Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Project Chaos - History

[-RK-]

It might be a good idea for some of us who have been done a really long time to go back and just make sure some of the production or other aspects of our songs are up to snuff, and polish things up.

Just a thought. I plan to do so.

Yea thats exactly what im doing. You could also send stuff to a few other project members if your unsure if something is good or not. Its good to know what people think.

[Hadyn]

Jan 31st is fine, I plan to have it done much sooner anyways, hopefully within the week.

But I've hardly been slacking off, for the record. My course work for college has been getting heavier and heavier, and in the whole year I've only had two weeks holidays (this is my second week now), and even then I'm doing homework throughout. I also did the website for this project, and doing stuff like that takes a lot longer than you might think.

It's not just about finding time, either, it's about being in the right mood to work on something like this. There have been plenty of times when I've forced myself to sit down and try something out, working on it for a few hours, only to revert to an older version because I didn't like the way it was sounding. I've revised the mixing countless times, reworked the structure and changed instruments around. I'm no musical genius, trying to get this to sound nice is a whole lot of trial and error for me, and that takes time. As another note, I did have more than one track, another one which I'd completed, but that didn't make it onto the project if anyone remembers.

Ohwell, doesn't matter. It'll be done in time either way.

But seriously, KFC, get some damn webspace already! If you want the site to go up, this week is the best time for me to make that happen. I can do it later too, but this week would be the best, so yeah. Webspace would be nice. Cheers,

~Hadyn

[Sixto]

Remove me, please. I doubt I'll be able to make that deadline. I simply don't have enough free time and I have other personal projects that are my top priority at this moment. Sorry for the trouble.

[Rexy]

I'm sure to be able to refine my track by that date; I'll have plenty of ideas to keep things going.

[Kanjika]

Ill take flying battery(if no one else will). That means i have 4 songs, but i have so much free time that i dont care lol.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

I talked to Sixto, he isn't off just yet.

[-RK-]

Well, if anyone else decides to drop, I SUPPOSE I could pick up their tracks. All I'm writing at the moment are originals for fun, so, maybe a serious song would help me focus. :lol:

[BrainCells]

I just talked to zyko yesterday, he said he'll send me the tracks for sandopolis so I can finish it, so you can expect it for the end of january for sure!

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

HOW did you talk to him?

[Murmeli Walan]

HOW did you talk to him?

I've never had any problems talking to zyko. He seems to respond most to a VGMix PM, but I also talk to him at OUS once in a while.

[BrainCells]

HOW did you talk to him?

You see, I had this dream... just kidding.

I just caught him on vgmix one of these days and exchanged a couple of PMs with him...

[Rexy]

KFC, if any of these artists do in fact get dropped - or if some of you guys aren't stimulated enough to carry on some of your work - I'll see if I can go across the community to find some people who may take up the post.

Snapple and I don't want to see this project fall like a pack of cards :(

[SnappleMan]

I made a major update on the front page.

My apologies to you, Mike, for not telling you. This is something the project needs and it's time to step up the energy we got going in this thing.

[Hadyn]

I quite like this decision. Good move.

[Mr. Fox]

I quite like this decision. Good move.

Indeed.

Nah homie, it's cool, and a very good move considering all the stuff we have to do anyway. I applaud you, and welcome to the team Rexy!

[SnappleMan]

Hadyn you wondeful man. I just saw the project site and it looks fantastic!

I'll get together with you later to work out some details and talk about some things we should add.

[SnappleMan]

And for the last time people, this isn't a REMIX project! Maybe ReMix was good enough for Hedgehog Heaven, but we're actually doing something that wont suck. So it's ARRANGEMENT COLLABORATION.

[Murmeli Walan]

...stupid mod powers...


I went with "Arrangement Project" because I couldn't spell "Collaboration". :)

But anyway, it's great to hear that Rexy will be helping you guys out. It looks like her Dodge Ball track may be put on the back burner for a while, but it'll be worth it if it means that this project gets finished sooner.

[KingTiger]

Cool.

I wanted to comment on something mentioned on the front page...post production. I think it's definitely needed...I know my songs, personally, have always had lots of dynamics, usually leading to damaged speakers and eardrums when listening to finished tracks. I think post production would help a lot to give the whole project a more united, smoother feel.

Just my two cents.

[Ichitootah]

It needs no improvements or feedback, dont worry.....

[Hadyn]

Ichi... There are a few reasons it's not public yet.

The main reason is that the background music is currently placeholder, and sort of in violation of copyright, which obviously needs to be changed.

The second reason is that some of the content such as the "thankyou" section is currently non-existent. IE. I need to get that info from the project leaders. I also need to amend some of the content, like the news page and the about page to include info on our new third project director.

I also need to get the links page working with some fancier buttons, though that's not nearly as important and can wait until after the site goes public. So mainly the first two reasons.

Don't worry though, I promised to make a good site and I'm determined to come through!

All right, I placed my bet.

I really hope I dont lose. :cry:

... that would suck.

[Hadyn]

lol, I'll work extra hard to make sure your ass stays in place.

Not once in life did I ever think I'd say that.

[Ichitootah]

Ass discussion is better than no discussion at all... or is it?

Anyway, I understand about the website and stuff. Your initial screen was so awesome, though, I can hardly imagine what the site's like now. :)

[Liontamer]

Well, considering that Kyle made a Wikipedia article for the project (in haste, IMO), I'd recommend anyone else do what they can to contribute content regarding the project to prevent the article from being deleted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Project_Chaos
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Chaos

In the future, I'd say wait until a project is wrapped up/about to be released before doing a page on it. Otherwise, people get the wrong idea that it's meant to be some sort of advertisement.

[-RK-]

I never even got to see the initial screen. :cry:

I'm giddy with excitement to see this thing.

[Hadyn]

This initial screen is outdated anyways, the whole design changed quite dramtically since then.

Hmmm.... The main thing that's going to delay a public release of the site would be the background music... I need atleast three tracks before this thing goes online. I have snapps and kanjika helping out, but if anyone else wants to make some background music for the website, it's open to anyone on the project. Actually, if you're good, it's probably open to anyone.

What I need is short, background music-ish remixes. Quality here isn't quite as important as tracks on the project, but obviously we want stuff that still sounds nice. You can make it mostly original, but be sure to mix in bits and pieces from s3k tunes. It could be a medley.

A good length would be around about a minute. Longer or shorter is okay, but I don't want people to have to stream massive files so keep that in mind.

The songs will appear on the bonus tracks section of the site... this is sort of like the "unofficial" third disc, I suppose.

Any questions, just ask!

~Hadyn

[The Joker]

I'll see if I can get something togethor.

[Kanjika]

I was going to do the super high quality medley with ALL the tracks, but that's going to take too long. Ill do a few of the songs in an ambient chill like style that will work for backgorund music.

[Hadyn]

Sounds great, thanks!

[GaMeBoX]

One thing... If its in the planning to put up a donation button / banners or similar on the site, i think we all (artists) want a very clear guideline to how that $$ is being used before we agree that its appropriate/approved..

That is ridonkulous. No money can be involved or copy rights explode in the project's face.

One single commercial advertisement or donation button and Sega will be on your asses like Michael Moore on a cheeseburger.

[SnappleMan]

Hah! You silly Swede. There's no money to be had here. The only payment you'll get will be the ego boost thanks to countless n00bs registering new accounts just to say how much one out of the 50000 tracks is great. :\

[KingTiger]

Hah! You silly Swede.

lol.

not even if it's a donation thing? that sucks. makes sense, but it still sucks.

PS I will try to get you guys another WIP tomorrow before I go on my ski trip to Lake Tahoe...

[Ichitootah]

I started a medley that could be used as background or something. It's kind of a mellow piano/bass centered thing. I'll pm you (hadyn) with a link of a demo so you can tell me if it's suitable or not.

[Rexy]

I also saw that titles have been assigned to the tracks. I thought mine were respectively decided on "Divided From Grace" and "Schumacher's Bar"?

[GaMeBoX]

Hah! You silly Swede. There's no money to be had here. The only payment you'll get will be the ego boost thanks to countless n00bs registering new accounts just to say how much one out of the 50000 tracks is great. :\

Im not looking for any $$... but i did notice that the remix project "the american album" something, had a donation button on it, so i was just bringin it up you silly.. I figured there may have been thoughts about putting one on.

[Kanjika]

Yea, whats with some of the tracks having titles?

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Uh, maybe cuz some people nammed them? Oh and Rexy, that Saka... whatever Bar title doesn't fit. It doesn't feel right. No offense.

[Rexy]

It's gonna take me a while to think of another, if you put it that way. That's been the working title since I started the whole thing.

Maybe when I add the final bits I will more than likely ask someone else for a title, because you know in the past 2 months if not more, most of my titles plain out sucked :?

Well, I don't know for sure, but seeing as "the american album" was an effort by Mazedude alone, he probably just had a donation button because it was on his website. It most likely didnt have anything to do with his project.

Just clearing things up, it was intended for the project. The American Album was originally intended for a OneUp Studios release, legalised and everything. Circumstances made Mazedude change that to a free release, instead putting a donation system to get some money back from all the work he put in. He could do that legally because it wasn't directly involved with the music, more a 'on the side, give money because he deserves it' thing.

[chokst~1.bat]

Why isn't "Sonic" part of the thread title? Who actually associates "Project Chaos" with Sonic automatically? Anyone who likes Sonic probably won't even realize that this thread has anything to do with the game. Though I guess if you're trying to keep the project a secret, this could be a good idea. :?

[Rexy]

Hey, at least it's less cheesy than Hedgehog Heaven ;) Besides, Sonic gamers know that they go after the Chaos Emeralds, so it'll all fit. k?

Haha. I don't know, Headgehog Heaven seems ok to me. I don't mind the name Project Chaos, but was thinking a thread title like "Sonic: Project Chaos" would have made more sense and get more people aware; like they have for Doom, Kirby, Dragon Warrior, etc. I didn't know about Chaos Emeralds, I don't read magazines on games when I play them, but alot of games have chaos; so I'd still say it's not a very distinctive title. Most games are about shooting things and blowing things/people up (eg. chaos), so that would only narrow it down to like a million games... right? Sounds like a fun project anyway, can I expect to hear alot of people causing havoc and blowing instruments up in the tracklist? ;)

Nice name BTW Rexy. What happends when I run your program? Can I add it to the ascii menu in my batch file? :lol:

No.

And dude, we have SONIC arrangement project for the longest as the thread title AND it's on the first page, and when it gets a spotlight there will be a huge Sonic picture or logo, right on OCR. kthxbye.

[Hadyn]

haha, there's still a Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Project Chaos - History (to 5/4/05) thread floating around here, so if you didn't know the project existed, you rather obviously weren't looking.

[KyleJCrb]

Uh, maybe cuz some people nammed them? Oh and Rexy, that Saka... whatever Bar title doesn't fit. It doesn't feel right. No offense.

Even though the title is a reference to Michael Schumacher, Formula 1 race car driver and world-renown competitor and champion? I think that the title works for a song called Competition Menu, in a mode where you race each other. :P

That's quite the original title actually. :wink: That's pretty cool.

[Hadyn]

I'm going to be doing the downloads pages within the next month or two, and I want to do it with cold fusion... But first, I need a server that has cold fusion enabled.

KFC, could you please check if the current server has CF, and if it doesn't could you please try to organise one that does. It'll enable me to do a lot of cool things with the site, and it also fits in to one of my assignments, so it's good on both levels.

Definately. You have the Chokster guarantee that your IQ will drop by atleast 10 points after reading each of my posts.

[Upthorn]

Regardless of whether Sonic 3 & Knuckles needs to be in this thread's topic or not, I think chokster's point is worth considering.

When this project gets released, and makes ocremix's front page, it had probably better have the phrase "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" somewhere in the announcement.

I think that's pretty much a given.

[Rexy]

I am sure that it will get mentioned. The closest project I know that doesn't have much relating to the game specifically in its title is "Rise of the Star"; while it does indeed fit well for Kirby, the use of rising stars could fall under various other game categories too.

And yet when that got released there definitely was a giant picture of Kirby and a mention of it being a Kirby's Adventure project. So I am sure that when Project Chaos gets release, there will be a big picture of Sonic and/or Knuckles and a mention of Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

ok now? :)

Well, y'know, I tend to operate on the principle that just because something is insanely, completely, blindingly obvious to me doesn't mean the other guy will have thought of it. Doubly so for large groups.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Ok, I'm asking to cease the project title talk. Me and Snapple will handle that, so it's not an issue.

[SnappleMan]

Some bad news. Last night my PC somehow caught some really bad spyware that downloade nasty bugs to my PC. Everything was lost, including my work on this project.

I'll look for an old backup CD that should have some older versions of a couple of the songs, and I'll have to redo many things.

Anyway, I'll need to re-download some tracks from Rexy and a couple others, so expect PMs from me soon.

[Bongo Bill]

I'll mirror this when it's finished.

[Hadyn]

I'll mirror this when it's finished.

Don't supposed you have a Cold Fusion enabled server?

We're looking for one to host the project site.

Damn dude, I'm really sorry to hear that. Remember when that shit happened to me? Sucks man. I hope you find it :'(

[Rexy]

While I may not guarantee the MP3 that you finalised (as you had the wav files I gave to you to help balance out the bass levels), I can still be able to bring back the couple of wavs needed if the procedure in the brackets had to be redone.

Nonetheless, sorry to hear about the crash, dude. :(

[Bongo Bill]

ColdFusion? Let me check...

Nope, doesn't look like it. I wouldn't know what to do with it anyway.

[Hadyn]

you wouldn't need to do much, I'd walk you through it... but yeah, if you don't have it, nevermind! Hope we can find someone who does have it, though...

[-RK-]

What exactly does Cold Fusion allow us to do?

Or rather, what is it?

[Hadyn]

It's a language like asp, php or cgi. Kind of.
Well I'm not really sure, I don't know any of the other languages, thus the reason I'm looking for a cold fusion server.

"Cold Fusion

Cold Fusion is another server-side scripting language used to develop dynamic web pages.

Cold Fusion is developed by Macromedia." - W3schools

Essentially it lets me put stuff on the site such as a shoutbox, a guestbook and an administrative section where the project directors can login and update news articles, update download mirrors or alter information for each track, or add new media like cd covers and stuff, all through the site (no html scripting required!).

The basic way it works is by connecting a database to the website, and letting the site add, remove, edit and display the information from the database by running a series of scripts that I program.

The reason I want to use it is because of the sheer amount of information that's going into the site, I want to make an easy and more enjoyable way for the project directors to alter the info without screwing up my beautiful html. And stuff like shoutboxes and guestbooks are always cool too.

Oh yeah, and it's also an assignment I have to do. Two birds, one stone.

[GaMeBoX]

As far as i know, cold fusion isnt commonly supported, i guess you have to install it yourself on the server. But i know you can use MySQL with flash, (and with html using PHP as a server scripting language for example, the code looks pretty much identical to regular java code, simple programming), maybe you should look into that. As its probably the most commonly used database it will also be more valuable to learn how to use these together (flash and MySQL or html/PHP/MySQL). MySQL is a piece of cake to learn really, just google for tutorials, its all out there, and PHPmyAdmin is an easy way to create and manage your database tables, its a webb interface that you log in to on your server. (i guess you know this already, just tryin to be helpful... )

[Hadyn]

Sounds good, but with all the work at school I'd rather not have to learn a new language right now, if it's possible.

But yeah, I've thought about php as an alternative, and your advice is appreciated there, but I have to do CF for an assignment anyways, so I wanted to kill two birds with one stone and get it going for the project chaos site. I have a lot of assignments in the last two months of my course, so not much spare time.

Knowing that you can use SQL with flash is AWESOME. That makes me very happy. I'm hoping to work mainly with flash websites in the future (for my job), and having databases connected would definitely be a cool feature, plus it would allow me to increase my price just a little...

As for PHP - is it pretty similar in scripting to CF? If it is, maybe you could help me convert the site over to php once I've done it all, if you have some time? The databases would all be the same I imagine, and the query's and all wouldn't change much so it'd just be a bit of scripting here and there.

And yeah, it'd help me get a faster understanding of php, too, so benefits all around I guess. But only if you have time/we can't find a php server.

Well, thanks again for the advice,

~Hadyn

Update:

Decided to read up on PHP at W3schools. You weren't lying when you said it was similar to the other languages! As long as I can figure out how to use sql to import the right info from the databases and all, I should be okay to do most of the php-ing on my own - though obviously some help would still be appreciated if you were willing. But yeah, not for another week or two atleast, gotta finish other stuff first ^^

[GaMeBoX]

I have no experience using cold fusion myself..

I have php and mysql on my server, that im also offering for the project. I can offer the help of giving you some example code, but mostly, im extremely buzy nowadays.

[Hadyn]

Example code of a full page or two would be great. W3c was a bit lacking in that department.

If you can send me a page that has all the scripting on it to connect to a database, retireve info, and later on display that info, that'd be cool. Just html stuff, I'll worry about flash another time. And yeah, if you have any other pages that show some more interesting stuff you think might help, you could send them too.

Best way would probably be to zip them, and email them to hadynlander@hotmail.com whenever you get the time.

Cheers,

~Hadyn

Another bit of bad news.

Sixto was in a MAJOR accident in which he was run over by a forklift. One of his arms is completely shattered and he won't be able to do anything with it for a long while.

I've taken over his track on the project and I hope he gets better.


Now a bit of good news.

I re-installed all my major programs and things since my PC died, and I've since gotten a little bit of my work back on the project. I've been working alot though, and will have all my tracks done by the due date of the project.

I re-installed all my major programs and things since my PC died, and I've since gotten a little bit of my work back on the project. I've been working alot though, and will have all my tracks done by the due date of the project.

Damn, I send my heart out to Sixto, and as for you Snap, good deal.

[SnappleMan]

Another bit of bad news.

Sixto was in a MAJOR accident in which he was run over by a forklift. One of his arms is completely shattered and he won't be able to do anything with it for a long while.

Yeah man, hit me up on AIM sometime so we can get everything ready for heading towards a release. There's some stuff I want to talk to you about.

Shit, thoughts go out to Juan, I hope he'll be able to heal up in the long-run. Glad your end of the project, Andy, will still be ok.

[SnappleMan]

Yeah, I'm already done with most of my work. I just need to get my soundcard tuned to my software and I'll be able to mix the finals soon. THen I can get to work on whatever else needs to be done.

[Rexy]

Oh no... :( I would say "that sucks" but still, I feel so sorry for him. I hope he'll be okay.

Still, because of this I'm now concerned about what will happen to his Jipang placement on Children of Erdrick as well as some of his stuff on Kyle, Starky and Usa's projects. Whichever happens, I will pray for the best.

[KyleJCrb]

Well, this certainly puts an interesting dent into things...

I hope for the best for Sixto. He's had a bit of a tough time with those limbs of his. :(

[SnappleMan]

Yeah, his profession and his hobbies are both dependant on his limbs. I hope he recovers swiftly and makes a mighty comeback.

[-RK-]

Yeah, his profession and his hobbies are both dependant on his limbs. I hope he recovers swiftly and makes a mighty comeback.

That's what I thought exactly. Man, I really hope Sixto can kick back from this one.

[The Joker]

Dangit. That is really terrible news. If your out there (& reading this), Sixto, keep on keeping on!

[jmr]

Whoa... best wishes to Sixto for a speedy recovery.
Glad that things are working out for you, SnappleMan.

[Upthorn]

Sixto was in a MAJOR accident in which he was run over by a forklift. One of his arms is completely shattered and he won't be able to do anything with it for a long while.

Good God man, that's insane!
At least he's alive. I hope he heals quickly.

[GaMeBoX]

Damn, boss1 sonic3 version is free ?? I would have jumped on it but im moving this weekend + got loads of stuff to do right now... Ill be putting up final versions of my two songs on my server later today. Is wav format required ?? How will that be handled ?? Is snapple to edit al wavs or ???

[Rexy]

Well my thoughts on this are if the Competition Menu interpretation doesn't go down too well as a result for the main album I might pick up Boss 1 and try that. But still, I know a lot of people are going to squabble every single last opportunity now O_o

[Hadyn]

As a note, I still haven't worked on my carnival night track for a few weeks, but I'm almost finished the coldfusion version of the html partner-site. If it's at all possible to get a cold fusion server still, that would be awesome. Otherwise I guess I'll just have to learn php. It's just a shame, because I wrote a hell of a lot of CF code. But ohwell. Maybe I'll just remove some of the less-important features and go from there.

Anyways, just thought I'd let ya'll know what's happening.

[The Joker]

OMG I finished my Desert Palace mix! Expect a pm snapple/kfc.

[herograw]

nigga all yall hatin ass nigga can slob on my knob

[Speedy]

Wow....I thought this project would be done by now, I didn't think you guys would still be working on it. Keep up the excellent work, I'm anxiously waiting for this whole thing to be done.

[Liontamer]

nigga all yall hatin ass nigga can slob on my knob
Bwahahahahaha! Nigga I Noe.

Thread has been invaded by t3h epithets.


On topic, Snapple, you'd better do doomsday and final boss right! Those are my favorite boss songs of all time, You must do a fitting nod to them.
If you do, I <3 you for all time.

[SnappleMan]

I'm now forced to delete my work and do a bad job just to spite you.

:P

anyway, the project is looking great so far. can't wait for this to be released, and I hope it surpasses Hedgehog Heaven. not saying that Hedgehog Heaven was bad, but I hope this project turns out better.

[Upthorn]

Why not say Hedgehog Heaven was bad? It had a couple cool tracks, but it was a bit of a disappointment.
On the other hand, All the songs on this project should be of a quality to be accepted by the OCR judges panel, and I look greatly forward to its release.

[KyleJCrb]

Because this isn't the Hedgehog Heaven discussion thread.

[SnappleMan]

Well, although my songs are done, I can't mix them because I haven't the samples I need. So I gotta wait for my CDs to be shipped back to me and then I'll get to finish them all up.

I'm also getting completed tracks from other members now, so that makes me happy.


READ THIS, PEOPLE!
I need info from you! All of you. Read the first post and find out what you gotta send me. If you dont have a pic or don't want one displayed, it's not a problem, just make sure you give me info! AND PLEASE SEND IT TO BOTH ME AND KFC!

[GeckoYamori]

My MSN is messed so I can't send using that. Did you want the songs as wave files? If so I'll put it up on rapidshare and PM it over.

[Nineko]

so the deadline arrived. now what's going to happen?

[SnappleMan]

Now that the deadline is here, we are collecting completed songs, and beginning to work on the release.

And Gecko, I'd prefer if you used a PM to give us your info anyway.

[Hadyn]

snapps, did you get my pm?

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Sorry I wasn't present yesterday, had a little family drama, but I will resume my normal presence withing a few hours or tommorow for sure.

EDIT - oh yeah, and I'm done with Starting Line.
EDIT 2 - Steve Vai rules, regardless of what you say SNAP!

[Rexy]

I'm also done with my competition menu track. Whether it ends up as backing music on the site or the project itself, I've done everything I can to make sure it works.

Also, has anyone heard from BrainCells? I've tried contacting him conerning his Sandopolis collab and I haven't heard anything back from him yet :?

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

He said he is going to have it done, I talked to him yesterday.

[Rexy]

Sounds good :) One tiny question though; what happened to zyko?

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

oh my god, no no no.

My mic just stopped working for no reason at all. I just got IT. ARGH, what the?

[KyleJCrb]

oh my god, no no no.

My mic just stopped working for no reason at all. I just got IT. ARGH, what the?

Make sure the Record Control didn't reset itself back to Line In.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

yeah, i checked, it stopped working.

[KyleJCrb]

Hit it on the desk a couple times.



...What? Works with mine. :P

[KingTiger]

has anybody attempted to take up boss 1 yet?

[BrainCells]

Rexy, I've replied your PM on the Shizz the day after you pm'd me. And yeah, don't worry, I'm planning to get everything done in the weekend, the song is very close to done right now :)

[Rexy]

I managed to read it; sorry if I didn't get back to you sooner, had a few other things under my belt.
Nonetheless, it's good to see things are steadily getting under wraps. Now where the hell are we going to find someone to do Boss 1? :P

Now there's a thought...this would sound really good as a hip-hop song, with or without lyrics.

If anyone want's to try it, I'd be happy to lend my vox to a hip-hop track if they want to try me out :D, done a fair bit o rapping in my day.

I could've swore there was some noob named ABC... or DDT, something like that. He made hip hop music. It was pretty good. Maybe he may even try Boss 1!

Greetings!

This is the official thread of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles Arrangement Project, "Project Chaos".

------------------------------------------------------
To All Project Artists:
We are putting together an "about the artist" section for the site. It will pop up when someone selects your song to download or clicks a link near it.
What I need from all of you is the following:

1. A fairly recent (and decent) picture of you.
2. One paragraph (not too long) that's a profile of you. Your name, age, your relationship to game music.
3. One paragraph about how you tackled and created your song.
4. A link to a homepage, email address and instant messenger screename (at your own disclosure).

Send this information to me (SnappleMan) either by PM here on OCR, email or IM.
-----------------------------------------------------

From SnappleMan:

I personally have decided to appoint a third manager to this project. We need a little help.

The person I've chosen is Rexy. I think she's very capable of handling the things that KFC and I aren't doing too well.

This project has the potential to be great, and not just one or two songs. It's time we stopped bullsh*tting around and finished this up.

To everyone who made a commitment to this project, it's time to make this your top priority (after personal life things, ofcourse). I don't want any more excuses, it's time to get this done, and do it well.

KFC made a good choice in selecting the 31st of January as the due date for final songs. You should all have them done by then, no bullsh*t, just get your work done.

From KFC:

This may be Snapple's best move yet appointing Rexy, considering that all these various loads (like other projects, managing this one, life) are leading to some ridged descions on my part, and the fact that Snapple isn't around often enough to doing anything, Rexy is sure to get our a**es in gear. Jan 31st people, see you there!

REALEASE DATE: .pending.

DEADLINE JAN 31ST!!!!!!!!!

GET THOSE TRACKS DONE
Right now it's crunch time. You guys have had plenty time to work on your tracks, and now it's time to close in and gets things done.

ATTENTION!!! You guys have kept a steady work flow throughout the project's history. You guys have truely impressed me with the lvl of skill displayed. Right now we are the stage where we all should try to focus on finishing our tracks and getting the best sound out of them that we can before preparing them for the album.

The work so far is fantastic, let's keep up this level of quality till the end!

ATTENTION AGAIN!!!
Make sure (this is for finished tracks) that you send your wav files to Snappleman and not KFC, as Snapple is in charge of the mixing of the album and what not.

IMPORTANT!!!
Send your work to BOTH of us. Both SnappleMan and KFC want your work! Talk to the both of us, send us both work, ask us both for help. Right now, we're handling seperate halves of the people, and we don't know what the other is doing. So contact both of us from now on.

NEW UPDATE! - No more posting of WIPs publically. Only send them to me, KFC, and anyone currently on the project. No non-project people should be hearing the music past this point.

DO NOT POST THE FINAL SONG HERE! Do not post it anywhere else online! Keep it a secret till the project is done! If we find that you've been spreading your song around the net, you will be canned!

Some things to note about this project, as our director KungFuChicken!(aka KFC) said, this is a team venture. Think of the project team as one big band. If you think someones work can use something, suggest it. If you want help from someone else on the project, ask them. The main goal for all of us is to produce the best possible music!

Things to consider while working
Keep your tracks at normal volumes. Louder is NOT better. If it sounds like it should be louder, LEAVE IT ALONE. If your track is considerably louder than the others, you'll either have it "adjusted" by me, or you'll have to remix the tracks at normal volumes. Keep your peaks at -0.2dB, RMS levels should not be above -14dB (if you don't know what RMS is, just be sure to keep your music from clipping).

One of my suggestions is that we do some post production on the songs that need it, after they're completed. This way, nothing will overpower anything else with loudness. Reply to this thread with your opinion on this.

Useful contacts:
KFC = senseichicken (AIM)
SnappleMan = SNKFreak (AIM)

People offering their talents:
Majin GeoDooD (AIM) - If you need gutiar work, IM him, talk to him, make plans, and he'll make you happy.

MythrilNazgul (AIM) - Our buddy Mythril has offered to the project his vox! You may contact him if you need some rapping done.

Click Here for the CORRECT Sonic 3 and Knuckles GYM files. (http://www.rayza.net/misc/SONIC3+K.rar)

As for completion of the project, there's a change in the usual way that projects here get done. KFC and I will decide which songs will make it on. Unless the songs are so close together that we can't really decide, in which case we will throw them over to you for voting. If you feel like complaining endlessly about this, best to quit the project and spare us the spamming.
(I may sound like an ass, but the most important thing is the quality of this project.)

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

why did you copy the first page onto this one?

[Arek the Absolute]

Probably because noone really reads the first page anymore after about 30 pages into the project?

[-RK-]

Probably because noone really reads the first page anymore after about 30 pages into the project?

Yeah, but usually when the front page is quoted, they specify WHY they posted it, to emphasize a point. There's alot on those front pages, so, it usually helps get things done to know exactly why the front page was quoted.

[KyleJCrb]

Maybe Snaps edited something but accidentally hit the Quote button instead?

[Arek the Absolute]

Maybe Snaps edited something but accidentally hit the Quote button instead?
As much as Ross's point makes sense, I am going with Kyle on this one.

[Rexy]

Same here. On one message board I used to visit I was once a mod, and sometimes I would click on the quote button instead of the edit button in case someone makes an odd remark O_o

Anyway, nice move. Lol.

[Hetcenus]

10. Sandopolis - BrainCells *DONE* - Live At The Sandopolis


Does this help?

:-/ I guess I take everything too seriously! Well, I'll tinker with it, and maybe I'll come up with something...we'll see.


Hmm this may seem kinda weird but w/e. I think i'd like to see what i could come up with. I don't expect it to be used on the project since i don't have any remixes posted anywhere online and am not a part of the project, but i do make my own personal remixes for my iPod so i have some experience. Don't know when i'd be able to do it(since i don't have my laptop on campus with me) but if it's still needed when i get around to making something. I'll try if anything just to give someone more capable an idea or two to help there take on the song out some. well cya and looking foward to the project. :D

[SnappleMan]

I have the flu. I'm allowed to screw up.

[Rexy]

Heads up; we might get DCT or another artist from the Urbanizm label to do S3 Boss 1 :)

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Actually Rexy, me and Myth are supposed to do it, so give me about a week to see what happens with that.

[Rexy]

Haha, what a coincidence. Myth was one of the first people I PM'd concerning that. :P

Thanks anyway. It makes me wonder what kind of direction will be taken :)

[SnappleMan]

Some fruity shit indeed o_O


I also asked Zircon to throw together a Lava Reef track for us.

Last minute tracks always come out the coolest :D

[KyleJCrb]

Some fruity shit indeed o_O


I also asked Zircon to throw together a Lava Reef track for us.

Shouldn't be too hard. :P

[The Joker]

BTW. I've yet to hear back on my Desert Palace mix. So... yeah, lemme know if it's good as is.

[SnappleMan]

I've downloaded everything but can't really listen to shit till the weekend, Joker. Worry not, I'll let you know how it is then.

EDIT: hahahaha oh man.... listening to some of these final tracks... I'm shitting my pants at how good this project is gonna be when we launch it. You fucks are so lucky... :)

[Hadyn]

Sounds good! :D

I'm sorry about the non-completion of my carnival night track so far, I'll try to fix that this weekend. I'm in the last two weeks of my course, and there are still assignments that will probably take me a month to complete, after all the *official* deadlines... So, you know, I am actually kinda busy. But yeah. The track's been basically finished for ages, just wanted to add a solo, which hopefully won't take too long and isn't too major of an addition... just want to give a little more life to the piece.

I haven't had a chance to look at converting the HTML/ColdFusion site to php yet, and I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to do that. If anyone can offer coldfusion hosting, that'd still be VERY appreciated - would save me a lot of time and pain. Hell, maybe we could ask for donations, and actually pay for server space? It just depends whether you want to wait for me to try to convert it or not. With assignments and my actual paid design work, it might be another month or longer before I even look at it.

As for the Flash website, it could still do with some more background music tracks. So far I have about... one. Atleast three total would be good, but I'm hoping for more than that if possible. As soon as it gets more tracks, it can go online. Well, I need a little info from the project directors too, but you know, the main thing holding it up is the lack of background music. I know Snapps himself was working on a piece, maybe the other project directors could help out here aswell, if they have the time? I might also begin asking mixers who aren't already on the project to consider contributing.

Well, that's about it from me for today.

Stay cool,

~hadyn

[SnappleMan]

No worries man. you're already doing so much for the project that I think we can spare a bit of time for you to get your things done.

I have to now really g through all these tracks and start analyzing them. Then contacting whichever artists THOUGHT they were finished and nicely asking for a change or two... which never goes well.

Anyway, yeah, release is gonna be soon. Not right away, but soon enough so that people will FINALLY get to hear this amazing album.

[housethegrate]

Finally got Hydrocity finished last night. Thank you, Snapple, for being patient with me. I hope the wait was worth it.

[Nicole Adams]

Finally got Hydrocity finished last night.
Great to hear! Out of all the remixes on the album, this is the one I'm anticipating the most. :)

What about "Don't insult people/curse people off"?

There are nicer ways to tell people that they've broken a rule, without making them feel like an idiot.

The community is supposed to be excited, that's the whole point in the project - you can't be angry that some people are a little, say, over-enthusiastic.

Alright, I was out of line with the genius comment. I take it back and apologize.

But seriously, asking when the project is coming out doesn't make the project come out any faster, and to be honest, there's no reason that people need to know a release date. It's not something you plan your life around. It'll be out when it's out, end of story. That's why I wrote the rules.

[Hadyn]

I agree completely, but there'll always be people who don't understand this. We've got to try and stay tolerant and keep a positive image in the eyes of the community for the sake of the project.

Anyways, it's all good now.

[Xenon Odyssey]

So an accurate question would be:

How far along is the project, say in...percentage-wise?

There. Not badgering for a release date, just a simple question that will give the answer that is wanted, without actually asking it.

Not that I honestly care for the answer...the day I see "Project Chaos" on the OCR homepage is good enough for me.

[SnappleMan]

As far as music goes, the project is 90% done. As far as overall, I'd say about 80%. There's all the site and release work we gotta do now. KFC and hadyn are the two who are really gonna get this together.

[KingTiger]

you guys need album art? I would love to make the album art.

and what about bg music for the site? I can try to work on some, just depends on what exactly you're looking for.

[Hadyn]

you guys need album art? I would love to make the album art.

and what about bg music for the site? I can try to work on some, just depends on what exactly you're looking for.

This isn't official or anything, but it's how I think things should be:

Anyone can do album art. There will likely be one "official" cover, but there'll also be bonus covers if anyone else wants to submit anything.

The extra covers would be unique to the Flash website, and would be hidden around so you could find and 'unlock' them, along with other bonus content.

This is official:

As for the background music, a short track (about 1-2 minutes) that uses any of the themes from sonic 3 and knuckles is fine. It can be a medley, or just use one of them, whatever. Quality isn't as uber important as for the main project tracks, but we still want stuff that sounds good. Any other questions, feel free to ask!

Hey, sorry if I came off as Rude, it wasn't my intention, I was just curious to when the project would be released.
The original 4 Sonic games have a Special Place in my memories, as did the music, so I'm fairly intrested in this project! ;)

[Hadyn]

Why does Special Place have capital letters?

[SnappleMan]

It's a zone... for forum trolls :D

[Antipode]

Hah, I might work on some background music for the site. I'll see what happens. I'm thinking a version of one of the menu themes from the Sonic Mega Collection...

[Hadyn]

It'd be awesome if you did some music, but make sure to tie it in to sonic 3 and knuckles. It doesn't have to be a direct remix, but aslong as it hints at one or more of the s3k themes it's alright!

[Antipode]

And I'll make sure it doesn't really have too much of a melody, as, of course, it's bg music.

[Hadyn]

It can still have a melody - I mean, something sort of ambient is good, but we don't want it to be boring ^^

[-RK-]

I think I'll try and make a BG tune while everyone else is doin what they do to get this sombitch out there.

[Hadyn]

Sounds good, thanks for helping out!

[KingTiger]

weeell, it looks like the bg music is taken care of, so I'll get started on some album art. :D

[Nineko]

first of all, I'm not asking "when is this going to be released?", because I don't like to break guidelines.

I just want to ask, shouldn't the thread title be updated? it's been "Project Chaos - .deadline Jan 31st.**Major Announcement!!**" since a pretty long while, and that deadline is over by two weeks now...

no more news that deserve the spotlight in the thread title?

"Project Chaos: WE PWNZ0RZ J00 N00BZ!"

Aaaand it would appear that Lava Reef is open again.

[Rexy]

For the love of Chaos... not again? O_o
Right, unless we can find a viable match that may be something I'll be up to do. Although, with Red Tailed Fox on holiday and Prophecy still seeming to be MIA in terms of remixing I may fall short with the contacts that I have X_x

I COULD DO IT! :)

If Snapple approves...

[Antipode]

Urgh, I thought this might happen - I was working on a background tune...with sorta the marble garden melody...and it got more and more of a melody...and it wound up being a full-scale remix. So count me out on the bg stuff, unless I manage to try another one. It seems like this always happens to me...

Um...I sorta already was doing a mix and presented it to Snapple, and then polished it up and finished it...

That's why when I wrote "approves", I mentioning toward if he approves my mix...BUT, that's again me speaking in codes that only I understand.

Maybe next time, alrighty?

[KingTiger]

ok. good luck, in any case. :D

[Hetcenus]

I may fall short with the contacts that I have X_x
Good opportunity to incrase your IM List...

[SnappleMan]

Or to collaborate with Hetcenus on what could possibly be the greatest piano renditio of Lava Reef known to man.


Just an idea... :D

[Hadyn]

As long as it sounds good, it doesn't matter too much if it doesn't feel entirely background-ish. Somewhat unfortunately, right now anything is better than nothing.

[Rexy]

Or to collaborate with Hetcenus on what could possibly be the greatest piano renditio of Lava Reef known to man.


Just an idea... :D
Lava Reef for two pianos, anyone? :) If that idea does go ahead I'll let Het start, considering my week is swamped enough as it is.

[Antipode]

Ok, Hadyn, I'll PM you in a few hours with a good loopable version of it. I suppose it could work - but I'm just hoping it's not going to confuse anyone with the real Marble Garden mix, which is undoubtedly better than mine (being Danny B). But all right, I'll get back to you in awhile.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Hetcenus is a star, watch this kid. Anyway, 155 bucks I just copped plus going to guitar center within 2 hours equals YEEEEESSSS.

[jmr]

Hetcenus is a star, watch this kid.
And if anyone has any doubts of this, just wait until you hear his piano rendition of 'Ice Cap'. No words can describe its awesomeness.
Congrats on your new guitar purchase, KFC.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

-mic- not guitar, and man, Ice CAp has never sounded this good, and thanks too Red Tailed Fox, wow.

[Antipode]

Ok, Hadyn, consider yourself PMed.

[Kanjika]

Crap, im going to need a violinist for Hidden palace, cause my synthetic violin is just sucking. I found one good person awhile back on VGmix but that site is down for the moment.

Anyone know someone who can record violin? I tried the request thread but got no answers.

[Rexy]

From the top of my head, there's po!, Midee, norg and MagiNinjA who can provide violin services. Sue me if I forgot someone X_x

[Hadyn]

This is a note to all of you who have offered to work on background music - it doesn't have to loop. Infact, looping is a bad thing, it should have a clear start and end. All of the bg tunes are going to play in sequential order, so they don't need to repeat :)

Antipode, I listened to your mix. There a bits and pieces I think you could salvage into a more suitable background piece, I'll give you better feedback in a couple of hours when I'm home from college.

Yeah, I'd very pleased to collab with Rexy, if my track from HER project weren't pissing me off... can't just go much further on it... :evil:




Were you all serious about this???????

[Mr. Fox]

and thanks too Red Tailed Fox, wow.

But I though you werent going to use the song with　my　piano sample... Change of plans?

[Hadyn]

Thought the project directors would be happy to know that I have a "finished" version of my Carnival Night tune. KFC got all serious on me thismorning, and it actually motivated me to temporarily drop my assignments and work on the damn song - and I feel better for it. I'm off to sleep now, but if I get some time tomorrow I'll send out a copy to you, ze leaders, and you can lemme know what you think. On a similar note, what's the best way to get the song out to each of you guys - considering time differences make msn a little difficult and all?

~Hadyn

[SnappleMan]

and thanks too Red Tailed Fox, wow.

But I though you werent going to use the song with　my　piano sample... Change of plans?

KFC didn't know that I didn't want to use your version. Sorry :)

[KingTiger]

Ok, I have the front album cover done. I'm PMing it to Snapple, Rexy, and KFC. Is there anybody else I need to send it to?

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Hadyn. WOW. You my friend are done. 6 tracks to go, 4 of them involve me. 2 of mine are almost done, 1 of the 6 (Joker)is basically done. The other 3 includes a rap track (fast work), Kanjinka and I, and Lava Reef whom will still need a mixer for. In other words, REAL CLOSE people.

[Kanjika]

Damn soundsonline for being slow sending my stuff...one buisiness day, yeah right.

[Rexy]

Yeah, I'd very pleased to collab with Rexy, if my track from HER project weren't pissing me off... can't just go much further on it... :evil:
Don't panic, I am sure to comment on it before the weekend. And if you thought that was rough, I already have rough spots this week with TWO project WIP deadlines and some college work to hand in by Friday (which is based on working on a team that I really detest working with, on some video database or other).

Were you all serious about this???????
I don't know if Snapple was or not, but the project needs a Lava Reef remix, whichever way we can :)

[Kanjika]

NO SCHOOL. HORRIBLE ICE STORM! Guess i can get my tracks finished a bit earlier :).

[Hadyn]

Hadyn. WOW. You my friend are done.

Man, after almost a year working on this it feels pretty surreal. If you or the other directors need anything changed though - after a few more listens - that's still fine. If the other directors haven't heard it, maybe they can pm me about how I should send it to them, or they can get it from you.

Meanwhile I still have shiteloads of assignments. I will, however, try to work on a cd cover and some other little bits and pieces in my spare time.

As far as the conversion of the site goes (from coldfusion to php), I dunno. It'll have to wait atleast a few more weeks, until I'm done with college. I also have a paying web-design job which I should probably get started on... but I'm sure I'll have enough free time to get things working in the background. Maybe I can find someone else to help me convert, who knows.

So yeah. That's where I stand!


Just as another note, kind of pointless, but both websites I've done for Project Chaos (the Flash + the HTML/ColdFusion) have also been college assignments.

Kind of unfortunately the Flash one only got me a credit (aiming for a distinction there). I don't think the lecturer realised that I actually scripted stuff like the inbuilt music player myself. Ohwell.

The HTML/ColdFusion one is being marked twice, once for the scripting and again for the design. The scripting was marked today, and I'm proud to say I got an A. The design's not yet marked... I expect a credit though, because I didn't try to make it too amazingly detailed - I wanted the Flash website to be the fancy one, for obvious reasons - so this one's nice and clean. I wish I could you show guys, but alas I have to convert it from ColdFusion to php before I can put it up on a server (unless anyone can find a free ColdFusion server, which is really unlikely).

So yeah. There's some insight for ya'll!

[Mr. Fox]

No worries!

Okay, you won. I'm on vacation till March....

Anyway, I've started Lava Reef yesterday and, unexpectedly, it developed really fast. I hope to finish it tomorrow.
And in case you are able to work on it: wouldn't it be better if you added your touch to the piece (like a revision of an arrangement) instead of a two-pianos composition?

[Antipode]

This site sounds excellent. I look forward to seeing it.

[KingTiger]

same here.

[Rexy]

And in case you are able to work on it: wouldn't it be better if you added your touch to the piece (like a revision of an arrangement) instead of a two-pianos composition?
So you're saying that you want the arrangement for solo piano and are hoping for me to tweak the composition a little bit when you're done? Or are you meaning something else altogether? Just curious :)

I think he means:

He makes an arrangement
You change bits and pieces of the arrangement to make a new arrangement.

That's how I read it anyways ^^;

[Rexy]

Ah, so that reminds me of the amount of editing I did on k-wix's notation on "Key of Destiny", or something :)

[The Joker]

I'm pretty sure I'm Done with my Desert Palace mix. I sent a wav to Snapple already. Oh, & KFC, if you still have it, could you render my Death Egg piece & send it to Snapple.

[Nineko]

hey, what if we play three pianos? just an idea... don't kill me

[-RK-]

Anyway, I've started Lava Reef yesterday and, unexpectedly, it developed really fast. I hope to finish it tomorrow.


Hot Damn you work fast! Great news anyway, and I'm glad you could pick it up man.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Dude, now there are two people shooting for lava reef. chill.

[Rexy]

Wait, so if Het (and possibly me alongside him) is doing one competing mix, who's doing the other? O.o

[Speedy]

Wow, I can't belive you guys are still working on this. Keep up the good work, I'm anxious to download this entire soundtrack! 8)

[Hetcenus]

DO NOT POST THE FINAL SONG HERE! Do not post it anywhere else online! Keep it a secret till the project is done! If we find that you've been spreading your song around the net, you will be canned!greetings people, look what I've found on - LINK REMOVED . :roll:

Maturity is brewing strong with this cat. Anyway, Xenon, you can still try, we are seeing who can come up with the best track.

you should know that 'INU' means 'dog' in japanese.

All of you should try! Tracks that don't get used will still be available fr download as BONUS CONTENT. Right now there's not a whole lot of that, so some more would be nice!

Snapple already has my mix. All I would need to do is send him the wav, and that's it.

But the only reason I would like to my mix used (besides personal gratification) is so that there is more diversity on the album. I see guitars and pianos. No saxophones! Not cool.

But bonus content is still nice. ;) I'm happy either way.

You lose, for the most part. There are quite a few guitar tracks and piano tracks, but varity is strong.

[Xenon Odyssey]

You lose
I knew that.
There are quite a few guitar tracks and piano tracks, but varity is strong.
No saxophones...*sigh*

Eh. Not my project; I shouldn't be complaining. I'm still surprised you guys actually took my mix.

Alright, I'll stop bickering now. ;)

[KyleJCrb]

Will there be a 'Sonic 1' remix project after this?

There will be if anyone wants to do it. It's not like these things are planned out or anything. :P

[Antipode]

I'd say probably not, just because people who wanted projects for non-remixed games would probably explode.

[-RK-]

I'd say probably not, just because people who wanted projects for non-remixed games would probably explode.

Yeah, 99% chance it wont happen, at least for quite a while after this one comes out. People need breaks from constantly writing songs for different projects.

.... indeed :(

[Rexy]

Well the only thing that instigated this project to begin with were the general public's reaction to Hedgehog Heaven. I don't know if we could instigate a future Sonic project, though if anything Sonic 1 would be perfect material for something like OLR to mess around with :)

And Snapple, watch out for a finished WAV in your inbox pretty soon. Het and I have decided that the render I sent you last night would be the finished version for the project (unless Geoff and/or Xenon do better, of course).

[Xenon Odyssey]

though if anything Sonic 1 would be perfect material for something like OLR to mess around with :)
:lmassoff: We've got, lemme see here, MC Gerkin's R-Type project (http://www.olremix.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3133) that features singing/rapping about your favorite animals, Mystical Buffalo Jimbo's Katamari Damacy project (http://www.olremix.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3122) (which I see you are a part of, Rexy), the_p00t's Kirby's Microphone (http://www.olremix.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1941) which is for the first Kirby's Dreamland and has to have some type of vocal instrument in the songs, LAOS' Mario FingerPaints for the game Mario Paint (http://www.olremix.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1713), AND my Running the Gauntlet project (for the original Gauntlet soundtrack) (http://www.olremix.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1785). AND we are still trying to wrap up OLRina of Time (http://www.olremix.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=574) which was started back at the end of July and is practically completed, the only thing that needs to happen is someone to compile the songs and make the site.

So yeah, we could do it, but I doubt anything would happen with it unless we start having rules for Site Projects like OCR here (but that would ruin our good parody fun).

Since I just ranted about OLR, I'll inform ya that today is our first birthday.

(unless...Xenon do[es] better, of course).

:lmassoff: Xenon Odyssey (http://www.olremix.org/phpBB/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=72) vs. Rexy (http://www.ocremix.org/remixer/rexy/)?

That's like those AOL commericals where the everyday people go up against the professional, expect that the everyday people get what's coming to them.

[Rexy]

Since I just ranted about OLR, I'll inform ya that today is our first birthday.
o_O() There was me thinking that was June 3rd. Goes to show that I get my dates muddled up, doesn't it? Happy one year of OLR.

I know that the site has a lot of projects getting started up, but also, so is here as of late. We have this one, Doom 2, Super Dodge Ball, Dragon Warrior, Kirby Superstar and Tales of Phantasia/Symphonia residing here alone, and there's many other potential candidates for officiality (is that a word?) in the WIP: OCR forums.

Don't panic about strict regulations concerning site projects at OLR, because compared to us, OLR seems to be standing on terra firma while we're heading towards the quicksand direction (!).

I wish I could stick by the statement with the Katamari project, but we did see that Jimbo scrapped the idea. (hasn't he heard of WIP deadlines?? oh well...) I'll still work on it a little more as a standard OLR sub.

Before I forget, why the pessimism on thinking that we might topple you? You're the Mighty Sexophone, so I know you can push the power of the sax in some shape or form :)

[SnappleMan]

Has anyone gotten any word on KFCs condition? I heard he's sick or someshit, but other than that I dont know shit.

[Kanjika]

I haven't heard from him either. He usually messages me on MSN once in a while...

And po should be recording the violin for hidden palace soon, and i will be sending the wave files to you, snapple. I just hope KFC can still play guitar for credits.

[SnappleMan]

If not, I can always do it.

[-RK-]

Has anyone gotten any word on KFCs condition? I heard he's sick or someshit, but other than that I dont know shit.

Yeah, he's pretty tore up sick wise. I can call him and see his current condition. He did say he was getting better though, so, he should be back soon (hopefully).

EDIT: KFC called me last night. He's in the hospital, and is pretty fuckin suck. Give him your best.

[k u n g f u c h i c k e n]

Hi guys, lemme make this message quick, I'm on a gang of meds right now. Basically I caught some kinda flu virus I can't pronounce that is kicking my white blood cells' ass. I got a shot while I was in the hospital (you guys have no idea how boring TV can get when that is all you can really do :( ) And it's supposed to rejuvinate (or whatever) the cells. Till then I'm just all types of sick moping around like a little bitch and what not, not getting paid because my bullshit boss has a no work no bread policy. In my absence, Snapple, if I'm not up by Monday, please take over the guitar work on Credits. I was pretty far off in Boss 2 to keep going, and as far as Boss 1, try to see if someone else can grab it on the production end, but I most likely can still provide vocal work to it. Oh, and if anyone can, tell Prizm that I won't be able to rap on his track because anything that can do wrong will go wrong (thanks Murphy's Law... or whoever's law it is). Kep a strong head for me, I feel worse than when this fine ass bitch gave me blue balls a few weeks back at the club. Chow.

[Hetcenus]

Oh, hell... Well, I hope you get better, man. And quickly, we need those lots of asses and bitches. Snapple's only are not enough.
