Krichotomy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rainforest]

Nice work, K! This is a very fine, well produced piece. The melody is nice, the repeating note pattern is great. But I like the progression most of all. The slow build gets me right in the feels, and the dieoff progression doesn't bore me despite how long it is... it feels like a continuing, dynamic story, even after the climax.

I feel like the drum transition is overused during the second half of the piece, but it sounds great so I don't mind. :P

The melody line that starts at 03:05 sounds more up-front and dry than any of the other melodic instruments in the piece. That feels a little off to me.

LMMS-chan is proud of you, and I am too.

K-Pone responds:

Yeah, maybe I used the drum fill in a bit too much in the second half. Anyway, I did as a composer should do: You have to be satisfied with your own work, then it's great. Not everbody will feel the same about it, but you should like what you've done, and I do. I like you do too. Thanks for the review.

[Tales of Zale: Episode 1 OST]

It feels very light and warm. :)

[FD - 32 97]

I've had this looping for an hour now. It's very soothing.

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thank you, that's the beauty of loops :)

[Vos Postergum]

Ho... that's rather neat. The flowers on my shelf are wilting, though. I hope your game development goes well. What development tools will you be using? What platforms are you developing for? Will it be released on Newgrounds? What is the meaning of life?

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Hi, and thanks! I'm terribly sorry about your flowers D:
I hope the development goes well too.
As I can't code, I'll be using Stencyl.
If I get it made in time (before my Stencyl subscription ends), it will be developed in flash format, as well as for Windows Desktop (just for fun, not for commercial reasons).
It will certainly be released on Newgrounds. If I think the game is good enough once finished, I'll try to get it sponsored and uploaded to lots of other sites too. Time will tell.

As for the meaning of life, I wrote a 2857 words and 15658 characters long blog post about it here: http://lucidshadowdreamer.blogspot.fi/2013/11/the-meaning-of-life.html

(Your fault for asking about it >:D)

[Butts in Jeans]

Aw, you're making my butt blush. See, it's red now.

[FD - 87 97]

I'm floating somewhere in the aether. I am content to remain this way forever.

ForgottenDawn responds:

:) Lovely.

[Tracing the Garden of Sol - Intro]

I love the first two minutes. The rest of it is almost unpleasant to me.

Fubaka responds:

The full version of the song is in 'Our Legacy'. Perhaps you will feel differently once you've heard everything in context.

[Midnight Chase]

Wow, I love that percussion.

[(F) _Drowning in Sugar_]

Wow, this gets really unsettling. Drowning in sugar is more terrifying than I thought. I'm intrigued by how mellow the music is while being unsettling. It makes me think of an uncaring person just watching somebody else suffer.

I also turned my volume way up at the beginning because of the prolonged low volume.

This piece makes me want to invite you to listen to my track "Fleeting Forest Lights" if you haven't already.

Fubaka responds:

An interesting take on this song, to be sure.

Also, I did have a look at your track, and I thought it matched the art quite well. Still, I probably wouldn't have done it that way, but that is just how my musical tastes go.

["Without You" - Trance]

To me, this is somewhat exciting. LIke "being without you makes me want to dance." The guitar line does sound rather blue, though.

Favorite part: That effect that starts around 06:06.

XayberOptix responds:

Your review is motivating. Thank you.
