I think you just hit the pause button? If you’re in a safe area it doesn’t matter too much though. I didn’t play the old might and magic games, but Legend of Grimrock 2 has some of my favorite gaming memories from adulthood. The puzzle aspects are some of my favorite parts of it so idk if that says you one way or another.

Anyone here using the VCMI project? Really impressive what they’ve done

Instead of the melodies, break down the chord progressions used.

Listen to the types of sounds used. If synths, play around with creating ones that invoke similar feelings to the ones used in the game you’re inspired by. I really like Helm personally and find you can do tons with it. You can look for other free vst’s too if you are looking for real instruments. If you have infinite time and a desire to learn, vcv rack can do almost anything.

As for DAWs, if you’re looking for one, I like reaper for it’s affordability but you need to just weigh your needs and what different products offer.

They’re unfortunately terrible tasting though. I like sour stuff and the sour isn’t the problem. The other flavors of The candy is bad.

Maybe it inspired him to get back on the horse, but it looks like his other work to me. Within a Deep First is still one of my all time greats. Played it again last year. I’m excited to hear about this game
