Gameplay video:    • Tropical Dream: Underwater Odyssey   Somewhere around 2008 we started to release "premium downloadable PC games" with Digital Chocolate. What it basically meant was that some of our older titles got complete remakes with new gameplay aspects, graphics and music. "TD: UO" was originally based on Photoquest Fishing, which for me was screaming for a task split between Caribbean casualism (read as "Monkey Island goes Disney") and ambient music. While I always enjoy making music in general, my favourite parts were hands down the ambient ones- especially the ones you heard when venturing into deeper waters within the game. Not being exactly Lustmord or Coph Nia however, I took a ton of inspiration from World of Warcraft- especially in the last song which is heavily bowing to the music you could hear in Shattrath City in the Burning Crusade- expansion (2007). Then again, Shattrath music is the best in that game ever and Matt Uelmen should be hired back this instant for the next expansion. Fun and useless fact: The lead designer, who was a convential and tidy man in his early forties proposed me to hide subliminal messages which would say "we´re all gonna die" to the soundtrack. 1. 00:00 Opening 2. 00:11 Intro Movie 3. 02:03 Tropical Dream: Underwater Odyssey Main Title 4. 03:50 Shop 5. 05:07 Gameplay: Beach waters 5. 09:25 Gameplay: Reef waters 5. 12:45 Gameplay: Deep waters 5. 17:53 Gameplay: Sunken City 5. 24:12 Gameplay: Underwater Caves
