Introducing, Wild Cat Records!

Wild Cat Records was born in 2004 as a record label founded by Ales Elósegui and Stuart Kelling, a former member of the electronic music band Freur (currently Underworld). In 2010, faced with the decline in physical album sales, Ales reinvented the record label, transforming it into a producer of soundtracks for film, television, and video games. Sergio Villar joined the label in 2014.


Together, they have participated (and continue to do so) in some of the most important international film festivals such as SSIFF, ADE, Berlinale, American Film Market, Cannes International Film Festival, Annecy, and more. As of today, they have over a hundred registered compositions produced for various European and American feature films and short films, including titles like "Mafia," "Story of overcoming adversity," "Within," "Última parada," and "A.P.P." among others.

During the 2020 pandemic, one of their American film shoots was canceled due to loss of funding, which was a significant setback. However, it led them to focus their efforts on video games, given their passion as gamers. They ended up signing a co-production contract with Red Mountain, producing and composing the soundtrack for the video game "The Crown of Wu."





Since then, they have been featured speakers at festivals like Gamepolis (2022 and 2023) and BIG Conference (2022), sharing insights into the creation of soundtracks and how the business of soundtracks works in the world of video games. They have also been seen live on their Twitch channel, showcasing their work process and discussing legal topics such as copyright.

Currently, they are working on the soundtrack for the documentary "Trashumantes" by Argentine director Tato Moreno, an upcoming animated short film (to be announced in the coming months), and soundtracks for video games like "Exorcizamuste" (Conservation and Ruin), "Whisper of Souls" (Sun Reborn Entertainment), "Facies Hermetica" (Red Mountain), "Opus Magna" (Red Mountain), "Vampire: Hearthless Symphony" (Entalto Studios), and the one at hand, "NEON BLOOD" by "CHAOTIC BRAIN STUDIOS."

"Neon Blood" is a neon-noir detective adventure set in a future reminiscent of Blade Runner. For this project, the Wild Cat team has dusted off their '80s synthesizers and is creating an original soundtrack that promises to captivate audiences. It aims to transport "boomers" back to futuristic '80s movies and evoke memories of The Weekend's pure style for younger audiences, combining influences from atmospheric soundtracks like those in the film "Drive."

Stay tuned for more updates on the game's development and soundtrack, but for now, a little patience is required.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Neon Blood will be at Gamiberica in Porto from November 24th to 26th.

Chaotic Brain Studio, the creators of Neon Blood, will be at Gamiberica this weekend in Porto. Gamiberica is part of the Meo XL Games event at Exponor in Porto, one of Portugal's main gatherings for gaming, eSports, and Virtual Reality. The event will feature Spanish presence with various titles.



One of Gamiberica's main objectives is to create connections between the Spanish and Portuguese indie industry, whether it's between studios, investments, talent, etc. Creating a space for this is very beneficial for both parties, thanks to the collaboration between IndieX and IndieDevDay.

Stay tuned to both Chaotic Brain Studios' and our social media channels as we'll be posting updates throughout the weekend.

Don't forget to add Neon Blood to your wishlist to stay informed about every step in the development.

If you're around, don't hesitate to say hello!

Meet the "Straydogs," one of the gangs that populate Viridis.

They are important to Silver's story, managing 'The Rogue.'




Excellent boxers


Orange


Generally, the boxers Silver taught were calm and good-natured, reserving all violence and anger for the ring. While it's true that they have a small addiction to nano stimulants, a substance all boxers use to enhance their performance, which sometimes makes them lose control. There are so many of them, and together they have so much attack power that they are mistaken for a gang when they are actually athletes.


They typically go shirtless, showing off their large arms and agility that doesn't quite match their appearance. They are all very muscular and intimidating, although they never go looking for a fight.




They gradually formed in the art of boxing, all being pupils of a fallen-from-grace Silver. Silver began teaching boxing as a way to thank the sport that gave him everything and to escape reality after losing it all. Gradually, more and more young people came to learn his techniques, as he was one of the best, inevitably forming greater rivalry among his students. This led Silver to open the ring under The Rogue, so they could face each other and set aside their rivalries - let the fists speak! This attracted the attention of people who came to watch the fights, eventually leading to organizing underground fights among his own students.


As they attracted attention, many wanted to pay them for protection in their establishments, giving them the reputation of an organization or even a mafia, although they were just providing a service. With the worrying strength and fame they were gaining, other organizations like the Void kept a close eye on them. However, it wasn't until they refused to sell Spark to them, rejecting a deal with Ruby (our main enemy), that they truly had a reason to go after the Stray Dogs. The Void and the Skaal, under Ruby's orders, fell upon them, resulting in them currently being at historical lows, although they haven't completely fallen, they lost almost all their power.




Time has passed, and although they have reopened the legendary The Rogue, Silver has no hope left; he lost everything twice, when life smiled at him, he fell again. The Stray Dogs exist only in Silver's memory, but he doesn't lose faith that at some point, he can teach the sport of his life again and thus save young people in a bad situation, refocusing his negativity on the sport.


Helping the lost or lonely youth of Blind to find a passion for boxing.

DevLog 2: Basilio shows us his favorite spots in Viridis!



Hello everyone, welcome to DevLog #2 of Neon Blood. Presented by me, the great Basilio Tastiera. You can stop applauding now, thank you. For fans looking for me, the great Basilio, I inform you that you can find more of my fabulous talks in DevLog #1.

Remote connection, breaking the fourth wall, is challenging to maintain, even for me, so to summarize, my reality is Neon Blood, a 2.5D RPG with elements of graphic adventure and turn-based combat, where Axel McCoin and his great life-long friends, like me, face the most powerful in the city to end corruption and influence trafficking throughout Viridis, the city where we are.

And today's theme is Viridis. I'm going to show you some of my favorite spots in the city, so fasten your seatbelt, keep all limbs inside the car, and no eating in any scene.


Right below this text, we can see a magnificent specimen of Blind City Market. It was taken from the poor area of Viridis, but this colossus is the hub of activity for Blind City, being the commercial area par excellence within Viridis. Although it may seem healthy, it is currently being treated for a Void plague, one of the most powerful gangs in the city. In any case, if you want to stroll its streets, you can do all kinds of business, especially the shadiest ones!




After so much adrenaline wondering if you're going to get robbed (after feeling the tension in the market's alleys), what better way to end our visit than at the Basnoid arcade stall, run by me, the great Basilio.




We continue the tour and arrive at The Rogue bar, but beware! Although this place may seem calm, it is well known for being the base of the StrayDogs, a gang that, despite not being in their prime, is made up of great boxers, so it's best to be careful. Whether you come for some strawberry daiquiris like me or to watch the underground fights, also like me, this place is amazing.


//WARNING// Don't bother Silver, the owner, or you'll need ice packs.


To conclude this brief tour, what better than to visit the Viridis police station. This specimen is older than Viridis itself... Yes? That's correct, little one. This building was one of the few that survived the war, it was rebuilt, becoming a police station as a symbol of peace and unity and blah blah blah... It's nice, and it's easy to hack because the police hardly work, so if you're a level 1000 hacker with supreme mastery like me, it's a good source of information.



You can now unfasten your seatbelt, exit on the left, and please don't forget to pick up your belongings.

This has been my proposal for Basilio Tours, coming soon in the fifth dimension, but for now, I can try to show more of my reality through the social networks of those who are creating me, especially on X.com.

To see the complete tour, don't forget to Wishlist so that the Steam folks can notify you every time I, the great Basilio, manage to break the fourth wall and bring you back a little piece of Neon Blood.

See you in the next DevLog!!
