In this song, I speak about the average new player experience in a game called Rainworld. The lyrics in the song represent the hardships that a new player experiences during their first play through. For this piece, I looked back on my , and others, first experience playing Rainworld and took all those experiences and turned it into a song. I used Adobe Audition to create the song, and the song is sung to Miracle Music’s The Mind Electric. Looking back, it was a good idea not to use my initial idea as it would’ve sounded much worse and had less personal meaning to me. The focus of my piece is to explain the average rainworld experience and the difficulty of the game. For context, Rainworld is a 2d platformer game set in an active ecosystem. The game has a VERY high learning curve and an 88 page community-created movement guide. The point of my song is to tell people the struggle that people have faced in Rainworld and hopefully get some people to try the game out. The main struggle I had while writing this song was how to get the lyrics to flow with the music and finding a song to sing it to. I chose The Mind Electric because it's a song that I enjoy and I felt like the tone of the song fitted my initial experience with Rainworld. I think the only thing I would change is some of the lyrics. I forced some of the lyrics to work and I kind of wish I would have changed my wording.
