I'm interested(: my discord is shadowgaiden it says I can't add yours

Thank you so much! I appreciate your insight and that you enjoyed my compositions so much. You are very kind and I am flattered that someone just as skilled as myself would say such wonderful things :) If you would like more, I'm also on spotify, youtube, wherever you get your music. Appreciate you again! :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much! I am glad you were drawn by the theme and you enjoyed my compositions! And thank you very much for the kind words and analysis :)

Thank you! Its awesome to see the process already take off just from the description and music. That is pretty close to my intent, but I also wanted to leave room for things like this :) I love to see how people interpret someone's work when they have room to fill in the blanks themselves. My idea as the creator is very similar to what you have in mind; they have to leave before they transform into something that will bring harm to others. Again, thank you for letting your imagination run wild. I love the inspiration we can foster in each other within the community; its wonderful :)

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed my submission, and appreciate your high praise :)

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I am super happy you enjoyed my composition, and I love where you connected the themes to the music. Its awesome to see analysis like this :)

Thank you so much! :)

Thank you so much! Yeah, I wanted to make sure its not too overbearing to wear the player out, but enough you could handle hearing it for a while while

I just wanted to thank everyone for the feedback, and I appreciate all the kind words. It was a lot of fun to do this, and it was an honor to compete against you all

Hello! My question is if I might be able to lend my services to multiple entries. Being a composer primarily, I do not have strong enough coding skills to confidently provide a working product. So I want to lend my services to a team (Or multiple if that is allowed). Met-vanias have to be one of my favorite genres of game, and I would love to help anyone who has the opposite problem I do, or anyone who enjoys my music (links below). If interested, leave a comment and we can get in touch!

That sounds awesome! I liked it so much, I added/mixed home sour home at the end to lengthen the song and give me a tempo change. But I would love to have an extended City streets track! Discord user is shadowgaiden for further discussion :

I enjoy the orchestral hiphop fusion. Its super fun and bouncy and would lend itself very well to the game. Gives me crash bandicoot vibes as well. A wonderful submission :)

Great submission!  I enjoyed the bassline you made and the atmospheric piano. The Ocean Floor is a little sparce, but that can lend itself to design opportunities in game. I enjoyed both tracks, thank you for sharing :)

Wonderfully done. I love the ethereal feeling with each track, bringing the feelings of memories that are just within reach. Very nicely done to connect with the overarching theme :)

The orchestration is wonderful! There is so much wonder and whimsy throughout, yet enough serious tones to allow for grounded fantasy. It harkens me to Ni No Kuni and similar epic Ghibli orchestrations, leaving room for child-like wonder and a serious tone as well. Wonderfully done :)

That's okay, Im glad it still translated with a spacey theme. This is my first knowing attempt of using a motif in musical structure, so I am glad that too came across through the songs. Thank you very much for listening :)

I enjoyed the music. It gives me early PS1/late SNES RPG vibes with a little Mega-Man. The description and placement of the songs is a wonderful addition to accompany the music. Wonderful submission :)

I enjoyed this submission. When you said run-and-gun, I started to think Hotline Miami OST (a big inspiration for myself, so it might just be that). I like the various EDM influences, although I feel like some of the tracks take a little bit to warm up. Overall, great work :)

Overall, I enjoy what you have created. I too agree with Jofes, there needs to be a little more. Subtle percussions might add some depth, or something to add or fill the spaces around the instruments you have. I think the last grouping of the song was the strongest with the strings, organ and other instruments

A wonderful collection of music. I enjoyed the flutes and stringed instruments, the soft percussions and SNES style all bring me back to nights hiding under a blanket trying to beat Donkey Kong Country. Superb :)

Grant Kirkhope instantly came to mind. I loved the Rare-ware goofy sounds included throughout. I can see this for the game you described, but I can also see this accompanying a 3D platformer collectathon like Banjo-Kazooie. Wonderful job on creativity, and I enjoyed the groovin' basslines!

Thank you very much! :)

Thank you very much! I appreciate your level of input. I also felt that some tracks fall short without the vision in my mind of what it would accompany. I appreciate that you enjoyed the atmosphere I was able to create, and truly thank you for your feedback :)

First off, thank you for rating my submission. I appreciate your candor and input. Now for me to return the favor!

I absolutely LOVE the boom-bap East coast style of the real world tracks. Instantly, I thought of New York streets and the greats like Biggie and Wu Tang. Already, this has struck nostalgia for me. The jazzy subtleties, and hearty drums and bass make me want to pick up a pen and start writing bars.

Ghosts of the Railroad takes me right to the mining days of the old west. The harsh drones of the digging and mining serve as the base rhythm for the souls of those who gave their lives to dig the tunnels. Their songs showing how they help occupy the time while trapped to mine the tunnels for eternity. Not per say unhappy, but not thriving.

Desperation at the Space Station gives me "The Last Stand" vibes. It has a level of gravitas, but ultimately shows the steel nerves of the character it plays for. I can see this for facing space raiders or bandits, as well as saving a planet or ships from some form of natural/unknown calamity while staying cool under the pressure. I also like the western-spacey-noodley guitar tones.

Pirate Queens booty has awesome sea-faring vibes that automatically draw me to warm sunny beaches and vibrant open seas. Rum and sea shanties are sure to follow, as I also sense a little Pirates of the Caribbean influence (not in a bad way of course). I can see myself following the Pirate Queen to Davey Jones' Locker accompanied with music like this.

Alongside a VHS-style inspiration, I believe it all ties together nicely in concept and is an awesome idea that I would most certainly want to play as a full game

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much!

I know you want all samples from ChipTone, but can I add any vocals to my entries or no?

Hello all! I am an independent musician that has a deep passion for video games. I am looking for projects that I can lend my services to so we can work towards the game you want. I do chiptune, minimalistic, atmospheric, and I want to spread my talents as much as I can to work with you on a custom sound that fits your games atmosphere, esthetic, mood, etc. Let's make the best music we can to bring your games to life!
