Great work! I love what you did with the bass; it made me feel like I'm underwater, haha. However, I can't quite imagine it for a video game, but maybe that's just my opinion. I still think it's awesome!
Viewing post in Despair By Design - OST Composing Jam #7 jam comments
Thanks for giving it a listen & taking the time to leave feedback! It's much appreciated & I'm glad you liked it :3
Tbh, quite a lot of the music I make for my visual novel projects is non-typical for the type of game, haha. I don't think I would personally use either of these in a VN specifically because they feel a bit too heavy for that type of game.
I view the vocal version as more an ending theme/credits track sorta thing for a cult-themed psychological horror game rather than an actual BGM that would feature during gameplay. It was partially inspired by some of my favourite narrative-driven games that lean more into the cinematic side of things.
I also kinda have a thing for creating instrumental versions of main themes for title screens that then later reveal a vocal version after completing the game, so that's the sort of thing I would do with this if I weren't using it as an ending theme. Like a kinda last unlockable surprise!
Though, typically, I would link it to other tracks in a full OST. Sadly, there wasn't time for me to do anything like that with this since I discovered the jam so late & was too busy drowning in neglected life admin (as a result of participating in 2 other jams back to back) to spend much time on it, haha.
