You should add some basslines.

thanks valdred! wtf was i thinkin!!! ^^ thanks i've barely even touched on basslines yet wow

Music and Concept Update<<
Just finished another song in FL Studio! This one's titled "The Chimera Wastelands" .

-(heres the idea behind it) It's played in various areas of the game where heavy outbreaks of chimera demons plaque and breed throughout the environment, (once regular animals,insects,etc. that have fallen victim to radiation and insane expirements, thus mutating and losing all sense of any tameness they might of had),

- these areas are totally off limits to the regular townsfolk and citizens. Only mercenaries, the heavily armed, or rouge bandits dare to stray into these infested plains, forests, swamps, etc., to brave a chance encounter with one of these abominations.

This concept also gave me a new idea for a main enemy. Kinda like professor Hojo in FF7, he'll be one of the evil madmen behind the abominations, but thats all i can say for now!

MUSIC update>>
I finished this new piece today for a thread on another forum. came out pretty cool but i'm about ready to start spriting again, or perhaps some new concept art. btw i'm redoing davids sprite, it was kinda lame but i already have the general idea worked out for his new look, its way better! and i'll try to have that animation intro reel up (as soon as i can find a screenrecorder thats half decent!!)

Music Update and I'm now focusing on releasing the first Demo! (after a year :P)

I know I've been posting alot of music for my project but I had to finish this track for Chapter 1 of the game, the circus comes to town so I had to make sure I had original music for the demo! It's a nice change from the darker and more intense melodies i've made. I'm also considering making a circus tileset addon for this scene of the game along with the character sprites, I've already got a few completed so expect some new graphics soon.

anyway David meets a few carnies here, who become very important characters later on in the game, thats all i can say!

ok I have a 4 new tracks uploaded on youtube, for everyone who'd like to check them out heres the descriptions and links for each >>>

"The Shadowcaster"
the circus is in town!! David gets a little more than he expected from the show when he's picked out of the crowd by the infamous Shadowcaster and gets an up close and personal, in your face test run of his lastest ingenious invention, a 3d virtual reality headset!?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Fallen Star of Wormwood"
set for the fight with one of the bosses codenamed "wormwood", in the game >> Wormwood is actually the name of the first fallen angel that attacks earth (star/angels are enterchangeable). He possesses a gigantic ancient drilling mecha in his satanic search to unleash Appolyon and his army from the bottomless pit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Gravelstone Forest"
thought I would experiment with some upbeat tracks since I'm usually into darker more intense beats. Gravelstone Forest is played during the hillside treck from David's grandparents house to the town of Gravelstone where the circus is scheduled to arrive.

and "Dreams and Visions"
"Dreams and Visions" is a spacey outta sight moonwalk through the spiritual plane. that about sums it up lol

You have written good background story, but maybe you could share some of the storyline (what happens from the point of gamestart and forward)?
