Episode Summary
In today's episode, I'm making two little riffs that I think will be background music for the pixelart Rocketeer game I've been working on. One is a little somber piece to accompany the "RIP" scene when Cliff kicks the bucket. I've made a serious one here, but I thought I might vary what is written on the gravestone to reflect what you did, if I can figure out how to do that. Like, for example, if you blew yourself up with a grenade, the gravestone might read, "Cliff Secord, 1911 - 1936, chowderhead."https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2026/03/09/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-552-and-like-a-hood-ornament-94-updates-on-the-rocketeer-vs-the-third-reich-video-game-7/The second riff is probably the verse to some kind of ending song, while the credits play. I was undecided on whether to do any music with words in it, but this one came to me one day (while driving, naturally), and I thought it might fit. If not, then for a future Thirteenth Hour soundtrack. But since the game is really about Cliff going to rescue Peevy, I thought it could be a song about friendship, mentorship, or maybe the love fathers have for their sons (since Peevy is a kind of father figure to Cliff). More to come next week!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD! It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music. (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)
