Warrior #200 Vampire

Happy Friday Party Members...and HAPPY SONG #200!!! WOO!

Hard to believe we've already made it here. Never would have imagined when I started this Patreon I would get this far but we are still going strong!

I knew I wanted to do something really cool for this entry, but I also wanted to stick to the spooky month theme. So I thought...

Healer #219 Tension

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Do you sense that...? There's something in the air. And why are our cell doors open?

I received a suggestion at the beginning of spooky month to do something like the track "Trail of Blood" from FF7. Here are the results!

I actually had a hard time getting started with this one. I was trying to pa...

Warrior #199 Night

Happy Friday Party Members!

Spooky vibes are continuing with this one. This is a very ominous/dark sounding riff I came upon the other day and really enjoyed. It gave me a sense of an uncomfortable drive at night, so that's the scene I rolled with.

I added this tune into the sci-fi collection as well as the horror one, because I feel...

Healer #218 Memory

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

The Silent Hill 2 remake just dropped, and while I haven't picked it up yet, I did have to make some SH inspired tracks for you guys this Spook-tober.

In case you didn't know, Silent Hill 2 is one of my fav games ever...def my favorite horror game. I could gush over the music's atmosphere for days. 2024-10-09 13:56:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Warrior #198 Safe

Happy Friday Party members!

I don't usually drop the "save room" theme this early into Spook-tober but this is the track that came to me this week.

This one was a pretty cool process. I came up with a cool little piano riff, then I sampled it and played it slower at 2 different speeds. That created the main atmosphere and the throug...

Healer #217 Tension

Happy Spook-Tober Party Members!

Alrighty here we go. Those who have been around a while know the deal, but for you newcomers I'll fill ya in.

Generally in October, I just release spooky/horror music all month. For some reason, I really enjoy writing tense-horror style music, and so I figure why not make a month out of it? Tis the se...

Warrior #197 Villa

Happy Friday Party Members!

Welp, I survived the storm. My area wasn't hit nearly as bad as I was expecting, thank God. Some minor flooding near me and a few power outages but nothing too bad. Thank you for all the kind comments!

We may officially be in the fall season now, but todays song has a summer-y vibe to it. Just a really chi...

Hurricane Helene inbound

Hey Party Members,

Just a quick late night post. Looks like I'm in the path of Hurricane Helene. Should be significantly weakened by the time it hits my area but still expecting some pretty strong winds through the night.

Praying everyone in its path stays safe and that damage is minimal! I'm hope I still have power in the morning,...

Healer #216 Pirates

Happy Wednesday Party Members! Hope you've had a great week so far.

I figured the healer tier was about due for some dungeon music again. Most the songs the past couple weeks have been pretty chill (or sfx) so I thought I'd turn up the "menacing" dial a bit.

This song immediately took on a piratey vibe to me, so something like the G...

Warrior #196 Factory

Happy Friday Party Members!

This is a very simple but cool tune that has a lot of "factory" or "warehouse" vibes for me. Part of me is reminded of the lighthouse in Breath of Fire 3, while another part of me is reminded of Factorial Town from Digimon World 1. What do you get when you combine the two??? An Asuka thumbnail, that's what!

Healer #215 Village

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

As much as I'd like to be a couple of weeks ahead with content, usually it comes down to the last minute for me to finish these tunes. I thought going into yesterday I had a good track foundation down for today's post, but after messing with that tune for a couple of hours I decided to abandon ship and start ...

Warrior #195 Fighting

Happy Friday Party Members!

Hope you've had a great week. I've been a bit scattered, life has been pretty hectic, but I think that played into today's song a bit.

If you've been around here for a while you probably remember me talking about the sound of the late 90s. DnB/Electronic music absolutely dominated the gaming scene. And a g...

Healer #214 SFX (UI)

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Alrighty, I'm trying something different today. Rather than a song, I thought it would be cool to do a little mini sfx bundle for you guys. I hope that's ok!

I made 16 UI sound effects, mainly confirms, cancels and cursors. I don't know why, but UI sound effects are some of my FAVORITES to make. They ar...

Warrior #194 Haunting

Happy Friday Party Members!

Ok sooo....I may have started the spooky month tunes a bit early this year lol.

I totally didn't intend to do that, but I was messing with sounds the other day and came up with this really cool guitar line that I just had to run with. Gives me Diablo II or Castlevania vibes.

I kept the overall track...

Healer #213 Bay

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

I've been a bit under the weather the past couple days, but I didn't want that to stop me from releasing some quality music for you guys. Hopefully I succeeded but that's up to you guys to be the judge. :D

I found a cool little drum loop that I built this track from. It's got a borderline reggae feel bu...

Warrior #193 Somber

Happy Friday Party Members!

Got a chill/reflective tune for ya today. You guys know I love writing these kind of tunes. Stuff reminiscent of 90s era Squaresoft. :D

The tune was written with an introspective scene in mind (hence the name). Something for when your characters are reflecting on the events thus far. It's hard to place in ...

Healer #212 Village

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Sometimes, you just gotta drench the instruments in reverb, and that's your vibe. While messing with some sounds on Monday morning, I cranked up the verb and turned down what's called the "dry" signal on the guitar patch I was using. Instantaneous cool retro vibe.

So I rolled with a simple progression ...

Warrior #192 Space

Happy Friday Party Members! Hope you had a great week.

I guess I'm just on a sci-fi kick recently. I really didn't know what I was going to put out today, but I was going back through some of my reserves yesterday afternoon and found this little gem, and it was basically done. I love when that happens.

It's a very moody and broody t...

Healer #211 Menu

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Hope you're having a great week so far. Today I've got something a bit different than my normal style.

This track, to me, really feels like something out of the early 2000s, Sega Dreamcast era of gaming. There was a moment in time where Sega was using a lot of dance/funk style tunes in their games. Mayb...

Warrior #191 Stealth

Happy Friday Party Members!

Hope you had a great week. If you saw my Wednesday post, I mentioned that I picked up a new tool that really jogged my creativity. Truth is, I wrote Wednesdays post and todays post within a couple hours of each other. It was a good day. :D

After last Friday's post, I mentioned I wanted to do some more MGS...

Healer #210 Moon

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

I tend to go through cycles with my writing. I'll get a new piece of gear, get super inspired by it, use it all the time for a few months, and then start to plateau a bit. Then the cycle repeats.

So the other day, I picked up a new reverb plugin that accurately emulates the reverbs from SNES, PS1 and N6...

Warrior #190 Battle

Happy Friday Party Members!

Ok sorry for the delay! This tune took a bit to get the mix right. That's the thing about writing tunes with heavy guitars, your ears can wear down pretty fast.

This song actually came about by taking a bunch of heavy riffs from various metal songs I used to listen to as a kid, applying them to a few 16/3...

Healer #209 Liminal

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

So as you know, sometimes I'll get a suggestion that I just latch on to immediately. Today's song is one of those tunes. The suggestion was for a liminal town theme, for a psychological horror game, and I just loved the idea.

Even though I'm dropping this in the horror collection, the vibe I was mainly ...

Warrior #189 Mountain

Happy Friday Party Members!

I'm continuing my trend of using old 32 bit soundfonts, with today's track utilizing a lot of sounds from Chrono Cross and Quest 64.

Quite the combo, I know.

I was picturing something like Mt. Pyre when writing it, but of course you can use it in other ways...for instance, a fiery graveyard, a fiery ...

Healer #208 Harbor

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Today's tune is a bit of a hybrid. It's got some PS1/N64 elements to it, but its also slightly 16-bit. It sounds like it could be a desert town theme, but it could also be a track for a harbor. For me, that makes the track interesting, because it can be applied in so many different ways.

Recently I've...

Warrior #188 Mission

Happy Friday Party Members!

Today's tune is inspired by one of my favorite OSTs of all time, Final Fantasy 8.

When I first played the game (back in the 90s...wow....) one of the coolest segments was the train mission. Not only was it a great story beat (really the whole first disc is just excellent) but the track accompanying it wa...

Healer #207 Peaceful

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Got a drifty piano piece for ya today. Came across the opening riff and was able to build off it pretty easily. Sometimes less is more, ya know?

A friend of mine taught me a new word yesterday, "Equanimity," which is "The quality of being calm and even-tempered; composure." I thought that title worked w...

Warrior #187 Otherworld

Happy Friday Party Members!

I went back to my origins with this tune. By that I mean, I've recently been using a lot of higher end plugins and instruments to give a higher polish sound right off the bat. But yesterday while writings, nothing was working for me.

So I opted to pull up one of my old reliable vst instruments. One that g...
