I’m scoring a Dangarompa-inspired visual novel and need a short set of original tracks that instantly place players on a sun-soaked island while still carrying Masafumi Takada’s unmistakable, slightly quirky edge.
The music will appear in two spots: the main menu / intro screen, where it should feel welcoming yet mysterious, and the downtime segments between investigations, where it needs to stay chilled but never sleepy. Think warm tropical air, gentle surf, vinyl hiss, and that signature Danganronpa swing.

Core palette
• Lo-fi treated piano is the anchor—dusty, slightly detuned, plenty of character.
• Subtle tropical colour (light congas, soft steel-drum motifs, or airy guitar harmonics) may sit behind the piano, but only if it keeps the mix relaxed and uncluttered.
• I’m open to additional texture layers (field recordings, tape warble, soft synth pads) as long as they don’t overpower the laid-back vibe.

What I’d like delivered
• Two seamless-loop WAV tracks: one for the menu (approx. 2 min loop) and one for relaxation scenes (approx. 3 min loop).
• Individual stems for each instrument so I can rebalance later in-engine.
• A short 5–10 sec sting built from the menu theme for UI transitions.
• Simple mastering to game-ready loudness (-14 LUFS or similar).

Acceptance check
1. Melodic language unmistakably nods to Takada’s Danganronpa scores while remaining original.
2. Tropical elements enhance, never distract.
3. Loops play for ten minutes without noticeable repetition or clicks.
4. All files delivered at 48 kHz / 24-bit WAV plus MP3 previews.

If this sounds like the sonic vacation you’d love to craft, let’s talk process and timelines right away.
