ARKADLUDO

By mukti on March 2, 2024 5:59 pm

This week I was a bit stuck again so worked on another track I had played around with a few weeks back. The main sounds come from different pieces of an arp sample I made using my PO-20. I tried to make everything else sound a bit arcadey and ended up throwing in some additional samples that I believe Defense Mechanism uploaded to the m8 discord in ~2022 ("slicedsamples.7z" - a bunch of random samples and drum samples from samples.kb6.de). Everything was put together on my m8, but mixed and adjusted a bit in reaper.

As always, feedback is appreciated!

Since the PO-20 is the arcade themed Pocket Operator, I figured arcade would be a good name. ARKADO is technically the architectural "arcade" so went with the term for "arcade game," ARKADLUDO. I think I would have liked ARKADO better, but figured it should still make sense!

Very daunting piece.

Scary vgm vibes. This song would have scared the $#!+ out of me as a kid! smile

Thanks! One of my friends said the same thing, and described it as "the 'evil factory/laboratory' level in an edgy 2d platformer" smile
