Track number: 01/03
Track name: Title Orders
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."

![Halo: Combat Devolved - Drumrun (8-bit tribute album)
Track Name - Drumrun [18]
Covering Album - Halo: Combat Evolved
Original Composers - Martin ODonnell & Michael Salvatori
11 years later (or in the making, however you want to look at it), the stars finally aligned and I managed to bring you the entire Halo: Combat Evolved Original Soundtrack, in 8-bit glory using FamiTracker and no expansions. Just 2 square channels, 1 triangle and 1 noise. Bless my previous soul that thought that it would hopfully take less than the time to do the Shatter covers (6 months).
Halo: Combat Evolved holds a very special place in my heart, giving me two very poignant memories when it comes to this game and my teenage years. The first being the 4v4 deathmatch matches we used to play at my friends house using the system-link capabilities. Naturally, everyone wanted to use the much larger 42 plasma TV rather than the smaller CRT that was used for the other team. I think that the game was far higher fidelity on the smaller screen as plasma screens at that time were relatively new and the games were stretched. I hope that my friends mother didnt mind us completely taking over the living room as I always felt bad for that but it was a complete blast. The trade-off for using the smaller screen was that you got to take a sneak peak at the enemy teams position, if you were lucky not to get caught. However if we were all playing free-for-all on a single TV, then any attempts would be completely inexcusable and getting killed from a hidden position would be met with shouts of screen looker!.
The other memory I have is playing co-operative with a friend over the road from my house in his loft. The Assault on the Control Room and Two Betrayals on legendary difficulty were the two most popular levels we used to choose. It was always special to play as it wasnt very often that we got to play together there - when some hobbies are restricted somewhat, then it makes it even more enjoyable whenever you are able to partake in that activity. There was one level that was brutal where you had to make a crossing over a bridge between two Covenant buildings while attempting to avoid the crossfire from enemy Banshees. They were the main threat as well as enemy Elites, causing your shields to drop in an instant. You did have a small respite though which was lovely - there were sleeping Grunts that you could melee from behind for an instant (and more importantly, silent) kill.
Late 2001 - what a time that was. I dont think Ill ever have another time like that in my lifetime but thats both to be expected historically but also the fact that were unlikely to see a first-person shooter like this again. Martin ODonnell and Michael Salvatori did an incredible job on the soundtrack. It takes incredible skill to compose music that flows and fits so perfectly with the gameplay - something that I still aspire to achieve at least once in my lifetime, just once.
I hope that you enjoy my delve into the Xbox eras past, as you listen to my renditions of the 26-track original soundtrack for Halo: Combat Evolved, with some hidden personal twists along the way.
