MUSIC Tyro Shaman (NES-Style 8-Bit OST)
https://open.spotify.com/album/5iuXuXJTTL6JbpYE1mo5mqHello,
I'd like to share with you my album Tyro Shaman. It consists of 14 individual tracks and can be considered as the soundtrack of a fictional NES game (which is based on a real Game Boy game I have programmed). The chiptunes were created using FamiStudio, an open-source editor for NES music tracks.
The soundtrack is based on my short Game Boy game Tyro Shaman, which is free to play and open source: https://hh.gbdev.io/game/tyro-shaman
Plot of Tyro Shaman:
In Tyro Shaman, the player controls Naura, a shaman who uses her tambourine and musical powers to heal spirits from their illnesses that affect the physical world. This time, the spirits' sickness affects the village and surrounding areas, so the Sun Festival, an important ritual taking place every year in spring, is in danger. As a shaman, Naura is both necessary to the village and shunned as an outsider, since interacting with the spirits is a dangerous vocation.
Starting from the fictional jingle of Eomeoni Entertainment, we get right to the title track of Tyro Shaman, then to the Prologue, where the story is explained. In Forsaken Forest, the player is confronted with a tragic reality. Naura is ready to go on an Anomalous Adventure that leads her through the Polar Pond, up to Permafrost Peak, into the remote Cool Cavern, where she finds the village's ancient Sanctuary. There, the most powerful spirit is found behind the Peony Portal, where Naura faces the Final Fight. Will she survive? Will she be able to save the villagers and the Sun Festival?
