Thanks! The shop theme was my favorite to write

Thank you! Entering the Trench of Repression would definitely mark a turning point in the game, lots going on down there haha

Thank you! I definitely wanted to make this OST more unique and diverse, so I'm glad that you appreciate that aspect of it.

Thank you, glad you like it!

Thank you, pretty spot on with your descriptions! Also that's generally the vibe I was going for with 'Minor Crab': a little goofy and small sounding, but with a menacing/serious undertone.

Extremely cohesive work, fits the theme well. I especially like the recontextualisation of the main theme in "In loving Memory". Definitely keep going, this is quality stuff.

This was a very enjoyable piece to listen to. I agree with LikeFire1989, very innocent and charming sound. Some very interesting chord changes as well (especially around 1:35). Good stuff.

Appreciate it, glad you like the music!

Thanks! I would have liked to have fleshed "Minor Crab" out more, but I only had 45 minutes or so to write it haha. I viewed it more as a writing challenge for myself than anything.

Very tightly knit OST, I can absolutely see the game that this was made for. I enjoy how soft and dusty everything sounds. Good stuff.

This is a good piece. Very reminiscent of the OST's of Minecraft & Stardew Valley , but still it's own thing.

Haha, it's a cool name. Glad you enjoyed the music!

Haha, appreciate it brother! I wanted the story to be more fleshed out for this project, makes it feel more real to me. I'd definitely buy Bogart's famous "Jar of Sand" item if "Kyoko's World" was a real RPG.

Appreciate it man, glad you liked my work!

Thank you! I really tried to step it up with the theming/world-building this time around, so I appreciate that that element of the OST stuck out to you.

Very cohesive pieces, love all the chiptune sounds.  "Échoppe Cachée" is so catchy

Really interesting and creative premise. "Freed Memory" is heavenly

This is very well thought out, definitely immersed me in this imaginary game and it's history. Good stuff

I enjoy how strong each of the tracks are melodically, all very whimsical and goofy. "Icarus the Candle Cat Wants to Fly" is my favorite

I like how you blended more experimental/industrial sounds in with the more traditional melodic elements. Could definitely see the game you were writing for,  good stuff. "Discovery" was especially crispy.

Nice work, I think you captured the SNES sound well.

Solid work. I particularly enjoyed 'Sandyside Shore' and 'Ripple Memory Finished'

I enjoyed this piece. Like Jofes said it's fairly quiet, but that is more a mixing/mastering issue than a musical one. Overall very solid, especially once the guitar arpeggio comes in. Reminded me of the song 'Equation' from 'The Little Prince'

This is sick, kind of gives me Stelar Blade vibes. The piano tone and the chords that you used are gorgeous.

By far one of my favorite submissions that I've listened to. Very tight composition both musically and thematically, and your vocal layering is on point. The only thing that I felt was missing was maybe some strong stings (swelling tremolo perhaps) at the climax to help add a little power. However, I could see how that could take away from the more folk aesthetic (which is also a really creative angle; I could hear this being an in-game folk song). Great work!

Solid OST, gave me some N64 vibes.  I quite enjoyed 'Wyverns Abounding' and 'Dispute Among Drakes', they tied together nicely.

Thank you!

Appreciate it, glad you enjoyed it

I concur. I also enjoy the fact that it sounds like classic video game music that's not trying too hard to  acoustic/live

I can picture the game and the level that this track goes with,  well-made (irrespective of the time spent writing it)

This is a well written piece. 1:54-2:11 was beautiful, but then you hit us with that spicy transition. Very interesting chords and near non-stop stank facing. Good stuff.

Excellent work, your violin playing was immaculate. I could feel the love for the Souls series in the intro to "Dragon's Dance"; however, I'm a sucker for more pure orchestral compositions, so "Mourning" took the cake for me.

I enjoy how organic these pieces sound. "The Old World" in particular is great, especially when that bass synth comes in.

These are pretty solid, gave me SNES vibes. I quite enjoyed "Searching", although "First Flight" is my favorite despite the clipping issue (you could always upload a non-clipped version to SC)

Thanks! I love writing for brass, so I'm glad you liked those sections.

Thank you! Brass can be tough for sure, especially when mixing. French Horns especially have a lot of mud in their lower register.

What's funny is that I haven't watched 'Princess Mononoke' yet and consequently haven't heard the soundtrack haha. Just listened to 'The Legend of Ashitaka' though and can definitely hear the resemblance. I learned about quartal harmony from Hisaishi's work (particularly 'Spirited Away'), he loves that sound and so do I.

I appreciate how faithfully old-school these pieces sound, even down to your naming conventions. Very clear picture of the game this was made for. 'Platforming Stages 2' and 'Ending' are my favorites (especially 'Ending', I love how cheerful it is)

This is an excellent OST. I could clearly see/feel the game that this was made for. It very much reminds me of the genre of games that twospaces-sg mentioned, which is great because I adore them. My favorite tracks are "Shirotatsu's Lament" and "Sky City Alleyway" (I appreciate the avant-garde nature of this piece in particular). Good stuff.

Thank you,  cool that I was the last entry for you haha.

I definitely wanted to expand the OST, but my day job takes away a lot of my time. I decided to go with the 'beginning and endings' theme since that felt the most complete to me (briefly contemplated writing a character creation theme instead but I felt like that would have been a bit anticlimactic lol). Thanks for listening and rating!
