  A Look Inside the Blades of Mirage Soundtrack

  A Global Collaboration The team behind Blades of Mirage bridges local talent with global expertise. By blending authentic Indonesian perspectives with international creative insights, we’ve been able to craft a truly complete and multifaceted experience. To shape the game’s audio identity, we partnered with renowned composers Kristofer Eng and Martin Barreby, the co-founders of House of Elias. They are the masterminds behind Elias, a powerful and adaptive video game music engine. Furthermore, Kristofer’s impressive portfolio includes composing for the critically acclaimed Game of the Year winner, It Takes Two. How the Partnership Began Our journey together started at the Nordic Game Conference. What began as casual conversations about potential collaboration opportunities quickly evolved into a shared vision for Blades of Mirage. For Kristofer and Martin, it wasn’t just that the project itself was interesting, they were drawn to the studio's infectious optimism, and the distinct creative direction Agate was pursuing. It was a vision they knew they wanted to be a part of. A Deep Dive with Kristofer & Martin “Warm, adventurous, curious” and “Colorful, inviting, adaptive.” Those are the three words chosen by our brilliant composers to describe the world of Blades of Mirage. Q: How do you define what kind of music is suitable for Blades of Mirage? Kristofer: It’s a delicate balance between authentic traditional music, a “larger-than-life” blockbuster orchestra, and even some of our own Scandinavian influences. When you start the game, you will instantly feel like you are somewhere in Southeast Asia. As the gameplay progresses, the music evolves to allow new takes on that sound, leaving room for everything from sweeping orchestral movements to raw, heavy metal guitars.  Martin: The glorious anime-inspired art style gave me a wonderful opportunity to draw inspiration from many of my favorite games, movies, and series. The colorful world that Mira explores blends beautiful...

  Dev Blog #1: Defining Mira and her World

  Welcome to our very first developer blog for Blades of Mirage. We are excited to talk about our project. Our goal with these updates is to let you see the heart and soul we’re pouring into this project, so you can fall in love with Mira’s world just as much as we have. Every great journey needs a compelling hero. Meet Mira, a young woman driven by an abundant curiosity and a restless spirit. In designing her, we focused heavily on her expressions and hairstyle to reflect her "eager-to-explore" personality. Her attire is inspired by the Hindu-Buddhist influences across Southeast Asia. We combined these historical elements into a unique, original aesthetic. From the intricate patterns of her clothing to the accessories she wears, every detail represents the rich heritage that defines her world. The Tale of a Fallen World Mira’s story begins during her preparation for her Coming-of-Age ritual in her village. What should have been a celebration of her adulthood becomes a nightmare as a mysterious force raids her village and abducts her loved one, forcing her into a desperate quest for rescue. Outside the safety of her village, Mira finds a realm infected by a corrupting Fire Deity, turning peaceful inhabitants into mindless aggressors. Now she must face corrupted humanoids and wild animals that have been unnaturally armed and armored. The corruption runs even deeper. Mira must also confront and ‘cure’ powerful guardians inspired by Southeast Asian mythologies and creatures, such as Utan, Barong, or the giant Kelabang (Centipede). To save her world, Mira must find a way to vanquish these fallen protectors. Crafting Fast-Paced Isometric Combat and Unique Puzzles As an Action-Adventure title, choosing the right perspective was crucial. We feel that the Isometric POV provides a clear birds-eye view to dodge incoming threats and outmaneuver the hordes attacking from all sides while ensuring you don't miss a single detail of our hand-crafted world. This wider visibility is es...
