Welcome to the sixteenth music update of 2022
Welcome to the last project update of the year! Let's keep this nice and short and sweet: what you've missed, what is coming and what else I've been up to in the last few weeks.
WHat you’ve missed
Not too much tbh. We've seen a continuation of the random music video series I started in November. This time with a Skyrim/viking style tavern song. These are all fun little experiments and alternative ideas that I often try out behind the scenes but never really share. But with this series I am sharing some of this WIP/abandoned stuff, so you can see some of what goes on behind the scenes!
WHat is coming
Spoilers!
Three things are coming before the end of the year:
1. The annual Christmas song! I'm not saying it's Anbennar themed, but it's totally Anbennar themed. The song will release next Friday, just in time for the festive day - enjoy!
2. A continuation of two-weekly video series. This time with a failed space-themed entry that I tried to put together in a very short period of time
3. The end-of-year wrap up and look ahead to 2023. This will be spicy with announcements and fun statistics, as well as an overview of my thoughts and goals for where Utopia is headed. So definitely tune in to give it a read!
What else I've been up to in the last few weeks
My recent focus, and through to the end of the year, is the completion of the full Ante Bellum 1.8 update theme Princes of Persia. This will build on the music heard in the announcement trailer in September, and extended it out to a full-length piece of music. The main focus of this extension is on adding a build-up and lighter section at the start, and alternative mid-section and then extending out the ending to not be so abrupt.
Hopefully release will be early next year.
See you in ~2 weeks for the big year-end message!
Enjoy!
