My newest track is The Map Room, heard when Indy and Sophia discover the miniature version of Atlantis inside the Knossos Labyrinth. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (fan soundtrack) by Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, Michael Z. Land

Vertical ones weren't really practical for most adventure games, at least during gameplay, because they would require the character sprites to change perspective as well. Horizontal ones worked without problems here. But of course, for cutscenes these could still have been used.

A quick scan through JPL's background collection didn't bring up any unexpected shots like the ones already mentioned. I somehow remember a shot like the one we're looking for, but it might just as well been something from a Disney movie. Edit: This sketch looks helpful.

Looks like "4-point perspective" is the correct term for this: https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/four-point-perspective-drawing-video/how-to-draw-using-perspective-dick-termes/ But I think the The Dig shot I shared above isn't really that. It's more like the bottom and top halves are just separate perspectives, while the middle is just covering up the seam with non-descript concrete texture (and some streaks following either of the two perspectives) and a huge cracked piece that covers up where the vertical edge changes its direction. A clever solution, since the pan doesn't linger on the center area, and only the two ends need to look correct.

This one from The Dig is a bit more extreme, and probably not a good reference, as it places you INSIDE the structure: EDIT: I just learned that this is sometimes called a "banana pan", and googling for that gives some possibly helpful results.

I've added the ominous track Plato's Lost Dialogue, which is heard when Indy and Sophia first take a look at the Hermocrates (although there it's preceded by the Let There Be Light track). This also plays during Indy's visit backstage at the New York theater, and is quoted during the fake séance with Alain Trottier, but I think thematically it's fine to have it as the theme for the Lost Dialogue.

I've added several versions of Steve Purcell's cover artwork for "Pipe Dream" to the opening post.

It's been a while, but there is still stuff in the works. Like these:

I've updated another track, The Coldest Year of My Life, which always felt a bit too loud to me, while it's actually a rather intimate moment when Indy talks about Sophia. Getting more familiar with the soundtrack, I've noticed several themes get used in multiple tracks, like what I call the Sunset Theme, as it's most prominently heard before the end credits while Indy and Sophia watch the sun set (but also during their balloon ride from Thera). Well, it's also used in the Coldest Year track, but I think it doesn't need to be there. There are notes present that suggest it was only inserted there after the fact. So I removed it here, to not have it be a repeat later on the album (once I get to the sunset track). So, apart from this edit, I've updated the instrumentation, and stripped down the opening part for a bit for more intimacy, at least until the track erupts into a sweeping romantic statement of the Coldest Year theme, as well as the Love Theme at the end. I'd say it sounds much better this way. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (fan soundtrack) by Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, Michael Z. Land

I think this is just for the new crowd, so that they don't think it's an action adventure. Sounds like a classic adventure game to me.

I've reworked Sophia's Atlantis Presentation quite a bit, replacing everything with my latest instruments, completely overhauling the balancing of the track, and now it's pretty much as perfect as I can get it. For me, a definitive highlight on the album. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (fan soundtrack) by Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, Michael Z. Land

Feel the gravitas and importance of academia in my latest track, Barnett College, which I imagine being the university's hymn, played as a chorale for brass and strings during official ceremonies.

Finally, some bad guy music (and cracking the album's 30 minute mark), with Ransacked Apartment, which is a track that combines the apartment cue with Kerner's theme and the "German Wizard Splits Atom" newspaper cue. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (fan soundtrack) by Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, Michael Z. Land

I've added yet another track, The Kiss, heard when Indy frees Sophia from the prison cell in Atlantis and the two get smoochie: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (fan soundtrack) by Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, Michael Z. Land
