Kingdom Island Music Requests

Postby Jake » Mon Feb 11, 2013 6:36 am

I am trying to figure out the next bit of music for Kingdom Island before I begin really diving into a new style that I've heard from you to incorporate.

Things I am going to incorporate:

Longer and more robust songs
More instrumentation
Better advanced stereo incorporation


For those who play the game and listen to the in-game music, what would make the music better? What would you want to hear in the game? Obviously, we cannot have music by a professional recording artist because that requires so much permission and other junk.

Help me help you. :)

I personally would like a track that has less repetition in it. So a longer and more robust song would do it for me and I would also like to see instruments too :) I think i'd prefer a more calming piece of music so maybe something on an acoustic guitar. I'm no musician so sorry for not being very specific or technical :lol:


Thanks for including us Jake :D

I'd suggest songs that set a mood/tone for that kind of room. Not only that, but like real life sound effects/ For example,

Ballroom: Fancy, elegant music (Piano). In addition, maybe the sound of some forks and knives gently grinding on plates so it sounds like people are eating.

Castle: Maybe the rooms of the castle have a sort of evil music playing, sort of intimidating.

Waterfall: A calm, peaceful melody. With this melody, could be the sound of rushing water, and maybe even some birds chirping.

Excited to see what you come up with!

I love that idea pengy, like natural background sounds that are different for each room. I'd love that but also I've said this before it would be cool to have a music playlist were you can choose a song and listen to it wherever you are. So maybe you can have an option to listen to the background noises and sounds or play some more upbeat music like there is at the moment.

I think that this would then satisfy a vast amount of people and it gives them a lot of opinions :)

I am able to play a bit of guitar. Unfortunately, I do not have the appropriate equipment to allow for me to plug my guitars into my computer. I could use a guitar-like keyboard track. It sounds realistic.

I'll give it a whirl.

I would love to hear all these ideas for music in the game, but I really like Alex's idea about the medieval instruments that would really set the mood and tone of Kingdom Island. :) I personally would love more piano in the music.

Good idea Alex! Maybe that could be played in the castle grounds, with trumpets and those guitar like instruments that aren't called guitars. They're like banjos and maybe a flute and a harp. :)

I can do just about any instrument. It is like a dollar for another group of instruments.
