Description
Composed for a game set on a distant planet that the main character crashes on. Only two other humans are with you on the planet. One of which is an aged vigilante who was paid to hunt monsters on the planet. Another is an orphaned girl who you must rescue from a monster attack, however she seems like she might be hiding more than she lets on. The player must fix up their ship by collecting scrap of other crashed ships. At first the planet seems peaceful, but over time we find out that the planet harbors dreadful horrors the more time you spend there...

Composed in Reaper

Genre is probably Ambient + Rock, but tracks are quite loosely connected in terms of how similar they sound. In general each of the tracks represents a different character in the game and I wanted for each track to have a very unique sound/use a unique instrument.

Message from the artist
First composing jam submission :)

Theme

Inside my world
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The connection between space and "Inside my world" is a little bit weak, but the game I composed this for is meant to evoke feelings of isolation and disconnect from the world so hopefully that counts

Interesting concept with the end of crash landing. Very cool guitar work and vibes in Space Vigilante. Overall, your musical ideas and compositions are great! Just work on your mixing and you'll have an even better submission next time! :)

Submitted

I agree with some other comments that the mix needs work, but your ideas connect really well with your theme! Space Vigilante was a really fun song! Great work!

Submitted

Started off very nicely first track is a great ambient vibe, easy listen, quality is good, maybe except the ending not sure I understood what was happening with the bitcrush/distorted sound. Space Vigilante need some work in the mix and also rythmically it seems a little off.  Floating around is just a nice calm piece same thing as first track. easy listen. Good job !

Submitted

Space Vigilante was sick!   very cowboy ^_^

Submitted

The second track was a cool change of pace and the third track is very Minecraft coded.

Good job!

Lone Galaxy - Time for space ambient! (I love this pulse of sound)

Space Vigilante - So... I was intrigued by this track from the first seconds... this... Country music? Surf rock?
Floating Around - "We are flying... In space... There is no one but the stars, a billion light-years of pure emptiness and silence..."

Good job! I liked it! If you work more on the mix, it will be wonderful!

Submitted

Great submission! I agree with IndieKev that the mix needs some work, but you totally got the vibe, and that is the most important part <3

Submitted

The mix might need a bit of polish, but the overall OST is extremely good and I felt that you captured everything about the theme perfectly!!

Thank you for the firefly-esque track too ❤️

Submitted

I absolutely love the sounds you went with here. And the ambiance you achieved really implies the vastness of space. Beautiful and sad melodies on the first and 3rd track. My favorite is definitely space vigilante. I love the almost retro sound of the “riff” on that song and just listening to this OST really puts you in the universe you’ve described. This one is actually one of my favorites great job!

Submitted

This is pretty cool! Definetely a gender that i want to compose in the future.

Submitted

Really great work! All the tracks were really good and Crash Landing stood out as my favorite. I really liked the subtle tonal shift towards the end of the piece.

Submitted

Nice atmosphere and instrumentation) Great ambience!

Thank you!

I love the variety between the pieces and I haven't really heard a rock-style piece yet for this jam so that was refreshing to hear! My favourite track is the first ambient one, it has a very tasteful pace.

Developer

Thanks :D

Submitted

Very well done! I'm pretty sure it's a stylistic choice, but my only gripe is Space Vigilante is a tad quiet! I wanna hear that Cowboy Bebop blues louder, son!

But for real, ambient usually isn't my cup of tea, but you nailed these!

Developer(+1)

Haha thanks for the feedback! Somehow only right after I submitted all of the tracks that I noticed Space Vigilante was really quiet ;)

Submitted

Very nice instrumentation. The songs feel like a mix of the music from Risk of Rain and FTL, you really nailed the space vibes. Each character having their own instrument is neat, I'd say Crash Landing is my favorite.

Developer

Thank you! I absolutely adore risk of rain and its soundtrack so that makes sense lol

Submitted

I like how each track has its own style/genre. Nice ambience.

Developer

Thanks :D
