Zone 9 - Corvalt's Village

Author Comments

Hi !
First I would like to explain what is DreyLand. DreyLand is a platform game in a fantasy world that I really want to create someday. Here are the soundtrack I have created for each zone, map and boss. They are 10 zones in all the game, and each zone have his unique soundtrack (a map, a theme, and a boss).
Here you are listening to : The Zone 9 theme. this song will be played when you are into the 10 level of this zone.
Don't hesitate to tell me what you think about it

I have listened to all of the tracks because I wanted to know if they all are in the same style.
So I'm gonna try and review all at once.

Listening to them makes me feel that it will be a action packed game since all of them is fast paced. So there is never a safe zone... yet. I guess that there are more zones.

The overall problem i felt with the songs where the clap, it makes me feel the fl studio too much. But that is a matter of taste I guess.
Then there is the melodies, they seem very random but in tune. It gets hard to remember the melodies and it's hard to listen to.

But the good part is that they have a good tune and the potential to give the listener a enhanced feeling to the game play, whatever kind of game it is.
It feels pixelated :)

Hope to hear more about the game and a great story to it.

Keep it up and good luck!

Hi,
first I want to say you a big thanks for this review! (It really help me to improve and this is what I want!)
You are 100% true :) Indeed, this game is an action/platformer "retro" 2D. I understand what you are saying about the clap and I think you're right, all songs I post here is completed at 80% (The only 20% is for new instruments I'll use for the final version of the game, and the clap too will be change at this time).
The game will have a lot of zones and secrets zones hide everywhere in the whole game and there are no safety place, you're right one more time ^^ (I'm glad to see people who can understand my work and the message I want to bring, that's make me happy :p)

I don't feel that the melody is so "random", I tried to do a "Celtic/Folk" style mixed with Rock sound for the Boss theme, and Orchestral/Electro for the main zones theme. It's really difficult to explain, but I hope you understand me. I really want this game to be original :)

Besides, I want the player that he understand just by listening to the music that he is progressing in the game, I want it to know that the game is going harder and harder until the last boss fight.

Just for information, the Game Design is already created, the programming is in progress and the story is already created too :) I really want to fulfill my dream of the DreyLand project, and I am really happy to see people who is interested in it too.

So, thank you (a new time, to spend your free time to reviews the all tracks), I take what you said me in consideration, I'll do my best! Thanks a lot! :)
