A Valley Without Wind, Vol. 1 soundtrack on sale!

[PVega8]

AVWW Vol. 2 is now going to be AVWW 2.

I'm glad you like the new music!

Check out the new theme to AVWW 2: https://soundcloud.com/pablo-vega-music/to-one-wholl-stand-and-fight

The idea behind it is that the world was once beautiful, darkness crept over it, and now there's someone who will fight to make it how it used to be.

The choir in the background has 12 voices (me dubbed over a ton of times), then 6 more voices of war chants (grunts of different kinds essentially). The main melody is sung by my wife, and you can faintly hear my voice in the background towards the left speaker as well. This was a ton of fun to do, and the first track with actual lyrics in it.

Hope you guys enjoy it! And stay tuned for the release of AVWW 2.

Lyrics:

Long ago, when skies would brightly show
The stars that glow above a blue horizon,
I'd stand below them, and though the wind would blow,
I'd wave hello, and always fix my eyes on

Those lights that grow, with moon up high and sun down low,
No rush to go, the dawn would always rise on.

But darkness grows, and light now flickers low,
And shadows roam, and hope has passed
To one who'll stand and fight.

That is just awesome.

Btw, the "enhanced" version of AVWW1's main theme, is that staying in the game anywhere?

[Mánagarmr]

The lyrics really took me by surprise! :O I didn't read the thread, I just clicked the link and listened, so when you guys started singing, I went O_o.

Very nice!

I'm not sure yet. I'll have to talk to Chris about it.

I'm pretty sure it will be.  We're still distributing it with the game, and I might use it for right when you are starting a new game and choosing your character, etc.

Might work well actually. I was thinking the other day that a separate bit of music for the character select might be nice.

A couple of my favourite character select musics:

Edit: Something I've just realised -- the music cuts out when selecting a mage class. If you do implement the old theme as a character select music it should probably run on through the Mage Class select screen. Gives the player a little more time to enjoy it, too.

New remastered version of the Theme if any audiophiles are interested!

[LaughingThesaurus]

Just want to say I discovered something that's probably well known. I think the warp gate theme song for Valley 1 actually has a bit of an AI War theme mixed in later on... exactly like the SMW Special World song. Was that a deliberate nod to the classics like the game was?

[Coppermantis]

Indeed it does have some AI War mixed in. Took me an embarassingly long time to get it, I had to have someone point it out before I recognized the tune.

[LaughingThesaurus]

In your defense I kind of listen to the songs obsessively. Because they're awesome.

[PVega8]

Considering that the AI War theme was my first real successful theme, you will hear it probably once in every OST good catch!
