— Overview —

For the OST Composing Jam: Crunchtime, I explored a notion that I have been pondering for a while: 

“Given my composing style, would I be able to compose and orchestrate a 2-minutes piece in under 3 hours?”

To find the answer, I set myself a challenge to compose 4 pieces, each around 2 minutes, and the total time spent (including mixing as well) must not exceed 10 hours. 

The following is the outcome of it. Please lend me your thoughts on what you think of the pieces. Any jarring improvements that you think I should definitely make given more time?

— About the Game —

Initially, I imagined the theme “Two Worlds” as a black and white world a la “The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past”. However, as I have been fascinated with the metaverses recently, I decided to interpret the theme more towards “Spiderman metaverse”.

I have always wanted to make a fantasy action game around the concept of Guild Wars, where a guild of knights would wage war against a guild of wizards, or rangers, etc. 

I have a small prototype done years ago, titled “Guilds n Glory”, and it was cast aside because life duty took over. Doing the music pieces for this jam definitely has reawakened my desire to continue my prototype and develop it into something that people can play, and hopefully release on itch.io someday. 

These pieces would, I like to believe, suitably accompany the game and give it emotion and tell a better story for a game that would otherwise remain “just another action battle game”.

— Main Theme —

This piece is for the game theme. I’m hoping the melodic leitmotiv is memorable and hummable, that the mere humming of the tune would remind players, “aha that is Guilds n Glory”. Whilst I spent 2 hours to compose the other pieces, I grew a bit more ambitious with the orchestration of this one and ended spending 4 hours on it. I hope the complexity of the arrangement and orchestration shows a par of the effort I have put in for this piece :)
