Thanks a lot! Your reply really made my day. I'm actually just a programmer with no background in music, but I always passionate about cinematic music and have been observing how they did it for years. You see how those music in games, movies, animes, or whatever always enchant the mood in those medias? That's what I'm trying to do in this game. Maybe I actually have ADHD cause I've been thinking about music throughout my daily life a lot lol.

So when I make music for the game, it's either 1. I already have the general idea of music I want to make in my mind, even before the dialogue or story is written, or 2. The dialogue is already written, but the emotion of that scene need a change of mood, so I just daydream a bit and it kinda comes out naturally. I also have to experiment a bit when making the song in FL studio, like the combat music in this game was supposed to be simpler, but then I tried some sound that I thought would sound cool and it turned out even better!

For the color scheme, I figured that using only blue shade would give the game that "night feeling" and it also make sprite creation much easier, cause I don't have to worry about any other color (thanks Reddit for the advice about limited color palette). It also save me some development time.

I'm not sure how to give advice about music, but if you've never learn about it before, I recommend start learning how to play piano, cause music theory make the most sense on piano (FL Studio even use piano when you "draw" the note in a song.)

I've never been very artistically capable and my older brother is actually very talented so I always admired and enjoyed different elements in media that I liked but convinced myself over the years that it's out of my reach (and I developed somewhat of an inferiority complex (ᵕ—ᴗ—) ) so I'm trying to combat it and learn to do all these stuff from music to art and cinematics but you definitely got potential with these things. From the palette to the silhouette styled framing and all that good stuff. The game was really epic and I even played you last game and you definitely got a creative mind and can add a lot of flavour to relatively simple ideas so keep doing what you doing <3

You too! Keep practicing and getting inspiration from the internet and I’m sure you will get better! (I mean, I draw silhouette because I can’t draw actual character with detail yet lol).
