Voting Guidelines Teams were tasked with writing three mashup arrangements of two songs each, one from a Metroid game and the other from a Castlevania game. In order to make your vote, listen to the remixes and, for each pair, choose the remix that fulfills the following criteria (listed in order of importance): The remix arranges both source tunes in an interesting and identifiable way into one cohesive piece of music. The remix is well-produced within the conventions of the genre. The remix is enjoyable to listen to. Stream the remixes via Soundcloud or Download the Round 3 Remix Pack (MP3). For your reference, here are the source tunes for each matchup: Super Metroid vs. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Theme of Super Metroid Door of Holy Spirits Metroid Prime vs. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow Menu Select Theme Forbidden Realm Metroid Fusion vs. Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse Neo Ridley Boss Theme Mad Forest You can also use this thread to leave comments about the tracks. Remember to be kind and constructive. Thanks for listening, and thanks for voting!

Sorry Mark, we haven't do anything with badge customization (yet). Can look into it though. Welcome back though! Nice to see you. I actually was just listening to Star Orion (Airplay Edit) the other day while hanging out with my wife and son. Wife was like "what is this!? this is great!!" and we threw on Shattered Time on your bandcamp page and had that playing all day.

The skill pages referenced a specific database view that broke after we made some changes to the user's profile fields. I've rebuilt the view to ignore those fields. The skill pages now work again.

Game Set Mash!! (GSM2) - Metroid vs. Castlevania
DarkeSword replied to DarkeSword's topic in Competitions
Remixes are due in 16-bit, 44.1khz WAV format by the end of this event. Use the provided form to submit your tracks. Here are our matchups for Round 2! First up is Super Metroid vs. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow! You're combining Maridia (Rocky Underwater Area) Purification Next is Metroid Prime vs. Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse! You're combining Tallon Overworld Depths Overture Last but not least is Metroid Fusion vs. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! You're combining Environmental Mystery Marble Gallery Your team is responsible for writing three remixes, one for for each match-up. Each remix should aim to combine both tracks into a single, cohesive piece of music. Remember, you're not writing two separate remixes and sticking them end-to-end, but writing a track that captures both sources as a piece of music that stands on its own. Remixes should be at least 1 minute in length. Every remix you submit is worth 2 points just for submitting, so make sure your team submits all three remixes or you risk falling behind. Here's a YouTube playlist of the sources. -

OCRC-0001 - For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man!
DarkeSword replied to DarkeSword's topic in Album Reviews & Comments
You can always download DRM-free MP3s from Amazon. This album is also not an indie-album, there were very specific terms we had to abide by because this album was done in collaboration with Capcom. Bandcamp doesn’t support region restrictions, which was one of their requirements, so we could not put it on Bandcamp, despite it being one of the first things we investigated. -

OCR01292 - Shivers "Cerebral Rose Jam"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is a thoughtful blend of middle-eastern aesthetics with a jazzier piano. Really pensive work. Incredibly relaxing. Absolute masterpiece. -
OCR00993 - Streets of Rage "Trippin' on the Bridge"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Used to listen to this one constantly. Just a classic. Love the filtered lead and that iconic string. A personal favorite.
