I was wondering of what the music will be in the game. I remember watching the fanmade trailer and it reminded me of Minecraft and Terraria's music, gladly not that much, I liked something about it.

I, personally want it either like it is/was in the RPG games (Take Golden Sun/Final Fantasy for example, good music in those games) or no music at all.

Music is a great atmosphere factor to the games and movies, everyone knows that. I turned off music from Minecraft and Terraria because it made it seem too peaceful and childish, and battles didn't feel like anything.

Of course, if I don't like the music in the upcoming game, I hope they put a turn-it-off-option alongside with it. :D

What do you think?

There should be music for different areas and fights in my opinion.


Examples:

-Different themes for different biomes (Deserts, grassland, underground, etc.)

-Different themes for different areas/buildings (Cities, towns, shops, inns, dungeons, etc.)

-Different themes for different battles (Normal battle, underleveled battle, boss battle, event battle, etc.)

Music in it self will factor in amplifying the game, I do hope that wollay recruits someone with a great musical background.

[shane3x]

Where has Wollay been getting the music in some of his videos? I thought most of it sounded pretty good so far.

I changed a bit of the main post and put a few ideas.

True that brother.e

[MachetePanda]

I agree, the music in his videos sounds good.

He made all the music himself.

Boss battles should have music that fades out when you get too far away from the boss.

Hopefully the music is good everywhere in the game equally, i'd personally avoid any area with crappy music

Definitly. <---- I think I spelled that right.

definitively??? definatly is just a pronunciation while the actual word is definitively i think? (my Grammar Nazi is showing)

I do hope the game is good in the game,
so you won't get bored of hearing it all
the time.

Not too worried about the kind of music that gets put into the game, I just hope there is the ability to turn it off so I can have my music running in the background instead.

What, why would you do that?

[TheNotSneakyNinja]

music is elemental part of video games and i really hope wollay hires some good composers for cube world

[Knife Party]

What, why would you do that?

I enjoy the music I listen to and I listen to it whenever possible. Pretty much every game I play on my PC has it's music turned off, not because I don't like the background music, but because I just really like listening to the music I enjoy

Doing this probably wont help for immersion and other roll playing elements, but I definitely wouldn't consider myself much of a gamer so I'm not too worried about that.

Indeed.

Beat me to the topic, man

But I'm all in for this idea, just saiyan. Wollay should hire someone who is skilled at music.

If you compare Terraria to what it is without music, something just feels... empty.
EDIT: Oh well, almost 2 in the morning... I'll be back to soak up the latest news. Byez

I've got some music that I'm trying to pitch to Wollay. Here's a couple of the tracks--let me know what you think.

This game deserves better tunes than I've heard in the trailers.

[Barnsey]

i hope the music wont be cheesey.

Etymology Man, to the rescue! [http://www.xkcd.com/1010/]

Definately vs. Definitively = Define -ate (cause to define) vs. Definitively (relating to a definining moment).
They're two different words.

On topic: I liked the music in the videos a lot, but I've yet to hear anything from Wollay about where it came from. I wouldn't mind the in-game music being that or something similar.

[Shuffle]

Wollay made all of the tracks himself.

[Zractain]

I think a zelda or terraria type of music would be good, one that's in the background for ambiance instead of loud, here-and-there minecraft kind of music.

[Awesomejet]

I kind of want that action/adventure feel during battle. When i'm not fighting, I think some soft harmonics would be perfect!

[thelordofpee]

Oblivion's music was perfect

[Ramagerz]

I hope it's shuffles music!

[Darkdemon111]

I would like for different domains to have different music styles. That can add to the atmosphere and would give my ears something to listen to.

The usual situation for a game traversing diverse biomes includes strong atmospheric sound effects. Examples includes rushing water, breeze against leaves and grass, birds, water dripping, insects, howling, and rain. These serve as the buffer between areas.

For instance, when you are leaving a castle nestled in a forest region, you begin to notice the green tiles beneath your feet interspersed with white tiles. The soft flutes and chimes of the forest fade out and you are left with a few bird chirps and the crunch of your feet against the snow. Then as you fully immerse yourself in the snow environment, the bells and string pads of snowy music fade in. The leading tones of these themes are usually best as solo parts: only percussion, a single piano, or a single horn swell. That way, if they fade out quickly, it doesn't feel as jarring in their absence.
