Music for the title screen

Finding the right music for the title screen.
First I try finding car chase like score. However after much searching I feel the music will to match with the title screen but can match the in game chase music. So look for music that feel that much greater will happen when to press start.

The music should fit with the world without creating much distraction to the viewers and aid them to understand the world of the game.

I found music that has fast space spin to it, that show it a chasing game.
This music will work if the title screen represent the chase itself instead of pre-chase moment. We still use the music if we remove the animation and used a still image of the game. But I decided that, we go with the other direction because we can break conventional expectation of gamers.
Need For Speed Most Wanted Police Chase Music
Need for speed most wanted Cop Chase theme song
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Theme Song
Vanesa Lorena - Pursuit Theme (NFS Rivals Soundtrack)
Need For Speed The Run Chase Theme
Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012 Menu Music
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 5 Theme Song
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 4 Theme Song
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 3 Theme Song
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 1 Theme Song

I found music that is cool and feels like something more to come.
Need for Speed World - Music: Safehouse (garage)
Need for Speed II Soundtrack - Main Menu

Really like the one below, but in my opinion it feels familiar and also one part the beat feels out of place from the world of the game.
Need for Speed Carbon Theme - Menù Music 4



This music shows that something more to come.
Need For Speed Rivals : Garage Theme

The actual music I believe fit with both category and do justice to title screen.

Horror Narrative

So since I am making a horror game, I need to know what kind of narrative I should right. One of my previous post, I wrote about "What is Horror" which covers many of this. Now I would to dive deeper into this. Certain design choices made before production due to time and resources constraint. First Person Point of View No Dialog One repeatable Level [Check My Previous post for the layout] Its an Horror Game One Ghost / Young Girl Lack of Props  This means, I have to design Narrative through Visual Means, I cannot take the easy way out of dialog and words. I have to show Emotion and Story through Color, Layout, Lighting, Atmosphere and Sound.

Retuning our expectation of achievement!

I first created this reflection for my team at Coda Payments on 31st December 2021. I hope this brings value to you as you navigate the daily beauties of life.  Reflection post ahead: 2021 was an unprecedented year filled with life-changing events; work for home continues to be a norm, the battle to end Covid prolonged, people found new ways to connect with one another, and so on. As we head towards the new year, it poises us an excellent opportunity to reflect on the past year. As we reflect, we have 2 ways to go about it: Glass half empty or half full. Circling back to earlier in the year, I gave a Lunch & Learn session on "Clues to a more fulfilling work-life", where the core of the message was finding meaning in our work as when one find meaning/purpose, the work(action of doing) becomes more fulfilling, leading to greater satisfaction in life. Now it's time to see the 2nd part of the equation: contentment/achievement. Fulfilment is all about the action, while ach...

Education and Career: How to Go about it?

I was asked by parents to advise their kids on which higher education courses to pursue, which is in line with establishing their career paths. Having faced this very same question about 12 to 14 years ago, I feel I may have something fruitful to offer. Let's take a step back for a moment. At some point in our lives, we all need to make a decision about what we want to do with our lives. We must recognize that this is a huge question and requires deep thought to derive an answer. We should also consider that at 15 to 17 years of age, we don't have all the answers. Frankly speaking, at 28 (turning 29 in a few months), I too am still figuring out life. It's a journey, not the destination. NOW, this presents a challenge. The world and all its weight are expecting us, mere teenagers, to make a life-changing decision when we don't have a clue what the world is like and where we want to be in this world. So, what should we do? Panic? Nah. We take a deep breath and think it th...
