Intro Pandah

Submission of the OST Composition Jam #7.



The type of the Game:

It is a 2D atmospheric platformer (inspiration: GRIS).



Synopsis:

An amnesic little girl, wanting to discover more about her and her origins, begins a journey through a colorful world full of bubbles.



Tracks:

In the Middle of Bubbles
This is the beginning of the journey through this strange world filled with floating and illuminated bubbles . They sound like carillons and seem to lead the little girl through her progression.
Where no Bubble dares to dwell
The little girl lost herself in this damp and dark place where neither light nor bubble are there.  She encounters a strange man that shows her the way out.
Interlude
Origins
The little girl feels that the end of the journey is near and that she will soon find answers to all her questions. The bubbles are all around her, guiding her toward a human shape in the horizon.

Huge thanks to @kawaakar._ for the artwork!

Kagegona - Where No Bubble Dares To Dwell

In a universe where every human is granted their own world, a child María is tasked with quest of stopping a man named Midas from taking over every single one of them.

"Even in a world where everyone gets what they want, greed will still prevail."

LUCA - 903 - Midas

Two Worlds

Amidst

The Earth Can't Hold Me

Stuck in Time

Delve Within The Soul - Lucid

In the fantastic world of Blisster, souls (or people) grow as bubbles... yeah !

Every single form of life came to existence as a bubble, and they all wander in the Big Bubble Universe - the Blisster.

The magic part is that these souls actually exist inside and outside of their bubble. They see the world in different perspectives on each side and sometimes meet deep.


The game will take you on a journey which questions how we perceive others.


The concept is that it will be playable a first time throught the inside world. Then a second playthrough would be the same experiences but on the outside world.
As, outside of your bubble, outside of yourself...

Song description :

In this fictive game you'll embody Saul.

 
1 - He'll be exctracted from the Mother Bubble, the Origin, inside his own world, his "bubble"...
It's "fiesta creation!" a lot is going on here to show the innocence and joy of a begining.

2 - Then he will be exploring his thoughts, his feelings, his world.
I tried to evoke a walking/wandering feeling for this one...

3 - This one is ambiguaous. It could be the separation of one self, identity wise i guess, or the rising awareness about the others existing around you.
So I went mixing/clashing several ideas I had to convey this.

4 - This is finding peace, far from Mother Bubble, in your world, and with others :)
Yeah chill piano, couldn't finish this one :'(



PS : The songs/chapters have two potential names depending on the perspective of the game. You're free to interpret !

Enjoy.

Premises
I love this image of the little girl holding a womanly figure hand in a see of bubbles and draw fish and algae.

As I was reading the jam submission guidelines, I saw that the overall submission should be at least 3 minute long with at least 1 song, but can also be broken apart in multiple songs.

I can already imagine key shots for a short film scenario or a FMV/Intro, but because this is for an OST for a game, I'm thinking more what kind of game it is (details later).

This is also a good opportunity to learn to do somewhat of a "spotting" session in a way as I don't have much experience in that, but also a good opportunity to create my first composition ever with a strong theme.

I also want to strongly tie in the OST to the image and text as they are really evocative for me!



Impermanence
Examining the picture, we can see a little girl in a yukata smiling while holding the hand of what seems like a maternal figure (mom, grandma?), so immediately the theme in Japan (a country I would love to visit for its cultural richness and vistas).

I had some thoughts about the text theme "inside my world", and thought that maybe the bubble-shaped lady could be in the imaginative and boundless world of creativity of this kid.

But even if there is a lot of happiness with the girl smiling from ear to ear and the cute, drawn fish, bubbles, and algae, to me it's still reads as something quite tragic.

Bubbles are by essence, one of the flimsiest physical events that I can think of.

When formed they can seemingly pop randomly and almost immediately, and in the mind of a child, they just cease to exist.

They are the beautiful, but ephemeral, the physical manifestation of impermanence.

In a way, they are a good image for life itself, a fragile and provisional state of existence that we are all bound to.

This picture paints, for me, the beautiful imaginative world of a little girl who is, in a way, connecting one last time with a recently deceased mother/grandmother.



Tsuya
A Japanese wake is called tsuya which means "passing the night".

I think having this be the starting event of this story would fit well both themes.

Saddened by the loss of her mother, the little girl tries to paint a colorful world with her mother on it but as she falls asleep, she gets transported into this dreamy world of her drawings, but now tainted by darkness.

But her mother (bubble lady) will show her the way to save her world, give her the strength to face her new life without her, and for one last time, show just how much she loved her.
