To Eternity

TO ETERNITY is an industrial metal soundtrack composed of 4 songs for the OST Composing Jam #4.

I originally wanted to compose more tracks (Runaway being one before Sentinel March, Forest of Eternity before Zero Gravity and Into the Stars after Forest of Eternity, and Finale being the final song) but I ran out of time.

The story follows as this: you play as a character who is destined to reach the Beyond, an area beyond comprehension, full of deadly creatures guarding the way to Eternity, which is the way to transcend humanity and become a god. The character is forced to run away from everything they've known after their home is intruded by an insane prophet, who tells them about how if they stay where they are now and don't leave for Eternity, they will be in great peril. But they must destroy Eternity, as said by the prophet, as it could be found by the wrong people. Throughout the whole story they are hunted by authorities of the area who are trying to stop them from reaching Eternity, and some people have been hired to kill them at all costs and stop them from entering the Forest of Eternity, and this is what starts Sentinel March.

The two Sentinels are knights who guard gates to the Forest of Eternity, and they are the first boss fight in the imaginary game. Sentinel March is the boss theme.

The character progresses and after a hard fight, the Sentinels fall, but not after the protagonist almost dies, coming into Still Alive. This song stands as an interlude between the areas of the game, as the character continues into the Forest.

Skipping ahead as unfortunately I didn't make all of the songs I wanted to, we end up at Zero Gravity, where the character has taken the dive into the realm before the beyond, fighting the Illuminator, which is the embodiment of the area that the character is surrounded in. The beast is defeated, and the character moves into the beyond.

The Beyond  is structured in 4 parts: Ambient, Heavier Ambient, Light Combat, Heavy Combat/Finale. The first track plays while the character wanders the empty voids of the beyond, heavier ambient coming in when there is a few enemies. Light Combat comes in when the character has to deal with a swarm of enemies, and the final part of the song comes with the final boss, the Eternal Guard.

The Eternal Guard is an enemy more powerful than any being in the game's universe, other than the Gods. It guards the final way to Eternity, and was a god itself until devoured by the Serpent King, a God Devouring beast, which serves as the main body for the Guard.

After defeating the Guard, the character reaches Eternity, and has the choice to either destroy the portal to Eternity, or become a god themselves.

PROOF THAT I HAVE MADE THE MATERIAL:

I don't have images of the projects in FL Studio, but I have images that show that all songs were made in the time of the jam, except for Still Alive, which I do not have the original file for anymore, but the song was posted in the DevlogOST channel in the discord server for the jam, and I have proof of a final master that I did last night, but after making that final master, I can't find the original file anywhere. The images have been attached with the songs on this page.
