One of the key ingredients that make games unique is their soundtrack, would you agree?

That's why we've worked on an official Liberté soundtrack that would let our players immerse in the world of Bliss-affected Paris while giving each faction a unique flavor. To provide you with a bit of a sneak peek, let's take a look at the creative process behind the soundtrack and soak in the mysterious vibes of The Tribe 😉

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]Capturing the essence of The Tribe[/h2]
The Tribe faction in Liberté is a cultural melting pot, and we wanted the music to reflect this diversity. As a faction pushed to the bottom of the societal hierarchy, Tribesmen nurtured a longing for the lost lands they used to call home. Naturally, we wanted to extract that essence – the nostalgia and yearning to stay true to one's own roots – and channel it into the soundtrack. At the same time, the cabal spirit of The Tribe was equally important, as it served as the element distinguishing Tribesmen from the rest of Paris.

After experimenting with various instruments, our composer Filip Kazimierczak ended up mixing the elan and pride of the Tribe with their rituals and religion. The main theme of the Tribe – entitled A Song Of The Elders – opens doors to a world of mysticism. You'll hear rhythmic drums, elements of electronic music, as well as inspirations drawn from the Middle East and African cultures (like the intriguing daf instrument rooted in the Persian culture). All of that serves one purpose – to set the stage for a toe-tapping good time throughout the game.



[h2]Building the Game's Ambiance [/h2]
We want Liberté's soundtrack to be your trusty sidekick as you embark on your adventure, from various character encounters to pulse-pounding combat situations and even the spine-tingling atmosphere of Bliss. Since we're gamers too, we traced back our favorite scores and ended up listening to ambient mixes from Diablo 2, The Witcher series, but also sci-fi scores such as Returnal or The Last of Us.

One of the challenges was to strike a balance between Bliss and Paris, too. While each faction deserved its own musical language, we needed common ground. However, the Bliss – as an out-of-this-world creation – required a separate brainstorm and approach.



[h2]A Symphony of Inspirations [/h2]
Delving deep into these various inspirations required an open mind – and a fair share of scores we drew from. We explored a wide range of sources, from sci-fi classics like "Alien" to the mesmerizing film scores composed by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, Daniel Pemberton, Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow, or Michael Abels, as well as revolutionary songs composed during the French Revolution. This eclectic mix of influences has resulted in a soundtrack that is both atmospheric and evocative, perfectly complementing the game's narrative and setting 😀

We hope Liberté's soundtrack will be a joyous part of a fun and immersive gaming experience. By carefully crafting the music to reflect the unique characteristics of each faction and drawing inspiration from a colorful palette of sources, we've created a soundtrack that we simply love and listen to on a daily basis already. So, as you explore the world of Liberté, prepare for a rich and captivating auditory experience!

Until next time!

Liberte dev team

We have an announcement to share - don’t worry, it’s nothing scary.

Although our team’s working 24/7 on polishing the whole Paris/Bliss experience, we clearly don’t have enough hours in a day to fit all of the ideas on time. We’ve had a long discussion, and since there are things we’d love to finish before the official release of Liberté, we decided to move the premiere date to the second half of May. We have a few good reasons to do that:

[h2]Partial Voice Acting [/h2]
You’ve been quite vocal (see what we did there?) about the need of voice acting, and we couldn’t agree more. We’re now working with a bunch of talented actors to breathe new life into your favorite Parisians, non-Parisians, aliens and everyone else. Our goal is to focus on the dialogues you’ll hear the most to create a fully immersive experience. P.S. If you want the Superstatic devs to be the Easter Egg actors taking on some secret roles, let us know in the comments! 😜

[h2]Official Soundtrack[/h2] 
Speaking of immersion, we have secretly found a fantastic composer to work with us on an official score for Liberté. All factions will now have their own musical setting, and you’ll venture into Paris with an official score to pump you up in combat or set the right mood in character encounters. Liberté main theme will be a blast!

[h2]Gameplay Polishes[/h2] 
Our team has been attending many festivals and shows, because gaining feedback from as many sources as possible has always been our priority. That’s a source of tips on how to make the gameplay shine, and we’re busy bees as a result. We've also been working with an awesome QA Team from our partners at Anshar Publishing that peeked at every corner of Paris, looked under every fungi in the Bliss and gave us a solid portion of support 😀



That’s almost all. What’s next?

[h2]New Official Release Date[/h2] 
We simply owe you that one, don’t we? 😉 Stay tuned, we’ll be back with details soon.

[h2]Liberté After The Release[/h2] 
We'll share with you our plans for the future development of the game. New bosses? New cards? New talents? New playable characters? You’ll find out soon 😀

As always, we’re super thankful for your comments, discussion on Discord, hours already spent with Liberté and all the content you guys created because our game inspired you. That’s awesome ❤️

Au revoir!
