As we mentioned in a previous update, we have some extra community achievements to announce. Well, today's the day!
OSE Month Community Achievements
First up, what's a community achievement? It's an extra reward tied to the success of OSE Month as a whole. In this case, we're looking at the total funding level across all 17 OSE Month projects. Here's what we have in store:
$425,000 total funding: When we reach a total of $425,000 across all OSE Month projects, we'll unlock an extra reward for all backers: a 4 track hellscape soundtrack! This will be a digital download made available in BackerKit when ready. More details on the soundtrack below.
$525,000 total funding: At this funding level, we'll expand the soundtrack to a total of 6 tracks.
$625,000 total funding: And finally, at this funding level, we'll expand the soundtrack to a total of 8 tracks.
The Hellscape Soundtrack
The Demonic Grimoire details 8 planes of hell, each ruled over by a mighty demon lord. (Check out the image below for a preview of all 8 of these fiendish overlords.) We thought it'd be amazing to have an atmospheric music track to accompany each of these abyssal dimensions! The cracking ice and howling winds of Zonth... The clanging footsteps and screams of Carcerus... The squelching dissolution of Oblivex.
To make this a reality, we've lined up a roster of 8 musicians, each of whom will be assigned to sojourn in one of the realms of hell, and, upon returning, record their experiences in musical form. Here are the foolhardy souls we'll be sending on this accursed quest:
Far Monastery AI (Note: this artist's name refers to a story element of their mythos, it does not mean their music is AI generated. See their BandCamp page for the background story.)
Check out the list of participating projects and see if there's any additional projects you'd like to back to keep the total pushing towards unlocking. Every dollar pledged to any of the projects goes towards unlocking the hellscape soundtrack!
Now, feast your eyes — if you dare — on the rulers of the abyssal planes...
Note that the funding goal on the achievements page is in currently in NOK instead of USD. We are working with BackerKit to get this corrected, apologies for any confusion!
