The music of "Blackout" - Part 3 and Final Thoughts
Wow! A massive thanks to all who played, rated and commented on Blackout! And thank you very much for very nice comments about the music from the game! :heart: It warms my heart.
I loved scoring Blackout. Spooky-sounding game music is just a treat to both listen to, and to make! I mean, it's no Luigi's Mansion, but I'm quite pleased with the stuff I achieved in only one weekend. I've shared 2 out of 3 tracks previously, so naturally here's the last one.

This one's probably my favorite track. It was also the last one I wrote before I went to bed on the night of the deadline. I originally wrote just the first 36 seconds, and it was supposed to end there. I felt creatively exhausted and thought I had no more juice to make any more new music. The programmer Frasse told me "just find a small section to loop for the second half of the game". I thought "alright... let's just do this". And it turned into a full new track instead. It plays on the main melody from the main theme, but in a Major key (Mixolydian in fact, for you music nerds out there!), but turns into a new thing. Anyways, enjoy! :smile:
FINAL THOUGHTS
Working with my team was a blast. We had lots of fun! A big thank you to the best team one could ask for during a no-sleep weekend; .fpeg, LiquidFunk, Okamit, Frasse and a huge, huge thanks to Falafel for promoting us and submitting our game to every stream possible. We wouldn't have made it without you! :heart:
See you all next season!
...oh, and by the way. We're making a Post-LD version, more on that soon...! Follow the game on itch.io for more news!
