HeartOfTheStorm's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Miscellany]

Great work, my fave of your latest releases and the first song I've downloaded from here in a while.

sumguy720 responds:

Happy to know others are enjoying my stuff!

[Leave Alone]

amazing ambiance and soul

Kingbastard responds:

Thank you 🙏

[Highway]

0 stars for crediting Tom Fulp just to get attention.
Ignoring that, the song is still 0 stars. Be honest, did you just press random piano keys then slap a beat on it?

Irishtoner responds:

But I Removed it, Not Big Deal.

[flux]

Cool Ar Tonelico influence, I love the music from those games but haven't played them.

Troisnyx responds:

Same here, I was introduced to the games via the music. I'm still looking for secondhand discs...

[Little Lights In The Sky (WIP)]

This is new sounding and v good, not sure if I like the off-key sounding piano bits

Xorberax responds:

Thanks! I'm not digging the piano sample either.

[Stage01-A - "Give In"]

Really heavy, seems like it would be good for a particularly intense sequence.
I've thought about doing a space shooter recently since the programming is so simple, I need to finish my million other projects first though

Xorberax responds:

Definitely, go for it! Doing a 2D vertical space shooter similar to Galaga or Space Invaders for practice in HTML5 and Javascript.

[Amor Vincit Omnia]

Wow, very VERY well done! I love the lyrics, bells, flow, vibe, dynamic change, looping, whatev.
You said this was a battle theme for a bullet hell game? I remember the game Solace had a lot of slow songs, so this seems like it would fit right in.

Troisnyx responds:

Solace.... I must look that up. That's one BHS I'm not quite familiar with -- I know of Touhou and Jamestown. I was taking after the final battle theme of Kingdom Hearts II, which was a slow theme with nearly no percussion, and a lot of piano and minor chords.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for listening!

[Bataille Royale EXTEND]

Pan. Did you try this with headphones? It's a pain to have the song almost entirely in my left ear. Let me know if you fix it. The music is very nice though, loops well, has energy, and has great variety.

Troisnyx responds:

The entire song was done with headphones, yes, but I was following what I knew to be standard at the time: the piano was to be slightly off centre, to the left, as you would normally hear in an orchestra. Now that it's the main part, I'm assuming centre?

I won't be able to fix it until later this month because of headset troubles (I'm literally brought to a standstill with sequencing). And might I add, that's a bit uncharitable, taking away two whole stars for panning...
