Description
This is a soundtrack within the constraints of the Sega Genesis' sound chips. It scores a shoot-em-up in which the player is riding on the back of a dragon! Melody of the White Dragon is the game's title theme, the following five tracks are the five shmup stages, and The Sound of Victory is the fanfare when you complete the game! Specific track details are available on my Bandcamp page. The tracks were composed in Furnace, a chiptune tracker by tildearrow.
Here's the main description in case it doesn't appear on the submission page:
In the distant past, six great dragons watched over and protected the natural world: the Emerald, Azure, Crimson, Golden, Black, and White Dragons. Six humans, the people with the deepest and strongest connection to the dragons, were the only ones capable of riding the dragons, and harnessing their immense power. It was a perfect, delicate balance between gods and mortals.
Until one day, some dudes from the future appeared?!?! They had robots and lasers and stuff, and in a bid to use the dragons' power for their own gain, they began to take control of them! Now the rider of the White Dragon is the only one left who can stop them!
Dragon Rider Blitz is a shoot-em-up, with a twist: instead of piloting a vehicle, you're riding on the back of a dragon! Featuring tough-as-nails shmup gameplay, five dragon bosses who grant you their powers, and a kick-ass Sega Genesis OST,! The game may not be real, but the soundtrack is! I hope you enjoy!
Message from the artist
This is my second OST Composing Jam! I was inspired a lot by Gradius for this one. The dragons' colors and implied elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Darkness) are slightly inspired by godai, the Japanese elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void. Good luck to everyone!
Theme
Chronicles of the Azure Sky: The White Dragon's Melody
How does it fit the theme?
The game centers around dragons, you ride on the White Dragon throughout the game, there's a track called the Melody of the White Dragon, and I even referenced "Azure Skies" with the name of one of the dragons!
