I’ve had a rough week but I’ll spare the details, the important\u00a0thing to note\u00a0is that I’ve been in a lot of pain so my productivity dropped to nearly zero.\u00a0 However, for some reason, working on music was a lot more relaxing than drawing, writing,\u00a0or programming, so I had some time to get more of the soundtrack completed.\u00a0 It is looking like Shadowdawn Genesis<\/em> will have roughly 30 tracks, but some of that depends if there’s room to put the “extra” areas like Razorcat Isle into the final game, which there better be!<\/p>\n

Part of the process is repurposing selections of music from the original Shadowdawn <\/em>project.\u00a0 This was intended from the beginning; it’s the same world and every piece of music was composed for a specific area or person, so it makes sense in this “prequel” (yes I know you can’t have a prequel if the original isn’t out, but the fact is there’s a well-documented future all this is leading up to!)\u00a0 Unfortunately there weren’t very many tracks to borrow from the old game, and the ones I did bring over to the current project have been drastically remixed, so they really are totally new compositions.<\/p>\n

Because I haven’t shown any decent screenshots for a couple weeks while I work on all aspects of art (maps, portraits, animations, you know the drill), I’ll share a track from another project in the Shadowdawn <\/em>series.\u00a0 Once Shadowdawn Genesis<\/em> is complete one of the smaller games I’m going to make is a side-scrolling action game closer to Mega Man <\/em>and Metroid<\/em>, with a few RPG elements to keep the Shadowdawn <\/em>theme going, starring Tiya from the country of Xalmeise.\u00a0 I already have it planned out and plotted, and the work is far far far <\/em><\/strong>less involved as it is only six linear-but-connected stages so I should be able to finish that game in a couple months.\u00a0 Some small part of me wants to make it first just because it would be done faster.\u00a0 Anyways, without further ado:<\/p>\n

Oh, before I forget, since I don’t want to leave that hanging, there’s nothing serious wrong with me, so this lull will pass soon enough \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
