Feedback: The soundtrack is amazing

Postby Bedshaped » Fri Jun 15, 2012 12:44 am

Title says it all.

Your guy did an incredible job with the sound in my opinion. I felt like the alpha sound was slightly monotonous at times, but this alternating music that flows with the state of the gameplay blows it out of the water.

It's extremely atmospheric and has my imagination running wild as I watch my little pixel men scamper around the ship :)

Wow, thanks a ton for the kind words! I'm working on the soundtrack full-time right now. My goal is to mix vintage synth/chiptune sounds with cinematic-style atmospheres. What you're hearing is a little less than half of the total amount of music that will be in the final release. Right now the tracks just play one after the other, but later they'll be associated with certain sectors.

Thanks again! Feedback like this keeps me going! :D
I made the music for FTL! :D

I hope the soundtrack will be provided along with the game for everyone, including those like me who only get to buy it when it's released.

Lestibournes,
I'll be releasing the soundtrack separately, hopefully with bonus material! Hopefully it'll be released simultaneously with the game, but it depends on circumstances. Finishing the game us first priority. :)

I like the sound track too, and the good solid THUD noise a missile makes when it hits an enemy ship :)
