Description
Genre - Electro, Techno

Runtime: 5:58,

DAW: Logic Pro X, Main bass parts are made with MS-20 emulation and serum. Everything else but house stabs are logic presets.

OST is for a Turn Based RPG with loopable music. Rampage is an easy battle theme (vs trash mob). Demon is a boss fight theme. When Will he Break? is the main menu music.

How does it fit the theme?
I typically associate pre-2010 French electronic music with the Cyberpunk genre. The musical aesthetic of it works for a dark future-esque style of game in my opinion.

Cool tracks, Rampage is my favorite, love that one high synth. That bassline in Demon is so good. Great work!

Submitted

Super cool bass lines throughout, but i especially love the one in Demon. Really cool stuff overall!

Submitted

When will he break - very interesting bass line, with minimalistic arrangements it sounds kinda disturbing, yet relaxing... nice work.

Submitted

Oof, this has to be on my list of favorites so far. It sounds awesome, I love it!!

Congrats on making such bangers!

Going in without reading anything :D

When Will He Break? - Very nice opening. Pretty relaxing tune this one. Title screen? Really like the gated choirs and those little slowing down LFOs sweeps.

Rampage - Cool. I like the tech house chords around 40 seconds quite a bit. It's a nice track.

Demon - Cool track. I like that rezzy / syncey synth that comes in around 40 seconds. Also quite like how the bass in this has an almost chainsaw vibe to it when you're gliding it. Very cool.

Cool soundtrack. My favourite is the title theme.

I liked the vibe of each track, but had a little bit of trouble enjoying Rampage due to the high-frequency noise from the bass due to some issues with my hearing. The composition is cool, though!

I would have loved to hear more development of each track – a “B” part to contrast with the “A” part of the loopback tracks would really extend their longevity for looped listening! :)

Love Rampage and Demon, you really nailed the cyberpunk tone. I really like the gnawing part in the back of Demon.

Submitted

really enjoyable tunes! I especially l9ved rampage just cause It reminded me of something straight out of Friday Night Funkin' lol. If I were to give some advice I'd say try experiment with playing more obviously different chord progressions in your B or C sections to break apart the songs and make them feel more fluid, other than that well done!

Submitted

Great main menu theme, would work perfectly, nice gated choirs in the background to lock the rhythm in!

Rampage is a banger, and Demon goes really hard! Can really hear the french electro influences!

Submitted

VERY good! "When will he break" had a real Vangelis vibe to it, and the sound design of that kick is on point. "Rampage" and "Demon" had huge Doom sound-track vibes for me. Big Trent Reznor moods.

Submitted

Now this is Cyberpunk! The 4/4 beat is well produced. Love the funk elements you add here and there. Cool that you changed it up for "When will he break?"

Submitted

Somehow I don't think "Make it Bounce" was made for this game jam, lol. Otherwise theres some good stuff here!

Lol not sure why but it’s the wrong link

Submitted

Super nice take on the theme! I like the sound design on your last track especially

Submitted

I think the first link (https://on.soundcloud.com/J5Tc) points to the wrong soundtrack.

Nice job on the other two I could hear. You clearly know your way around the synths to create a "cybery" feel. Great shredding with the bass in Demon!

Developer

Thanks, you’re right about the link. I’m pretty sure I double checked that yesterday, but I think it’s changed.

Submitted

Really nailed the futuristic vibe, great stuff! Your first link seems to go to an unrelated track instead of "When He Will Break?".

Submitted (1 edit)

Just so you know, the first link takes you to a different artist and song! The second 2 links work fine though.


Overall, great job! Fits the theme really well!
