Strike911 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) So I was working on a shoot 'em up that kind of didn't make it. But I had so much unused music lying around after that I figured I'd toss it online and make it an official posthumous soundtrack. You can listen and download the album for free here. http://www.heavenvariant.com/ or you can stream straight from Bandcamp http://jasonkoohi.bandcamp.com/ It's just blatant 199X shoot 'em up cliche cheese, and was meant to be. I was sad the game didn't come to completion but I'm happy I'm able to release the album at least. As my first official album release it's a little bittersweet, but still a fun album to crank loud.

avaris Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 This music is incredible dude! I love this soundtrack. Title screen is wicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike911 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Thanks. ^__^ Why didn't the game come to completion? Had some financial issues, technical issues, real life issues. There was a lot complete though, was a serious loss for me. Happened about 2 months ago and I'm still grieving. It all sort of coalesced at the same time at the worst moment possible. It was literally the last option on the table after exhausting all the other ones. Team disbanded, and when it was all said and done I was left with a zillion music tracks and particle systems I had made in Unreal. Haha.

timaeus222 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Is it weird that I read track 60 and thought it said "Cluster F*** Missiles"? xD That said, DAMN, that's a lot of music. A good amount of it is awesome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 oh man, this is fantastic stuff the AAC version from your site was giving me trouble, so I'll be grabbing the bandcamp version in a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC2151 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I was rooting for this project, and am sad to see that it didn't work out. The music though is really good, and you should be proud of it. It's excellent stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoeTaKa Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I've been listening to this whilst playing games of Street Fighter and other things. Some tracks I thought were pretty awesome: Divinity Space Corp Intervention (sounds like it could've came straight out of Chaos Legion which is a straight win for me), Struggle with the Scythe, With My Soul, Ascender. There's a lot to like though and it's really consistent with some sweet genre twists here and there. I already told you I'm gutted the team disbanded but I love this soundtrack and it reminds me of so many games I've enjoyed in my life.

Rozovian Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Downloading, sounds cool. Preview sounds a little squashed, tho. Hoping it's just my setup or ears or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike911 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hmm... thanks for letting me know about the AAC issues. I know Windows Media Player was having issues. I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what's up. Yeah, it's possible it could sound a a bit squashed. And thanks for the kind words everyone. I had a lot of fun with the crazy bass lines.

RoadiePC Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'm really surprised this hasn't gotten a larger reaction around here. The game had a lot going for it(from what I saw), and the soundtrack will not be leaving my "Driving Music" playlist for the foreseeable future. A real shame about the game, but I gotta say, this sounds like you put your heart & soul into it, and it shows through. The scope of the soundtrack alone deserves mention--67 FINISHED tracks? Damn good stuff. Just let us know if you sign on to any other projects, since something like this could only be made better with a game to accompany it.
