Hello everyone, today I don't have much to show you visually. I will however present to you, a demo of my music for the game. The music is here below. Note that this is not the complete version.

It's a jazzy tune for the game when you're sneaking about. It was really hard to find good samples for the saxophone and the drums. Most of the drums and sax sounds are either really expensive or just generally hard to find. I used FL studio for this so I needed to have something that was compatible with it. A lot of my time for the music went to researching. I've never done any jazzy music before so I spent countless hours just listening and trying to replicate it on my piano.
I'm kinda satisfied with it. It's not perfect but nothing is so I should be satisfied with what I've achieved. When working on games in small teams with next to no experience you need to have a broad range of skills. This is not the case when in big companies, they want specialists and people who have honed their skills in one area very much.
Next week I will work on everything that's left on the game since last week is the last week of development.
The project is coming to an end and the most important stuff has already been done. There's a lot of small jobs that's left now so I don't really have anything big and new that I want to show. Next week I'll talk about the project overall and how it's been. For example about my new experiences in game development. Thanks for reading

Hello Valdemar!
SvaraRaderaFirst of all; your post is over 100 words off the 400 each post was supposed to be, and you did not include an image. These were two, out of very few restrictions we had, so I don't think it's that great that you're lacking in both areas.
I would also say that your comment about large companies and they only wanting specialists is just plain wrong. If so; what are technical artists? Who would act as an interface between each group of people? It's an unnecessary comment and shouldn't be in the blog.
I also don't quite get what you mean by "I used FL studio for this so I needed to have something that was compatible with it.” As I do not use the software, and this blog is supposed to be very 'general' (To my understanding at least). What do you mean by compatible, in this case? Maybe this could be expanded upon a bit, so that even people like me (who's never touched any kind of music sofware) can understand what you're writing about.
But the music does sound great though, in my opinion. Really great. Very much captures a jazzy feeling, which seems to be exactly what you want it to do.
Cheers, apologies for (probably) sounding like such a hardass.
