@tyler52: Hahaha, the speedup theme uses the same structure with more electronic elements and less rock. It's sort of my nod to the whole Be Cool/Be Wild concept, so the casualty was that the Invincibility theme would have to be super fast as well.

This is the part where the player hits a badnik right as it wears off, right?

@katamariparadox: Tails' Theme. Also in that sonic unleashed assignment.

Sonic Before the Sequel

The second zone of Sonic Hysteria.  Prism Relic lies within the Special Dimension, but you're not coming here for Chaos Emeralds.  It houses the shrine of the Temporacle, a being who was sealed eons ago for taking control of all the technology of the dimension and using it for its own gain.

It's been a long time and I'm sure you're all asking "did this guy seriously die again?"

Nope, I'm not dead. In fact, we're more alive than ever on the development side of the game. Sonic Hysteria is shaping up great right now and we're all so excited to show you what we have going. However, it's going to be a long wait and music uploads are going to remain sparce. Originally, the direction of the game was "Mania sequel based on a fan-made OST", but now it's shifted to "Its own Sonic game that's gonna surprise you in unexpected ways," while of course still staying true to the OST.

Game development takes time. Polished, presentable & fun game development takes even more time and that's what we're going with. On that one day in the future when we finally drop a trailer/demo, it's gonna be well worth the wait and there isn't a single doubt in my mind that you're all gonna love it.

As for me, the game's OST is just about complete so I've shifted my focus to coding and spriting, which is why there haven't been uploads. It might get a bit quiet here for a bit, but we'll have a bomb to drop when it's ready.

First stage of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

I went with a Sonic CD vibe for this one, with emphasis on clouds and rain.

Rivulets - For Hilltop Heights Act 1

Check out the new version of the Remix!

A remix, with some aditional stuff and what I felt proper instrumentation & ending.

Sonic CD - [Past] Quartz Quadrant (REMIX)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7Z9whouusI

Act 2 of the first Zone of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

In many ways Rivulets (Hilltop Heights Act 1 music) is iconic of Before the Sequel as a whole - It's the first piece of music (other than the title screen) that people will hear, and it sets the mood of the game as 'something wildly different from the typical Sonic experience' (as opposed to starting with a Green ____ trope for example).

For Act 2, I decided to retain a lot of familiarity with Act 1's music. I think this should help that feeling of 'a new adventure' to fully sink in, while at the same time building up the intensity level.

p.s. This track has arguably the most recognizable Sonic music cameo so far out of all the stuff I've done for BTS. :V

Downpour - For Hilltop Heights Act 2

1) Okay, so I should stick at least reasonably close to the Sonic CD title screen formula
2) Going reasonably well
3) Added some horns
4) Suddenly Grandia
5) fffffffffffffffffffffffffff :(

Before the Sequel - Title Screen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92s47PQNw8Y

Act 3 of the first Zone of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

If Rivulets (Act 1 music) was characteristic of Before the Sequel as a whole, and Downpour (Act 2 music) built on it, this track would be a step towards building expectations for the OST in general. I wanted to, early on, expose players to the full range of genres that could be represented in the soundtrack and dissuade any preconceptions on what a 'retro'-style game had to sound like. Sonic CD was 1992 and its two OSTs fit so well with the game despite it being 224p 16-bit fare.

This was an interesting track to work with. I discovered halfway through working with Act 2's music that the rap I was working with actually mentioned "Rainbows" and "Prisms"- a fact that I didn't know when I was just using its chorus "Feel the Beat" section for Act 1. It worked alongside the orchestral-ish rendition perfectly for Act 3's lighter mood. Kinda funny how things turn out.. ;p Despite the rain being gone, I still get a very chilly vibe from the overall zone coloration (nevermind that it's really Hilltop Zone tiles in the foreground). Hopefully the music conveys that well.

I also threw in Green Hill again like I did with Act 2, except as a feature rather than a hidden easter egg. Musical quotes from Sonic music is going to be another staple for this OST, as it really is my homage to the franchise in general.
