Victorian (2018)
Title Theme
Game Over Theme
Victorian is a 2D open world RPG made by a small team of students of the HDM Stuttgart. I had the pleasure to contribute to the game by writing the Title and the Game Over Theme. I also wrote music for the different locations like the mansion and the village. The setting of the game is in the victorian era and plays in an open world. The graphics are crafted in classic pixel style and a very reduced black and white colour palette with the exception red.
To fit the ambience of the game, I decided to go with a dark piano with a big reverb as the main instrument. Strings are introduced to create a soft carpet of sound. In the Mansion Theme I implemented a clock, to give it a more roomy vibe. It also contributes to the feeling that you get when you are in an old house with plenty of room. For the village I used flute and harp, instruments which are often used for (especially medieval) village themes. All the music is very slow, which gives it an eerie and grim vibe. The Overworld music is also made loopable.
