Yooo! 2 Mello here, composer of the Cerebrawl soundtrack and the sound designer. Just wanted to pop in and say I read this damn thread every time I'm feeling down on myself. So glad everyone's loving the soundtrack!
My main influences are the music of the Jet Set Radio series, Street Fighter 3: Third Strike's more chilled-out bits, and the beautifully quirky classic Katamari Damacy. Man, I'd love to get hired for a game like Katamari. But how many of those are there? Other favorite soundtracks include Silent Hill 2 and Chrono Trigger.
Mainly just want to thank everyone and not plug too much, but if you're interested in getting a new prototype of the game every two weeks, trying to break it for us and have a little fun with it, we're
taking donations over at the site to help get us along as we prepare to pursue funding (no crowdfunding). We are all dedicated enough at this moment in time that we are willing to make the game as slowly as we need to, in whatever time we have outside other work, even if funding doesn't come at all.
The support now may not necessarily guarantee you get a copy at release, it's more for people who wanna be part of this process and help us rip up the game and learn our flaws. We do a weekly podcast for donors, and two good Twitch streams a week for everyone, usually art-related. It's starting to feel like a real video game.
Thanks again for all the words! Eliot, our artist, also really loves it when people critique his designs! He's enjoying how divisive our character Helen has been, here and everywhere.
