Track number: 03/03
Track name: Night Shift
Album name: Mocha Cabin OST
The original soundtrack to "Mocha Cabin", a short simulation game programmed by Dmitriy Shmilo (twitter.com/dmitriy_shmilo), with art by Gabriel Da Mota (twitter.com/gabriel_damota).
This game was an entry into the Godot Wild Jam #40, running from 10th-19th December 2021 and it was incredibly enjoyable trying to coming up with something for a cozy holiday theme! In this case, the setting was a cozy little coffee shop, selling various combinations of drinks to customers.
I attempted to strike a balance between slightly upbeat coffee shop holiday music and a more chilled out, slower-paced jazzy atmosphere and while it might have been a touch too upbeat in places, I think it fits the game well and please how things turned out. It could have been a touch longer to avoid too much repetition during gameplay but a minor gripe on my part!
Made lovingly with FamiTracker, akin to the GameBoy and NES music style.
Game description:
"Mocha Cabin. A (somewhat unfinished) Godot Wild Jam #40 submission. This is a resource and time management sim, where the player takes control of two characters, and needs to run a coffee shop."

![Akumajou Densetsu [Castlevania III, JP] - Beginning (FamiTracker FDS)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pIjf7II8mKE/mqdefault.jpg "Akumajou Densetsu [Castlevania III, JP] - Beginning (FamiTracker FDS)
Ive finally had the chance to work on something from the Akumajou Densetsu series, also known as Castlevania III outside of Japan and immediately made a beeline for the headline track in the entire OST, that fittingly being Beginning.
In the same way that Simons Theme is a cornerstone of another game in the series, I feel that this encapsulates the feelings that I get when watching gameplay videos from the game. Theres something about the first track from 2D platformers that just seems to hit different, the other one springing to mind being Strike the Earth from Shovel Knight.
Getting back to this, I wanted to use a different expansion chip as an exercise to see whether I could integrate the sounds from the other NES versions to replicate something similar with the FDS expansion, ultimately attempting to get something more akin to what you would find on the GameBoy. I went with some square bass so I could utilise a modified sine wave as the main portion of the lead sections.
Im glad that this one turned out how it did and tried to maximise each channel where I could. I tend to stray away from using the DPCM channel for samples these days as they tend to skew the output for me quite a lot and dull the other sections so its fun trying to get around that limitation.
Hope you enjoy this one. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
All the best.
