this is wild! I used to teach music in school and we did that same rhythm pattern to get kids' attention.

Day 1 of April 2021's "7 Days of VGM" challenge
Theme: Kids' Games
Prompt: Title Screen

Title Screen

Day 2 - Character Customization

@VGMAcademy #7DaysOfVGM

A character select screen. I have a motif that I want to be recurring: 5-1, 5-2. I finished this before day 1 - oops! Theme is kid music!

The New Kid (2021 April #7DaysOfVGM Day 2)

@VGMAcademy #7DaysOfVGM

I would like to flesh this out with more instrumentation and a B section at least, but I also am on a strict timeline!! This is a Title Track for a kids game!

First Adventure (Unfinished) (2021 April #7DaysOfVGM Day 1)

@VGMAcademy #7DaysOfVGM

It's another one I'd like to flesh out eventually. I like the clashing #4/5 notes, and the wholetone scale to add some chaotic energy ;)

Lunch Time!! (What Time is it Mr. Wolf?) (2021 April #7DaysOfVGM Day 3)

@VGMAcademy #7DaysOfVGM

Sometimes in elementary school they have a bell or something that will capture everyone's attention and let them know it's time to settle down, it's like a Pavlovian response. I also wanted to use this singing bowl I had, so I pitched the song around it! (see if you can guess the wind instruments)

Carpet Time (2021 April #7DaysOfVGM Day 4)

Brain Buster (2021 April #7DaysOfVGM Day 5)

@VGMAcademy #7DaysOfVGM

Same as the previous track, but the emphasis is on the transitionary 2 bar phrase that takes us up a couple dozen BPM and a semitone... no pressure :D

Brain Buster (Time Running Out) (2021 April #7DaysOfVGM Day 6)

@VGMAcademy #7DaysOfVGM

The final challenge. I'm proud of my creative process on this one so I'll share it:

A leader is clapping a rhythm for a group of youngsters to repeat (perhaps a minigame?) Eventually, that ONE kid - you know the one - decides to slam down on the piano. This instrument is for teacher ONLY. Is this kid bored of doing rhythms? Is this chaos a means of "saving face" because the rhythms are too hard? Who knows... but now the group has to try to coax him back to join them!
