Description
Approx. Duration: 5 minutes
There is no defined music genre.
My general artistic process for this was erratically placing notes on the piano roll and then massaging them into something listenable, followed by testing numerous variations in rhythm and instrumentation. Some tracks were made with looping in mind.

DAW used: LMMS, Audacity

Tracks:
Title - Title Theme
King/Down/Breakdown Jr - Variations on a character's theme
Fae Forest - A main area theme
Cantaloupe - A variation of the title theme for an emotional scene
Resolve - A conclusion/ending theme

I'm imagining this game as a short side-scroller with a heavy narrative focus.
The idea for the game is that you the player are an omnipresent entity attempting to guide an ailing descendant of King Arthur though a journey of self-discovery.

Message from the artist
hi! first time doing anything like this :)

Theme

Songs of a Forgotten World

How does it fit the theme?
The given written theme reminded me of the stories of King Arthur/Excalibur/Camelot/ect. Mostly fictional, but theres just enough doubt that it's a debated topic. A world of which we've "forgotten" the authenticity of (or lack thereof). Then I just sort of ran with that idea.

I really laughed a lot with the progression of the juniors, it is very funny, I give you that. The Resolve theme is very well achieved as a conclusion, and it brings back the happy Title theme, to round things up. A very entertaining set of songs , well done :)

I dig going for character theme variants - breakdown jr definitely had me feeling the breakdown. Love it when soundtracks can invoke that kinda anxiety/confusion.

I also really like the tone on the keys on fae forest, the dusty vibes make me imagine pollen and spores.

Resolve also managed to capture that nice end-of-game feeling well - the line that comes in at 1:02 or so reminds me of the OG Cave Story soundtrack (Which I adore) - props!

Fae Forest is really cool! One feedback I'd recommend is to explore more chord progressions (it's really fun). I also wish your other tracks were longer!
