Club Penguin Music #10 - Puffle Launch

Sometimes, you make a complete soundtrack and think you're done... until you're not.

[@michaelstevenson5044]

Chris Hendrick's videos remind me that Club Penguin was built with love

[@TheWorldWideWebTheSqueakuel2]

And bought up for money

[@astronights]

@@TheWorldWideWebTheSqueakuel2 Sometimes I wonder what would happen if Disney never turned Club Penguin into a means of making money.

[@f.francisconeto]

@@astronights In all honesty, I think the game would eventually fail. While it was a great game which many people loved, myself included, it was still a fad at the end of the day, in a market filled with other similar games from larger companies, such as Disney itself. With the purchase, Disney brought its money along, which gave the devs the opportunity to keep the game running. Unfortunately, the game had to continue being profitable to make its existence worthwhile to Disney. When the time came that it wasn't bringing money, they pulled the plug.

[@PatoFrango]

haha, just finally hearing the actual song that made it into the game after all the attempts gave me such a sense of victory. amazing work chris, never gave up, keep it up!

[@ChrisHendricks]

I had the same feeling while I was making it. "Finally, this thing is done!"

[@Phantanatomy]

Puffle Howitzer is really cool

[@Fupicat]

After hearing the first examples I was starting to question if I really knew what the actual song sounded like, but when you played it I instantly recognized it and hummed along lol. I never really liked Puffle Launch that much.

[@ollie2111]

Yeah me too

[@Cvolton]

I gotta say that I think the first song made for the trailer was better too. I get that they were going for an edgy electric guitar theme but the first song seems better for portraying the story - how did the puffle actually end up in that situation, why does it have to go through this challenge

[@JavaCake]

Hello my fellow GD player.

[@MatthewsLivingAdventures]

It surprises me that they still allowed the actual song used for puffle launch. To me it still sounds quite secret agent like. (Based on the concern in the meeting when they said they wanted to take a brake from that genre). Now the real boss music does indeed have a more "electric guitar/ boys band" feel, but it still sounds super secret agenty! I love a lot of your other music namely medieval main theme and forest theme, aqua grabber, other Halloween themes, etc.... (the ones we've seen on this channel thus far) and I thing you excel in those very well, but I also think one of your main skills (all based on what iv seen from you club penguin work and experience) is secret agent themes! :-) I love the work you did for CP!!!!

[@ChrisHendricks]

I should have been clearer about it in the video, but the main thing that they wanted removed was the brass section. I'm glad you've been enjoying the themes, though. :)

[@alhadeff9797]

It's midnight here and I have class tomorrow. I can't see the video today. But I will see soon. Thanks for making mine childhood a lot better. I played CP for years and the music was one of the best parts! cheers from Brazil

From when I started CP in 2006 to when I started watching your videos, I always thought a full team of musicians made the soundtrack but no, it’s just a extremely talented genius (you)

[@ChrisHendricks]

No, it wasn't just me. I made about 1/4 of Club Penguin's total songs, I'd guess.

[@Cutiejea1]

Is it just me or does Puffle Howitzer reminds me of the EPF boss battle theme?

I really like that you are doing this stuff. As someone who grew up playing club penguin and is now an engineer and musician, I can really appreciate the technical design and music for the game.

[@arthursm]

I can't stop watching and re-watching these videos...

[@ohworm3c413]

Before watching this, I didn't even know there was a boss battle :O I'm not very good at Puffle Launch to be honest :/ I think the initial songs for Puffle Launch were very fun to listen to, it's very action-packed and intense, but I also think it was just a bit too intense :0 I agree with you on the first trailer song not being too cute, but it's nice to see that you got to reuse Puffle Howitzer!

[@Karmy.]

Same

[@Arcad3n]

Puffle Bullet and Boss Bullet are really cool! I wish they were used somewhere. I also wish I could listen to them in a soundtrack playlist but no one seems to have reuploaded them lol

[@Shadow_X_05]

I always thought the crab was klutzy haha

[@littleaa1263]

I prefer the original trailer music. I live for the juxtaposition between the "you're a cute puffle" to the "I'm a daredevil" part because it feels more monumental and intriguing.

[@moonthecatfire2627]

The unused songs sounds amazing!!!! It's so catchy! I need to add this to my favorite song collection XD

[@immchuck]

I had like 10000 coins built up on the old ipod game which could upload them to your account. When i finally did, it was a great feeling.

[@WWMProductions]

There's so much history to Club Penguin and so much to learn about with regards to the work people put into it through the years. I hope to see more of these by other people because it helps bring us some deeper understanding of how the game itself changed. For those that loved it so much it is very uplifting to still hear stories about it and to know that it hasn't been forgotten (though I don't think it will leave our minds for a long time, not the minds of the generations to come).

[@DorianC]

Thank you for writing so many songs that are stuck in my head 24/7 (in a good way haha)

[@LeWolfYT]

okay the old songs are both amazing and you can’t deny it

[@TechWizard200]

Will you ever release the unused tracks on your site?

[@Lycandii]

I hope so. I'd love to listen to these songs over and over.

[@jagerzaku9160]

I hope so

[@601billionlazer]

i think the original version of the trailer theme is wayyy better. Sure, its not as edgy, but i think it works better that way. Having the trailer START cute contrasts the ending well because it shows how this puffle went from his everyday cute life to a “now its personal” type of intensity.

[@ChrisHendricks]

THANK YOU! That was my thought too.

[@michaeldawes2366]

One of the best games on club penguin. I loved the music so much I remember grinding puffle launch all the time to save up to get puffles from the puffle store. Thanks for creating one of my favorite music soundtracks of all time!

[@cowboybry]

For the trailer, the cutesy one worked best. The transition from the cutesy one to start then Daredevil getting ready to kick some crab butt and the guitar riffs come in, it's so good

[@kelzek6109]

Did you also created the Dojo music???

[@ChrisHendricks]

I did, but it was based off the theme that showed up in the first EPF game for the Nintendo DS.

The Guitar of it, I heard it before xD What's the Sequenced Synth called in Goliath?

[@kaepotter]

i love your videos. remembering the music that went with one of my favorite games and seeing the creativity behind it really brings back some great childhood memories

[@DomtheDevilsRival]

Puffle Howitzer and a little bit of Puffle Bullet remind of the Cortex Vortex music from Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. Boss Bullet sounds a bit like Cortex's boss theme from Crash Bandicoot: Warped. The beginning of Puffle Coaster 3 sounds like Rock Slide rumble from Crash Twinsanity. I love the Crash series so maybe it's just me, but listen to parts of those songs and come back to the ones you've made. You made some pretty beautiful and rockin' tunes for my favorite childhood MMO, I can't thank you enough. It seems you have a knack for making music similar to popular video games, whether intentional or not.

[@HalfHydra]

The ones for the main part of the game were better, mostly because it was developed over time, not because it was *that* much greater. Personally agree with you on the opening video song. The company (who developed that game in unity....so ahead of its time) probably wanted to keep the sound consistent judging they accepted the puffle howitzer.

[@SparklyShoe]

omg its so amazing! I'm so happy! i love when you show how its all made.

[@celinepope]

I like both versions! But the first one for the trailer was way better.

Can you imagine never being able to play this again?

Huh... I always assumed that crab was Klutzy... Honestly they should’ve just rolled with it because “Puffle Howitzer” honestly was my favorite out of the repertoire you showed here!

I have a few suggestions on what I think you should cover in the future of these series: - St. Patrick's Day party (Considering that this day is approaching, I would like to see it next) - Thin Ice - Puffle Party - Marvel Superhero Takeover 2012 (Considering that was the last time you made music for Club Penguin, I think it should be way in the future as a conclusion of this series) - Brown Puffle Cave (Wilderness expedition 2011) - The Stage (If you happened to have done stage play music, I suggest all of those you've done should be in one video)

Puffle howitzer could be a fight theme and Puffle Bullet could be a bossfight theme in cardjitsu shadow (if it was ever released). But then boss bullet heard like an epf soundtrack and boss bullet success hears like a success and puffle coaster 1 hears like a concert but puffle coaster 2 hears like sled racing but in a VOLCANO.

Did you also composed the music for better days the song that plays at the iceberg during the music jam 2011?

[@ChrisHendricks]

I did! That one was an interesting challenge, because they wanted something that could be legitimately played by a rock band, but they wanted each penguin band member to use the instrument they actually play, which meant I had to come up with something for the guy that played the accordion. Fun. :)
