Description
Genre: Orchestral, Contemporary

This track "Openning" represents an opening of story. like opening anime. This song that could also serve as a happy ending to the game. It would work in a cutscene.

The other song called "space palace" would be a gameplay song at a later point in the game, where the villain of the story would be discovered, the game I imagined is an exploratory and reflective game. Where the main character has an obsession with reading, and upon discovering a mysterious book in a library "la piccola favola" realizes that she can enter the world where that fantasy story takes place. This fantastic world is full of diverse environments that mix enchanted forests, vast oceans and deep galaxies. The game tries to be something appreciative like jorney and others like it

Fore compose each track use Sibelius for the score and Cubase fo producer in DAW

Theme

Inside my world
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
I believe that the songs fit the theme because I made them thinking, in the case of the "opening" in a fairy tale imagined by the protagonist; So he has this air of romantic imagination. "Space Palace", like the other tracks she would make for the gameplay, has a slightly denser feel, because she already discovered that her imagination was corrupted by a villain. The idea that the world created by the character in reality is her own mind corrupted by real events that that book leads to triggers these repressed memories, which is why the songs are contrasting. Because our own world has several distinct layers in an introspective journey

Really nice work, the middle section of the first track is so beautiful! The guitar accompaniment over the strings' sustained notes works very well, and I like how it's not just one instrument playing the melody all the time.

Wow... It was an incredible and wonderful adventure full of emotions, life and fears... cool!

I liked it very much! Thanks!

These compositions sound really solid! The tracks are produced well, and I enjoyed listening to them, especially with the context of the story!

The "problem" is that these go on for a long time, with not a lot happening. This is okay, but I think that the tracks would've benefited from a shorter runtime.

Overall, solid submission!

Wow, you really went all in with these pieces! So cool you provided the scores as well. The music to me screams JRPG. Well written and captivating use of melody. Great job!

Lengthy tracks. This is the first entry that I've seen with 6+ minute tracks. But the ambience helps me to think of these as background tracks, which makes sense. Great work mixing two distinct themes!

Great work here.

! I love the contrast between the two tracks (Space Palace reminded me a lot of being inside Sin in FFX), and the orchestration in the Opening was beautiful.

Nice work!

Really nice OST, great composition and I feel like those fit your theme perfectly. Space Palace specifically is exactly what I would expect from a game! Nice job!

Thanks!!!

Great work, nice compositions and arrangement you have good melodic ideas, sometimes the the main melody sounds a little too "midi programmed" if you know what I mean and less human for an orchestral piece. Mixing the choir and strings is beautiful but in your tracks if you EQ a little bit and space the choir and strings a little bit more so its not always in the mid-range it will help so much and make everything even better to listen to. Great build up, nothing to say composition wise you already  have a good understanding on which emotions to put through the music. Good job !

Developer

This wonderful feedback. Thank you very much. You are actually correct about the mixing, but that was due to time. Due to some work, I wasn't able to focus on the jam as I would have liked. So some elements, such as the chorus, were taken directly from Sibelius' interpretation. So much so that I submitted minutes before the deadline. But I intend to produce it better in the future. Thank you very much for the feedback and tips, I will take them into account.

I liked the flute quite a bit and the whole piece reminded me of songs I would play in school band class despite us not having string instruments.

Love the big romantic orchestral sweeping sound in the first track, and how the piano brings in that bit of playfulness. The second track is a lot moodier and impressionistic. It's got an eerie feel about it with the sustained notes - very well done!

Developer

Wow, what a wonderful feedback to read!! I loved your words, thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the songs!! Thank you very much!!

The bell in the intro of "Opening" sounded a bit like Hopes and Dreams from Undertale lmao. Though I really love the composition in that one. Especially the ending part, it really sounded like the climax of an RPG trailer and that's awesome. "Space Palace" is also tense and your orchestral style still holds up well in an ambient track. However, with the name containing space, you did mention deep galaxies as well, I feel like more ear candies could be inserted to populate the second song. Should help create more memorable moments in that song.

Very cool feedback!! Thank you so much!! I loved the tips about the second song! It's something to think about, thanks again. Glad you liked it

Great orchestration and use articulations throughout. The layering of each instrument is really well done, and as a whole the piece progresses well. Really like it when the piano comes in accompanied and supported by the staccato strings. Great work!

Developer

Wow, I'm glad you liked it!! Thanks for the feedback on the orchestration!!!
