king's comfort orchestration

Ooh, I like it. Very Elder-Scrolls-esque. Especially the beginning and the last third. Also reminds me a little bit of the "Fable" series. This really has the vibes of all those great western RPGs we know and love. I'm a little jealous of the guy who did the orchestration. He seems to have a very good orchestral library, better than what I'm using. :D
The only really negative thing I can find is... if you were to use this in a game, making this song loop properly is gonna be one hell of a challenge. But since this is not a resource, I think this point is kinda irrelevant. ^_^

Good work! :)

Thanks. Yes, strong western RPG elements. After studying games and music from a developer perspective, yes-- it is not tailored for a game.

Chris Muggli-Miller - yes, he has a 6 year music degree and quite a fabulous studio.
His orchestration of Lunar: Eternal Blue even got Noriyuki Iwadare's attention. He sent him an email telling him how touching his orchestration was. Chris got skill. hehe

Maybe not for an RPG Maker game. But in a game like Skyrim where looping music isn't really an issue, I think this could work really well. Just to create the atmosphere. :)

Oh, wow... that's the kind of stuff that makes me keep going, you know. Eventually being able to do something like that... that's why I keep on practicing. ^_^

Yes. It's mostly balance of life / work. If you can sustain momentum with your desires and rekindle your passion. Workflow is so important in production and progress.

I love this track, thank you for sharing. As Kaimen said it is very Elder Scrolls esque, and I'm a sucker for their soundtrack.

I have not. Not yet anyway. I wanted to make a game myself that uses exclusively my music. So far, everyone's been telling me I'm talented and that my work is "amazing" but no one ever used my music or had me compose a track for a project. Don't know why. Might be because people like to use the stuff made by the "professionals". :P

Pfft. I won't stop making music just because no one's using it. I got way too much fun composing. It's not my problem if people don't want awesome music in their games. XD

Kaimen, that's just because you need to find a project with a director.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VIII

If you go to that link and look at the top right corner, what do you see?

Director
Artist
Programmer
Composer

The game could not have been made without the combined effort of everyone. Granted it was quite a big game. However it sounds like you just need to get on the right project with someone who knows what they want and knows how to direct development. Yoshinori Kitase was the director of the game, and essentially all Nobuo Uematsu (composer) did was make music as they asked for it. They said "I need a sound that fits a battle at the top of a satellite tower on a stormy night." and he went and made it.

Kazushige Nojima - Writer

Nojima also wrote the original lyrics of Liberi Fatali for Final Fantasy VIII and both Suteki da Ne and the Hymn of the Fayth for Final Fantasy X.

The caliber of music you are making it sounds like you have a special talent for music itself. I'm not saying at all you don't have what it takes to make a game, but I'm just saying maybe since you have so much investment into music itself you could find a director with a programmer and an artist.

I think you're right there. I'm constantly underestimating my skill and generally shy away of recruitment threads and all that because I always tell myself that there's someone better than me who can make the music. Which is, admittedly, very stupid of me to think. It's a personal trait of mine I need to overcome. A bit more confidence will do the trick. I think once I made a soundtrack for a game that actually releases, my confidence will be boosted to the moon and beyond. :D
