8-bit Story Book (Mac13)

Author Comments

Well, I noticed that there was a contest for 8-bit musc, and of course I had to get involved!

This is my submission for the 8-bit Mac13 contest.

Because video games in my mind have always been an open storybook, I figured that creating a cliche story concept with the music would be perfect for this contest.

Anyways, this song was made in FL-Studio10. I used the "Magical 8-bit VST" for my sounds, and overall I love my finished project. Hopefully you guys will feel the same. Enjoy!

Edit: Slowed down from 160 bpm to 140 bpm

I like how it turns out from a happy go-go tune to something more tense. I don't dig much of the new-age 8-bit, but this sounds good (that is, melodies and all :D). Delivers the mood nicely (as it's kind of supposed to).
Also, don't ask why, but the structure reminds me a bit of Doom's endgame theme :D You know, dead rabbit ending (or sth like that).
(If you wonder why 4.5 stars, I rarely give full 5 star scores. All artistic pieces have something to improve, even if it wasn't obvious. In the vote system my vote still goes for 5)

Ah cool! Thanks for the review!

Interesting song. I like how the mood changes. It starts out happy, than tension builds up more, after that it ends happy again. Makes for a nice story. Maybe you made the accompanying instruments during the more exciting part play double speed, to get more variation, and a better sense of climax.

GamekrazzyProduction responds:

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the review!

Love the opening theme. It's adorable. And it contrasts the other themes very much. Good job, and
good luck with the contest mate!

GamekrazzyProduction responds:

Thanks for the review mate!

This song is adorable, might be because of the bunny avatar. I don't even know why. I can just see a little 8-bit bunny hoping along to this track, great tune! Very addicting.

Dat ending, good stuff.

GamekrazzyProduction responds:

LMAO! Thanks for the review!!!!
*You just made my day*

Really like the panning in this, the snare (sounds like an explosion fx with a shortened waveform, then the full waveform plays after x bars, and that's awesome,) on the right is a little to subtle in the mix imo, like just a tiny bit too subtle.

The sounds/melody remind me of cave story, which is a recent pixel game I played with awesome music x3

Nice track.

GamekrazzyProduction responds:

Ah, I see what you mean on that right being a tad too subtle, but after spending some time messing with the balancing, I don't think I can quite fix that without drowning the rest of the song.

Thanks for the review!
