My Overwatch music project I've worked on for the past year. 35-40 song focused music playlists designed from each hero's personality/character traits

Posted: 21 Mar 2018 07:37 AM PDT

EDIT: thank you for the reddit gilding, kind stranger!

Hey all! So I just finished a huge project of mine that I've been working for the last year or so on. I've compiled 27 playlists, each including anywhere between 35-40 songs, based on Overwatch hero personalities. It's a creative project to look at the lore, history, expression and community imagination of these awesome characters, and it was also a chance for me to deeply explore lots of different styles of music and to create focused and defined mixes with lots of replay-ability. There's roughly 1000 songs spread out between each of the playlists, with music styles varying as widely as Shoegaze, Gypsy inspired Balkan Beat and Electro-Swing, Traditional Japanese Gagaku and Koto music, glitchy-woozy electronica, dark Classical orchestrated pieces, minimalist piano works, bluegrass/country folk, K-pop, Nu-Metal, and more. There's also more digestable mixes ranging from classic rock, psychedelic, 2000s British Invasion, modern indie garage rock, electro-pop and much much more.

I tried to be as objective and focused to the sound and music styles that I think would reflect each characters' personality as possible. It's designed to be music they might listen to if they were in our world, to reflect on the diversity and complexity each character brings from all of their lore content and in game / out of game incarnations, from my perspective and sensibility as someone who loves music and making music mixes. That being said, you might actually imagine an entirely different kind of music mix for some of the characters yourself, and I think that's great. These were created to define a very specific kind of vision of these characters, and I hope that it helps you connect with the characters in a new way, as it has done so for myself!

It's been a big passion project of mine for awhile and I'd really love if some folks give some of the mixes a listen!

Here's the link to my profile - It's first 27 mix in my public playlists: https://open.spotify.com/user/ryanpwalsh?si=E8ELaorHT3mnkpCQLMgiHg

Legend says he is still smashing to this day

My first 10 seconds as Brigitte went pretty well I'd say

When your team having difficulties to reach the point , release the lucio

14 year old Pharah definitely babysat 5 year old Brigette

Posted: 21 Mar 2018 06:15 AM PDT

Imagine the animated short of them at the Overwatch Headquarters, getting into hijinks, pranking Winston, somehow Brigitte gets McCree's hat and then Pharah has to sneak it back to him. This stuff writes itself.

I just wanted to pin the monkey, but I got a strike. My new proudest POTG.

Reinherdt is old enough to recognize when someone is telegraphing their moves + bonus tire shutdown

Do the training bots know something that we don't?

Story Update: Brigitte Q&A

Posted: 21 Mar 2018 11:11 AM PDT

I've found the key to getting potg as ana is to shoot at shields like an idiot, miss your sleep at a crucial moment, and let your reinhardt die

Possible hint to upcoming Mei Buff from Geoff Goodman: Freezing multiple people at once

I call it "the ass-clapper"

Posted: 21 Mar 2018 10:06 AM PDT

Blizzard actually fixed Brigitte's hitstop animation for the better :)

Posted: 21 Mar 2018 11:18 AM PDT

I posted about Brigitte's super awkward hitstop animation two weeks ago, when she was still on the PTR. The hitstop looked awkward because the flail stopped after it had already passed the enemy's model, like you can see on this video:

Video of how Brigitte's hitstop animation looked like before release.

However, after she was released I naturally went to check the animation again, and to my immense pleasure I noticed they fixed the hitstop animation so that the flail actually stops at the enemy's model!

Video comparison of Brigitte's original hitstop animation & the current animation.

That's all, just wanted to point out because I'm really pleased they actually listened to feedback (not sure if mine or someone else's, but either way, someone's!) and improved the animation so that it doesn't look so janky!
