Hydra's lair

Submission for  "ost composing jam: Crunchtime 03"

This is my first attempt at making game music, I honestly joined this jam on a whim with only 7~ hours remaining and no experience.

I used the webapp Beepbox for the audio creation.

The game

As I imagine it, this track would be included in a open world JRPG. In this game you would fight against an evil cult who wishes to revive long dead mythical beasts and kaiju-like creatures. 

Along with a white dragon companion the player would travel an open world and destroy cult encampments and save villages from their tyranny, along with huge multi-levelled boss battles against revived creatures.

The track

The track I created is themed around exploring the resting place of the strongest mythical beast in the game, the Hydra. Not yet knowing if has already been revived, a slow and treacherous decent into madness.
I really wanted to make a suspenseful background track, with the intention to loop to act as ambience before the player encounters and subsequently battles the Hydra.

I would have loved to have more time to continue creating for this idea, especially creating the transition from the ambience into the ultimate battle sequence. but given my late arrival to the jam I was very limited. I may return to this in the future.
