Hey there Spacefarers! It's been a number of months since we've had to put Jumplight Odyssey's development on pause, but [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1893820/Jumplight_Odyssey/]as mentioned a couple weeks back[/url], we just couldn’t hold back all that delicious, smooth music that's been serenading you all on your starflung adventures. So today, I'm proud to announce... [h3]...we've just released the Jumplight Odyssey Original Game Soundtrack on Steam for FREE.[/h3] https://store.steampowered.com/app/2985180/Jumplight_Odyssey_Original_Game_Soundtrack/ [i]Other streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc) will follow in the coming weeks, as they have a longer lead time and we wanted this in your hands sooner rather than later.[/i] Our long-time collaborator, composer Michael Allen, breathed life into the most stunning soundscapes for Princess Euphora's adventures, and they deserve to be celebrated in their own right. So, Michael headed back to the studio booth and remastered and extended the in-game tracks especially for this OST. There are 27 tracks in total, including all your favourites and five new tracks that were only added to the game with the final update 0.3.1 - there are some really dreamy and moving pieces in there. Furthermore, we’ve produced and uploaded them in two formats, both mp3 and [b]24bit 48k lossless WAVs[/b]. [h3]Here's what Blake Mizzi, co-founder of League of Geeks and Jumplight Odyssey's game director, had to say about the soundtracks... [/h3] [i]Jumplight Odyssey’s “retro 1970’s futurist anime universe” gave us a chance to really flex our creative muscle, musically. We experimented with an entirely new genre of music - for us! - and had soooooo much fun on this creative journey. We know you can literally hear the joy we had making it come through the music. However the themes and the content in Jumplight Odyssey are often dark, melancholic, and actually very tragic - it's a sad story! We had to repeatedly remind ourselves to make it darker, make it sadder, take it down and that duality has created, what we believe, is a beautifully umami OST. It's happy, sad, salty, bitter, sour and sweet. I really believe you can hear those flavours in the tracks. We would sometimes jest that the OST is pulled directly out of a midnight Tokyo disco 1970’s jazz blues bar. When we set out to create Jumplight Odyssey the game, we knew the music needed to be special and that it was going to carry a lot of emotional weight. The music was never an afterthought for us, we knew it was going to set the emotional stage for the events that would unfold as you commanded your crew and starship through a dangerous galaxy. The music therefore in Jumplight Odyssey is generally organised into track lists arranged by emotional weight, from full sadness with generous heavy despair, to hopeful optimism in the face of loss. As the player does well or suffers loss on their adventure, the game’s music blends between these tracks to make sure the mood of the game always matches the events unfolding on screen. In the same way when battle or danger appears, the music responds in kind; When the player sets the ship’s condition to Yellow Alert or otherwise, the music responds in kind, to match that change of intensity and tempo. We also use music in-game to add weight to loss and consequence, you’ll see that in our end game interstitials. We hope when you listen to these tracks, your mind’s eye can imagine what might be happening to your crew and your starship at that very moment. I hope this OST can take you on many romantic intergalactic voyages, full of tragedy, happiness, love, loss and hopefulness.
