Just want to give a composer update that I have completed the main OST for the game and it has been mastered once again by my dear friend Danny Horvath (he also mastered LC2 and Wallachia).
Writing and recording this soundtrack has been an insanely difficult process due to the size of it, my desire to perform as much of it by hand as possible, additional work I did on story and pixel art and difficult life events.
I have just one bonus thing left I'm working on that should leave the final file count at 160 tracks.
A lot of the delays for this game have been on me and for that I apologize.
But as difficult as it has been it has also been an intense labor of love and I'm relieved that I don't have to worry anymore about my computer dying or losing anything.
Thanks so much everyone for your patience.
Things will start moving faster now!
There has been a movement away from really involved soundtracks in games (like what's happened with Zelda). That has disappointed me, and this seems like the exact opposite of that. I wouldn't expect anything less since the music was a highlight of Lecarde Chronicles 2, so I am looking forward to the soundscape. I want to feel the moody apprehension of entering an area, and I want to bob my head as I explore and overcome. (I find myself humming the taxidermy boss theme at times.) Words almost can't describe how much I am looking forward to this game. I hope the wait isn't too much longer. But I appreciate the care being taken, and I would rather have quality over expediency. I get the feeling there won't be a lot of games like this one for a while. Wondering if this is a summer title now, though.
