Just played part 1, and I am beyond speechless, truly deserves the 96% rating it got although 100 would be more exact, the game is unique experience and the 80s style techno music just makes the experience that much the more awesome.

[@Darklogic112358]

As far as Doom TC's go, Ashes is the GOAT, and the soundtrack is a big part of that.

[@gennoveus]

Without hyperbole, one of the greatest FPSs of all time. The music does some serious heavy lifting in giving the ashes games their incredible atmosphere, and the soundtracks deserve to join the likes of Unreal and Deus Ex as the best game soundtracks ever made. Really amazing work, John!

[@JohnSWeekley]

The Unreal soundtrack is one of my most favorite soundtracks, thank you so much for the kind words!

[@TheHalflingLad]

It's like the soundscape of a John Carpenter movie that only exists in our collective imagination. Pitch perfect for what Ashes is accomplishing!

[@BorNeoProg]

This game NEEDS to get a standalone release on Steam. :/

[@jcdenton6427]

I agree with that but the thing is there is lots of borrowed assets from build games and as much as I love this game it's a bit rough, unpolished or unfinished in some places (talking about maps, gameplay is goated boomer shooter). Plus there is still few expansions and 3rd episode to come.

@@jcdenton6427 they'd have to make new sprites from scratch but im fine with it

[@ryanholt7452]

I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but ‘Tension’ reminds me a lot of ‘Suspense’ from doom 1 once it gets going, I love it!

[@JohnSWeekley]

Very intentional :D "Tension" is even a synonym to "Suspense"!

[@alexanderadamovskij5491]

There is a lot of references to Doom soundtrack and different movies, had to stop while playing to listen, because it made me smile. This game wouldn't have been this good without this soundtrack.

[@moffxanatos6376]

48:12 perfect ambience for the situation, especially ramping up the tension and the sound in synch with the countdown as my directionally challenged self frantically searches for that last pump while trying not to panic before the sealing melts away (and my skin shortly after)

[@matteste]

Man, was not ready when Vinaya dropped. All of a sudden we went from atmospheric synthwave to something you'd normally expect out of some kind of JRPG final boss. Of course, I am all here for it.

Undercity is my favorite track by far. and Ashes is my favourite Doom TCM. it's just the best. Brutal Doom is good, Hell on Earth is great, but Ashes is just far and away the best.

[@mikulascernak7320]

The track "Ambush!" is the perfect soundtrack for an 80`s post-apo horror fantasy!

The best part about Tension is when the bit from E1M5 Suspense kicks in. My eyes brightened up so much when I was playing and heard that. It's my favorite track in DOOM and it reminded me that I was playing a mod for one of the greatest games of all time. Back in the Game is definitely my favorite track from this album though. Did you intend for it to be the 'star' of Afterglow? By the way, I noticed the guitar in this upload is different than the one used in the game. I gotta say, I really prefer the rawness of that version haha. But I digress. Thank you very much for your amazing music, Ashes wouldn't be even half the experience it is without you composing for it.

[@JohnSWeekley]

Tension is just one big E1M5 reference 😄With some D2 Map25 and Terminator bits. I wanted "Back in the Game" to be that big opener to get the player going, and I'm so happy it seems to have succeeded in that and then some! The album version was originally intended to be in the game, but never really made it in for one reason or another (it was sorta updated late, so maybe that's why).

@@darassylmoniakam ashes is very well put together TC. generally the gaming public at large think brutal doom and the ports to eclectic platforms are the pinnacle of the doom modding community. besides I also mentioned HND and HD. two fantastic mods that more people should give a try.

@@Underqualified_Gunman it still doesnt beat brutal doom

[@SEDATEDSlothRecords6083]

So my opinion on that is that Ashes is really a titan. Its not only one of the best ZDoom TC but also one of the most inspiring games in general. Toooo much aesthetic, love for details and solidness. Beside that if it comes to immersion I can only compare it with Gothic (bigger game and different style. Its my personal favourite of all time).

[@Underqualified_Gunman]

@@SEDATEDSlothRecords6083 i'd reccomend trying out hideous destructor sometime very few TC mods for doom can make the entire game feel and flow so differently. i'd reccomend watching some of fort of hard knox's videos on some of the mechanics. if HD released as a game it'd be my favorite tactical shooter of the year.
