Composing for fellow DSU Students game "Arcana"

I recently created a piano track for one of my piano courses. It was a simple midi track of just piano. I posted it on Soundcloud with little hopes of it going anywhere. About 10 minutes later it was being added to on of my friends video games entitled "Arcana." When I wrote the song I was going through kind of a rough time and got stuck in the writing process about halfway through. My day got a lot better eventually and I picked up the song again and finished it. It starts slow and solemn  almost hopeless, and then picks up. As the song picks up there is a sense of confidence growing. It hits its peak and then the confidence quickly dissipates. This caught the eye of the team creating the game and according to them it fits the mood of the game perfectly.

The song will be re-recorded, mixed, and mastered in the future (When I have free time).

Here is a video of the song being used in game. (It will eventually be split into stems to fit the game as it needs to)
