Green Tail watched his whole society get wiped out by an unknoiwn enemy. Now, he wanders looking for a purpose, a way to prove himself and above all, looking for the cause of his peoples demise. He comes across our party, gaining in power and notoriety. Could they be the challenge he is looking for, could they be something to give him purpose? Only through this fight, shall he, and our players, find out.

Based on your title, it seems like your take on the theme was that Green Tail maybe was the protagonist and this is the theme of him maybe taking on many enemies at once. It certainly fits that interpretation well! The thundering stadium rock drum kit is quite well-produced and drives the whole thing forward. This is a creative mix of rock and orchestral styles that create an intensity suitable for an epic battle. The Mission Impossible influence shines through with the vocal parts and adds a subtle yet effective detail that makes it more specific to this character who maybe likes to be more sly or sneaky in battle style. Thank you for sharing!

Aww thank you! I really appreciate the length feedback :)


I was thinking more of them being an antagonist/folk hero at first, then eventually allying with your party.  Think Beatrix From Final Fantasy 9 or something like that (appologies if that reference means nothing). 

Thank you for noticing the production, thats been one of my focusses lately to help improve my sound. 

Mission impossible was not intentional but can 100% hear it now XD

Again, thank you :)

Nice orchestra you got going on! Brass, Strings, Vocals and a Drum, a nice combination overall. For (idk) film music, a 1-minute buildup feels great but I feel like boss fights typically dive straight into action - that's not something I criticize this song for though, just food-for-thought :)

Overall, the song has plenty of power, great melodies and chord progressions, and a nice build-up (though a bit too slow for me for a boss fight ;). Great entry, well done!

Thank you for the feedback :) I get what you are saying, it is a bit of a long build up.  I think in my head I was thinking that the first part is like a cinematic section where the characters are attacking Green Tail whilst he does nothing, other than dodging and deflecting until the break when he says "Now it's my turn" (I did record some vocal lines but didn't have the time to edit them so got rid of them). 

Again! Thank you

Ah, of course with the right imagination it can fit perfectly! Overall you did a great job, no worries :)

This is insane! Great job! I love how you went for the tragic anti-hero theme; That’s something I aimed for with my own entry, too. And personally, I like the intensity. It fits the story you gave to Green Tail and subverts the expectations that one might get from the jam’s art style.

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind feedback :)

I think the instrumentation is waaaaay too intense here, especially the choir. Makes it sound like a theme for an entire army rather than just one character.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I was going by the logic of that this person stands for a whole society, they are the whole army,  But I get what you are saying :)

Incredible work. The begining reminds me of the elite four from pokemon ruby for some reason.

Developer

I will take that as an amazing compliment! Thank you XD
