i took a stock image of the catacombs of paris, traced it; then traced a dude holding onto a wall  the thumbnail is very rough but hopefuly you understand whats going on here

soundtrack

i ran out of motivation to work on this for a pretty long time and just focussed on making music on my personal account
about what i said about keeping a limit to songs? yeah no i do not want to do that. the songs used up to this point are orginial yes, but i was a beginneer when i made them and they lowkey sound pretty bad
so i am going to remake them
they'll stay on the account but only as extra/in a seperate playlist
think of this as a soft-reboot

i'm going to work on this again

* Can passion truly exist for one like me?
* Will I be forced into bounty hunting for the rest of my life?
* My prison of my own making, without a key.

and here we are beginning anew
i am very-VERY lucky to have found the Brandish Midi Collection so I will be using it to the full effect here for the reboot tracks!
this is a remix of the GM-08 version of Brandish's Prison. I felt it fitted a once upon a time replacement well
also i traced a pic of a guy slumped over drinking

similar to how start menu is just a remix of ouat i took most of the song out except for the jazz and the (possible) accordian bit. expect this to be built on as we move through areas/arcs. also a simple doodle of varik upfront as a close-up and to give the menu a bit more life

the thumbnail can be interrupted in 3 (main) ways
1. Varik looking at the starlight
2. You looking down at Varik himself
3. Just a very pretty sky tonight

?? - Connection

"[ * Varik has found himself inside a catacombs. Similar to the one's in paris. This area consisits of many skeletal remains, and crows savaging the remains on sound remains. Though, there are strange crow-like symbols and litter these catacombs. Be on edge,  these skeletons had persons with unsolved regrets and rage; prone to being revived. The minds of the crows are not nearly strong enough to resist remote control either.] [ * Traps litter the area aswell, strangely new as apposed to the rest of the catacombs. You are not alone here.]"

04- Catacombs

The general encounter theme.
"[ * To operate this menu, use numbers 1-4 to choose a party member, then select between 5 sub-menus: Attack, Confer, Spell, Bag, and settle.]
[ * Attacking costs no resource and require a simple minigame. The better at the minigame, the more damage.] 
Confer lets you interact with your enemies; letting you butter them up into peaceful resoulutions; debuff them; or learn of thier current stats. 
[ * Spell allows you use MP (or other resources) to cast powerful effects. You can slightlyregain MP by just barely avoiding attacks. Using MP refilling items is more effective.]
[ * Bag lets you acess your inventory during battle. Letting you heal, buff, debuff, and restore MP.]
[ * Settle is can be used for peaceful resoulutions for combat. Many enemies would rather not risk themself dying or even fighting in the first place when be. Settling enemies is usually easier; though you will not EXP. The amount you use this menu will be critical to determining your ending however.]"

so funny thing is that i found out most heartbeat sfx is just a drumset with the fillter peak at max and filter cut at zero and when i found that out it really made this alot better
no remixes or covers this time, i went for an original mix here
for reference btw the cutscene only plays on your first death in the reset (can be reviewed by resetting or going into the extra menu and viewing the cutscene again)
but the theme will just skip into the main part of the song after and the cutscene skipped
if you beat the game deathless a special cutscene will happen but it's a bit too far ahead to talk about right now
