The creator of Stardew Valley has revealed music from his much anticipated follow up title, Haunted Chocolatier, during a livestream that was all about composing music.
In what became a very sudden exclusive for Reason Studios (thanks PCGamer), Eric Barone (better known as ConcernedApe) decided to play ‘Bee Boss’ while chatting. The audio can be heard at 1:37:13 in the stream, below.
The track features a typically funky rhythm with retro-styled synths and drum pads, while also having a distinctly “spooky” feel to it, which goes with the “haunted” part of the game’s name.
In the live chat, people were loving the song, saying it reminded them of Luigi’s Mansion, or an Undertale boss. After a minute or so, Barone stopped the track saying “then it just goes back to a loop”.
The host asked Barone on behalf of the chat whether it’s a “bee” boss, or “B boss”, whereby Barone played the opening which sounded very much like a buzzing saying “I think this answers your question, right?”. Later on in the stream he even showed the sound bank he used, which was called “Stoned Bees”.
“I found it by going to Reason sounds and then textures,” he added, “I typed in bee, maybe to see if there was anything that sounded right, and that was kinda perfect”. This also reveals that there will be boss fights of some kind in , which wasn’t known until now.
