Thanks a lot for the recommendations! Lots of interesting things here, and I’ll be diving in very soon.
Mohamed Shawky goes by ‘chusss’ on YouTube. here’s one I like: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h-x0x41dsfM
Yeah, I’ve heard of Nightwish. Not my favorite, but last time I went looking I was trying to find pieces closer to Epica’s Omega album… and not even Epica’s older work was what I was looking for…
I do like symphonic metal, and that’s a great song… it gave me goosebumps. I’ll be sure to check out more of Blind Guardian’s work. Any other suggestions are welcome! Maybe stuff similar to Epica’s Omega album, and instrumental pieces similar to Essence of Datum, Mohamed Shawky, Rivers of Nihil, & Naxatras, if you’ve got the time :D
The Ys series OSTs, especially the PSP titles. Nice mix of metal and violin.
Hollow Night. The City of Tears track in particular.
Any covers made by Orchestral Fantasy on YouTube. He focuses mainly on classic 16-bit titles and pretty much nails each one.
Thank you, I’ll check that out in greater detail later.
That’s okay. I’ll look in developer options, and in the meantime just be less inaccurate with my swipes ;)
Definitely this. It seems MVs with a leveling system either aren’t popular, or are too hard to balance. Plus there’s the giant inventory of weapons and gear that would probably be too time-consuming to create for most game devs.
