Writing for this has a new obstacle for me to get over. At first when I jotted whatever I thought of down, I couldn't decide on whether I should use this for an Act 1 or an Act 2. I decided on using this for Act 2, Act 1 will have a little livelier and quicker alteration to boot.
I took some inspirations from Freedom Planet's Dragon Valley 2 theme, which is obviously where the idea of using a 6/8 time signature came from. Hitoshi Sakimoto's instrumentation style is so interesting to study and recapture the feeling of, and I had the idea before making this song anyway. Not much to say here other than the fact that this is a much more general John Tay thing if anything.
One thing to note:
There comes the concern of me tagging my works as Sonic-related when it's obviously just an entirely new soundtrack, to which I don't necessarily care about. Obviously that concern is definitely appreciated, but I did start this project for a reason, y'know.
The main reason why I started writing for this project and asked for others' help was because I was inspired by Leila Wilson (aka Woofle)'s Sonic 3 Alternate back in 2015. I set out to do the same thing given no real limits outside of "just make a good song and have it done with", giving me and anyone else involved more creative freedom and more chances to show off what the Mega Drive's two dinky soundchips could handle under good hands...
...though what kept me going was the fact that I've never actually completed a project like this before. It gives me the experience that I most needed to try and point out some personal mistakes as well as hone in my craft to the fullest. Giving myself a theme that I am comfortably attached to and care about gives me more of a reason to write. I apologize if you actually have this concern regarding this project.
