(The first two Beverly Hills Cop films, Fletch, Top Gun and Fatal Beauty would only receive six tracks of score in total, even though a few cues also appeared on 7″ B-sides.) It wasn’t until The Running Man three years later that an album with more score material was issued. It featured five songs and five instrumentals, quite a bit of room for Faltermeyer to shine. Let’s look at the original 1984 album first, which is the second disc on this set. Quartet has so far focussed very little on electronic scores, so this was a welcome surprise. In early 2023, their dreams were finally fulfilled when Spanish film music label Quartet Records issued a double CD featuring the full score presentation plus the original album and lots of bonus tracks, limited to 1500 copies. Film score afficionados were still not entirely happy though, as the complete score still hadn’t seen the light of day. 31-year-old Faltermeyer delivered a dynamite electronic score, and he also worked on several songs for the film.Ī soundtrack album featuring a mixture of score and songs was released on Casablanca Records on vinyl, cassette and even on an early CD, and in 2017, Varese Sarabande issued an expanded CD with the original album plus several extended mixes. The only score he had done previously was for the German film Didi – Der Doppelgänger in early ’84, before he got asked by Bruckheimer if he would be interested in doing Thief of Hearts, even though director Stewart originally wanted pop group Eurythmics to do the music. The film featured the first Hollywood film score from composer Harold Faltermeyer. Through the almost 40 years that have passed since the release of the film, I am probably not wrong in saying that the music of Thief of Hearts has been more talked about than the actual movie itself. The film was not a commercial success, but it received some good reviews. It starred Steven Bauer, Barbara Williams and David Caruso and it sported the tagline “he stole her diaries, broke into her dreams, and became her desires”. Let us know what you think of our MC or about the details of our new game in the comments section below.Thief of Hearts was a 1984 thriller produced by the “golden boys” Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by first-time director Douglas Day Stewart.

We want to give this new VN more dynamism and more importance to the choices as we know many fans have complained about our games being too linear at times.

You’ll meet new characters along the way, while you’re being sent on specific paths during your journey. This new visual novel will have mini-games and choices that will determine specific outcomes. They possess certain skills that we’ll be showing you in the upcoming weeks starting with Ariel next week 😉 Oh, and the females we’ve shown you so far are also thieves. Your journey is not just about being a thief, it’s also about the effect you have on the people around you, personally and professionally. In “Thief of Hearts”, as the main character, you’ll fill the role of a young man who is navigating through a world of theft, deception, and unexpected alliances. So next weekend we will be sharing our new look and design for the Ariel character.Īnd that brings us to the plot of our new game. What we’re aiming for is to give Ariel a more mature, “adult” look, which will better our chances of being able to publish our game on Steam successfully. However, it seems that Steam is very strict when it comes to allowing games on their platform.Ī recent attempt to submit ‘Melody’ was rejected because the characters looked “too young”, and we thought Ariel would fall into this category and this new VN could be rejected by Steam just like they did with Melody. We know many of you have asked us that in the past and we want to make it a reality this year. One of our goals for this year is to start publishing our games on Steam. Our first previews featured ‘Ariel,’ and after careful consideration over the past few weeks, we’ve concluded that changing her appearance is necessary. Optimistic and ambitious, he possesses a keen sense of empathy towards others, but at other times he can be quite cocky, sarcastic and just plain unlucky. While he may be youthful, his confidence and thirst for adventure stand out as his defining qualities. However, this main character is significantly different from our past leads. Similar to the female love interests we’ve previously introduced through preview images over the past month, you will have the freedom to select your own name for the main character. Today, we’re excited to reveal images and some details about our main character. What did you think of our Vivian previews last week and our teaser video?ĭo you like the name of our new visual novel?
