A new retro-style JRPG called Tako no Himitsu has been announced, boasting an impressive line-up of developers from notable franchises. Deneos Games is leading the charge, following their successful title Save Me Mr Tako.
The game will feature music by Motoi Sakuraba and Masanori Hikichi. Scheduled to launch on Kickstarter on July 10th, the project is anticipated to captivate JRPG enthusiasts.
What are your thoughts on the involvement of such experienced developers in a Kickstarter project? Would you support this game to see it through development?
I don’t think I can articulate how annoyed I am that people are being so dismissive toward music composers. Music can make games.
I very clearly stated that Terranigma’s soundtrack, unlike the game itself, did not stand out to me that much. And yes, when I hear “staff” of a certain game being involved I would expect something like the designers or programmers who were responsible for some of the things that actually made those games great. A soundtrack alone can’t make a shit game good, no matter how good it is. This isn’t dismissive towards the composers, it’s just a fact.
As a popular example, IMHO FFVII wouldn’t have been half the game it became without its soundtrack.
