Name: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero - Twilight Exploration (Livestream rough draft) by virtjk in awesome stuff
Duration: 1 min 55 s
Description: This is one of two in-game tracks I wrote from scratch over the course of a few hours while viewers watched live on Twitch.tv, to help promote WayForward's Kickstarter campaign for our new game, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. It will be substantially reworked for the final game, but I've put it here for posterity.

I was looking everywhere for this song. I really like it

This part here... I just love that transition.

I just love the mix & feel of both Risky’s Revenge & Pirate’s Curse in this song 👌🏼

Lots of talking going on in the Direct, so this was a bit difficult to do. This should be fairly close.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons - The Archipelago (Arrangement)

Vanguard Valkyrie is a 3D virtual reality space-shooter game being developed by Zero Transform, a newly formed independent studio focused on using the latest VR technology to make games that are innovative, beautiful, and truly immersive. 

I'm proud to be working again with my friend Justin Moravetz, having previously contributed to his amazing VR debut, Proton Pulse. I will be handling the soundtrack and sound design for Vanguard Valkyrie alongside the incredible guitarist and chiptune composer, Dan "Danimal Cannon" Behrens. It's going to be a wild ride.

The title theme features the vocal talents of Jessie Seely and the recording / engineering talents of Robert Altschuler at Command Studios in Valencia, CA.

LYRICS:
Der verschmitzte Schöpfer wohnt
in einer Höhle all seine Tage,
Sichtbar für Jeden auf Felsbildern.
Er ist bekannt als der Mann des Irrgartens .

MAZE OF GAMES: The Second Path - Nomad

The background music from the first stage of Vanguard V, an incredible VR space-shooter in development by Zero Transform, for Oculus Rift and other fine head-mounted 3D display systems. 

Since the stages are linear and follow a set timeline, I know ahead of time where all the dramatic hits will be, and can score each stage as one would score a film, allowing for extreme dynamic range. 

This is, obviously, an unusual way to score a game, and it's an AWESOME treat.

Get Out

Can you feel the thrill and excitement as you start?
And at this speed no one is able to break us apart.
Press the accelerator and don't look back.
I know you got this in the bag.
No one else can claim the first place on my racing heart.
