We've all fallen victim to those debates that don't really matter at all. Yet they are some of the most heated debates around, probably for how ridiculous they are in general. The hotdog debate genuinely hurts my soul, but it was a topic that very much fit with a song I was working on for a game by the name of "Attorney of the Arcane", a game inspired by the Ace Attorney series, but with it's own spin on the genre. With all that being said...what do you think a hotdog is? This is "Song That Plays When Someone Asks if a Hotdog Is a Sandwich". I hope you enjoy!

► Full Song [Daemon Navis] - 10:27
Making video game music with free programs. Its actually not that crazy at all, but I thought itd be a fun way to show people how they could get started if they dont have a budget to start with! Many composers out there have used free programs (Toby Fox being a big one). The rest comes from practice and experience. This was a super fun video and I hope you guys enjoy!
