Ooh, thanks for much for fulfilling my request! I love that you created two tracks! That duality you mention is one of my favorite things about these goddesses. This is awesome. I really enjoyed both. Been listening to them on loop for a while and they're lovely. I will definitely have to make a Greco-Roman inspired game now. I have been planning to for years and this music would be perfect for it. I'm not sure when, because right now I have three simultaneous projects going on (one of them with your music! I should have finished it last year, ouch), but at some point I will. As to what I'm working on: right now, I'm finishing with my teammate a demo of a true Game Boy game (featuring my own music!), we plan on showcasing the demo publicly next month and releasing the final version of the game before the end of the year. Cool stuff. It's also a game about myths and ancient civilizations, but in this case it's fantasy ones, entirely made up. I've always been a Game Boy fan, so making a real Game Boy game in 2023 is being a blast. Then we'll resume another project, this one for PC, that we've been working on for more than a year, with music made by both of us. And THEN I also have a personal project on the back-burner, featuring your music, a short pixel-art "creepypasta-horror" game I think I mentioned at some point, that I should have finished last year but couldn't because my job was insane. And after that I have many more projects I want to tackle, and many planned and unplanned uses for your music. We'll get to those sooner or later, I hope. No matter how much we plan, the future is a mystery... Never played Diablo myself. I've been wanting to play Assassin's Creed Odyssey for a while, because of the Greco-Roman setting (never played an Assassin's Creed game either, so I'm intrigued), but I've been putting it off because it's one of these games that takes over your life, and I just don't have the time. Hopefully, eventually, I'll get there. Thanks as always for your music. My best wishes to you!

Awesome! Missed a couple of last posts, but glad to see Athena getting a couple of tracks too (she's my favourite goddess too). As for any other suggestions of gods - maybe some Egyptian deities? Anubis, Horus, Osiris, etc. Or if we're still keeping to Greek ones, Artemis is a nice one to go for, as she's the goddess of hunting and wildlife. Could be something mixed in with sounds of nature and animals, like a forest full with nature's sounds. Oh, Titan Quest. Yeah, spent a few hundred hours on the original game back in the day and made a tonne of video guides on Youtube on each class build and let's plays through the whole game. Ahah. (Still getting people commenting on them to this day). Loved the depictions of mythical creatures and locations in it. Rock and metal music is always nice. Looking forward to it. As for what I'd like to see (hear) based on what I have planned in the future, perhaps some sort of mysterious or otherworldly sci-fi-sounding tunes would be great, particularly for building tension or a sense of mystery or a sort of melancholy emotion. I want to set my next game in a purgatory, but not a dark fantasy style of purgatory, but something that looks closer to a modern-day cyberpunk setting with some dark fantasy concepts mixed in.

Almost forgot. Will throw in my vote for more sound effects (in case you're considering making any packs on those). It's amazing how much I find myself needing them and how helpful your sound effects packs end up being.

I'm saving Egypt for its own full pack at some point. It's such a rich mythology and one with it's own distinct character that it ought to have a more thorough treatment. I'll work in some more sci-fi ambience coming up. Cyberpunk purgatory sounds like... being trapped in an old Circuit City store for an eternity and they're all out of stock on anything but Windows 95 computers and Celine Dion CDs. Hopefully your version is not as terrifying as that. Titan Quest 2... ugh there are so many games I'd like to play and lack the several hundred hours necessary to do so. Maybe I should retire.

Wow, you have a very ambitious slate of projects lined up! I can relate as someone who always seems to have about seven different things going at once. Using real Game Boy hardware is certainly an interesting approach. I do really enjoy the Game Boy's onboard sound chip too. I often go for Game Boy waveforms when I am composing 8-bit music. Games that take over your life... like Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield, both of which I would theoretically like to play if I did not fear losing all productivity to them...
