Looks amazing. And the music is perfect. I actually can't believe there's a whole other soundtrack for the Assessor; I can't think of another game that's done something so deep and interesting.

I'm sad that the Assessor's gameplay isn't clicking with so many people, one of the reasons for that is that it means they won't be much exposed to the songs attached to him.

@CameronPaxton

Жыл бұрын

It was always going to be a divisive character, as the gameplay is so different from the Engineer. Personally, I think it's a lot of fun to play as the Assessor (especially if you embrace the chaotic nature of it instead of fighting against it) but I can definitely see how it's just not going to be for some people. But, that said, there are QOL and changes coming based on player feedback. In fact I think there were some slight updates made yesterday! I'm very happy with the Assessor OST, and I think I actually like it more than the Engineer's. I'm also totally okay with it not being as popular, it just makes it that much more special to those few who really love the character :)

@@CameronPaxton Interesting, I never thought of this keeper as a potentially chaotic one, maybe I should try and embrace this. Most of us are used to optimal and controlled mining patterns like mining every 2-3 tiles. Anyway many thanks for these OSTs they're probably the best I've heard this year.

@CameronPaxton

Жыл бұрын

@@Bigbahlsen So glad you're enjoying them, thank you!

It's a pity these scores are so short, I guess it's a requirement from the devs because the digging phases are too short. I'm not gonna lie, I sometimes open the upgrade menu to pause the time just to listen to the music until the end. Great work by the way.

@CameronPaxton

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, it was definitely a constraint of the gameplay. Many of the tracks for Vol 1 were originally even shorter during development when the mining time was shorter! I'm actually working on some more long-form pieces for a new game mode :) I'm really glad you're enjoying what's already in the game though!

@lukaszpokoju

Жыл бұрын

@@CameronPaxton Wow, new modes and new soundtrack ! That's good news. Indeed, mining time doesn't leave much for a full score. As a creator it must have been a challenge to create melodic pieces with such a short time. They often get, cut in the game due to monster waves. But it doesn't matter so much, I've bought the soundtrack on steam so I can listen to the tracks fully when I'm not playing. I can't wait to hear your works in future updates. Music and sounds are an important part of the atmosphere of this game. Big thanks ✌

@CameronPaxton

Жыл бұрын

@@lukaszpokoju It was a challenge for sure! Particularly when I first started and we were trying to keep the tracks to about 45 seconds longs. Bumping them up to about 2 minutes gave them a little more room to breathe and develop :) But yes, I'm also excited to get to try some more long-form pieces as well, I think that will be a cool addition to the soundtrack. Thanks for your kind words!

I really love this OST. I'm not sure if I like it even more than the previous one, gonna need a few more replays to decide. Same question than last time, what were your inspirations ? Still metroid ? (oh and, perfect bounce is a BOP)

@CameronPaxton

Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! Honestly, I'm not sure there were many direct influences this time around. Perhaps Sigur Rós on a couple of them? For me, the Assessor feels like a much more complex character, and I imagine them to be more emotionally complex as well, like they spent so long training that they've now very elite and also very alone. That's not canon, just my own imaginings :) So this soundtrack to me is more of the inner world of the Assessor, whereas the soundtrack for the Engineer is more about how their surroundings are affecting them. If that makes sense!

Feels very classical, many motifs feel plucked from song writers from the romantic era.
