Hello everyone,
We’d like to share a sneak peek of our upcoming FM Sound Update, which is currently in development!
🎧 Classic YM2612 Sound Returns
We’re recreating all in-game tracks using the YM2612 (OPN2) FM sound chip, faithfully capturing the warmth and sharp tone that defined the 8-bit and 16-bit eras.
Our goal is not just conversion — it’s a full re-arrangement that honors the original feel while leveraging the expressive power of FM synthesis.
The FM Sound Update will be released as a free update for all players.
🔊 Current Progress
OPN2 implementation: Done
FM Version Completed: 67%
The FM Sound Mode will be freely switchable in the options menu, allowing you to compare it directly with the original wavetable version during gameplay.
🧑💻 Developer’s Comment
Our biggest challenge is recreating the YM2612’s warm midrange and rich LFO movement.
We’re carefully tuning each track to keep the spirit of the originals while adding that distinctive FM drive.
