New Theme Music and Screens




The main theme music for Winter Promises is now available as a MP3 download from the link at the right. It is still a work in progress. The first verse, chorus and bridge will be used for the intro movie - while the last verse and a chorus will be used for the closing movie/credits. I'm singing the lead and playing one of the guitars. David VanDelinder (the same who created the new logo drawing) is singing backing vocal, playing the other guitar, as well as bass and the synth intro. The actual song is much longer - I have cut out one verse and a chorus so far, and may do more trimming.

Have made some progress on the Mod. I used Hellfire's "High Pass" prefab area, and the re-worked it for Winter. I am still changing out trees, grass etc, but it is going well, so I am including a screenshot. Have also included two interior screens - the first floor, and wine cellar of a monastery that I am working on. I will do a few more areas, then jump into the writing for a spell. Most of the main plot, and 2 quests are outlined. Let me know if you like the music!

You have an amazing voice, Dennis. It's good to hear that you'll be putting your musical talents to good use in your new module. I really enjoyed the melody of the theme song. The style is reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel, whose music brings back fond memories.

I really like your screenies too, especially the one outdoors. It looks like you're doing an excellent job adapting High Pass for your mod. Looking forward to your next update.

WoW ... what a great piece of music for a mod! Reminds me of Jethro Tull. :) Might have to dig out "Songs From The Wood" again or "Broadsword & The Beastie".

Great quality too!

Lance.

Excellent work on the music. I've now put up a watch on this mod ;)

Keep it up, looking forward to seeing and hearing more.

Nice piece of music. I especially like the guitar(s). Very non-standard for a fantasy cRPG. I look forward to seeing how the mod refleccts it.
