Hello everybody!

This week we have a bit less visual stuff to show. But not to worry. We have something -just- as good!!!

We’re going to talk about the Music in Sattk! And soon enough we’ll even give you some music to listen to as well.

Now, Sonic and the True King, is an entirely non-profit project that is being created by a tiny tiny team. So the budget for this game is virtually non-existant. Thus, most of the music used in the game was composed by the incredible Kevin MacLeod who’s Royalty Free music you can find on incompetech.com (I would put in a link but tumblr has recently made posts containing links hidden in the tumblr search feature)

Alls his music is completely free, and yet really good in quality, which has a good- and a bad side.

On the good side, it means we have access to a diverse soundtrack to fit all the scenes you’ll be playing through in Sattk.

On the bad side, there is a high chance that you’ve heard the same tracks in other indie-games before.

BUT, I said most of the music comes from incompetech.com, not all of it.

In fact one part of your tiny tiny developer team happens to be an incredibly talented composer who has already created two amazing tracks for the game which we’ll be sharing with you soon! And they’re also in charge of composing the game’s official theme song. That, however you will most likely have to wait for, until the game’s release.

Just a reminder that if you like the music from The Arcana app game, you really should thank Kevin Macleod.

All of the music used in The Arcana is free-use and made by a single person. His music can also be heard in many small visual novel projects, Youtube videos, advertisements and other app games.

And many, many more.

So, in the end, I decided against using his music in FOG. There are several other indie games that reuse his music verbatim, and I felt that the music, though very fitting, would keep my game from standing out.

The music of FOG is original, but if I ever decide to reuse Incompetech music in anything dreamFOG, I won’t copy verbatim; I’ll remix it or mash it up somehow.
