Big ol' spoilers for both Klonoa 1 and 2 I'm using footage from the Phantasy Reverie series though the soundtrack remains unchanged from the previous game.

A re-orchestration of the Undersea Palace theme along with some additional tidbits from the Chrono Trigger soundtrack :) Every few years I try arranging this piece and each time it comes out a little better. It's a nice measure of my composing style and skill over time! Gameplay footage is by Grohlvana th-cam.com/play/PLdx-MmfUterx-oScne3fx_5tndqfItPcD.html

Been getting back into composing after a long while! Here's an arrangement that came out nicely from a week ago. Gameplay credited to Proton Jon th-cam.com/video/ONQfsUL053A/w-d-xo.html

How about some woeful and spooky tunes from the Mario & Luigi Series? 'Tis the season, after all. I always forget how much great music comes from these games. Yoko Shimomura is, and always will be, a force to be reckoned with. Arranged Tracks: Superstar Saga - Wohoo Hooniversity Partners in Time - Vim Factory Bowser's Inside Story - Deep Castle Happy Halloween everybody!

Chicory has some of the best music of an indie adventure game I've ever heard... but why? Let's see how Lena Raine's latest musical score slays it when it comes to writing music that has impact and presence. Warning! Some decent spoilers ahead...

This is one of my favorite pieces from the game. It strikes that perfect balance between intensity, danger, and excitement that accompanies these optional boss battles. And I'm always impressed at how Tristan keeps up that lighthearted, almost retro charm in the instrumentation even for these daunting pieces.

MAJOR SPOILERINOS AHEAD! Though its claim to fame is a revisitation of the classic Paper Mario formula, Bug Fables stands out in its own right as game with storytelling prowess. Today we'll talk about how this game exhibits good pacing, effective foreshadowing and character development, and tight coupling of lore and story.

Working on arranging some of the tracks from Bug Fables which I finished a little while back. I love the simple styles of a lot of the games music. It makes it fun to re-arrange and add bits of flair! Original soundtrack is composed by Tristan Alric and is available here tristanalric.bandcamp.com/album/bug-fables-soundtrack

Took a crack at this wonderful piece from one of my favorite games ever. Hope y'all like it! Thanks to Paper Mario Artist for uploading the high-quality intro

Today I'm taking a look at the soundtrack to Blasphemous, the 2019 Metroidvania made by The Game Kitchen. Get ready for somber guitar, despondent chords, and even a little broken Spanish from yours truly.

Finally got into Fire Emblem. I'm only 30 years late, so it's not that bad... anyway, love the title theme and thought I would do a rendition of it. Don't know why but this theme always gives me nostalgia from NES days more than anything else :)

Just finished God of War on the PS4 and I am blown away at this game's narrative. The writing, characters, and overall plot are phenomenally handled and despite the somewhat shorter game length, I find this game's story to be so compelling. So let's talk about 8 ways in which God of War's storytelling excels so much. I also tried a going off of my head instead of a script and it definitely show...
