Description
Genre: Mix of techno and lullaby, a hodgepodge.

DAW: lmms

How I Made It: Just kinda found a key/chord set I liked and rolled with it. A bit of a melody in 'Drifting With The Stars' is from an old placeholder song in a demo I released.

Long sotry desciption: On the planet of Drifter, which is like the last planet or something, people are content. Now, unlike our real world science, stars and suns are different. The planet is mostly hollow and in its center is a very strange sun that is thought to be (and probably is) the last one. The people see from the light of stars, which are basically magical glowing rocks of a 5-pointed shape that are suspended in space.

One day that sun dies with a small supernova/explosion, destroying the planet and its people hanging on to the bits of rubble that are their home. The sun turns into a black hole.

Then, the stars in the sky start drifting towards the remains of planet Drifter, and some fall in. Soon the number of stars in the sky has dropped significantly. If they all disappear the people left will be trapped alone forever in a dark void without light.

As the hero of our story you must find a way to stop this from happening utilizing a device that concentrates the power of star rock to do something impossible: portals! (this is basically a 2D portal in terms of gameplay)

Your journeys take you through places like the ruins of ancient civilizations to a research facility that's built inside a large star! This is where the second track, "Star Death Imminent" plays, when the star is falling into the black hole and you have to escape within a minute Super Metroid style! Thats why the song is a minute long (though all of the songs are a minute long actually...).

That's about all I've thought of. "Drifting With The Stars" is the song that will play through the first few puzzles/tutorial of the game. "Starfall" is like the main theme or some menu/credits song (the game probably won't have very long credits if I make it on my own).

Message from the artist:
A little set of songs themed around space and stars. Hope you enjoy!

Theme:

How does it fit the theme?
Its whimsical and spacey, a bit of mystery about what the sky is like and a slight feeling of loneliness and emptiness.
The story is designed to fit the text theme, and the picture could fit as an opening cutscene.
