoners, and recently, replaced them with innocents.

Track 2 - Title: The words "Godhood" appear on your screen upon a dark background. Bubbles float by, flashing scenes from the game at you. This is the title screen.

Track 3 - The Hostel (looped): Our protagonist, a teen version of the girl from the photo, awakens in a hotel without any memory. As she exits her room, several staff members appear to be extraordinarily shocked at the sight of her, and attack. She will have to use her "wind" powers to defend herself. She is prompted to free the innocent prisoners from the rooms.

Track 4 - The Hotelier (looped): An angry hotelier employed by the God of Direction tries to prevent you from leaving. However, he seems particularly lazy and not ecstatic about his job and is easy to defeat.

Track 5 - Inside Her World: The protagonist emerges within Xara's realm. It's dark and blue, the only light sources being bubbles - which are entrances to other worlds.

Track 6 - Boscage (looped): After noticing a forest aflame within one of the bubbles, the protagonist dives inside. She finds herself in a jungle with a sun shining so bright that it scorches all it touches. Locals see her and immediately start attacking her. She must head for the God of Radiance's resting place.

Track 7 - Charcoal: She finally arrives to the resting place, meeting a whimsical God of Radiance who isn't ready to back off so easily. Once defeated, he exclaims about "powers of assent" within the protagonist that somehow ceased his destruction. The sun is no longer scorching.

Track 8 - Reef: After seeing a stormy ocean within one of the bubbles, the next world is entered. It is a barren underwater city riddled with thieves and crooks, with a storm wreaking havoc above the ocean. Using her powers of wind, our protagonist forms an air bubble around herself as she progresses.

Track 9 - Undertow: Upon arriving at the second God's resting place, she meets the God of Climate. He is obsessed with riches and caused the storm in order to seize all citizens' belongings. When defeated, he seems to immediately recognize the protagonist.

Track 10 - Truth of Xara: Apparently, the God of Climate knows the God of Direction personally. Your powers of assent were apparently inherited by Xara, who raised you within her realm after you appeared one day. The God of Direction must have erased your memory. The God of Climate tells the protagonist where to find Xara - above Cardinal City.

Track 11 - Cardinal City: A high-tech city run by the God of Direction, draped in heavy cloud coverage. It is an economic powerhouse. However, it is heavily militarized, as you have to fight your way through multiple powerful enemies while traversing the streets towards the God of Direction's resting place, the top level of a skyscraper within the clouds.

Track 12 - Ascent: You begin making your way up the tower, littered with puzzles and whimsical rooms resided in by odd minibosses.

Track 13 - The Director: Before the fight, you notice the God of Direction has the exact same powers as you. He reveals that he is actually the protagonist's father and dumped her into Xara's realm to continue to attend to his duties without having a child to worry about. On top of that, he remarks that Cardinal City was built within Xara's original realm. With that, the protagonist and the God of Direction fight.

Track 14 - Heavens: After defeating the God of Direction, the protagonist emerges upon the clouds. The credits begin to roll as Greek structures float by on white puffs. The protagonist eventually reaches a figure, a vague outline of a woman and assumedly Xara. She taps her on the shoulder.

But the game finishes off before going any further.

Message from the artist
Whoops ... I submitted a Lot of tracks (14). my respect goes out to anyone who can sit through 35 minutes worth of my music.

That aside, this is my first composing jam and I am SO excited to be able to participate!!! I'm especially looking forward to listening to all the other submissions and seeing all the other takes on the theme. Good luck y'all, this was fun!

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
When I saw the the picture and word themes together, I immediately thought of individual worlds being encased inside the bubbles floating around in the art piece. I thought that the bubble figure would oversee these worlds, in which case they were "hers." I thought the picture would take place within Her world, where the child in the photo would have landed inside of "her" world from one of the bubbles somehow. I kind of took that concept and ran, and now we have Godhood!
