Greetings everyone, Carlos here, CEO at Blini Games! A new week is here, so I bring you some more notes about Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2. When it comes to the making of the music for your game, you always face the same decisions: Do I want to invest in an OST, or am I better off using free resources? The real question here is, do you want for the music in your game to become one of the key elements that define the story that you are telling, or do you want it to be a thing that you are just forced to put in, just for the sake of it?

We knew that the music should play an important role in Lovecraft’s Untold Stories, so we decided to hire a studio that would compose the Original Soundtrack for us.



In the search for a composer, our recommendation is to go to Game Development themed Facebook groups (a pretty good one is IndieGame Devs), and publish a job offer. You will surely get lots of proposals. Check the portfolio of those you like the most, and try to reach an agreement. What is the ideal pricing? Hard to tell, it really depends on the experience of the composer and how good you are at negotiating. We got offers from 70$ to 1000$ per song, and from 5$ to 100$ per sound effect, and to be honest, the difference between them wasn’t even that big...

[h3]AND FROM ITALY, FLEW THE RED OWL[/h3]
It was precisely in that Facebook group where we found our Italian friends Enrico Scatto and Riccardo Salin, who by that time ran the studio called Red Owl. They offered us their services after seeing one of the screenshots that we published. The enthusiasm of their message and the desire they had to work on a project based on Lovecraft convinced us instantly.

Little did we know about how crazy these guys were… but AWESOME crazy, mind you. They got the vibes of the project immediately just by seeing the first images and videos, and got to work… Not only on the music, but also on the sound effects. As for Part 1, along with the pixel-art graphics, the music is one of the top elements that buyers and critics liked the most.

Of course, when they learned that we were developing Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2, they jumped in… And they are really nailing it. We haven´t given them any guidelines other than the visual materials of the levels... And the total freedom of creativity is paying up.
Here you can take a glimpse of their creative process behind the OST:

Don't forget to wishlist the game if you haven't already to stay up to date on all the upcoming news. We'll be seeing you soon with more exciting updates about our game.

Until next time!
C.

Greetings cultists!

Over the past few days, we have been monitoring the feedback to the Steam Next demo that you have shared with us in the forums, and after consulting with the Great Old Ones, we have concluded that it will be for the best to change our release plans in order to implement the changes you have asked for, and in general to shape up the game, to match our vision for it. This means that we have decided to postpone the early access launch that was initially planned for October 27th.

Right now, we don't have any specific release date that we can share with you, as we still need to estimate how much time we will need to work on several improvements and ideas. Based on this, we decided to abandon the Early Access version and instead go straight for full release. All we can say for now, is that we are aiming for a release in 2022. Once we have a more clear picture of the development plan, we will inform you about the release date.

Last but not least, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you, who shared your demo feedback and suggestions in our Forums. It really means a lot to us and we don't want to let you down, so we would rather postpone the release, than publish a game that our fans won't enjoy. In the meantime, we will be sharing frequent updates with you so you can follow the development progress and see what we are preparing for you!

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

Greetings cultists!

As you probably know, Steam Next Fest is in full swing and Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2 is participating with a free demo. And we have prepared a contest for a free copy of the game! The rules are simple - download the demo, play the game, capture a screenshot, share it on Twitter with a #LovecraftsUntoldStories hashtag and tag https://twitter.com/1C_Company

And that's all! Once the festival ends, we will choose three people who will receive a Steam Key for the game, once it enters Early Access on 27th of October.

Good luck and have fun while capturing the screens!
