Lets Talk Music
As I currently write this suggestion thread out I am listening to Vadim Krakhmal 's Soundtrack to the pirating game called: Tempest. If you've ever played that game I'm sure you'll agree with me that the soundtrack to that game is quite impressive. Almost as if it somewhat mirror's the old POTCO Soundtrack! I've been quite inspired from this soundtrack, and have been discussing the thought of adding new sailing music to the game with the crew since in the game there is only one sailing music track. Did you or did you not know that? Yeah! Upon investigation, we found that the game only has three music tracks and the game randomly picks 1 and you're stuck with that song until you board another ship. Let's take a listen to all of the original POTCO music, shall we? I'm sure you'll find the idea of adding new sailing music quite appealing to you after this...
Sailing A music starts at 0:00, sailing B music starts at 1:04, sailing C music starts at 2:07, and sailing E starts at 4:16. A High Seas Combat track exists, which can be heard at 5:20. Finally, is another sailing track that starts at 3:13 but we're just not going to talk about that one.
Sailing Music E, High Seas Combat and 3:13 are not implemented in the game at the moment, but that could change... Would you like to see those songs added? Let us know down in the comment section below.
Now, let's talk about brand new sailing music. As the composer for the game, I do have the ability at any moment in time to create brand new music for the game. In this case that would be new sailing music. I've had some thoughts about what type of music I would like to see implemented into the game while listening to the Tempest Soundtrack. Here are some ideas listed down below...
- Battle Music A
Percussion and Epic Strings while you engage in warfare at sea.
Reference Track: - Battle Music B
This one would be a little different, compared to the one above. Maybe it could be a percussion track. Imagine only the sound of drums beating away to a rhythmic pattern to create a suspenseful environment.
Reference Track: - Adventurous Music A
Imagine boarding your ship and you hear the excitement in the strings and horns blaring as your ship's mast's unfurled, and you begin your journey to get all the mats in the game.
Reference Track:
Fun Fact: I've worked on some test music for TLOPO with music that is similar to this track above. It's only a minute long and has some more work to be done. - Idle Sailing Music A
This one if my favorite out of all of them. Imagine sailing the into the waters with your guildmates, or friends just enjoying the sea and you have this sort of -traveling music in the background. The strings are beautiful and soft, with no horns or percussion. Just you sailing with your copperhead that you worked so hard to max!
Reference Track: - Mystery Music A
Sailing into uncharted waters and you hear a beautiful choir play in the background and mysterious splashing in the waters around you. Your sailors report they've seen mermaids!

In conclusion, what do you think about this idea? Bringing back some of the old pirate sailing music, and possibly adding some new sailing music? I want to hear all of your ideas because if you have wanted this to happen this is the place to voice your opinion! It's time for you to stop muting the music in your settings and immerse yourself in childhood pirating the game and to relive the adventure you had always dreamed about!
Looking forward to hearing all of your responses, remember there are no wrong ideas!
