The “soundtrack” for Severity Nexus, one of my friend’s Deltarune-inspired DnD campaigns. Basically, it’s a set of background tracks he would play during certain events (e.g., in the town, in battles, at the final battle).
This “project” was a lot of fun. Not only did it connect me with a friend’s campaign that he cared deeply about (I wasn’t a player), but the response from his players was heartwarming. I am honored to have been able to have an impact on Severity, even if it was small.

The 'towny' theme that plays in the main area, Kaynbyn University. This was basically the 'Hometown' of Severity, as all the player characters attended this college together. It uses Tally Hall's 'Ruler of Everything' as its main melody, with an original motif for Kaynbyn itself, and at the end, Severity's 'main theme' (think 'Don't Forget').

Raising Kayn

The battle theme! This was the first track I worked on for Severity. I did not know much about it at this time, besides that Gaster was particularly important. The main melody here is Tally Hall's 'Turn the Lights Off', with 'The Bidding' at the end. If you don't recognize these melodies, I get it—I did some improv here and there to make it sound 'more original'.

Tell Me

Technically not a 'song', per se, but it's edited from a voice clip spoken to one of the characters in-game. From what I know, it involves Gaster trying to probe one of the PCs on what they saw on the 'other side'... you know, HEAVEN!?

The final boss theme against W.D. Gaster. To really understand this one, you'd need a full plot overview... I'm not doing that, sorry. However, I can explain the motifs at least. Most of them come from UNDERTALE or DELTARUNE. Same as the other tracks, Tally Hall (really, Miracle Musical) has melodies here, this time 'The Mind Electric'. That should be self-explanatory. There are also some motifs relating to the Dungeon Master, who plays a meta-role in the story that I won't get into. These motifs are from Kirby, as a reference to ... ... OK, I'm leaving it there, sorry.
