The... ground layer? Maybe an overlay of falling snow?

I mean the layer as in you have the character, the background, obstacles, let's imagine in that video with the block, will the grass have a 3D effect like the block or the background will be made of grass?

The background (the ground) will be made of grass and whatever else happens to be making up the ground. I won't be adding any pseudo-3d to ground tiles.

Ah I see, that's what I wanted to know

Video of things.

Pitch-shifted down because DJ said so. (Marking the fourth version of what was originally a 20-second loop. Bwa.) http://www.mediafire.com/?ndsetuoq1orpa6a

Vid looks awesome, Tsukasa.

Okay now, seriously, with all the loop versions of this song it's going to be impossible to pick the ones I want to use!

Actually, while I didn't really think of it this way before, Beginning of a New Dawn may have the potential to become Yumé's Reminiscence.

For those who don't get the reference, Reminiscence was Ninian's theme from Fire Emblem 7, which the player came to associate with her in an almost-subconscious way and which received an epic arrangement at one of the game's most dramatic moments (which I will not spoil), made about 200 times more dramatic by the character theme.

I've always wanted to do something like that.

If you could let loose a few more plot details, Tsukasa... Don't feel pressured, but you have my email.

just what sort of details are you looking for?

More Detail = More Music. Major plot events are fun to compose for, as are recurring sequences, but I welcome any kind of detail. (And I totally understand if everything is subject to change, given that the same thing is happening to me with Song of Steel and Flame.)

I know this is probably copyrighted, but what if you could use this music in a trailer or something for your game:
