Music from my project

[Roys]

Hi there

Before posting my project in the Project Zone I need to translate it, indeed I am french and all the game is in french. But anyway as music is a common language I wanted to start with that

Here you have all the tunes (more than 1 hour) made by me of DJ Fab, I hope you will appreciate them

Ok, I listened to most of it, and they all mostly have a nice, ominous feel to them. My only main problem is that they feel like they might be relying on the strength on the VST too much. That isnt to say they are bad at all, the composer obviously has a good knowledge of musical theoretics to make these pieces, but some of the melodies tend to be rather simplistic. This also isnt a big deal either, but when it starts to happen in frequent pieces, the mood doesnt quite stay as constant. Most of the instrumental rationing was handled well; almost every sound I heard fit corresponded well with the ones around it. It also sounds a little too much for an RPG Maker game, it sounds more suitable for a movie or a three-dimensional rpg. Good, nonetheless.

Kian was probably my favorite piece, I liked its melody and counter vocals. Good job with this, and I am interested to see your game project in the future!

Thanks for your analysis
I have to say that it is quite a challenge to compose for a game for the reason you explained actually. Indeed I didnt want the melody to be too "present" (or alive if you see what I mean) on the other hand you don't want to have a boring piece.
So I guess the tune could only be heard live ,playing the game I mean, just to see if there is a real match between the ambiance/atmospher and the music. So you see quite a challenge indeed ^^

Too much for a RMXP game, you may be right actually. Let's see that when I will post the projet as I have to say that we really went beyond rmxp possibilities as the game is a real one pix collision and movement arpg with a mouse-managed-spell-system and huge map of 160*120 without lag. But you are right at the end of the day it is only a 2d game so I might have pleased myself first while composing

Here comes an old trailer (from last october) http://www.youtube.com/v/xyOU0MHoLOo
I have to redo it for the next demo

See you and thanks again for your comments

Well the vid is gone, but I have to say that I really loved the music, and yes it sounds too epic for an RMXP game! But I'm sure it fits perfectly in the game, or else you wouldn't use such high-quality music.

Oh, and if I may ask what did you use to make the songs?
