Only two tips i can give from college are 1. Study some topics outside college hours because teachers can be pretty awful at explaining sometimes. 2. You might enter college thinking you have a clear idea of what you want to do once you finish but be prepared because that idea might change at any point in time, be open to change and adapt. 

About the music, I'm not really sure tbh, Track 1 was originally the main theme but I'm not convinced, I feel it has good things but something tells me it's not enough. 
All versions of track 3 were made as a chase theme but I think they work more like an atmosphere for the actual theme.

Track 2 has good ideas, specially the little melodies that complement each other and was though for main theme also but in my opinion is too bland.

Those 3 tracks feel very disconnected in my opinion, maybe they could work in different situations after some polish but what I'm missing in general for the tracks and the whole OST is that one melody that is recognizable and that really represent the game, if you know what I mean

(1 edit)

Yeah, I understand. I also felt that track 3 was a bit disconnected.  Also, as a chase theme it seems a bit slow.

but track 1 on the other hand is very complete to me. It sounds like the intro to a mystery show which is what we're going for. I do feel like it's a bit short.

And about the collage thing, like how do I decide what to go into. I'm trying to choose between different kinds of computer and real-world science. Too many things make me excited to learn y'know?

Track 1 can be easily expanded, both with what´s already there plus some ideas from Track 2. On the other hand I'd love to have THAT one musical idea that screams the name of the game, if that makes sense. I'm just kinda stuck with that.

Tbh I kinda hate Track 3, the idea of tension is there yet feels so out of place. 

About college, if it helps, I was going to study biology and genetics but 4 months before starting the career I switched to Music composition lol. So it sounds like a cliché but.. you just kinda feel it

I understand what you mean in all regards man.

So don't worry and just take some time to actually take the path you prefer the most. That doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the other stuff though. Basically don't push yourself.

As for the music, I'll "mix" tracks 1 and 2 to make the main theme and hopefully come up with that one musical idea I was talking about. And think of something for the chase theme, we can use the old one as a place holder for now. 

It should be relatively quick but in case I take longer than expected is because of college, I REALLY want to finish my final project to finally be out lol 

Ha, I know what you mean. You just say to yourself "I'm going to finish!" and then you wonder where all the time went. LOL
