Whoops! Looks like you got in a bit over-your-head! Luckily for you, this is just a game, and our hero is meant to win, so you can try again if you want : D

* You are meant to get your first "game over" at this point in the game if you really haven't been putting much effort into things : )

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - Game Over

Wow! You almost forgot that Dr. Nuetrino equipped you with a phone in case she had any important information for you along the way! You receive your first call from the doc along the Fallen Leaf Trail and just in time, too!

Up until this point, you are walking around everywhere trying to find any sort of hint as to where the elusive Magic Mirror is. The Doc supplies you with an invaluable hint that it is somewhere deep within the Silhouette Woods!

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - Dr. Nuetrino (Ringtone)

The theme you will hear when you are up against a challenging opponent... These fights show up earlier in the game but are also later in the game, usually a gimmicky, trick fight where you are forced to use certain tactics or exploit some sort of weakness.

* This tune was not going to be used in the original game.

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - Mid-Level Boss Theme

After making quick work of the Copycat gang, it's time you face their leader, Copycat... A deranged street cat that has been tainted and afflicted.

At the very back of the alley you find him, waiting for you, ready to pounce. He first gives you an intimidating, other-worldly stare, and then throws off his coat.

*This tune plays as a part of an "initiating conflict" tune, where enemies in the game (usually more substantial ones) have an introduction and usually say a few lines of dialogue.

There were meant to be quite a few of these tunes but, again, I only got about half way into writing music for the game in which this stuff was originally intended for : /

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - Preparation for Battle (Copycat)

You are discovered by the very territorial Copycat Gang! Time to fight your way through hordes of alley and sewer cats that really know their way around the streets! The only way to get to Copycat is to go through his gang, to prove you are worthy to face their leader!

* This is another "initiating conflict" tune that is meant to accompany dialog that is played out during your encounter and before fights with this gang. I think though, for the sake of the "Upside Mt." story, this would be an actual battle song : )

You'd start out by approaching one of the cats, exchange a few provocative words, and then the music would keep playing as the screen shifts into battle mode : )

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - The Copycat Gang

With every option exhausted in town and on the well-trodden paths, our hero ventures outside of town, coming across a well-guarded entrance that seems important.

Engaging the guard Felco, our hero learns that the realm of Dogs Barkland is in turmoil, and is in need of some 3rd party intervention....

After convincing the guard that we mean well and are out to discover why things are out-of-balance, he allows us access to Barkland to receive an audience... under one condition... that our hero be accompanied by Felco. This is the only way to gain the trust of the guards at the town gate (this is the ONLY time in the game you get an extra party member who also fights with you in battle... kind-of like a novelty : )

*This tune is a stripped-down version of the first town in the game, Dreyson City, soon-to-be uploaded : D

** Also, Felco is the name given to my very first dog when I was a kid... no, it is NOT a variation on the popular character from Starfox :  )

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - Outskirts (Felco's Initiation)

This is my random battle theme for my imaginary rpg, Adventures Atop Upside Mountain...

Not unlike my favorite vgm ost of all time, Final Fantasy 7, you will probably hear this tune more than any other song in the game, so, it was pretty important to be fun and catchy : )

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - Random Battle Theme

Scattered all throughout the world of Upside Mountain you'll find local shops owned by Jalapeno Loco, a Mexican food chain that specializes in making you relax. Most of the restaurants also have a swimming pool and spa behind it where you and your family are welcome to cool off after all of the exciting, spicy food : )

If you are unable to find a town near you, Jalapeno Loco also sends out portable food carts, giving weary travelers a restful respite, usually a revitalizing snack.

The first Jalapeno Loco you'll find is located in the town of Dreyson City, the first town in the game.

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - Jalapeño Loco

Standard "get" item tune = )

* Two very similar versions were made in order to gauge what my commissioner wanted : )

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - Item Fanfare

You are summoned to the town of Dreyson but haven't a clue as to what to do or why you are there... After wandering around aimlessly for quite a while, you are exhausted and decide to stay at the local Inn.

Struggling to catch some sleep, you wake up in the middle of the night and decide to go out for some fresh air and to clear your head. You step outside the inn and notice a very strange, out-of-place person standing near a lamp post.

You decide to approach and engage this person. Turns out they know EVERYTHING! They not only tell you that you need to see Dr. Neutrino on the other side of town, but they also have some tips for optimizing game-play!

(Before this cut-scene, you are able to go near Dr. Neutrino's Lab but the door is locked until you talk to the shady stranger.)

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - The City at Night

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - Registry

Welcome to my imaginary RPG, Adventures Atop Upside Mountain!

Starting up the game, you will be treated to a bit of a back story. Our hero, the doppelganger, had just reached the bottom of the legendary Infinite Well with his gaggle of friends. Upon reaching the Well, our hero is revitalized and deposits it's knowledge of the years events into it through a magical rite.

Coming out of the Well, our hero suddenly hears this voice calling out, "Help!" Looking around, he notices no sign of trouble and his friends are unaware of this call as well. The voice calls out again but this time it is louder, "HELP!" The doppelganger looks around again and suddenly disappears, teleported  to another side of the galaxy!

Adventures Atop Upside Mt. - Opening & Title Screen

end of summer tune... made using a combination of esx sounds and programming as well as my dave smith evolver. Not too sure what the future holds... I've been itching to explore more of my evolver so i guess y'all can expect more of this sort of thing i suppose : )

Hushed on the Silent Plain

Experimental thing I gave a little bit of thought to earlier this past fall. More farting around with my Dave Smith Evolver : D

Shaded by the Statue of the Sun

Funky lil' tune from earlier this past Fall : )

I plan on finishing up my fun with NES-style sounds to round out the year and then of course X-mas and New Years will be coming up.

Future project: I am working on some collabs at the moment and first quarter of next year or sometime during Spring 2019 ya'll can look forward to a pop album full of a bunch of short tunes from yours truly : )

What's in the Box?

2A03 - Kitty's Waltz

The first exploits I did towards the "SOULBOT" project for the year 2009. Trying to get lost in the hazy atmosphere : )

Fun note: Both the "ARCADE" & "SOULBOT" projects were initiated in 2008. I am planning to release a fully realized version of both of these projects on my Bandcamp (which is not yet created btw).

SOULBOT = SOULSEARCHING : )

090125 00 - (SOULBOT) Nudebot

I've always loved the idea of "save rooms" in games and them having their own "theme." My favorite rooms were from Super Metroid (which also happens to be my favorite game of all time btw). This is probably where I got the inspiration to draw what I did.

Music was made and then titled... I don't think I really intended this to be for a "save room" but I guess that's how I was feeling then and I guess I can hear that : )

*Fun Note: All or most of the songs from 2009 were titled in 2009 : )

090408 00 - (ARCADE) Dataroom

Heyya SC, long time no see!

I've got a few things in the works for everyone but it is taking a bit of time. Here is a track I made WWWAAAaaayyyy back in 2008 but never finished until now... Just a little taste of the main course that is my Bandcamp : ) : ) : )

Volcano Island

Ловзар Суперзвезда

1-hour compo made using my new online programmer https://onlinesequencer.net/1168193 

I added the singing to this today and thought it was just ok

enjoy

Feather Duster

Funky lil' tune I whipped together this weekend using my custom-made Super Mario World instruments as well as some in-house sounds. Trying to get ya'll excited for my upcoming mini-album which i plan on releasing before the end of August.

Clumsy Coconut

ACid JAzZerCiSe

Another tune meant to be longer... There will be a version exclusive to Bandcamp with some lyrics (another benefit of being a member there).

CuBAn PlAntAtioN

ClaYmAted MaRtiNi

Intro tune... Had a more elaborate version but did not have the time nor the energy to finish so ya'll get the abbreviated one.

FAt BuStEr 5000 (Dj GuT ReTUrns)

Cover of one of my favorite themes from this game. I originally wanted to put this on my mini album but didn't have time to finish...

Sorry if this sounds like a hack job 'cause it is.

Here is the source : )

Mystic Quest - City of Forest (WFD shady mix)

Random thing I threw together yesterday... Sorry about all of the Chrono Trigger references btw... been hooked on watching 4-8 Live's playthrough : p Also, sorry if my drawing of Marle sucks, I tried : s

Poyozo Dance

Happy Halloween soundcloud! I am celebrating this year by changing my image : ) I know I've said in the past that I'd be releasing an album every Halloween but I am just too busy... 

Here is an original tune I made for the conniving Doppelganger robot from Mega Man 3... he also scared the crap out of me when I was young : 0

Enjoy! : )

Doc Robot K-176

Unwanted Guest

Random improvisation I did a couple of weeks ago

Saturnalia

Hey everyone, just want to give ya'll some updates on what's in store... this is going to be a big month... Obviously I am trying to work out an annual X-mas tune for ya'll...

idk if ya'll have noticed but this year is actually my 20th anniversary for being a creator of music... this month is going to be all about that, celebrating and what have you... so, starting next week I am going to be uploading 1 song from each year, starting with 1999 and going all the way up to this year (culminating with a new tune : )

so yeah... next year is going to be very different... I will have more info towards the end of the month... cheers and make merry! : p

Stocking Full o' Coal

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
ring ting tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling
Yoo-hoo!
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy up giddy up giddy up go!
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
ring ting tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling
Yoo-hoo!
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy up giddy up giddy it's grand
Just holdin' yer hand
We're riding in a winter fairyland

* Here  is my obligatory Christmas cover for the year... When i started working on this song i had no idea it was going to turn into a christmas tune, but, just so happens it seems to have worked out (go figure!). I hope everyone has some warm, Christmas memories this year, Cheers!

Sleigh Ride

greetings my Soundcloud friends and Happy New Year!

I'm going to get strait to the point. I Love all of you... I am excited, proud, and humble to be apart of this community and to have all of your support. I hope it continues forever!

With that said, it is unfortunate that I have to terminate my subscription. I am no longer going to be paying this corporation to post my music. There are quite a few alternatives out there that are free so I will be exploring those options.

I am not struggling for money and I've given up trying to make money from my music. It's sad that I have to even talk about money but that is what the world is fueled by... It's sad that my old songs and all the original artwork will be hidden. I feel, however, that this decision makes sense. I am NOT 
 going to delete my account and don't plan on ever doing that. But, until I receive any sort of income based from my musical efforts, I don't see much sense in paying for this...

I DON'T want to burden anyone with my messy personal life. I am actually not even asking for anything. I just wanted to be honest and inform ya'll of whats going on and how i feel.

What does all of this mean and what does the future hold?

Well, I HAVE started an all-new FREE account which you can find and follow me here: https://soundcloud.com/user-213213048 (everything i post here, however, I WILL be reposting here)

The music I upload there will be in a limited capacity... it is mainly going to be used to keep in-touch with ya'll... in other words, I am still going to be musically active but it won't be exclusively here nor will it be nearly as much as it has been. Again, it's mainly going to be used to stay in touch.

Where can you find ALL of my music including future endeavors? At my bandcamp of course, HERE: https://hunterciske.bandcamp.com/

You'll not only find everything I've ever done and will do, but you can also support yours truly (by buying an album and telling your friends to do the same!) Any income i receive there will go right back into my fans... If I DO happen to get enough filthy lucre, you can bet it'll go back into a soundcloud subscription : )

I plan on developing a stronger Youtube presence as well as organizing a possible live act this next year! Maybe I'll even do a little traveling if I feel confident enough!

Anywho, I love ya'll and always will and I hope to see you in the future!

Peace!
