Full Soundtrack Rework + Portuguese Translation Update

What's up, guys!
Today I bring you a really cool update: The entire soundtrack for Living in a Brothel has been reworked and the work on the game's music is completely finished.
Furthermore, the Portuguese translation has been updated to include all content produced so far. (End of Beatrice's sex scene)
Let's take a look at each topic below.


Original Arrangements

An additional 22 songs composed by other authors received an Original Arrangement made exclusively for the game Living in a Brothel.
I had already published in a previous post that 19 songs composed by other authors had received an Original Arrangement. You can check it out here: https://subscribestar.adult/posts/2198278

Furthermore, I also composed 14 original songs exclusively for this game.
12 of the original songs can be found in the same post above, in addition to the songs below which were posted in different posts:

  1. It's Party Time - Mastur Bar: https://subscribestar.adult/posts/2225799
    2. I'm Not Understanding - Mastur Bar: https://subscribestar.adult/posts/2262127

The final result consists of 41 Original Arrangements of songs composed by other authors plus 14 Original Songs, resulting in a total of 55 songs made exclusively for this game.

I've used music composed by major royalty-free music producers, such as: Kevin Macleod, Bryan Teoh, Alexander Nakarada, and Rafael Krux.
Their music is of excellent quality, but because it's royalty-free, you've probably already heard it somewhere on the internet.
Despite this, since some of the songs were created years ago, the audio quality wasn't as good as that of studio albums.

Taking this into account, I wanted to improve these aspects to deliver a professional music experience in the final product.
The first aspect I wanted to address was originality. Although the music composed by these authors is of good quality, I wanted to add my own touch to the music that would go into the final version, so that the music would carry the spirit of my game.
The second aspect I wanted to address was sound quality. I decided to create my own arrangements to deliver quality similar to professional studio albums.
My versions feature stereo audio, where you can clearly hear all the instruments in the tracks.
In addition, in some tracks I included my own unique instrument combinations, solos, and musical phrases to ensure the exceptional and unique sound quality I sought for the final version of the game, as I know the importance of music in creating the right atmosphere for each scene in terms of keeping the player as immersed as possible.

15 songs composed by other authors were kept in their original state, as I felt that these tracks already possessed really good quality and already conveyed the desired atmosphere for the scenes in which they are played, so I decided that it was not necessary to create my own versions of them.

Considering the above, I declare that all work involving the musical aspect of the game is complete and that the soundtrack has been fully reworked.
The game will contain 70 songs in its final version.
In the Steam version, there will be 69 songs, since a scene ("Commercial") was cut to meet Steam's requirements.
I feel that, with these 70 songs, I will be able to convey the desired atmosphere for all the scenes that will be included in the game in future versions until the development of the final version.
In addition, this is a considerable amount of songs, especially when compared to other Adult Visual Novels, which often don't even have music.

You can hear a snippet of each of these 22 Original Arrangements in the video attached to this post.

The songs that received an Original Arrangement were:

  1. Dispersion Relation - Kevin Macleod
  2. Downtown Boogie - Bryan Teoh
  3. Eternity - Kevin Macleod
  4. Funky Chunk - Kevin Macleod
  5. Fuzzball Parade - Kevin Macleod
  6. Hep Cats - Kevin Macleod
  7. Hold on a Sec - Bryan Teoh
  8. Honey Bee - Kevin Macleod
  9. Intractable - Kevin Macleod
  10. Jazz Brunch - Kevin Macleod
  11. Lobby Time - Kevin Macleod
  12. Matt's Blue - Kevin Macleod
  13. Mining By Moonlight - Kevin Macleod
  14. Nile's Blues - Kevin Macleod
  15. Opportunity Walks - Kevin Macleod
  16. Private Eye - Kevin Macleod
  17. Shaving Mirror - Kevin Macleod
  18. Stringed Disco - Kevin Macleod
  19. Take the Ride - Bryan Teoh
  20. Whiskey on the Mississippi - Kevin Macleod
  21. Who Likes to Party - Kevin Macleod
  22. Your Call - Kevin Macleod

You can find the timestamp for each of them in the video's comments section on YouTube.

The song "Your Call" by Kevin Macleod has been included in its entirety in the video, so you can check that the songs are perfectly loopable and seamless, so they can keep playing infinitely for as long as the scene lasts.

I hope you enjoy the final result of the soundtrack, as this is exactly what will be used in the final version of the game.


Portuguese Translation Update

I know this topic interests only a small portion of you, since the majority of the audience are English speakers, but this is a necessary step to complete before the release of the next version, considering that I also offer Portuguese language in the game's options, so let's talk a little about it.

Although most of the content so far consists of Beatrice's sex scene, it has a lot of text, since the duration from the beginning of Episode 5 to the end of Beatrice's sex scene is approximately 50 minutes of gameplay.

That's quite a lot of text, so I decided to work on translating this part right away to get it out of the way.
So please know that all the content from v0.5.0 produced so far has already been translated into Portuguese, leaving the way clear to work on new content.


Well, I had a lot of things to show you, so the post ended up being a bit long, but I hope you enjoy the news and the almost 30-minute preview video.
That's all for today,
Cheers! 🍻
