Originally composed for the project "Slime Jammers" as part of the GBJam 9.

Unfortunately, a minimum playable prototype wasn't finished in time so it was never submitted for the game jam but I decided that I'd release the tracks anyway so things don't go to waste!

Slime Jammers was going to be a racing game made in Unity in a similar vein to that of the "Top Ride" mode in Kirby Air Ride for the Nintendo GameCube.

First time that I've tried to make music for a racing/party game but I thought it turned out well, if not a bit eclectic and "out there" - what I was going for though!

Composed with love using FamiTracker and utilising the FDS expansion chip for that beefy bass.

Thanks to the rest of the team for giving things a go anyway!

I used three N163 channels for the "guitar" sound, then ran them through an amp simulator in my DAW, so no, this isn't purely FamiTracker, but I made the song fully in FamiTracker before adding the stereo effects. I hope you enjoy it.

Arcadia X - Highway To Arcadia

LYRICS:
below the ocean
there's a deep burning fire
beneath the ebb and flow
a core that is breathing
will we ever stop
and wonder what's beneath the surface
will we even reach
will we even reach the furnace
below the ocean sky
