Description
- If we're talking about genre, then I would call it space ambient, if such a thing exists.

- I see this game as a story-driven visual novel with the theme of expressing your feelings and emotions during one of the best nights of the year.

- Both soundtracks were inspired by August 12, when the most intense meteor shower occurs, which could be observed even in a populated city with heavy light pollution.

- I created these tracks in Ableton Live 12 Lite using samples and instruments created by Venus Theory and Analog Lab library.

Really like this interpretation of the theme. A meteor shower feels very much like "a summer night" kind of thing to base a game around. It's such a good idea for the theme that I kind of wish there was more to hear!

Enjoying the relaxing, mysterious qualities of it all very much, the warm backing chords of the track Perseids are lovely. There's something I really, really like about the sort of repeating melodic rhythms in the background of Milky-Way. Just hits right.

Criticisms would just be that it's very short so there isn't much storytelling that can be done, or much variety, but the vibes you do go for work great.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, next time I’ll try to work harder on storytelling.

Very calming soundtrack, seems to do what it needs to do very successfully! Keep it up and hope to see you in the next jam!

You created an excellent soundtrack for gazing into the night sky and getting lost in lights of celestial bodies. The ostinato line in the piano of Perseids and it’s gently swirling pads entrance the listener, pulling them deeper into your soundworld.  These tracks take me back to a time when I was a child, my father pointing out various constellations and telling me stories of how they came to be, spending hours staring at the wonders of the infinite night. Quite a skillful fist submission. Congrats. I’d love to hear more.

Thank you, I will keep improving until the next jam

The atmosphere here is awesome, all the soft pads feel vast and open, perfect for getting lost in thought while gazing towards the night sky. Banger first jam submission, hope to hear more from you!

Congrats on your first jam submission!

With the theme of a meteor shower, I know it might not mesh well with the current songs, but one with more excitement like the moment people start seeing the meteors would be cool and add more variety to the OST

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I will take it into account if I make more tracks with this theme.

Wow i love the story idea so much, where the metor shower can be used as a story element to a lot of emotional pathways in the game and the music, i feel, captures that amazingly. Good stuff!!

Developer

I’m very glad you liked theme that I choose. Thanks!

This submission was very peaceful to listen to. I think these tracks would suit an emotionally driven visual novel as well. Nice job!

I love Space Ambient now! In all seriousness though your music is so deeply contemplative, it's just great. The feelings are out there and I spaced out for a moment to be truly honest. Lovely OST!

Perseids - I really like how ambient this is! The atmosphere that is created is very interesting and deep.

Milky Way - This song made me feel like I am staring up at the stars, feeling small. I was listening to the song and kept getting this feeling, and then looked at the track name and it was SPOT ON. WOW. This is so well made to feel like the Milky Way. Well done with this one.

Great work!! Love it!!!
