Hardspace: Shipbreaker - Synth Mixes to Augment Yourself to

Ah yes, the "Everything has gone horribly wrong!" mix.

Started playing this at my job (security/EMT). Perfect atmosphere for watching the sunrise waiting for a medical call.

[@snark894]

when you're cutting through weak points and you hit a fuel tank, detonate the reactor, explosively decompress the ship, blow a nacelle into your face, launch yourself into a czech hedgehog, and now you're scrambling to get to the master jack to repair your helmet before you die horribly

"Each day he steps into the yard, to earn his wages working hard. I pray to the stars and heaven above, to return my Daddy, to those he loves. And if one day he and death meet, bless the next cutter that takes his seat." Shivers in my heart, every time it plays.

[@georgiykireev9678]

The irony of this, which I feel like is lost on most players, is because of the genetic extraction the father meets his death on day 0 of the job, and the next cutter that takes his seat is still him, for the most part

We will skip the training on how to make the reactor safe, just go for it! (Breathing intensifies)

[@WNytes]

What's hilarious is that is Hal's mindset. When you get experienced enough that Weaver starts your training on Type 2 reactors, explaining about safeing them by cutting off fuel and coolant, Hal is all "or you can just rip that puppy out and barge it quick!"

[@SlyRoapa]

@@WNytes Thing is, Hal's method works just fine. Even if you rip it straight out, you still have plenty of time to barge it, as long as you stripped away the outer hull first.

[@rashkavar]

@@SlyRoapa In a way, the difference between Weaver's and Hal's mentality mirrors the difference in a real world vs gaming approach to things. Playing as a gamer you can go pretty fast and loose - the game is pretty forgiving except for Atlas engines randomly murdering you - but if you're trying to role play as someone with a reasonable sense of self preservation, you're gonna play it a lot safer

[@cornbonzo7027]

Ok, now that I’ve tried to dig into this game’s audio myself, I have a greater appreciation for what this video is. Edit: I put the soundtrack on KZbin. It’s mixes are different than these, some better, some worse, but mostly insignificant. kzbin.info/aero/PLAlZj3w4wjC-Xvk7Et7Xwie49Y-ClGfj3 I’m working on getting reduced variants uploaded as well, and also the reactor meltdown music Hardspace shipbreaker has an excellent dynamic music system. But it’s made of layers, as it needs to be able to drop the synth whenever tension ends, and fade into high quality after sufficiently long enough time. this video had to mash mutually exclusive sound layers together, because the high definition soundtrack and the synth tension part never occur simultaneously, which is a complete shame. I don’t know what it’s like working with .wem files, I have no experience and was scared off by having to sign up to audiokinetics to get wwise, the tool for this audio file type, but I’m sure glad someone did. Dynamic soundtracks are usually disappointingly poorly converted into static music, and the official game OST on steam doesn’t have any synth whatsoever (but does have two copies of every song, except labor of love which is completely missing????) Overall, thanks for giving me my favourite sci-fi music to listen to while playing completely unrelated games

[@nevadaxelizabeth]

this is common for most games that uses Audiokinetic Wwise. i did so archeology on Papo & Yo which also has a dynamic music system and the same middleware. i even had the pleasure to exchange some mails with the composer of the game about it.

[@AlbaMusicArt]

beautiful art

[@cornbonzo7027]

i'm imagining the speedruns i see where someone sacrifices their life and limb to get 1.4 million dollars in one shift. that gameplay doesn't really fit the music but that's the only thing that's playing as they rip parts off the ship without regard to the fuel and coolant lines lighting them on fire and freezing them solid

[@Macintoshiba]

Im a little annoyed that the synth parts arent included in the OST on steam. Theyre arguably the best part of the soundtrack!

[@doejohn6855]

@@SideQuestStories I don't remember it that way, but I'll take your word for it. So ouch, I wonder how I ever tolerated that - must've been distracted by the manual labor.

[@WillowLiv]

I agree, but it's also true this is how it plays in-game. I think the reason that that in-game isn't so obvious is that the music was playing normally at first, it switches over to the synth for a few seconds while something intense/you fucked up is happening, and then goes back to normal. And a lot of the time your radio breaks and you get squat, so I think this is why you never really notice it being two songs at once.! For me, listening to them on their own, it's a hit and a miss, some I like, some I don't, but to each their own!

The synth here is designed for the game's tense moments when there is a hazard, which is why it has to overpower the acoustics during those moments. The synth isnt part of the game's OST, this video ripped the audio mixes from game files most likely
