Description
The game is a 3D Pixel Art RPG in the graphic stlye of Octopath Traveller.
Soundtrack genre: Indie, Electronica, Rock and Orchestral Elements
In this part of the imaginary game, the MC is going to a port town to use the old boat he got in an earlier quest to sail to an island were a big fighting tournament is held. The winner of this tournament receives an essential item to progress the story. Track 01 is for the town plaza in the evening when most of the shops are closed up. Track 02 plays when entering the coast part at the edge of town with the boat at the dock. Track 03 is for the boat ride to the island.
How did I compose...
01: started with the general idea of chord structure and instrumentation, got bigger with orchestral instruments like woodwinds
02: piano idea was recorded as a voice memo on my phone a while ago, seemed fitting fot a more ambient-type piece and for the night theme
03: melody came to me instantly as I finished track 01, it essentially just popped in my head
I used FL Studio for the soundtrack.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The soundtrack is set during evening or night time in the game, the concept of the ocean (picture) is an essential part of tracks 02 and 03 and also being represented by a recurring motif.

Great soundtrack, I loved listening to Boat Ride, had me doing a little dance xD I loved that melody towards the middle/later part of the track. Nice work :)
Thank you, I really appreciate it! Makes me very happy to hear
That has a lot of potential! The bad thing is obviously the mix, that's sad cause the composition itself is pretty neat!
Yes thats true I need to work on my mixing skills, thanks for the feedback!
Melodies are great and I love the progression, but levels are a bit off:
But the tracks brought me joy, great work!
Thank you for your feedback!
strong, wistful melodies that repeat just enough to be memorable. all of these tracks develop really nicely. thanks for sharing :)
Thank you very much, melodies is something I really like to focus on :)
Town Plaza: This chord progression. So good. I like how it moves back and forth between Mixolydian and minor feel.
Coastal Wind: Love the gated synth. Nice bass sound.
Boat Ride: Love the groove. This track put a smile on my face, really positive vibes.
Great work!
Makes me very happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
Nice work! I liked the overall vibe going here, very comforting. Coastal Winds is my favorite, that piano in the beginning is very calming and beautiful but when that synth comes in, really takes it to the next level! Great job
Thank you very much for your kind words!
I liked the chord progression here. they felt homey and at the same time, nautical.
The synths were also really nice the way they ebbed like the tide.
Not shying away from percussion is also a great thing for me as it gives the tracks more depth IMO.
That makes me very happy to hear, thank you!
This was a nice submission to listen to. In Town Plaza, drums and some other things were very obviously put onto a midi grid without much thought behind it, it would make it nicer to consider dynamics of each note (drums especially were very rigid), but I can imagine it being a very nice town theme with a little bit more attention to detail.
Coastal Wind is just wonderful. Feels much more human (although, again, the drums are very rigid - give it a few days, learn to create drum tracks and mix them in) and emotional. Loved the track.
Boat Ride made me smile. That track was cute. :) and well put together.
I believe you need to learn to mix a bit better, to glue the track together, and have less rigid structure of instruments. But overall, your submission made me happy and I really liked it. Thank you for making it. ❤️
Thank you very much for your great feedback, I will work on my mixing skills for sure! :)
