Ah yes. Retro Video Game themes. "Retro" has basically become it's own genre because the style itself is that noticeable and iconic. Retro Video Game Themes have always struck a chord with me (no pun intended). Part of it is definitely from the nostalgia factor, but it's hard to deny these songs had a ton of love and talent put into them. A lot of them tend to transcend the era they were born in with remixes, remakes, etc. Retro Video Game Themes not only make me fond of the games from my childhood, it also brings back memories of those close to me. Growing up playing games with my dad is a super early memory I'd like to never forget. It's thanks to all these experiences that I even have this career. That's why I bought this new program and decided to test it out with all of you! Anyways, this is "Attempting to Make a Retro Video Game Theme in One Night". I hope you enjoy!

On a scale of "My family is slain" to "My family is good", what is your mood today?
Isteak80 My family is only slightly maimed
My mood is Itachi Uchiha :o
My family has 10 stubbed toes each
My slain is good
My good is slain
Note: doot
Shady: E X T E N D
Note: Dooooooooooot
Doot. Dododoot. Dododoot.
At this point I’m convinced that shady’s the type of person to make a song out of a fire alarm
Oh wait....
He already did lol
Hey! You, I want some help, you see... the program he's using is called cubase, I want to know 2 things if you can do it... Which version is this and is it free?
And I agree with your comment. :D
@@megalampada2372 - I actually don't know sorry 🤔🤔🤪😕😟😟😟😟
@@grizzlyrider6original70 Well, I understand! :D
Next song has got to be that frogcore! Would be interesting to emulate a voice
Frog/Opera Soprano duet.
Making that frog sing would be great !! Put it with the theremin (ghost voice instrument) and create the perfect witchy/Halloween duo
I used to friggin love Twizzlers up 'till my late teens. But then I guess my taste buds woke up and went "YO. HOL'UP. You LIKE these?! NOT ON MY TONGUE."
Oh man, I swear the same thing happened to me too! :'D humans are weird
@@Shadycicada why tho! XD
Yeah dude, mouth was suddenly like, "why you put plastic in me"..
@@Elanau Trudat!
Never been a fan of twirlers, guess my tongue was always awake to the truth, the truth that gummy worms are supreme
Wait, I just realised if you look at the time....
HE'S RECORDING AT THREE AM
Near the start anyway
Who records videos at 3am?
Shady: Oh boy! 3am!
So that’s why he sounds a little more dead inside
He finished at 6 lol
3 hours long recording, makes sense he's taking a month off
"Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's cursed, sometimes it's all of them together"
Shady Cicada 2020
Damn straight
Shady at 6am: it's getting late
Ya think?
it's so late it's early
Unless your a vampire
Unless your in a different timezone
Shady, sometimes you're a bit too critical of yourself! This song is bangin'!
I'm so glad you like it! :)
"A skeleton might pop out and do skeleton things."
-Shady Cicada, 2020
I love these chill videos where we get to see your thought process! I wouldn’t be against seeing more of this
They're my favorite commentary videos to make, so there will definitely be more!
I'm gonna need a game with all of Shady's music in it immediately,
all of his “how to make a _______ song” videos in his video game music playlist is the ost of the game he wants to make in the future
Shady: [Announces in the video what software he's using for this video]
Random commenter: sHaDy WhAt SoFtWaRe Do YoU uSe FoR tHiS
In all seriousness, great job as usual! You seriously never cease to impress!
It might be interesting to have Shady learn a program that follows retro music limitations directly (like Famitracker). Tends to sound better or at least more a u t h e n t i c imo.
Def be cool to see him do something with FamiTracker like how he did the thing with Chrome Music Lab
Famistudio might be a bit easier to get into
O shit I didn't even know FamiStudio existed. I generally use trackers but it's actually really cool to see a DAW for this, might try it out sometime. Thank you for inadvertently alerting me of its existence.
I thought that my sleeping habits got bad since I went to college, but then I see this absolute mad lad going to town and making a song at 3:30 in the morning.
You sir, are truly a role model for all undetermined artists.
This would be great for the end of a game!!
We need you to make a song out of the timer sound
...in ten minutes
And then he won't be able to tell when the challenge ends
@@milesgoering3755
Nah, once he maps it to the keyboard it'll sound pretty distinct. If nothing else the rise and fall will probably get chopped in two.
Best 10-bit music I've ever heard, reminded me of 8-bit horses, but why a skeleton pop out and showed me off some calcium?
“The princess has been taken from the castle”
This is Luke the perfect mix of megeman, Kirby, and undertale music
Gosh, each time I watch a video of yours I just want to stop everything and write music... If your videos are anything to me, then they're really inspirational!
Thank you for your awesome content :D
ever since you mentioned chipsounds on your stream ive been waiting for this, and you absolutely killed it. keep up the good work shady
Because in reality, music is just “Something like that.”
Kirby has entered perfect sphere mode. Nothing can save you now
When I Got The Email That You Released On Bandcamp I Was Like: *Demonic Screaming*
The song Is Really Good Btw
this is so good, that it could even be a snails house song
My dude, good to see ya back. Hopefully ya doing alright. I know how burn out can effect a person entire personality. Just so ya know. We always supporting you fam (dont let me ever use that term again) and be right here. Other than that, how ya family? I hope they aren't slain.
I like this one, the arpeggios really fill out the song and make it interesting.
...btw, I assume you''re very busy, and it's no big deal, but I uploaded my first song a few days ago. It's called Melon Sea, and I'd be very happy to hear any opinions on it :)
Is your name a joke on Blue Öyster Cult?
@@nickspencer2207 Yes!
@blue cheese cult
Nice! They’re my favorite!
Guys, this guy's song is pretty good.
@Max Lazenby I do as well, but I don't trust the internet enough to post it.
You should do full tutorials for all the different aspects of a DAW
wasn’t looking at the screen When you actually deleted the notes and i was like, wow that was actually three houses theme
I rewind back to listen again and see you got it too lmao, brilliant
This time on Shady Cicada:
What if Shovel Knight was an anime?
Shady, remember Chrome Music Lab?
There's an online game called Plink! The link is Plink.in
Have fun
herodude : D literally spent 2 hours on it
Super late but I enjoyed the edge of dawn reference, that game has been consuming my soul since release so any bit about it is hilarious to me. Really though keep up the good work, I appreciate every minute of content you post!
“Let me finish this up, it’s getting late..”
Clock: 6:02 A.M.
Nice.
Shady I praise that you make 1 million of Subscribes
And just like that, every kid in the arcade knew which game was the best
This is giving me hardcore VVVVVV vibes. It's very positive force and predestined fate-esque
When you started to "anime it up a bit" it sounded like it would be a theme song from Boku No Hero Academia
Great When Played In The Background of Almost Anything
this definitely sounds like it belongs in a 2000s keygen program (this is a good thing)
Him: my family was slain.
The level: I have slain my family
Dang, I have to subscribe at this point. I really like it, despite a few moments of "theme confusion". Strings were not my thing, but the rest is absolutely banging!!
Ima need to see more WOOD WOOD next time. :(
Me dropping in just to like the vid so I remember to watch it later cause I’m getting ready for work and don’t have time to actually watch.
9:32 why am I laughing so hard xD
Enjoyed watching every second of this video! lookin forward to the next on:)
This is beautiful. I would play any game that had this song as the battle theme
"It's getting late"
Clock:6AM
I could see this as like a fast paced metroid type sci-fi platformer
He is making a game I can sense it.
Man shady I still love your videos so much !
You really helped me work on my own music AND content a lot ! Thank you for that 💖
Shady cicada making music makes me think of Detective Conan. Tone Deaf AF when singing yet has perfect pitch some how.
Amazing video as always, good to see you back, hope you're doing alright !
bro ur acc so talented. underrated af, i’ve been listening to u for a few years and ur songs are fire
How does it work that your music gives me goosebumps and gets me so inspired? Great stuff.
I got notification after 23 minutes, its your record, CZcams!
5:24 oh yeeeeeaaaahh he had a little belly extruding from the bottom and on his legs xD I remember the gba days good days good days
This made my day thanks!
HOLY COW! How do you just DO this like it's not a big deal, if I tried sitting down and doing something like this I would probably only get as far as the arpegios drums and bass.
Man I need to do music more often...
This is amazing
This song makes me want to run and Adventure omg. Good job shadycicadia!! I always love drawing to your videos. And listening to the process. I grew up w music but my dad left the picture before he could teach me it + I wasn't able to finish school and head out on a career path, but art and modelling has done me wonders!
Stay safe!
Sounds great. Really gives my disbelief papyrus vibes
Duuude.. I'm a bit stoney, but I just got the idea that you working with Brendon Urie would be awesome. Like.. "tear the fabric of space and time" awesome..
Like, my very soul would feel the awesome, melding every thought and feeling from every alternate reality into those 3+ heavenly minutes..
Haha
Sorry
Shady your music is a godsend
I like videos like this, it'd like challenge videos and how to videos but doesn't limit you to either a timer or not talking! Keep it up!
Technically he made a masterpiece overnight
Best Shady song yet!!
By far the best shady cicada song
Dude this is sweet
In Kirby's second game, one of the first copy abilities make Kirby a ball
You know it's a good harmony when it gives you goosebumps.
Props to shady for staying up till 6 to make the song (also did the chorus bit remind anyone of the sailer moon intro)
for some reason his videos make me want to make music... and I like it :3
It sounds awesome.
HEH! I expected both plottwists! On the song this time. At first I was reaaally skeptical. Like, that first rhythm didn't work at all, and was so loud that I couldn't even hear the gallopp. But that lead sounded really awesome, even some of the parts that I think you deleted. Came to like it really fast.
You are a genius!
This is an amazing song! It kinda reminds me of one of my favourite sonic levels:flying battery
0:36
Did you just... Did you just say "SEGA Master Drive"?
So it turns out I meant to say Sega Master System lol! I never owned any of the consoles, so I get the names mixed up sometimes :'D My apologies!
Ah yes, the world's favourite 12-bit console by SEGA; the SEGA Master Drive.
(I actually thought it was quite funny).
@@Shadycicada AH, I see. I couldn't tell if you meant the Master System or if you meant the Genesis/ Mega Drive.
@@kyoobqa the master drive and the mega system, the game computer and the family boy
8:50 I got serious bloody stream flashbacks from that lil' melody...
14:38 Break through
This is pretty awesome. Kinda reminds me of Battle for Olympus on the NES
Awesome video :)
YESSSS FINALLY
Dude you have absolutely no idea how much I love chiptune! Thank you so, so much!
One of the few channels where I sub with the bell on the first vid and the only one where I did it before the video was even halfway
It is an honor... to be the 507th subscriber to the gaming channel.
This is actually such a lil retro BOP
This remember me...
frums - caprice me
Bamboozled again! Hah!
GOD I LOVE THISSSS
This is so good, i want to cry
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
@15:52 - "Reel 'em in with that harmony!"
@16:19 - Reel 'em in with that SOLO!
i really have so much recommandation on my youtube videos from you.....and this is goooooood. i really start to visit more often and if my subscription space is getting a place for a sub i will do it soon xD.
Ah yes, existence
2:46 SO FOKIN CUTE O MY GOD
i would kill to have his talent
this would not be out of place in the Megaman Battle Network games... utter SLAPPAGE
This song reminds me of punch-out's theme
this song is sounding like the OSTs from Kirby and Mega Man had the best possible child and I love it :D
can't wait for the frogcore video
Now I want to make a retro game!
