[tsc-devel] Secret Chronicles Music...

incontrast, I had replied to you on Game Jolt, but I figured I should reply by email, too.

Usually Secret Chronicles doesn't really use a retro style for music.  Even the 2D images tend to try and simulate 3D lighting in some way.  Your orchestral sound could work really well in the game.  We've been working on a new draft of the story and are wanting to eventually add cinematic scenes (using sprites) to the game.  Cinematic orchestral music will really work well with these goals.  I especially enjoyed your combat piece -- it was well composed. We actually do a have a military theme song task (https://github.com/Secretchronicles/TSC/issues/239).  The big priority right now is, of course, knocking out the Mario remixes for the release.  Ideally replacements would have the same feel or elicit the same reaction from people when they listen to them but would not sound at all like Mario music.  Generally level music needs to be loopable.
 If you start on something, let us know if you could so that we can keep track of work being done.  Someone else just responded to the game jolt posting and created a dying music replacement, but the other songs are still pending at the moment.  We also could try an iterative approach, listening to each version as it's further developed, but it's up to you what work style works best for you.
