The music of RRU Arena

[Shadowblaze]

 So a few years ago the one and only JimbobJeffers asked me to make some music for a game he was making called RRU Arena. Sadly the project was scrapped but the music still remains; and here it is in all of its perfectly loopable glory. As always, enjoy!

Sorry about that, the fact it was scrapped was likely my own fault.

(I was brought on-board as an artist, but this was back in the days where I'd naively just join/start new projects without thinking whether or not I had the time/skills/dedication to do so. As a result I struggled to maintain interest in the project and was eventually forced to leave the project in order to focus on my education.

Considering that was the last I heard about the project and it was never publicly mentioned/teased in the years since, I assumed that me leaving the project might've been partially - if not entirely - responsible for killing the project)

 

I remember being told that you were working on the soundtrack, but I never got to hear it until now and honestly, it's great stuff!

(Regarding the LEGO Racers track, I especially love the way you added/remixed the game's music samples... makes it feel nostalgic, whilst still audibly unique to fit with RRU Arena's tone. It's excellent work!)

Aw yis, the soundtrack has finally been released, it's really damn good Shadowblaze! I was so amazed when you sent them over yonks ago, they perfectly captured the themes they were based on in a frantic battle setting Maybe someone else will make a game some day that they can be used in.

Yoooo let's not be so presumptuous Ben haha. Looking through my old files, RRU Arena was apparently the last Flash game I ever worked on - if I recall correctly I simply lost interest in Flash programming (its end was nigh by that point anyway) and moved on so the game was never taken beyond the basic menu and player programming, I was nowhere near the point of adding actual art assets yet. Nothing to do with you dude.
