The Music

One naughty elf is planning to wreck Christmas by  messing around with a voodoo kit and turning the North Pole into living hell. Santa is very lack with the checks in the North Pole and any elf can join the workshop as long as they have a clean record. Niffty the 25 year old elf got round Santa and he was once got caught shoplifting in Macey's near the North Pole and was sentence 300 hours of community service in the Krampus Detention & Probation Service (K.D.A.P.S.) Truth be told it doesn't really matter if you have a criminal record Santa would take you in and see you as a reformed character of the community but Misses Claus would always tell him not to let them tow aways into the factory or workshops or there would be hell to pay and every time she was right. Niffty the unachieving elf got the voodoo kit online and was looking for something to spice the workshops and factory up and was tired of the Prozac happy attitudes of the other elves who always wanted to do good and please Santa and the misses. Niffty didn't really fit in with the other elves and he was more rebellious drinking every night and going to bars he likes Vegas apparently the strippers are to die for but I wouldn't know. He already has bullied the reindeers to give up shall we say their samples so he can get high and paint naked but that's only because it shocks the other elves and this is all when Santa is not looking. Niffty didn't realize how powerful the voodoo was and thought it would wear off after a while but day seven and Santa had to barricade himself in his courters away from the nasties that have invaded his living space. Lucky Santa's so busy as he would get to the bottom of who's been welcoming the other spirits in the North Pole as everyone knows Santa only welcomes Christmas spirits into the North Pole. It's not Santa who Niffity is worried about it's Misses Claus news always gets back to her and at a rapid speed and she doesn't mind taking charge and cracking the whip to keep the elves in shape but the elves don't mind. Luckily Niffty removed all tracks that would lead to him so if it really did go wrong one of the other elves would get blamed or at least the trial would go cold. On day five the guilt ran through his veins and he was thinking all that time he would have to serve at the K.D.A.P.S. and the wrath of Santa all for a cheap ride and a low thrill was it worth it he asked himself. This is when he realized it was up to him to save Christmas as Santa couldn't go nowhere with those demons around and Christmas would be ruined and that wasn't the plan. He was now on his way to save Christmas and risk his elf behind to save Santa and  turn the North Pole into the happy place it once was.

Main Character

Niffty

Niffty is a 25 year old elf from Elfville which is near the North Pole. Before he was called to work in Santa's Workshop as a manager he was chasing the females and getting into all sorts of bother but despite him working in the workshop the trouble still carries on and he can't go a day without doing something illegal or rebellious. Painting is his thing and was taught from a earlier age by his dad and grandad who wanted Niffty to be Santa's top painter putting him through all sorts of painting challenges. Niffty insists his best work was when he was naked and high and once painted a infamous Bridge in under a hour and with his memory the reindeers were insistent with getting some sort of credit since it was their samples.  It was his time at the K.D.A.P.S. facilitates where he met a Ju Ju priest who got 3 years Hard Labour and 12 months probation for putting paid hexes on people which all were successful hits out and they were soon six feet under. The Ju Ju priest had his own website called rootsandthymes.com which was coherent to his company name Roots & Thymes & Co and his name was Kaleba Thymes. Kaleba boasted how his potions and remedies worked and he's got all the needs and wishes for every man woman and child or above or below. Niffy was use to buying knock off stuff from the back of dodgy lanes or buying weed from the street corner so he thought he'll give it a go and jotted down the website on his arm as he's a elf he's always got a pen near and handy.     

Enemies 

The Flying Krampus

The flying Krampus flies in the air and navigates with a precision shot. The tongue which is it's deadly attack is full of bacteria and deadly stuff and is like being licked with sand paper so you wouldn't want to be near this one when you are in the zone.  The flying Krampus is blind and uses it's tongue to navigate to the intruder and attacks the person until they die. They are trained to attack anything incoming and that their tongue picks up.

Icy Cube

The Icy Cube is made of ice and is another one that detects your passing before falling on your head crushing you. The Voodoo touched everything cold so the stacked up ice cubes in one of Santa's cool room across the North Pole came alive and growing in size and also growing eyes and mouths to detect the passers by. 

Patroller Troll

The Patroller Troll is a troll that patrols up and down scouting for anyone to bite. The troll other known as The Christmas Troll has a mind like a zombie and is always looking for someone to bite so you better have you're jumping skills at hand when facing The Christmas Troll. The troll is usually placid but was disturbed in the big awakening when everything cold was turned evil and into monsters and the creature is cold blooded and cold. 

Trippy Shiz

The Trippy Shiz is the hallucinogenic that is used to make the reindeers fly and without the passing of the reindeer's sample it is quite deadly and if congested you could die from a overdose of poison as the creature is quite poisoned. The hallucinogenic is kept in a cold place and is left outside hence how they came alive. The Trippy shiz is another patroller that patrols up and down looking for any passers by to attack so another one to jump on or over. 

Trippy Ztick

The Trippy Ztick pronounced The Trippy Stick is a adaption to the Trippy Shiz and is the same thing but on a stick. It uses projectiles which shoot from the mouth when you get close so you won't want to stand too close to these things. The projectiles are from it's bladder which is mixed with snow so yellow snow if you know what I'm mean and is very toxic when collied with so be careful   

Trippy Ztick Head

The Trippy Ztick Head is part of the mechanism for the Trippy Ztick and also shoots out yellow snow balls and has the mechanism of a missile.  The head sits on top of the Trippy Ztick and has a built in surprise for those who want to kill it by jumping on its head and yes it is possible. The stick is on automatic fire and is quite a rapid gun that gives no mercy to you if you do come across them in the game.   

Zanta Robotos

The Zanta Robotos pronounced The Santa Robot is a batch of faulty toys left out in the cold and ready to be recycled. They were meant to be for the Christmas stocking for the most well behaved children but they seemed to have a technical problem and had to recall the whole stock. During the big awakening a massive current went through the toys charging them with electric so you won't want to touch these toys. 

Krampus Bull

The Krampus Bull is a ferocious beast that is crossed with Krampus and a buffalo. It patrols up and down ready to ram the passer by with his big horns and mighty stroke. The beast patrols most land but likes the forest the most where they sit and what for passers by to ram off the road.  With the right jump they are some what easy to avoid and a wide berth is advised. Thankfully they keep to the permitter so breathe a sigh of relief when passed as these ones are quite tough to destroy but it is possible. 

Moufy Claus

The Moufy Claus is more faulty toys that were left out in the cold and ready to be recycled. The plan was the mouth piece was meant to blow out snow confetti but there was a trouble with that so it had to be scrapped. The mouth piece now spits out yellow snow which is hazardous and hurts if you get hit by one. Like the Trippy Ztick it uses samples from their bladder and snow to generate the projectile that is yellow snow. 

 

ELF QUEST COVER

New Album Release; Elf Quest

25/11/2024 - New Album Release; Elf Quest

It’s the start of Christmas so why not get the Christmas gaming music on? This ten-track album is from the platform game I made also called Elf Quest and all tracks are featured in the game in the same order. I haven’t made that many platform games so I thought I’d make one but make it a Christmas game so I have a game released within Christmas with the music to accompany it and I also haven’t made any gaming music for a while for my other artists name Game For Experimentation so I ticked all the boxes for fulfilment. I used my 8-bit drum kit for drums and an 8-bit synth plugin which I like using a lot in my gaming stuff and to play the melodies I used my MIDI keyboard.  I enjoyed putting the songs together and I liked coming up with new melodies and seeing what sounds are on the plugin which I used on all the songs. I wanted to get that 8-bit feel so I also converted it into 8-bit for that final sound and to give it that authentic sound and finish to it. The first track No Christmas This Christmas is an upbeat track with a pumping bass and melodic synthy sounds. I like the drive to this one and I think is danceable and reminds me of old gaming music. I also like the Christmas bells which I converted into 8-bit for that authentic sound. I like the arp bass to this one and kind of overpowers it but I am more or less happy with it and the way it sounds, not one to blast loud on the speakers though.  The next track Elf Chuckle is another upbeat track with more Christmas bells which I like quite a lot and think suits it quite well. I was looking for a way to add Christmas to the Chiptune gaming sound as it’s Chiptune not much Christmas vibes going on so I decided to add Christmas bells. It’s one of my favourites on the album as I like the bass over the synths and Christmas bells which again I converted into 8-Bits for that authentic sound. It’s kind of like a walk in the park just strolling track and reminds me of walking down the street. The next track Santa’s Plea is a relaxing gaming track for difference and to calm it down in the game music and within the game. I like the bass to this one which is a sharp bass and one of my favourites to play. I also like the synthy sounds over the bass which I think goes well with the track. It’s another favourite on the album and is one to relax while reading or whatever you do on and offline.  The next track Krampus is another one I like on the album and is a dark slow but melodic track again for difference. I like the synthy stuff going on in the background and I also like the sine bass which makes it even more calm and soothing. I added choir voices using Omnishpere and used basses from my V Collection by Arturia. I would say this is one of my overall favourites on the album as I like the soothingness of it and the melodic synths which again I think goes quite well with the Krampus mysterious dark theme. The next track Xmas Fears is another soothing calm instrumental that is good to have on in the background if you are just chilling. Once again I like the bass and the synthy stuff over the bass which works well with the beat and more choir sounds and a dark bass for the fear part. I would say this is another one I like quite a lot and I’m pleased with how it came out. The next track Hobot Takeover is another calm soothing beat with a sine soothing bass to accompany it. I would say this is another overall favourite and I like the piano keys with all the other stuff added on top to make the beat stand out and to shine more. There are more choir sounds from Omnisphere to give it that Christmasy feel to it and some ambience for the chorus which I like a lot. The next track Grotty Grotto is an upbeat track that is dark and grotty like it says on the tin. I quite like this one as well and is another one of my overall favourites as I like the synthy stuff on top of the deep bass which rumbles throughout the track. I like the keys and pad I used on this one and again I think it goes well with the track and is all that I hoped it to be for a gaming album and to feature in the game itself. The next track Krampus – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original also called Krampus. The track is an upbeat number and melodic for the difference from the first track I made it more happy and uplifting which I like quite a lot. I like the synths to this one and the sine bass which mellows it out a lot but is still an upbeat track. Once again I seem to like this one quite a lot and is one of my favourites on the album as I like the quick melodic sounds to it and I like the drumming to which I’m happy with all my drumming on this album. The next track Grotty Grotto – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original track also called Grotty Grotto. The track is another upbeat track which I like quite a lot. I like the drumming over the bass and synths on this one and this one is my overall overall favourite on the album as I like the bass and dark and dingy feel to it which goes with the title of the track. I changed it slightly for variation and changed the sounds keeping some of the sounds so it was the same but different. The last track Santa’s Plea – Alternative Version is the alternative to the original track with the same title Santa’s Plea. It’s another upbeat track and I thought a great song to end the album with something dancy and pumping. I like the melodic synthy stuff over the deep bass which once again is a sine and something I found in the V Collection. I would say this is a Dance track and something to dance to or have loud but I think it sounds better at a normal volume as it is quite a loud and in-your-face kind of track.
