When I scored the #videogame “Reclaim Earth” it was purposefully intended to create #gamemusic that felt desolate & reminiscent of #Turok #N64 and #Doom 64 in conjunction with the “FPS (First Person Shooter)” #gamejam.

Most of us 💙 to feel nostalgic especially when it comes to #videogames.
When I was hired to score, “Akema’s Home”, the #gamedev wanted that feeling of Super Mario 3 Advance.
Title screens set the tone for how the 🎮 will begin.

Since being a #videogamecomposer. I’ve always tried to write boss music differently from the traditional way it’s been heard before.
This is one of my approaches

When Ball faces the boss, I approached the #gamemusic based on the 🎥 movement in a slightly unconventional #gamedesign manner. I did not increase the tempo like most boss music does but gave hints of danger with the orchestration/texture and rhythmic mvt.

Do you actually like the cold? 🥶 I don’t mind it. I wonder if these followers you control in the #videogame, Deity Quest, do as they traverse in the Tundra. I had to score this area to emulate a sense of ❄️
