Hey DJ,
Thanks for getting back to me! Looking forward to diving into the game soon and experiencing the full context for everything. I always love when playing the game AFTER listening to the music first puts things into perspective or just changes it entirely.
Also, totally with you on Uematsu—his work has been a huge influence on me as well. (I’m sure that’s the case will all of us in the RPG faction of the industry.) I really like how you’re doing your own thing with that influence though. Foreboding Wind especially had that kind of eerie elegance I associate with his writing.
Thanks for sharing the video too—I'll definitely be checking that out!
That’s super impressive you did the cover art yourself. It just inspired me to do the same using RPG maker. (Though mine is WAAAAY more low budget looking than yours ha ha.) Major props to Sawyer Friend as well for the in-game graphics; everything looks great!
Appreciate you taking the time to share all this!
All the best,
Aaron
