Um... Hi guys, long time no see, or at least for me it was too long.

I'm doing this quick update just to say what I've been doing a while ago, especially because I had already ended this period and still did not have any announcement or thing besides that Remy fan art. It's not that I feel obligated to do this, or to continue, but is more like I think that just leaving without saying anything would be like really shitty on my behalf.

So, for the whole 3 of you who wonder what is going on with Alex, I had already finished a level of the second world, I think the development of new levels and the cinematics would be really easy, the problem is that sprite work, coding, and level design is not the only thing that I have to worry about to make Alex the cat a Reality, I have to worry also about music. I gave my games the benefit of just don't have music before because those games don't need music, but this game DOES need music; the worse part is that I'm an Engineer Student, not a musician, for that matter, I don't know anything about music and my music teacher in high school hated me. So.. what do we do? Welp... there are 3 options for this kind of problem:

Solution 1: Contract a videogame composer

Problem: I am broke AF, and music costs a lot.

Ok, from what I had read on Reddit and other sources, there's a problem with downplaying the role of music in video games. Music is a fundamental part of music and I don't want to leave the wrong impression. I'm not saying that it's too expensive to pay that much money for music, just that it's too expensive for me to pay for anything right now.

Solution 2: Find free music

Problem(s):

• It's hard to find pieces, especially for chiptune.
• I couldn't find any music that fit with Alex's tone.

So… that leaves the third and most terrifying option… Learning how to actually compose some music.

By now I’m being self-taught and I know that composing music is a really hard task, especially if you are self-taught, but I had learned a lot of stuff by myself, like game development, video editing, drawing, and pixel art, even if learning all of this took a lot of time and even with that I’m not really good doing all of this. So I think this shouldn't be so different, will take more time but I think that I could do something passable for the end of this or the next year If I really try. I won’t be showing any of my attempts to do anything in Newgrounds because I’m just realising garbage at the moment. I’ll try to do more stuff at the moment and check more information about musical composition. So that’s all for now.
