Developer Shootout #1: Colt Canyon Soundtrack

Howdy fellow gunslingers! Great pleasure to welcome you to our first Developer Shootout on our pixel art rogue-lite shooter Colt Canyon. Within the next weeks and months we will be sharing tons of news on the steps we take to bring the dangerous Wild West to an atmospheric life!

Let's talk about the music: To make the Western experience as realistic as possible and allow the player to immerse into a story full of flying bullets, bloodthirsty enemies and dangerous wildlife you need an atmospheric soundtrack, that is supporting the story and action on the screen - no matter if it's a movie or a game.



Colt Canyon is no exception. The game is designed in a minimalized and pixelized style with color mood and vegetation differing depending on the various regions the players is shooting his way through - and it's the same for the soundtrack.

Composer of the Colt Canyon soundtrack is Luigi-Maria Rapisarda: "Endless deserts, smoking colts, saloons in which the whiskey flows, bandits that wanna chase you down and the burning sun in the sky combined with typical instruments like harmonica, fiddle or an old bar-piano - the Colt Canyon soundtrack is inspired by the works of Ennio Morricone on the great Spaghetti Western movies of the 60s and 70s."

But enough words, let the music do the talking:
