The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #552 and Like A Hood Ornament #94: Updates on the Rocketeer vs. the Third Reich Video Game 7
About this episode
In this episode, Joshua Blum discusses music compositions for the Rocketeer video game and updates on the soundtrack.
In today's episode, I'm making two little riffs that I think will be background music for the pixelart Rocketeer game I've been working on. One is a little somber piece to accompany the "RIP" scene when Cliff kicks the bucket. I've made a serious one here, but I thought I might vary what is written on the gravestone to reflect what you did, if I can figure out how to do that. Like, for example, if you blew yourself up with a grenade, the gravestone might read, "Cliff Secord, 1911 - 1936, chowderhead." https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2026/03/09/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-552-and-like-a-hood-ornament-94-updates-on-the-rocketeer-vs-the-third-reich-video-game-7/ The second riff is probably the verse to some kind of ending song, while the credits play. I was undecided on whether to do any music with words in it, but this one came to me one day (while driving, naturally), and I thought it might fit. If not, then for a future Thirteenth Hour soundtrack. But since the game is really about Cliff going to rescue Peevy, I thought it could be a song about friendship, mentorship, or maybe the love fathers have for their sons (since Peevy is a kind of father figure to Cliff)…
