This was one of the first theme-based pieces I wrote, and the bravado meets march vibe proved to be a good fit for a "collect the spoils" type of level. I also like to think there's a little bit of Morricone influence in this piece ... a bit of a swagger similar to something in a Spaghetti Western movie.
It's childhood. It's a beautiful soundtrack. It's nostalgia. It's still getting jumpscared by cave noises at 2AM, because you're still playing this damn game 10 years later. It's Minecraft! devin_s
