Oh my God… it’s amazing. Please don’t lock the soundtrack behind backer build gameplay. I’m enjoying the demo content. I’m blown away but how GOOD and IMMERSIVE the current soundtrack is. I implore Snapshot to arrange the backer build soundtrack and release it to us. also, please in the final build, let us keep Freiheit! ---

They cannot have Simeon’s music in the game. It would violate the contract they signed with John Broomhall, which is for him to do all the music in the game. ---

Every contract can be annexed with both parties good will.

I’m only asking for the music to be available for download OUTSIDE the game. I really like Broomhall. Please no one take this as a knock on him. But Simeon’s music he composed for the alpha/prerelease content is really good. I just dont want it to disappear. EDIT: Would it be possible to get a dedicated Music and Sound Design discussion thread? I thought about making one, but didn’t want to be pretentious. I would love to be able to suggest stuff to Broomhall. For example, OG X-Com I think, needed more active and sci-fi sounds, less orchestra-ish stuff, and more fast paced sci-fi (synth and other stuff) which reflects violent combat. I loved the eerie foreboding music of OG X-Com. Please make it creepier and more foreboding! ---

I ment posts and comments on current pre alpha music could continue there. It seems this isn’t real feedback forum (to company, developers) - we can only discuss among st ourselves. What company will do/decide, we have to accept. Capitalism is not a democracy for real. ---

He also hangs around on the Discord chat, along with several of the devs, including Julian himself! :o While that is something, at same it does not guarantee any bugfixes or feedback input at level real beta testers are involved in game development (by similar freedback). We could now best judge by included fixes and maybe even some suggestions in BBs/final game. But again, that is merely a hope and only indicator of “feedback acknowledged where found reasonable”. One year to release is enough time and at same time not enough time to change/fix things. Nice ongoing example is this - will nice BB music be kept in some form, offered as additional gift in mp3 or removed completely. #1 is our wish, #2 is compromise, #3 is legal stance of team mentioned by Voltage ---

So as we know already that Simeon’s work will also make it to the game I wanted to say that I like that music, it fits the scenery and mood. But you know, what I like the most? I can’t get rid of Technician Heal ability sound from my mind. I don’t know why, but I think it is fantastic! 😃 Maybe it works like that with the animation and FX and it makes me want to use it all the time. It looks like teleport with the healing effect, maybe some resemblance to the Star Trek teleport from childhood. Hard to say, but i really admire it. 🙂 ---

I agree with this. As for the underlying issue, not sure why they would try to change the overall feel after the positive reception of the backer build music. ---

At the time the backer build music was placeholder because the all the music for the final game had been contracted to John Broomhall, which means they had to use his music by law. Said contract has been renegotiated so that Simeon’s music can be added in. ---
