Terranigma - 57. ending theme
Terranigma - 57. ending theme YouTube video by ilovejeko

Terranigma is such an underrated game, but it's soundtrack is equally underrated. Definately one of the best on the SNES and it deserves to get more credit. Sadly, since it never got a NA release, it is often overlooked in today's conversations. #vgm #gamemusic www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiKg...

I am really happy how the harmony turned out in this and gives it a very jazzy, modern, yet nostalgic feel - while still having an underlying sadness, foreshadowing the tragedy of IDO's story. Yet, the instrumentation ties it to the setting of old Japan. I think it is a good tune for a game's start.

But the Phrygian and the IN scale apparently both share the flat2, so they have more in common than one might think. IDO taught me a lot about traditional japanese pentatonic scales and while the main theme definately sounds phrygian, there is still a hint of the pentatonic scale in there I think.

to create this tragic sound, I took some of the melodic material and simply transposed it to the parallel Phrygian. I was surprised that this simple trick worked, was the orignal melodic material written in japanese pentatonic scales.

IDO - The Cursed Well (OST) - Track 01 - Main Theme YouTube video by Takoyaki

The Main Theme of IDO - The Cursed Well. Even though IDO is a horror game, it tells the story of Suiko and how dealing with fear and stress makes her do horrible things to her older sister.. At It's core, Ido is a tragedy and sounds like tragedy. #vgm #ost #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFF6...

Chamber Confined is a short horror puzzle game by @jamieclark.bsky.social and this is the main theme I wrote for the game. In the game, you have 1 minute to solve a sequence of puzzles that increase in difficulty. #gamedev #gameost #vgm youtu.be/BDUjep79yho?...

so I have a lot of respect for small streamers that try to keep their passion and do what they enjoy and still try to have some goals and ambitions. So don't get burned out on that, you are doing well with keeping up what you enjoy and not giving up!

03.10.2025 11:51 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

totally. I saw so many small streamers from my speedrunning days that literally quit. And I totally get why. Because it is literally just grind the same thing until burn out or just do what everyone does and hope you get lucky. Twitch has, after all these years, no solution to that problem.

03.10.2025 11:50 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Twitch experience in a nutshell. They gaslighted us into thinking that they help us pursue our passion and dreams, while putting streamers in a fierce competition. And all they do as "support" is throwing ads into your content and make it worse to watch. So I doubt the problem is on your end.

BBeyond the Boundries is a puzzle plattformer where you have to find different ways to glitch out of bounds to solve the level. I tried to make music that is calm but mysterious, creating just the right atmosphere for a puzzle plattformer.

Stardew Valley (Original Game Soundtrack)

sometimes, you are in the lucky situation as a composer that you can listen to your favourite OSTs and can frame this as "preparation" or "research" for something you are working on. Could be worse. open.spotify.com/intl-de/albu...

3D World also has an amazing OST and is really underappreciated.

for me, just having good team mates makes a whole lot of difference. I think it is easy to scale down the scope when you have faith and trust in everyone's abilities and know you can make something good, even if it less. And that makes it less stressfull and more enjoyable.

The main theme from the "Madeleine and Biscuit" OST. Since the game was about the friendship between a young girl and her dog, I wanted to make something that was whimsical and childish, but was also foreshadowing their inevitable farewell. youtu.be/0nuSh-0Tf8g?...
