I'm just listening to it again and again. In love. The main menu is wow. I don't have the words to describe the tenderness I feel. The piano sounds so light, airy and aquatic at the same time. The second one is so soft, makes an excellent background athmosphere. The last one is so epic, would already be an excellent game or film OST. Definitely one of my favorite submission. Thank you for sharing.

Description
Soundtrack for a more dramatic action-adventure/RPG with an ocean theme. My style is a cross of orchestral film score and progressive rock, with some electronic elements. I've done a title screen track, a track for a calm moment while exploring an area, and an urgent-sounding track for a climactic mission/level of some kind.
Message from the artist
I only learnt of this jam the day before submissions were due so apologies if the production isn't quite up to standard but I did my best in the time I did have!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I've gone for a more dramatic, heroic interpretation but I did try to capture an oceanic, East Asian feel that I got from the picture, and an earnestness that I got from the words "Inside My World".

This was a beautiful soundtrack! It's amazing what you achieved in just a single day, it's made with great quality. Not gonna lie, I got pretty immersed by the end of the calm area music and totally got jumpscared by Urgent Mission, lol. Great job!!!
It's incredibly impressive that you made this in such a short time, because these tracks are really high quality!
1st track : I love this type of solo piano piece, even if it's super short.
2nd track : I really like the electric keyboard (I don't know exactly what obv) you used here, it's so serene and calm, with a full and pretty lush sound. Lovely!
3rd track : A solid "danger" theme! Dramatic and tense, but also still with a good melody and a great feel. Nice!
This is a really well produced ost, with some good composition to "close the deal"!
Nice job!
MAIN MENU: Ooh. Piano work reminiscent of BOTW.
CALM AREA: Lovely, very expressive. Great e-piano.
URGENT MISSION: The energy comes in! Love the chord choices with a generous amount of mode mixture.
Great work! I definitely get BOTW/TOTK vibes from this overall.
Good orchestration, beautiful chord progressions on all the songs, I was afraid the mix on first song (Tittle Screen Menu) was just too quiet even for a solo piano piece but when the other tracks came up, you did an amazing job in the mix and arrangement, great work !
Very nice trio of tracks! Very well done for getting them done in such a short space of time.
Can definitely hear both the ocean and especially the east asian influence very strongly, reminded me of quite a few soundtracks from japanese games (or those very inspired by japanese games) from the early 00s up to now.
Would agree with what others have said about URGENT MISSION being considerably louder than the other two as I'm sure you're now aware. But I did also really like the approach you took with it, feels very dramatic and tense whilst also being very elegant and gliding.
Both the other tracks were very good too though.
URGENT MISSION was my favorite track but it was also way louder than the other two by a longshot!
Amazing work!! There is emotion with an amazing orchestration! "Urgent mission" is by far my favourite!!
One of the most professional sounding submissions i've heard so far! I love the sound of the first track (I'm a sucker for minimalism haha). It gives me Kingdom Hearts vibes
Darn... That was awesome! I can't believe you whipped this up in a day... Very beautiful ambient business. That third track was so good! And it scratches the prog rock itch quite a bit. Overall, awesome melodies, really nicely done!
So very tasteful, it's subtle and simple and at the same time well though-off and intricate, I'm enjoying every second of this. Very visual, the underwater theme is omnipresent throughout the soundtrack. And what beautiful piano lines you have written! Congratulations!
Edit: Urgent Mission is an absolute banger!
Hi Daniel!
The atmosphere that your music portraits is captivating. Loved the piano sounds you use. Is it okay if I ask you what it is?
Track number 3 is very contrasting with previous ones yet cohesive with them. Amazing!
Great job!
Really really good! It's a crime you only have 6 ratings.
Do yourself a favor and definitely go rate others for visibility, you should be more popular within the jam.
One thing I wish you had done though, but it's a minor nitpick, would be to try and get volume up on 1 & 2 a bit so there's not so much discrepancy with the 3 beautifully mixed & mastered track.
Great submission!
Your music is very nice. I really liked the first and third tracks. Congrats!
Really feld the ocean around me with your sound. Interesting choice of harmony.
Urgent Mission was defenetly my favorit. Great choirce of chords and voicings. And an unecpected and good rythm. You got the Prog right in there!
