I really enjoyed it, cool sounds and vibe.
the rhytmic pattern of the piano at the begining of the first song give me some kof 2002 Omegar Rugal vibes(but slower) and thus some Vietnam flashbacks xD

Description
I decided to create the soundtrack for a little JRPG, probably a narrative JRPG, where the story is even more important than the game mechanics or the length of the game itself.
I also decided to make it sound retro, as the graphic from the image suggests. Not the usual 8-bit or 16-bit chiptune though, but instead something that would come straight from the late nineties, something that sounds like Everquest, or a role-playing game where the soundtrack is pure General MIDI and not CD-quality audio (so imagine the sounds coming from a Creative Sound Blaster audio card installed on your amazing Pentium computer :) ).
In my case, all of the sounds are coming from the Roland Sound Canvas VST (see screenshot).
Additionally, I wanted the game (and so the OST) to be lighthearted and playful. It can be emotional and sometimes a bit dark, but overall it should be a colorful and cute game.
TRACKS:
--------------------------
1. JOURNEYS AHEAD
The classic title track. Optimistic and adventurous.
2. LEAVING THE MEADOW
Where the protagonist leaves his hometown for the first time in his life. Nostalgic, sweet, optimistic, and fearful at the same time.
3. ACROSS THE DARK MOUNTAINS
This is where things get difficult and where a hero is made.
4. BATTLING TO SAVE A FRIEND
The final battle, where we put all that we have got, all of our levels and inventory, in order to save what matters to us.
5. THERE AND BACK AGAIN
We go back home after we won. Home is not the same. We are not the same, but it's good to be back.
Message from the artist:
Here's a little OST for an imaginary journey... and game!
Inspired by the theme of the jam: A Journey To Remember and the provided image.
Hope you will like it! :)
Theme
a journey to remember.
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
The whole game/OST is a classic journey of the hero, a coming of age, from being a kid in his little hometown, to become a man and do something bigger than himself.
Something that will be remembered, and not just by him.
