The Shepherds of Haven Soundtrack: Volume 1 is out now! (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone, just popping in to let you know that Volume 1 of the official soundtrack for the game has been released by our main composer, the brilliant Ivan Duch! 🎉
This volume contains 16 songs, including the revisions for Chase and Trouble's theme songs, theme music for the Shepherds and numerous locations throughout the alpha build, and so much more!
(It does not include the other, non-Ivan-composed music that you may have seen around here before, like Blade's Theme; those will also be incorporated in the final game and can almost all be viewed here.)
Working with Ivan to create this album has been such a blast. I'm pretty new to working with a composer and commissioning custom music based on locations and characters that exist only in text (and my imagination), but Ivan is a bonafide genius and master of his craft. Seriously, if you have any desire to commission an orchestral or instrumental piece based on your own stories or characters, I can safely say you should run, not walk, to work with him! I have nothing but resounding praise for his work and how easy and fun this collaboration has been. :) Work on Volume 2 has already been started as well!
You can listen to the album for free at any of Ivan's links below, or even purchase it yourself for your listening pleasure! As I noted before, the complete OST of the game will also be bundled with its "legendary edition" when it comes to official storefronts, but until then, I hope you really enjoy listening to this amazing volume. 👀 And please, give a shout-out to your favorite tracks! I'm over the moon about all of them... but Shery's Theme definitely makes me want to scream/cry/smile in the best way possible! 💖🎶
I hope you enjoy, and don't forget to give Ivan a follow or some praise if you feel like it! He has his entire library of music available to listen to as well, and it's all incredible: I've been listening to it myself while writing ShoH these last few months!
(And last thing: if you want to read about Ivan's thought process when he was composing each song, try going to his individual songs page and click "Get it" on the song you want to see the description of. Here's Chase's Theme, for example! I just think it's really neat to see how he describes each track and his reasoning for each one!)
