Wow this is way more sophisticated that what I have heard so far especially the second track. Also nice use of leaitmotiv, using the same theme with small variation but in different context is not easy, big respect to you. As for the criticism: in "Under attack" at 1:04 even if it is a good thing to have a calm section, I think the percussion part is a bit too simple and it lacks one or two contribution from other instruments. Also, I don't know if this is what you are looking for in term on easthetic but the samples sounds outdated, I've heard more convincing strings coming from musescore 4. Anyway awesome creations.

Description
- Orchestral Score
- A 3D adventure but also story game where you explore the world riding around on dragons protecting the White Dragon who is the guardian of the Azure Skies
- "Riding trough the Azure Skies" is the theme that plays during just regular exlporation, I used a lot of harmonies that pull away from the i, like i IV and i bVI bVII, for this beautiful grandiose effect, which is also what spawned the main motif
-"Under attack" is a theme that would play during combat, I put all possible drama into it for tension and fear (since battling in the air on a dragon is probably really scary owo), just used some Vaug and dissonant bII type chords; also added the motifs I wrote in the other song into it
- "The White Dragon" is the theme that would play during the encounter with the White Dragon, I basically wrote it similar to the first piece but softer, also with a soft bittersweet "fakeout" resolution to ivm7 since in my story the white dragon is not a very happy creature who is doing well
also I used musescore
