Did you know the team behind The Case of the Golden Idol also co-created a Fallout 1-inspired retro space RPG? AND that my soundtrack for it contributed to a Best Audio Design Nomination at Latvian Game Awards? 🔥

That game is SPACE WRECK and today it's celebrating its 3rd birthday! ❤️‍🔥


Ernests Kļaviņš, co-creator of Golden Idol franchise known for his iconic art for the game, was also a co-creator and a Lead Artist on Space Wreck, while Andrejs Kļaviņš, co-creator of Golden Idol franchise too, laid the foundation for the game's core RPG mechanics.


That said, the story, concept, game design and programming came from the very talented Mārtiņš Ceplis, with whom I had the great pleasure working directly on the game's soundtrack.


Speaking of the OST - I was composing for Space Wreck at the exact same time as The Case of the Golden Idol, hence for me these two projects will always be inevitably intertwined, even though they tackled completely different genres.


Beyond the Best Audio Design nomination, Space Wreck went on to win the Indie Category at the Game Development World Championship, and got nominated for Game of the Year, Best Game Design, and Best Artistic Design at the Latvian Game Awards.

To commemorate 3 years since release and honor its awards and legacy - I’m hyped to share the full soundtrack continuous mix with you today ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥



 

Ok, this is easily the most epic way I've ever been announced on a project (despite the candles, I'm very much alive btw xD)

Huge thanks to the team at Absolute Tenebra for dropping this awesome welcome on Instagram, and congratulations on releasing the official reveal trailer yesterday! ❤️‍🔥🔥


Composing the trailer track was the first time I was given David Lynch & Dario Argento as primary references. Diving deep into the soundtracks for Eraserhead & Profondo Rosso was both deeply educational, disturbing & strangely inspirational.. Blending those influences with my own flavor - I'm really proud of how this one turned out 🖤



 

Hear, hear! 🥂 Today marks 1 year since the release of the latest Golden Idol Series entry - The Curse of the Last Reaper 🕵️❤️‍🔥


Composing this soundtrack brought back quite a wave of nostalgia as it unlocked so many memories of working on the very first game's OST back in Lviv, Ukraine.


Given Reaper's close ties to the Case of the Golden Idol, I wanted the soundtrack to reflect that as well, and so I've included a couple of easter eggs across the tracks effectively closing the chapter on both the original game's soundtrack narrative and my contribution to the series as a whole.


It has also been so rewarding to hear how the score and my craft evolved right alongside the franchise.


They say a detective shouldn't get emotionally attached to the case, but I can't help but confess I've fallen in love with this series - what a journey it has been working on it with Color Gray Games & Playstack alongside Andrejs Kļaviņš & Nathan Hicken ❤️‍🔥


Full soundtrack now available on YouTube 🔥🎶

Case closed!
