Yeah well things happen. We’d like to get some stuff out to you soon, but I dunno if that will actually happen.

CERTAIN PEOPLE haven’t been on the ball lately. Like me.

My favorites are “The Smell of Wildflowers” and “A Quiet Investigation.”
There’s also something I want to note: YOU HAVEN’T POSTED ANYTHING IN ALMOST 2 MONTHS! WHAT THE HECK!?!?!?!?

@PigmaskSturm
I’m one of the composers. Yes, we are working on making the game music with all the lovely quirks we know and love. Plenty of background noises and samples.

All the music in this update is quite good, I must say.

Keep it up.

I would love a “real” final Boss battle, but then, it wont be a mother game. Making the way you defeat the final enemy having to do with your quests like in the first mother game would be nice. Is good to see the main hero has a unique sickness to him like in the first two mother games.

I have to ask two questions about this game. Will it be as sad as mother 3 was and are you guys going to put sounds like in mother 3 where you would always hear porky’s theme somewhere and in mother 2 where you hear those weird sounds in caves?

@Kevvviiinnn:
I must agree with Armanky, the trumpets get a little loud on Tropical 1, but the song is good otherwise. I like how both of you have the same quality in terms of style, you’re pretty much on the same level. Melody 1 reminds me of Chrono Trigger in a way, it has a similar emotional feel to it.

Armanky is better suited for area BGMs whilst your songs are better for cutscene music, or a theme song of a certain person (kind of like how Pigmasks have their own theme). Name Input 1 sounds like a theme for a tutorial rather than a naming screen, or like a waiting room…. this is all opinion though right?

Kev: I enjoyed your Tropical 1. It felt like you succeeded with the theme, and it has a lot of life to it. An island resort, for sure.
But about Name Entry… It honestly sounds more like battle music at times, but it seems to switch between two different feels of that as well. It features a heavily synthesized and childish tune with xylophone, that sounds perfect for a battle theme motif. Then after, with the odd noises, it hits a different feel especially with the music at around 0:23, before it switches to that ‘child’ part again. I really like it, but it sounds like two seperate battle music themes in the works to me. But both themes sound very good stylistically for the Mother series, in my opinion.
Melody is very nice. Like a cross between a child’s bedroom and a grand entrance hall. I can see it as a memory background music, or as someone’s home, probably a secondary but important character.

Appreciate the comments! This is also not the first time Spicy Guys has been compared to Pokemon music. I haven’t played the GBA games in a while, but I remember that accordion pretty much being a signature instrument.

I’m also sad that Kevvviiinnn’s hasn’t gotten more of a response, because I really like your work. The tropical thing is one heck of an earworm, and I love the sudden transition and the strings at 0:43. I will say, however, that the trumpet doesn’t blend very well and gets a little bit on the ear-piercingly high side, especially at the first bridge into the main melody. It’s especially noticeable with headphones.

Your name input music is great, and I’m curious to know how you threw in the crowd/static noises from EB at the beginning there. The melody’s pretty good, but I feel like the second track at the beginning doesn’t harmonize well in a couple of spots. The rest of it is really cool though, especially considering how much I’ve been struggling to come up with a melody tune in this style.

I also like the Busy Town theme. I could actually see it as name input music as well, maybe. It’s kind of similar to Mother 3′s in some ways, especially with the synth strings.

Can I get some opinions on my submissions? I enjoy the celebration of Armanky’s work, but I’d like to hear what you guys think of the music I made as well. I’ve never played a Mother game, and I’ve only heard a few of the songs, but I’m hoping these are appropriate for a new Mother sequel.
