Thanks so much Aaron! Really means a lot to me that people are still finding this soundtrack four years later. I'd love to see you play the game as well! It was the game that made me realize a passion for storytelling I never kindled beforehand.
I have to give a special shoutout to Signals Music Studio for getting me educated on those diminished chords in Bound By Fate. The framework of that song was the way Signals describes diminished chords as "portals", easily allowing me to pivot between key signatures. I combined that with some Nobuo Uematsu influence and cooked up a retro battle theme with a unique identity.
The cover was made by myself using a custom map made in RPG Maker and either Photoshop or GIMP for all the text. The actual ingame graphics were made by my good friend and Haroldverse coach Sawyer Friend.
