Developer’s Diaries # 14: Creating cinematics soundtrack



Hello, guys! Today, we want to share with you some of the musical tracks that were created specifically for the cinematics in Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom. All these tracks and many more will be available to Strategic Mind Franchise Soundtrack owners right after SM: Fight for Freedom release. Those of you who purchased the Franchise soundtrack before have helped us to almost double the overall soundtrack length in the project since we used the money gained from soundtrack sales to boost our sound-related budget. So, we are really grateful. We will keep expanding the Franchise Soundtrack with all tracks from the upcoming projects for no extra fees.

In general, all in-game music can be divided into several categories:

1. Cinematic music (plays in certain cinematics):
  • All tracks used in cinematics only.

2. Gameplay music (plays during gameplay):
  • All historical music record for the project (some well-known marches etc)
  • In-game tracks created for this project.

Sometimes we could use some historical tracks in cinematics as well. Today, we are talking about cinematic music and we will share with you some historical tracks at a later date.

For Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom we created a couple of tracks with Eastern motives for the events taking place in North Africa. Here is one of them:

The return of Allied troops to Europe brings a plethora of feelings: pride, anxiety, determination. We think this track does justice to that difficult yet glorious day in our history.

In 1946 Allies were forced to begin a new war, this time against arguably an even stronger foe. Will they be able to free the Peoples of Europe from Stalin’s rule in 1946?

Finally, we want to share the only famous classic music track that we included in the list of cinematic music at the insistence of our Cinematics Director Constantine. Usually, we create unique tracks for the cinematics, but this time Constantine asked for one classical music masterpiece to be recorded by Draba studio specifically for one of the UK campaign scenes he had in mind. The music is Handel’s Sarabande.

Could you guess what scene or event will accompany this masterpiece? Let us know in the comments:
