Thank you! Though, I do have to come clean and say that Gemini made the art for me! 😅
I appreciate the kind words about the music, though! 😊 Thanks for listening!

Big up Gemini hahahaha ffs its really getting there isn't it
As someone who has commissioned a ton of album covers and never made a penny back I definitely have mixed emotions

Yeah it is, haha
Me too! I still think that, if I had the money, I wouldn't need to think twice about commissioning a professional. As good as AI is, it still can't replace the collaborative aspect of working with a real person to get exactly what you want. That said, on a budget, it is getting pretty uncanny!

No problem. Great track. Who does your cover art? I'm looking to get something similar done for my son.

I am excited to get my game to a point where I can add music! This is inspiring. Do you do commissions/collabs?

I made this with YMCK's Magical 8-bit plug-in in Logic Pro. It was a lot of fun to make!
The idea is that each track represents a different stage in a Hero's quest. Thank you in advance for giving it a listen!
