New York City, New York – April 30, 2014 – <\/b>SWDTech Games is delighted to announce the availability of a soundtrack sampler for their 16-bit-flavored role-playing title, PIXEL NOIR<\/i><\/b>. In what’s been described as an equal blend of Chrono Trigger<\/i> and Shadowrun<\/i>, PIXEL NOIR<\/i><\/b>\u00a0aims to resurrect the classic JRPG, and has taken to Kickstarter to fund development and stay true to their vision rather than cave into publisher pressure to add pay-to-play features and cater to a casual audience.<\/p>\n

PIXEL NOIR’s<\/i><\/b>\u00a0soundtrack is composed by SWDTech Games Business Development & Audio Lead Kunal Majmudar, who is best known for his role in the game music cover band, The OneUps, and the remixing group, The Bad Dudes. The soundtrack combines 8-bit and orchestral elements that are heavily influenced by JRPGs of the 8-bit through PlayStation eras. The PIXEL NOIR: Super Mysterious Detective Sampler<\/i><\/b> is currently available on Bandcamp, and can be streamed in its entirety for a taste of what to expect:<\/p>\n
