OMG AHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!! πŸ˜­πŸ’•

LOL yeah so far I've only ever worked with royalty-free music (though in the future I would LOVE to have a chance to actually work with a composer!!!). I always spend a long time just like hunting around for tracks and then living with them for a while to figure out what I feel vibes with certain scenes. I do this for the main game too and honestly there is so much good stuff out there. A lot of the music I've found and used has actually inspired stuff within my games themselves!! I really love working with music in general kdfjalsdkfa AND LMAO YES FREESOUND MY BELOVED. I've downloaded so many sounds from there it sends me emails like "we see you've downloaded a lot..." πŸ’¦

Thank you so much for all your kind words about the art and animations! I had a ton of fun acting like a director while setting up the scenes. And I'm glad you found it funny!!! I never know how well my humor will hit with people LMAO especially as it tends to be a bit off the walls. YEAH... especially towards the end I can imagine not knowing anything about the original would make things feel EVEN MORE OFF THE RAILS. But I'm at least glad you could still overall enjoy it even without knowing anything!! Thank you so much for giving it a try in spite of that!!!

Just thank you so much again! This was such a lovely and wonderful comment and it really made my day!!! It means so much!! πŸ₯ΊπŸ’•

(LOL I NEVER KNOW WHERE TO PUT THE COMMENTS EITHER I wish they were connected)

Yeah it shows that the music you choose is super considered. It's just so cool you can find stuff that fits so well. I really need to try branching out from just classical :D

Haha yeah, I also have had the email from freesound... a couple of times... :D

And you're welcome. You made an awesome game. I hope a billion people play it.

Sorry, but I just have to drop in here quickly to intrude and say that it makes my heart soar to see someone else show the same enthusiasm towards finding and matching BGM tracks they've found to their games as I do xD It's something I totally nerd out about and spend waaaaay too much time doing, and when I try to explain it to my brother, he stares at me like I've just crapped on the floor or something T_T

I have had many a field day in the past on royalty-free music sites and in DLsite BGM pack sales x3 Aaaand, then I wound up falling down the rabbit hole of trying to make my own soundtracks at some point, which has become equally addictive, haha.

My point is, matching music to your game is so much damn fun!! <3 And your choices for this were absolutely perfect! ^-^

OMG KINDRED SOULS πŸ€

I know exactly what you mean!! It's so much fun perusing through and living with tracks and vibing with them until you're able to find the perfect ones for different scenes! I tend to go through and just start downloading all the songs I like, then put them in a big playlist and just listen to it for days while I'm thinking about the story and scenes until the music pieces start clicking together in my head aksldfjasdkl I AM SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES THIS πŸ’•

I have a couple sites I've used regularly, from individual composer sites to DOVA-Syndrome. Also recently I jumped to an Audiostock subscription after I saw some of my fav composers have even more tracks available there and I have not regretted it. So much great music guhhh

THANK YOU I AM GLAD YOU THINK SO πŸ˜­πŸ’•

Hehe :3

YES! I do something similar xD I get a bunch of stuff that fits the themes, and then I spend ages just absorbing it, haha. Sometimes I wind up coming out with new scenes entirely inspired by the tracks that otherwise wouldn't have existed! I stick em all on my phone and listen while I'm exercising, which often gives me even more ideas x3 and if I have to go do errands in town and stuff, I listen to em while I'm walking as well, haha. Helps me so much with writing to have something suitable to listen to as well!

I need to check some of the sites out that you mention! Cos I started out on my first game just using incompetech, then wound up getting bits and bobs cheap from DLsite, and kinda stuck with that for ages without exploring much else >.< As much as I love trying to make my own tracks now, I'm just not good enough to cover all the sorts of music I need sometimes. Like the sorta circus-y themed stuff that you've got! I could never make stuff as cool as that x3 not unless I somehow managed to find a loops pack that was circus-themed, haha. And I really suck at making happier, more upbeat tunes >.<” It's like last year with Limbo Line, I did my best to try and make a full soundtrack, but there were moments I couldn't possibly fill, like the theme for Niard, haha. So I kept some of the royalty-free stuff in there to fill in those spots where I faltered x3

"Sometimes I wind up coming out with new scenes entirely inspired by the tracks that otherwise wouldn't have existed!" --> OMG SAME!!! Lololol I feel like our processes feel incredibly similar!! This just made me smile so much!

And hahaha oh gosh I had a rather similar type of journey, starting out with sites like incompetech for my first game. I actually hadn't thought to try DLsite for music! (I only used it for the first time to get some BGs for this game but never for anything else.) Once I found DOVA was when my music world really opened up though LOL Those exact type of tracks with like a kinda circus-y / spoopy Halloween vibe are my absolute fav, so I just gravitated to composers that had a bunch of stuff like that (and from there followed them to Audiostock). That's honestly so impressive though that you actually make a good deal of your own music! I couldn't even imagine doing that by itself let alone on top of all the other dev work that goes into a game! Heheh you shouldn't feel bad at still using the occasional royalty-free song even amongst your own though!! It's already so amazing what you're doing!! (Also The Graveyard Shift is next on my list to play and I'm really excited hehehe πŸ€­πŸ’•)

Hehe, woo! *High five* ^-^

If anything, I have probably relied too much on DLsite for assets since I can't draw to save my life >.< And they have so many sales and give so many coupons that it's really helpful, haha. Not a fan of all the half-naked and sometimes fully naked anime ladies that pop up when I go on there though xD

Yeah, any time I find music with circus or Halloween-y vibes I pretty much lose my shit x3 They just sound so gooood <3 I was just telling a friend the other day that I used to be so obsessed with the soundtrack for a rollercoaster we have here called The Smiler cos of its creepy circus vibes, that I even did a cosplay of the ride one year for Halloween xD I absolutely LOVED the circus-y tracks you used <3

And well, I didn't know wtf I was doing when I started trying to make tracks x3 in many ways, I still don't xD But the fact that you can get music producer packs on Humble Bundle sometimes where all the loops and samples are labeled with tempo and stuff is super helpful. Same with all the free stuff on looperman! It means that even a noob like me can kinda just piece together short loops and samples like a puzzle until you eventually have a track :3 Makes me feel less awful about the fact that I can't art as well, cos I'm soooo jealous of all you super talented devs out there that can write AND draw your own stories!! ^-^ That will never be me T_T haha. Cos as I said, I can't draw to save my life >.< haha.

And aww, thank you so much for checking it out <3
