Saucer Commander is a VR-exclusive sci-fi experience developed for Meta Quest, set within a stylised 1950s-inspired retro-futuristic world. The game focuses on immersive interaction and atmospheric world-building, blending exploration and action within a distinctive visual and narrative style. The soundtrack draws heavily from mid-century science fiction film scoring traditions, using orchestral and hybrid textures to enhance immersion and reinforce the game’s cinematic tone in a fully spatial VR environment.
The track ‘The Mothership is Coming’ demonstrates my blending of both synthetic and orchestral elements. I leaned heavily on a theremin led melody as a nod towards classic sci-fi film score from the 40’s and 50’s.
The full soundtrack can be heard on SoundCloud, with a wider soundtrack release upcoming.
