Wowow I had to read the title of this devlog a couple of times to let it fully sink in!! 1400 (as the download counter currently stands) is beyond the number of people I can physically imagine in most given spaces, so to think that that many people have downloaded, taken the time to play, and have left meaningful comments on a game I’ve participated in is super exciting!
Seeing the game in its current state, being able to see how deeply people enjoy interacting with the story, characters and the world they occupy is both deeply fulfilling as a musician and as a game / story lover! Seeing the level of polish, care and attention given to this game in the small details of the UI, the backgrounds and animations as well as the subtlety and intention behind each piece of artwork has been such a treat. I’m so excited to continue to try and enhance these elements and am looking forward to seeing the game blossom even further!
Huge huge thank you to @Lemonink for letting me participate in this project! You have put so much time, effort and care into every part of this process and it is so satisfying to see that pay off with the response to your game and its story. As much as doubt may manifest (which is another form of your love, passion and care for the game and the playerbase) and even in the unlikely event that the demons of the internal world will manifest 1:1 into real, dorito-fueled internet hate, you have this factual, science-backed number to look back on. 1400 people saw your game, took interest in the world, story and characters, and felt the desire to take tangible action to be a part of it. That is real, beyond any doubt as it may appear. (Source: lifelong /chronic self-doubter lol). You have created something truly special and I am proud to be a part of it!
TLDR: Yay! WOW 1400+ is more people than Jon can comprehend in a physical space, you have put tremendous amounts of time /effort / care into this project and you should be proud! Thank you for letting me be a part of it!
Wow, what a response! First of all, thank you for listening and for taking the time to write this!
You hit the nail on the head with the theme, and I’m glad I was able to musically translate that! You also picked up on small details and symbols that I hadn’t even thought of which is awesome, like the alarm sound in cyclical severance! And yup, revival and rejuvination uses subtle themes repurposed from previous tracks, but the most themes lie in the overall instrumentation as it relates to the story.
Once more, thank you for listening, I truly appreciate your kind words!
These are really cool! For these types of jams there can be a focus on just making a song instead of something to fit into a game (I think I did it better this time around but I've def been guilty of this in the past lol) and I think the colors you have add so much to the overall world you built. Unabashedly creative and well done!
This is fantastic! the sheer variety of instruments that might otherwise be relegated to a specific genre (the western whistle with acoustic guitar) fit super well! this combined with the mandolin, synths and electric guitar made for a super cinematic song. Not only that, but these creative choices are backed by a KILLER mix and master as well as gorgeous harmonies. Steller submission and amazing work!
