Hi, I'm Nathan. I am a studying games developer since about December 2005. I have always had a passion for games, I have always played games, and have always dreamt of creating my own games one day and so now I am working towards that dream. Currently I work alone, and am studying just about all aspects of games development. I plan to keep working alone as long as possible until I am financially secure enough that I can start up a large studio and hire other team members to work on higher quality AAA titles. I am currently working towards creating a mod for the Cryengine which I won't disclose any details for just yet(Details to come when the mod is finished or near finished). The images on my profile may hint at what this project may be about however ;) And I really don't know what else to say without rambling.

I love the menacing sound of the heavy guitar and drums. I was wondering though why you had the piano and the guitar both playing in unison for a period with out any other accompaniment?

Which part is it :P, there are several parts in the song that only the guitar and piano play.
I think you're talking about at 2:52 until 3:00 yeh?

If so, that's just a part of the buildup, do you have any suggestions for that part, I'm probably not going to work on the song much more since it was just a random track I decided to do and for the past 2-3 months or more, i've just had no musical creativity (it just comes and goes unfortunately).
Any constructive crits are definately welcome :)
So thankyou for your comments :)

~3:25 to 3:55 and ~4:50 to 5:00...now that I go through it again. lol I should have been more organized in my comment.

The piano and guitar I think are in unison there (correct me if I'm wrong I'm still honing my skills of interval recognition :( )
I'd recommend avoiding that unless you keep it well supported by another part. as both parts are moving in unison, they both move in the same direction at the same time witch isn't exactly exiting but more importantly it unbalances the piece.

So my main concern is really for the balance, be careful not to have too many voices all going down a or up at the same time with out a another voice moving in the opposite direction or not moving.

and if that doesn't make sense feel free to ignore it...

sounds like you're talkin bout some hot, nasty counterpoint action, fellah.

Lets just say I'm a fan also.

Perhaps if your rhythmically offset your voices that might be a good starting point to begin experimenting with independent lines?

Ah yeh, it does make sense to me, really the only thing I can think of right now (while i'm not so musically creative) is that I would need something else in the background, almost to distract from or mask the unison of the piano and guitar.
