about

Original Soundtrack composed for indiegame 'Do Consoles Dream of Romeo' designed and created by Blow Fans Studio (TM), China. Some pieces were composed using only sampled libraries, some using Modular Synth synstem.

Some discriptions about the game:
"The game is a minimalist tactical game that contains elements from puzzle-platform games. It tells a story about a game console who falls in love with the player.

The goal of the game is to control Juliet, the humanoid game console, and Romeo, the man, to defeat all the enemies chasing them within the grid, and to finally find a paradise where there is no barrier between different species, and they can be in love freely.

In terms of the game mechanics, we Interpreted the theme ’SHIFT’ from aspects of ‘displacement’ and ‘switch’, players control the displacement of every movable units including the protagonists and the enemies within the grid using the arrow keys. Two protagonists have different skills and objectives, while players are able to launch skills to switch the location between them at any time in order to response to the constant challenges in the game.

The whole experience of the game is similar to that of solving chess endgames, but in a much gentler way. While in the game, players will experience a journey of strategising and consolidating at every step.

We decided to employ the Cyberpunk artistic style for our game, adopting imagines like ’circuit board’, ‘electric conductors’ to represent our game scenes, while the whole scenes are full of dynamic effects and details; Musically, we employed electronic music aesthetics and styles that are more uplifting and dynamic to integrate closely with the artistic style and game mechanics."

Xiaolian Zhang (Stefan)'s music is experimental in essence, sometimes inspired by hybrid film scoring, electroacoustic music and modular synth, drawing influences from the vibrant contemporary audio culture and reexamining Chinese cultural heritage.
