3 years SIGNALIS! Thank you from rose-engine

SIGNALIS was released 3 years ago today.

It still feels like a dream that people still play,
discuss and create fanart of our game today ✨

Thank you for your support throughout the years!

Blood Drive by FrontiersEnd Where blood is given, those who thirst will collect...

Just wrapped up a game for a 10 day game jam, the California clash. Had a lot of fun with the theme, ended up with a spooky game too for Halloween. Have a look here: frontiersend.itch.io/blood-drive

Safe Room Piano – Signalis (Recreation by Ear)
YouTube video by Carlos Chowell Safe Room Piano – Signalis (Recreation by Ear)

Recreated the piano in the Safe Room track in Signalis.

Great study of melancholic tension.

Spent the afternoon recreating the safe room music from Signalis.

But I couldn't make that buzzy pulsing synth underneath the wobbly piano!!

Also, be careful with the low end!

If we are to surive this intentional tragedy we must leave the save room and confront evil.

Found this comment on the long hour version of the save room in Resident Evil.

Who else has spent hours in the save room just to listen to the music?

The save room music comforts us at first, but it soaks us in melancholy.

How does the save room music offer safety but announce danger at the same time?

Metaphor ReFantazio - Wings of Freedom
One of the (many) vocal songs from this game with incredible singing! Thanks to @huskybythegeek.bsky.social for letting me use his arrangement to study this new vocal style and adapt it in my own way(s) 🀘

I harbour a desire to make an RPG one day - but it's mostly fuelled by my fondness for weird themed towns

How does a musical arrangement makes us feel dread and safety at the same time?
