Yogurtbox composes chiptune soundtrack for fake eroge

Yogurtbox composes chiptune soundtrack for fake eroge photo



Dutch chiptune composer Steven Velema AKA surasshu would have loved to create a soundtrack for a game on the beloved but outdated Japanese PC-98 platform. Seeing as it's 2011 and he's kinda missed the boat on that opportunity, he and fellow composer Ken "coda" Snyder have decided to create a fictional eroge, Tree of Knowledge, and create the soundtrack for it. With the help of American pixel artist Jordan Chewning and Swedish character designer Diana Jakobsson, they've actually created a good chunk of the game to go along with the soundtrack!

Check out their website to see an interactive preview with music and game scenes. Any of you who fondly remember the good old 16 bit days of FM synth music will likely swoon a bit with nostalgia, even if you weren't the biggest eroge player. The site is fairly complete, with downloadable backgrounds, character profiles, screenshots, and a preview video which you can see here after the jump.

The soundtrack is available for US$10 as a digital download or US$12 plus shipping for a physical CD. I seriously want to set my alarm to play the track 'First Day of School' so I can wake up to it every day.

Why not just make an eroge and put the music in the game? ┐('~`;)┌
Man, that's wonderful stuff! I've got the giggles. They have the music and all the cliches down pat. The trippiest thing is seeing a Wii rendered in that old style in that last gallery pic.

There always was a girl named Chie,(or Chieko, or something like that), wasn't there? Must have been a popular name for girls born in the late '80s.

Music like this still survives, though--just pop in any Phoenix Wright game. Those are visual novels, even if they're not eroge.

I also immediately thought of Lord Ilpallazzo playing his eroge in Excel Saga. That was 1999, so pretty much that same era.
"or US$12 plush shipping for a physical CD."

Plush? was that on purpose. D;
The soundtrack creators cite the "Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO" music as an inspiration. The TLWiki group is slowly creating a fan translation of that 1990s game.

Companies have translated relatively few 90s romance games. But a few years ago, a fan group translated Atlus's PS1 dating simulation Bloody Bride, and another set of fans translated the PC-FX version of Welcome to Pia Carrot.
