Thank you so much for listening and for the lovely comment!
About the dynamics, I definitely agree! I think dynamics along with articulations as well are things I will definitely try to improve on as I continue working on these tracks. I actually did spend quite a while trying to get the trumpet to sound right, so I'm glad that came out well :)

Wow that's so nice, thank you so much! That makes me really happy to hear!

Hope you have a great weekend as well :)

Really cohesive and fun soundtrack! Makes me want to hear more music from this hypothetical game. I love how you made character themes based off of the picture theme, I think they fit really well!

My favorite track here is definitely "The Dreamer", it's really comfy sounding but also interesting to listen to. Kind of gives me an Animal Crossing vibe with the guitar? But a lot more dynamic and energetic than most Animal Crossing music.

It's really neat how each track transitions into the next in your youtube video, gotta appreciate the extra effort there! The consistent heartbeat rhythm really helps tie the tracks together there.

Think my favorite track here is "Voices of Mist",  the plucky rhythm combined with the voices create a really unique haunting atmosphere.. The bell (?) instruments you use in "Sunless Garden" are also super cool! (Sunless Garden is also just a very nice name, really piques the imagination)

Really cool that you went with a Baroque style! love Baroque music :)
I think my favorites are Malinda's Theme and Town of Alban. The harpsichord / recorder combo in Malinda's Theme I think captures the theme/setting especially well, and the Town of Alban has a really nice wistful quality to it.

This is such a fun soundtrack! "Our Peaceful Home" and "Cozy Town" really sound like they'd fit in an early-gen Pokemon game, they're so sweet and nostalgic sounding, but also really full and dynamic.
I think my favorite track has to be "The Forgotten World" though, it's just so exciting! It sounds like running around in a big exciting world, maybe even racing game energy.

The gameboy style box art and the story idea are both super cute too! The story really gives me Cardcaptor Sakura vibes haha. I've always thought a Cardcaptor Sakura style collectathon RPG would be fun.

Love all the different interlocking parts in "Beginning of an Adventure"! The fiddle and the flute especially set up the high fantasy vibe well. And the way the beat kicks in around 1:24 is really exciting!
The combat theme is super dynamic and fun as well! I like the use of vocals in there.

I think both of these tracks convey the sense of hope and adventure you wanted really well!

All 3 of the tracks have a bit of a cold and lonesome sound that's really cohesive, and I feel like suits your game concept well! The name "Forgotten Fields" is definitely fitting here. I also feel like
Think my favorite track here is "To the world that I discovered". The way the chorus comes in around 1:04 sounds really cool. I love the name too!

Love the cover art and the theming here! All the track names are really evocative.

The beat that kicks in partway through Pomegranates & Cauliflowers is super interesting, it's a really energetic beat that's not entirely in line with the rhythm of the chords, so that gives it a little bit of a disorienting feeling.  Really cool! The word pomegranates in the title here instantly makes me think of Hades/Persephone haha which adds to the vibe of the piece for me.
I agree with another commenter that the bendy guitar parts in Old Garden sound amazing. Also the part around 0:58 when it transitions into a slower underwater/spacey-sound is super neat. I think my favorite track here has to be either Old Garden or Where I Came From.

Everything here is really creative and sounds full of wonder! I could see these tracks fitting in well with the game concept you described.

Thank you so much for your lovely words!  Happy to hear that I was able to keep things interesting throughout :)

The artwork and youtube video for this submission are super cool!
Think my favorite track here is "The Bells of Battle", it's really dynamic and exciting. I love all the in-depth world-building as well, really appreciate how you weaved it all in with the tracks!

Wow the vocals in Thriving Camp are really cool! It's super interesting how you're combining the vocals with the percussion. It really gives the tracks a lot more character than if you just used the percussion themselves, and I can picture them fitting in well in a game!

I love how dreamy this is! I've been trying to figure out how to achieve this myself, having a lush dreamy ambient sound while keeping it interesting, but I haven't been very successful so far. I really like the instruments / VSTs you used here!

Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment!

Yes I added the trumpet when I was working on black market because it needed a little more oomph. Can't have a black market feeling too empty! I do agree that the title track seems a bit disconnected here. I originally sketched it out when I had a much more ambitious amount of music planned, but wasn't able to realize it all.

The cover art is so cool! It really fits the music as well.
The Intro theme is so sweet and lovely, I really like the part when the left-hand arpeggios start around 0:54, kind of reminds me of my favorite part of Claire de Lune. I also really like in The Twisted Man around 1:09 the Horn (?) and Tuba duet, leading into the big choir blast. The solo piano in Whispers is really beautiful and intimate as well. So nice!

Such a great variety of amazing tracks here.

I'm so glad you enjoyed, thank you for listening and for the kind words!! I actually used tabla drums for the "Moon Forest Base" track, which I feel gives a really nice bounce to the rhythm.

The Harpy Town theme sounds so cool! So fun and magical. I love the build up around ~0:44 and how it all cuts out ~1:05.

Thank you so much! Appreciate the time spent listening and commenting :)

I'm glad you liked the variety of styles -- I wanted to have each of my tracks be pretty distinct, but feel cohesive enough that they could still be part of the same game. I'm actually a violinist by training! so I'm not very good at piano but I've spent a lot of time messing around on it haha

Loving the idea of the player being accosted by just some weird birds! I really enjoy how the tension builds up in "Strange Birds", and "Strange Mead" is super pretty.

Super cool! All three tracks are really exciting (I especially love the transition around 0:33 in "Wheel of Time"). I think they really sell the idea of an adventure full of turmoil.

I'm not very good with the more electronic sounds myself, so it's really fun to see here how intense and impactful they can make the music sound.

Really enjoy how you set up the mood here! I actually like the long first section, I feel like the buildup really suits the genre. The dark main melodic line sets up the horror mood, and then twinkles and vocals make it feel like an underwater exploration.

Loving the nostalgic sound! It really does feel like classic rpg music. The Town Theme especially sounds very pokemon.

Thank you so much for the kind comments! I like the transition in black market too haha

Definitely a valid complaint w the piano dynamics! I rushed a bit to finish the title theme in time, but I could have spent more time there for sure messing w/ the MIDI velocity or maybe automating the volume.

All three tracks sound beautiful! I love all the effort put into the world-building here just based off of the image theme, super cool!

Super cool and creative! Really loving the eclectic rhythm and the tense sound of the string melody over the chaos of everything else. The bird(?) sounds I thought was really interesting too.

Really hits that undertale/earthbound sound! Think my favorite one is First Encounter, I feel like the melody really captures the emotion of a first meeting with the sense of nerves and slight excitement.

Super cool vibe! I love how diverse the instrumentation in Ninshat is, and the vocals in Shuougaïm are really unique, I feel like they really help paint the scene.

Really cool! Love how the clock effect in Kmart and the guitar in Pallandrome have kind of an irregular rhythm that drives the beat forward.
