Had fun (and some headache because of pixel limitation) drawing them. Can’t wait to make expressions out of them! 😀

// Commentary Corner: 

Between the new flashy logo, the new scenery stylings, this portrait art layout, and the existence of the Battlesphere, I think it’s relatively safe to assume that the fighting-game stylings are there by design. There’s room for it to occur between all of the platforming action of the game’s main story, too. Just check out this quote:

“Do you want to witness Avalice’s greatest fighters duke it out in the comfort of your living room? Look no further than the Battlesphere in glorious downtown Shang Mu!”

I wonder if we’ll be getting netplay?

Hey ya’ll! So, Galaxy Trail is releasing a bit of FP2 info today, and part of that is taking a look at the progression of the music. The alpha soundtrack was very early development, and much of it has been scrapped. Here’s a look at the themes of the three main girls, and how they’re coming along. Probably pretty easy to guess which is which 😀 Each girl’s theme is a reprise of a stage from the first game!
Don’t forget, I have an album on sale right now, too! Check it out! 😀 leilawilson.bandcamp.com/album/roadtrips-2016

A few of the character themes in Freedom Planet 2 serve as a callback to FP1’s soundtrack. Here’s a taste!

COMMENTARY CORNER:

“The alpha soundtrack was very early development, and much of it has been scrapped.” That’s a little disappointing given how much we’ve listened to it on Avalice Radio in the Discord server, but since the alpha tracks are still publically available on Soundcloud, I suppose that’s just as well.

Glad to hear these takes on these themes, in any case!

For comparison here are some timestamps and relevant links:
Pangu Lagoon @ 0:00 – 0:48
+ Round 1: (English) https://galaxytrail.bandcamp.com/track/pangu-lagoon-1-english
+ Round 1: (Japanese) https://galaxytrail.bandcamp.com/track/pangu-lagoon-1-japanese
This one sounds the most similar to its previous version to me. I dig the bass going on, and the higher strings feel a bit classy. Of the three themes in this preview, this has the most evident synth portions.

Jade Creek @ – 0:49 – 1:36
+ Round 2: https://galaxytrail.bandcamp.com/track/up-the-sub-jade-creek-2
A fascinating take on the JC2 motifs. The rhythms between the lead melody and the percussion track makes it feel a touch technical. Generally, it brings some of the same feel of the Trap Hideout theme too. Neat. I could imagine listening to this while exercising.

Relic Maze @ 1:37  – 2:27
(particularlly noticible at 2:01)
+ Round 1: https://galaxytrail.bandcamp.com/track/relic-maze-1
+ Round 2: https://galaxytrail.bandcamp.com/track/relic-maze-2

I like how it retains the sort of ‘shimmering’ quality between the three themes, though the bulk of start of this new theme feels unfamiliar to me. Kinda jazzy though, and that’s fun. Seems like the type of music to have playing during a long relaxing bath.
