New Arvale Overworld Music

by Jason Surguine on October 4, 2009

It took quite a bit longer than anticipated, but I finished up the Overworld music for the new Arvale. This is the music that is played when you exit a Town or Dungeon map and you’re wondering around on the actual continents. I can only imagine it was named Overworld because it is when the game is showing the overall picture of the world you’re on. Either that, or it is the opposite of the Underworld (which is where most dungeons used to be located in RPG games of yore).

Here’s a preview of the Overworld music: overworld_preview

I wanted to have a theme similar to Arvale 1’s overworld: overly bombastic and adventurous. But I also wanted to add the quirky, playful humor of Duncan’s character into the mix. I think the music accomplishes that pretty darn well. What do you think?

Next up, main battle and boss battle music! :)

This is very nice!
But the later part gives me a feeling of ending theme…. >.<

Thanks Michael!

It goes on for 2 more minutes and has a few more themes throughout.

Most people only hear the first 30-45 seconds of Overworld music (because of constant interruption by battles), but I like to put some very special themes in for those who like to stick around and listen just for the music ;)
