  • It’s only been “irrelevant” because of the poor reception to Sims 4. The Sims was the first great “life sim” game, and the 3rd installment added a crazy amount of content. That’s all we wanted. More stuff to decorate with and places for our Sims to explore. Nah, Sims 4 took away the variety and added paywalls and multiplayer and was just generally a poor experience.

    For anyone holding out hope for #5, this is on par with Blizzard announcing their smartphone diablo game. EA killed this franchise, and yeah I’m a little sad about it.

















  • I listened to the first 4 tracks, and skipped around the rest to get an idea of the content. Lots of good stuff!

    • Great job mimicking the tone of Hades’ music. It has a fantastic OST. Korb also wrote Bastion’s OST, which is worth a listen, too.
    • In your soundtrack, I think there needs to be more balance between the “wall of sound” harmonies vs. lyrical melodies. IMO, the best game soundtracks are the ones you come away from humming a theme, and I struggled to find one here.

    I think “Through Asphodel” is a good example - melody kicks in about 2 minutes in. From what I heard (which wasn’t everything, admittedly), you have the background metal sound figured out, but I think you’re missing that soaring melody in some of these.

    Just my two cents!
