Brilliant, epic, moving piece
I have always believed that the quality of a game is at least 25% due to its soundtrack. No one wants to slay monsters, take down terrorists, or fly a starship across the galaxy to horrible tunes.
This piece, although it is a bit short, is as good as, if not better than some of the professionally done video game music I have heard. It's a real shame that your friend never finished his game. With music like this, I would have played and favorited it, even if it were just a run-of-the-mill turn-based RPG.
This piece evokes an image of a lonely hero drifting through the black void of space in an old, decrepit vessel that has seen better days with a grim, laconic skeleton crew. It is truly moving and thought-provoking.
But I have waxed on long enough in this review, and my hands are starting to get tired, heh. Excellent piece, and I hope that you will make more like this, or perhaps even expand this one into a full song.
