Olymbots: The Soundtrack

In late 2016, I was hired by Dr. Diane Christie to make music for her GDD 450 class: Highest Point Game Studio's game Olymbots. Olymbots is a multiplayer party game where up to four players battle one another in six mini games. The development team was split into six groups of programmers that each gave me ideas and sample pieces for how they would like the music for their minigames to sound. I used a few different genres while compiling their soundtrack. Synthwave is a constant throughout, but some songs have drum and bass inspiration, others have future bass sounds. There is even a racing mini game with Gran Turismo inspired house music.
With a name like Olymbots, the team wanted a feel of epic Olympics music with a science fictiony space twist. So I took inspiration from Power Glove's theme from FarCry 3: Blood Dragon and added a bunch of brass to make The Olymbots Theme. From that theme I also arranged the songs Results Screen and Game Over.
