The music for The Ravenous Planet was designed to reflect its dark space opera theme of a star system on the brink of collapse. In a deliberate choice to build immediate tension, we eschewed a traditional main theme. Instead, the main menu greets players with nothing but the massive, oppressive sound of the wormhole that threatens their world. The in-game score is a dynamic three-part suite: a bright, encouraging track for the tutorial, a mysterious ambient piece for exploration, and an intense, driving theme for combat encounters.
Example Sound Effects from The Ravenous Planet
For The Ravenous Planet, we crafted a dark, cinematic soundscape to match its high-stakes premise: a dying star system threatened by a growing wormhole. The audio is designed to build a sense of cosmic dread, anchored by the ominous, rhythmic pulse of the central anomaly. We also delivered the crisp, impactful laser fire essential to any space opera. In contrast, the tutorial features a deliberately lighter tone, with ring-completion sounds inspired by the nostalgic chimes of the N64/Dreamcast era to gently guide the player.
