I really really dislike you.

pacdiggity · February 03, 2012, 06:33:13 AM

You idiot, all battles take place in Japan.

My insult covering the fact that I think this is unfairly awesome.

Moss. · February 03, 2012, 03:29:45 PM

:p

I think ill make my next blog post on how I came up with the ideas for this track. I really had to approach it with a different compositional mindset, it might be interesting for some people.

They're layered, just like in real video games!

(Also updated 1st post with all tracks released so far.)

Roph needs to add a Soundcloud widget to RMRK.

Malson · February 17, 2012, 05:36:28 PM

I like all of these, and how consistent they are with one another.

I like the layed music and i loved the main menu mockup truly epic
The imtense battle mockup was a pain to my ears at first but i like the pickup half way.
Keep working at it.

bro, u're good.

LoganF · March 08, 2012, 08:51:43 PM

Y'know, I've only just started nosing into this section of the forum... those are some amazing tunes you've made. I have no idea what to really say. I was playing those Mass Effect inspired themes to my friend who is a huge fan of the games and he says he could picture playing to those.

Moss. · March 09, 2012, 03:46:59 AM

Thanks for the kind word, friends, it means a lot to me.

Also, BIG fucking thank you if you shared my music with other people, that's absolutely amazing!

Jules · March 10, 2012, 02:38:30 AM

Very retro. I like

Malson · March 10, 2012, 04:47:28 AM

I was hearing the Turks Theme from FF7 the whole time!

Moss. · March 17, 2012, 04:12:03 AM

New track! Main theme music for a project I'm working on!

Irock · March 17, 2012, 05:37:00 AM

I like it! It reminds me of the Dragon Roost Island theme from Wind Waker with the clackity clack things and the quickly strummed guitar thing and the flute.

Moss. · March 30, 2012, 07:06:06 PM

Update!
[yt]sj5He0QhKhM[/yt]

I took a gameplay video from Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, and rescored it! And added SFX!

Okay, so, the first three seconds are just filler, the good stuff happens when the camera pans away and the big guy is introduced, and after that it's just more filler music for another 2 seconds.

This is actually how someone would score music for a game like this. The main level music would fade out as soon as that cutscene (0:03) starts, and the cutscene's music would fade in, and then seemlessly transtiion to the "boss music" (the last few seconds of music at the end).

So, in actuality, it's three pieces of music that crossfade with one another.
1. Main level music.
2. Cutscene music.
3. Boss battle music.

I only had a short video to work with, though, so I really only concentrated on part 2, since parts 1 and 3 were so short in the video.

Anyway, enjoy!
