It is complete, at last!
After weeks of working on this track + animation, and several render attempts, I finally consider this animation to be complete.
Megalopolis, The next installment in the Welkin universe.
With full animation and pixel art by yours truly. Took me forever to finish, but I'm really happy with how it turned out :D

Now, I know this is the first time there has been any orchestral instruments in this series, but the vibe still makes sense to me, even though I tried many different variants, this is what captured the vibe I was going for the most. This is the title theme for welkin, so the melodies are very similar to the theme, as a lot of the tracks are. (But don't worry, you will hear more tracks in the universe that does not borrow from the theme soon enough!)

The youtube version is probably going to have about -4 DB capped of the top of the track, but the way it was mixed, lets just say it has to be this way or I'm going to have to remaster a lot of it. lol.
