Video Game Themes. I have pretty much said enough about Video Game Themes throughout this year with these new attempt videos. Video game themes are fun to make and fun to learn from. These attempts are not my main method of learning, but it is a fun way to test the experience I've accumulated over the years. I'd like to move into new territories with these attempt videos very soon, but with that being said, I'm extremely happy with how this one came out (mainly the redone version). This originally started as a joke on stream, but then I kept adding 30 second increments and...here's the result. This is "Attempting to Make a Video Game Theme in 30 Second Increments". I hope you enjoy!

![Song That Plays When the Fire Level Is Hot....but So Are You
This is a new expirimental one, and one of my new favorites! Salsa mixed with metal. It was a song made for the game Another Dungeon Game, and Im so happy with how things turned out. I hope you enjoy this spicy theme!

This one is a bit different. The song itself is based on a scenario from my video game idea (which plenty of my original songs are from), but its ALSO a song based on all of you. Youve changed my life in so many ways, both on and off the internet. I cant thank you enough for believing in me, supporting me, being so kind and funny, etc. Thank you for helping remind me why Im here. Maybe I was cut out for this whole thing after all. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for 300,000 subscribers. This is Song That Plays When the Main Character Discovers the Power of Friendship. but its also ust a little (new favorite) song of mine called Keep Going. Simple, isnt it? (:

![Field of Hopes and Dreams (Rock Cover) - Deltarune || Shady Cicada
I had to. Cmon. Dont look at me like that. Unless you really want to I guess. As soon as I saw the link to Deltarune, I downloaded it and played in immediately. All that excitement and emotion from 3 years ago came right back. Undertale was a genuinely fun game and the story, soundtrack, lore, and (especially) the music were all fantastic. I have a huge soft spot for Toby Foxs tracks and it really has influenced and motivated me to continue doing what I do. Deltarune does the same. And by taking apart this track (Field of Hopes and Dreams is amazing btw), I feel like I was able to learn a little more in terms of technique for my ownn work. Cant wait to see where this all goes. Here is my Rock Cover of Field of Hopes and Dreams from Toby Foxs Deltarune! I hope you enjoy!
