🎥 Kaizopocalypse Cover Art Timelapse: yewtu.be/watch?v=A8F3LXQ8zV4
Kaizopocalypse began production on February 2, 2023 and was finished on December 20, 2023. It's inspired by kaizo games - a subgenre of games, usually platformer, that are extremely difficult and require perfect precision and even use glitches to dodge past an overkill amount of obstacles! More information about kaizo game design: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizo
My biggest inspirations for this track were Kaizo Mario levels, especially tool-assisted speed runs such as Item Abuse 3 by PangaeaPanga (yewtu.be/watch?v=JuZMvMtZCWU) and the stunning speedrunning tactics for Super Mario 64 as shown by pannenkoek2012 (pannenkoek2012.fandom.com/wiki/The_pannenkoek2012_Wikia:Home) and Ukikipedia (ukikipedia.net/wiki/Main_Page). All of these have had huge influences on OpDaMyZr! Plus, there's just something so satisfying about watching a character dodge so many obstacles yet not lose a life.
As for this track's musical inspiration, it's my own style of "power electro" drum and bass music combined with elements of glitch hop and dubstep. It was inspired by Pegboard Nerds, Dream of Omnimaga, and Skrillex!
As for my mastering, I think it continues to improve. I deliberately put off exporting this track as a WAV and MP3 file for a night so I could make some minor tweaks the next morning which I think really helped. It was challenging to make (much like a kaizo video game level!), but so rewarding to see the final result!
