Synthwave Is Coming!

Hello Everyone,

it's time for us to tease you for our next big update. One thing that has been missing from Rainbow Reactor so far was our idea to have the music synched to the action. Finally, we are almost ready to release this great new addition. With nine music tracks, one for each work shift, you'll be able to groove along to the beat and get a feeling for when it's time to grab the next chroma ball off the rails, even without looking!

The challenge for us to get everyone into the groove was to find a style of music that is somewhat funky without being too aggressive and has a clear rhythm without being overly monotonous. Combine that with the requirement to match Rainbow Reactor's eclectic visual style that revolves around '80s Arcade Culture and Cyberpunk. Of course there can only be one answer to all this: Synthwave!

Here's a sample track, coming hot from the studio of our composer Karumatsu Akawa:

We know most of you guys will be busy watching TV tonight, so we'll take some more time to fine-tune the release of this groundbreaking addition to Rainbow Reactor. Please note that the synched music will conclude the list of things we wanted to achieve for the game, so we will be going out of Early Access soon. If you're reading this and do not own the game yet, keep in mind that there will be a significant price hike once the game is fully released. Also, we are currently working on a special surprise for all Early Access Adopters, so now could be the best time to join the ranks of the Rainbow Factory Workers!

Do not worry though, even after the Early Access Phase has concluded, Rainbow Reactor will be supported with updates and new features … until long after the Threat From The North will have been repelled. Or will it?!? [SPOILERS!!!]

p.s.: Did you know that our graphics aces Tom Hiebler and Henrik Zähringer contributed fantastic artworks to "Unseen Westeros"? Fans of the seven kingdoms who do not know about this art book & exhibition yet should ask their favourite search engine about it :lunar2019coolpig:
