Erah - Symphony of the Guardians

 

 

Erah is a non-commercial video game project directed and written by Benjamin Kuli (me), in collaboration with Blue Flame Candle.

This 2D epic fantasy role-playing game contains lots of new and unique ideas never seen before. It contains elements from both japanese video games (especially japanese role-playing games) and western video games too, and also has elements from retro/older creations, just like modern, and art games.

The game reveals the story of a fantasy world, Erah, incorporating the stories, characters and elements of different eras in one epic conclusion: learn the secret of the mystical Guardians, know more about the forgotten archs, and make decisions which can change the world. Different 
playable storylines, with totally different tasks and characters, and high replayability factor.

The gameplay also contains new elements. It has a turn-based battle system, and a unique level-up system, where you decide which skills and weapons you want to upgrade instead of using a class system. Also, you can use item creation with the technology appears during the storyline, or you can also decide to collect as many Guardians as you want. All of the characters appearing during the storyline are different, and you are able to decide who you want to add to your team: all characters added to the team makes differences in the storyline. Also, the day and night affects the gameplay too, as you can encounter different things in your journey in the morning or in the evening.

Erah's world is a living world. Only waiting for you to discover it.

Every response is appreciated, and if you can, please share it with your aquintances and friends. And one last thing: the CD version of this project is coming soon, but at the moment I cannot tell further information about it.

 

Hello everybody,

 

I just want to share you some music I composed and recorder.

 

 

At the moment I'm working on "Blue Flame Candle" project, which will be a freely downloadable music album and will contain classical inspired piano-based pieces. As my main territory is creating soundtrack music, it will also be affected by OSTs.

 

The project is still work in progress, but I want to release it as soon as possible. At the moment, it contains 4 totally new music and 2 older pieces. Here you can see the current order of the songs:


The first music, called as "Midnight", is the perfect prologue song for the whole project. Minimalistic, long and silent enough to create the atmosphere of this project, but not being so harsh.

The second one is "Memories". It can be treated as a direct continue of Midnight, but with a bit more serious atmosphere, as minimalism is expanded and built by more instruments step by step.

"Apostate" is the next. It's more serious than the previous song, even a bit sad and nostalgic, but also minimalistic. The most important that it's more soundtrack-inspired than the other pieces.

"Crime City" is not low-key like the other music, as it can totally show the mentioned atmosphere in its full form.

After leaving Crime City, we sit in a bar. At this bar, the musician plays a song: the "Moody Blues". The atmosphere is changed, it's not as sinister and sad as before, but still nostalgic and anxious. However, the next song brings the ultimate change.

We realize the important things. "The Eternal Love" changes not only the mood of the songs, but the mood of the listener too. It's the perfect beginning for something new (other songs will be music in the same atmosphere), which relaxing everyone. Tension, doubt and sadness is substituted by happiness, love and care.

I hope you enjoyed these songs, for more, you can visit my YouTube Channel. Also I'm working on an interactive video as I reached the 200th subscriber and also planning to do a Q&A video, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I absolutely love these <3

A couple of things:

- I really feel that Memories would have been perfect with some freer rubato in there. Just makes it more expressive.
- In Apostate, that lower drone from the cellos is really distracting at that volume :P
- Crime City, on the other hand, I have no problem with the drone here. It's really atmospheric here.
- Moody Blues' melody sounds suspiciously like Pure Imagination. That middle section, around 2 minutes in, is such a strange melodic transition. I do like it though.
- You got The Eternal Love just right. Literally just right.

Looked around your channel. A lot of nice material there. Do you play most of the instruments used in your pieces, or do you use software?

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed them. Now posting my music here totally worth it. :)

- Maybe you're right, but I think that the balance between "ruled" and "free" notes which made it good.
- Yeah, I agree with you, but because of the minimalistic piano part, I think that those strings were necessary. Maybe they could be a bit more silent
- Thanks. :)
- Not just pure imagination, but a lots of jazz/blues music contains the same structure and similar notes. Here I didn't want to create something new, but to use some jazzy bases to create an atmospheric music. Distance is also a tool of these kind of music.
- Thanks again.

Missed "Midnight" from the list. :P

I play the piano, then if it's necessary I'm modifying the instruments with software. Also I can play in more instruments in real life and I also can sing a bit, but cannot play guitar.

I'll post here if I have any new songs. Thanks for the comment, it is really appreciated. :)

Then the answers:

@James Bond - 007

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed my music! Soon I'll post my other projects (as soon as I'll have some free time), I hope you'll also like my "The Guardians" project, which will be a soundtrack/atmospheric project for my upcoming novel. I hope that one day I'll get more viewers, especially because I do composing for other people. :$

@Poc

Thank you! I'm glad you like them. I don't use soundcloud, but instead I use NewGrounds. There I guess I'm a bit more popular than on YouTube - at least I get more views there.

Finally, a new music! This time, it's not for "Blue Flame Candles", but for my other project.

What should you know about this project? Well, it's some kind of promotion/soundtrack for my upcoming fantasy novel, which is a story about special weapons ("guardians") made by an ancient species, the "archs". This music was made to do the atmosphere of the prologue from the story, which is still work in progress.

A fan-made music theme for a possible movie by Christopher Nolan, starring Nightwing (Robin) as Batman. The music's title, The Dark Knight: Wings of the Night referrs Nightwing as the new Batman. Music is highly influenced by the Nolan films' themes, but still wanted to add my own ideas.
