All music composed by Dryden Thomas except Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens. That's by Camille Saint-Saens.

Aw shucks, thank you so much! I definitely want to release an OST for this game, but maybe in the meantime I can just upload tracks to KZfaq as I make them? (Maybe I’ll save that for after the 100 days though-I’d like more polish for something so “permanent”)

@carloss1536 Ай бұрын

Awesome relationship with your mom :) I would like to suggest to lower the sound level of the sound effects, they are too loud compared to the music from the background. Or at least have the levels ina menu so that the players can fiddle with it.

@LighthoofDryden Ай бұрын

Most definitely! I’m gonna be moving the project over to Wwise, so most sound design tasks are on hold until that’s done, but it’ll be relatively easy after that point to give mixing control to players (as well as do… any level of mixing on my end)

Also if possible the music should kick in when the boss is activated. It is playing for like 5seconds in the somber slow part before it picks up. Feels like the music should pick up right when the fight starts. Idk how to fix that but yeah.

@appol2584 Ай бұрын

probably just extend the animation for the entry of the boss fight

@appol2584 Ай бұрын

or also extend the dialogue

@LighthoofDryden Ай бұрын

Totally easy to do! I’m imagining there will be some kind of “pre-fight” animation eventually that will occupy that time, which is why that little lead-in is there!

@kittenlord3572 Ай бұрын

So I've listened to the final theme for like, 10 times now, and here's some of my subjective feedback: - At first I wasn't sure about this - I thought the mix sounded too spacious for my liking, but I figured that this actually kinda makes sense for a catacomb location, and it grew on me. Though you might want to consider when making later themes - A general tip - keep in mind that the player can beat the boss at any moment, including the moments where the theme is still playing, or after it has ended. You don't really want to abruptly pause the theme when the boss dies, nor to simply loop it as it is with a vert noticeable seam, so you need to write music with that in mind - it needs to have multiple moments where you can jump to the "final chord" if the bossfight is over, and it needs to be able to loop seamlessly while the fight is going - My main concern is that I don't think the theme *really* suits the boss here - Guillaume is a big bulky dude with a shovel, but his theme is an elegant, almost playful piece with high-pitched violin as its main focus. I incredibly enjoy the piece itself, but idk about it being Guillaume's theme specifically. I'd personally really change the vibe here, including picking lower-pitched instruments as leads (though the idea to make it dance-like still fits imo) Besides that - wow, watching you play violin is the most inspiring thing ever, and don't get me started on the duet in the end - you and your mom are amazing! I would really like to see more of this stuff, it's so good!

@Cataphract_ Ай бұрын

Agreed it sounds a little whimsical

@silvercakes Ай бұрын

I said something in my own comment but regarding point 3, that really depends on what role the music is taking in the storytelling. Not every piece of music is a character leitmotif -- this could represent the MC's internal monologue, for instance, rather than Guillaume's. The realization that this is the point of no return, and he can't give up on his quest once he passes this point. This will make sense to the player intuitively if the backing tracks are consistently used this way in other parts of the game.

@kittenlord3572 Ай бұрын

@@silvercakes Ohh, that's a great argument, I didn't really consider this to be honest... Though I imagine this comes with an important decision, whether to focus the narrative on the MC and their introspection or on the game world and its story. The former actually sounds quite interesting now that I think about it, but I'm also really interested in Guillaume's story :D Gonna hope that the game explores both of these in some way, haha

@LighthoofDryden Ай бұрын

Ay thanks! I should be able to use Wwise’s adaptive music workflow to quickly transition to the last measure without too much trouble. I’m never that far outside the key area, so jumping to a big “V-i” shouldn’t be too jarring regardless of where we are! And yeah, for a pure “Guillaume theme” I will likely take some material from this and have it be slower and low-but as he is surprisingly nimble and leapy (and also not so dark and sinister as some bosses) I wanted to bring a bit more levity to his fight music. I’m bursting to share more of his story, too, but I think that’ll be best reserved for the game itself!!

I really want to see an optional boss encounter in this game. For example you come into a room and there is this giant, chained monster. You can set him free and battle for a cool ability, but he is very hard, or skip him and not risk it. The ability could be whenever your light completely goes out, all of the mobs on the screen get chained(stunned). Love the work ❤

It would be really cool if you could fight the old red eye in a secret boss fight during the boss fight he could use relics to boost his power while slaming his cane on you. After, he drops his red eye with is a relic which gives you red nightvision and next time you see him you get discounts and he has a bandage over his eye this would help dark speed runs because they can see more and get discounts. Another idea is a light relic, which is super rare, and it allows you to heal when it's max light but not by a lot. If you do this, you can decide how you get it, but it would also help heal your cat. This is because I think it would be cool if you could find your cat in the catacombs, but he's mutated and will attack enemies when stunned, but it wouldn't be allowed in boss fights also he would sometimes wander off and come back to you later. I hope this helps you and you use them, but if you don't, that's fine. Good luck with the game. I can't wait to play it.

You and your mom are both incredible musicians, and loving the progress! Can't wait until you have all the SFX done for the boss battle to make a complete soundscape. I know some people said that the music doesn't fit the boss, but that's very subjective and depends on what role your music is taking in the story -- is the track representing the boss's fate? The MC's state of mind as he fights? The threshold between living and dead? Etc. With such musical talent you have the opportunity to make the song its own character and fill in story gaps without using any dialog or cutscenes, the way a lot of old games did. Keep it up!

Thank you so much!! I always think it’s interesting how many options there are for *which* emotions to bring out in the music.

THIS THEME GOES SO HARD HOLY FUCK!! Your game reminds me of hollow knight in all the best ways (love the artstyle, dynamic bosses, music!!) I can’t wait till it’s out!

Came from the Blackthorn video and the game looked amazing. Now realise you are also a super talented musician! Amazing!

Absolutely brilliant as always. You are clearly one of the most multi-skilled, highly talented game developers on the Tube! Even if I had your skills (artistic, musical, game dev) I feel I'd have to work 8, 30 hour days a week to come anywhere near to your output. I liked this a lot this week as it really focussed in on a single aspect with if I may say so, outstanding results. Well done!

You are making some of the most entertaining devlogs I have seen in a while. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait for the game to get released! Making parrying and reflecting projectiles/attacks your primary way to deal damage is a really cool idea which I don’t think I’ve seen before in a rouge like. Though it made me think. Are you going to add relics which increase the damage your regular attack deals? It could make for some builds where you actually just fight bosses by repeatedly hitting them instead of reflecting their attacks which I think could be funny to see in this game

Thank you so much, that means a lot!! And yesss haha, there’s a bead called the onyx bead. In the early days there was a “forbidden build” where you could make your bash hitbox enormous, your cooldown almost nothing, and be dealing like 50 damage per swing 😆 things are more reasonable now, but Bonk still lives on!
