Video Game Themes. What can I say about Video Game Themes that I didn't say last week? Hmm...emotions? Video game themes are capable of invoking many emotions within people, although that's kind of an obvious fact now. Hmm...a neat thing about Video game themes is the fact that multiple emotions can spawn from a single track. Sometimes battle and boss battle themes can start off all intense and dark, but then the chorus could be something melodic to help give the player some much needed motivation. If it wasn't clear already, I love video game themes. Especially in genres like JRPGs. So much so that I've written quite a few myself. Which brought me (and some of you) to a single question. At this point, could I make a video game-style theme without hearing it? And...within 30 minutes? Find out today in "Attempting to Make a Video Game Theme Without Hearing It in 30 Minutes". I hope you enjoy!
