Also, to those who can swing the cost of the pack, I've also put together a Free/Pay what you want 5 song sampler. Taken directly from the 22 tracks. You can check that out here. https://aaronccomposer.itch.io/pixel-realms-rpg-music-pack-sampler

Just watched the trailer. Game looks awesome and I love the music! Who did the composing for this?

Hey everybody! I just released a new music pack called Pixel Realms which is a collection of 22 loopable, 8-bit chiptune tracks made specifically for RPGs.

The main source of inspiration was taken from Final Fantasy 1 so you’ll find themes for towns, over-worlds, dungeons, battles, inns, shops and a bunch more.

🎵 (WAV + Mp3 included)

▶️ Here’s a quick promo featuring the main battle theme. I wanted to see if I could get away with tossing a prog metal breakdown inside a chiptune track haha.

🎉 Lastly, I’m running a launch sale (WOOT WOOT!) 30% off for a little bit : https://aaronccloutier.itch.io/pixel-realms

Thanks for reading! Would love to connect and talk games/dev/composing so feel free to reach out. 

Best,

Much appreciated Jonny! Looking forward to checking it out.

Hey Jonny,

I just downloaded the game but it comes up as an .nes file (I'll include a screenshot)

I'm a Mac user and haven't used simulators before.(I'm old)

Where's the best place to go for a walkthrough?

Best,

Oh that's awesome! I've never touched double bass before but I've always had such a deep admiration for anyone rocking orchestral instruments. I'm always in awe of that whenever I see a show with orchestral instrumentation. I bet that's super fun to compose on.

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

Thanks Jonny! Yeah it's an old one but has served me well. Do you play at all?

Oh this looks awesome! I'm definitely checking this out when I get a chance. 

Hey DJ,

Currently listening to the soundtrack right now. Great work! I need to figure out how to do those diminished harmonized arpeggios during "Bound By Fate". That and "Foreboding Wind" are my current favorites so far. Will have to play the game now and circle back for the soundtrack. 

By the way, who did your cover art? Love the style and in the market to have someone do my cover. 

All the best,

-Aaron-

Hey Alan,

Love the music! I was curious, who did your cover art?
