Tales Series: Summoning of Spirits - History

[Kureejii Lea]

I've been really busy with anime remix 3.0, the final fantasy 7 project, Tetris Attack project, 3 projects at work, and trying to defeat the Twin Emperors with my guild in World of Warcraft =P

oh, and I've been sick the last week.

I'll get you the song in the next 2 days, it's basically done anyways, just needs a clever ending other than a continuous drum loop (default reason thingy).

Cool. Thanks for the heads-up.

[KyleJCrb]

Those of you with unfinished/unsubmitted tracks have an email. Don't worry, you're not in trouble. Yet. :P

[Geoffrey Taucer]

And now...

Your first taste of the project is finally here, folks!

Holy damnit christmas.

This is fucking amazing.

[KyleJCrb]

Thanks for the comments, Taucer. Hale did a totally awesome job. There's more where that came from. ;)

The lack of responses to this email confuses and worries me... I'll try more direct means of contact here in a day or two.

Sorry.

But wow. That mix is quite simply amazing.

... that was a (hilarious) joke. :(

WAITING FOR RELEASE.

OH OH.

WHEN YOU WILL BE HERE IN MY ARMS!

WAITING FOR RELEASE.

OH OH.

WHEN YOU WILL BE HERE IN MY ARMS!

COME SAIL AWAY COME SAIL AWAY COME SAIL AWAY WITH MEEEEEE

[Kureejii Lea]

Kyle, why are you sailing instead of being on AIM, you booger?

[KyleJCrb]

Kyle, why are you sailing instead of being on AIM, you booger?

Because the video games beckoned, and now my girlfriend does. I'll be on at that later time, sometime. Eventually.

[Kureejii Lea]

Fine. Later, sometime, eventually, I'll go back to working on your pic, then, because I need to ask a coupla things about it.

That and I have project-related stuff to nag you about.

[KyleJCrb]

Yes Master. I'll be there tonight.

[DeathShadow]

Heard an audio deformation at 2:57. D'oh! I can't believe I missed that. I'd go back and fix it, but I lost my latest build of the song due to a recent HD crash. The backup I have is old compared to how much work I got done on the latest version. Ah well, live and learn.

I appreciate the constructive criticism a ton! The areas I need to improve in seem to be things I repeat with each new song I create, so I'll be applying what I know now to my next remix.

Anyways, I'm glad you guys are digging the song. rock on. \m/

I... dont hear this audio deformation? ... What should I be looking for?

GODAMMIT I looked for it and now I won't be able to listen to the song without hearing it.

Ignorance is bliss.

[pu_freak]

Ignorance is bliss.

Why do I have the strange urge to eat a steak all of a sudden...

[KyleJCrb]

Alright, so TheDeath finished up Hydropolis. One step closer!

Speaking of steps, there haven't been very many lately, and I'm a bit worried. I sent out an email over a week ago to all unfinished remixers (except SnappleMan, who I'd been talking to personally on AIM), and nobody except TheDeath had any contact in any way with me about it. There are some of you that are extremely close to done, but have been stuck in the "near-done" status for quite some time. On the other hand, there are a few that haven't even started yet. So, I NEED to hear from you guys regarding the status of your songs, or I'm going to start replacing remixers, or possibly just removing some songs altogether. Even though we're waiting for Project Chaos to release first, this isn't a time to slack off: We need these songs as soon as possible so everything for the website and mastering can be finalized and we can be ready for release when the time comes. So please contact me if you're not done with your song, and let me know what's up!

[Dhsu]

Haha...the problem is that the people who need to read that probably never check the forums. :D

[The Joker]

I'm pretty sure they've gotten emails as well, dang slackers.

[pu_freak]

I do hope that somebody will step up to take "Raising a Curtain". It's not a too difficult song and I think there's potential enough for a good ReMix

[KyleJCrb]

I'd really like to hear back from klm on it before I do anything.

[klm09]

Y halo thar, klm here. Ok, the reason for why I still haven't submitted a WIP is because I have like 20 different attempts to do something rock / metal based.. a slow Scorpions-style ballad.. a sort of mid paced hero metal gallop riff thing.. a kind of techno metal thing.. and a dozen other permutations.. but all my attempts end up sounding like crap. I've become convinced it's impossible to make a good guitar rock style remix of that, which is what I originally set out to do.. or, at least, it's impossible for me, without really adapting it into something with very little semblance to the original.

Anyway, I've now become convinced that TRANCE is the way to go here.. but, with no real knowledge of the project as a whole, I have no idea how that would fit. And I have a gut feeling it wouldn't. I can make a pretty kick ass trance mix out of it, of that I'm sure, but if that's not what you're looking for, I understand.

[Dhsu]

There aren't any genre restrictions for the project as far as I know. I think we could definitely use some good trance.

[PriZm]

Trance with guitar could be awesome. Arpeggios with a 3/16 delay and leads with a strong phaser and wide stereo image always do the trick.

[klm09]

Ok, brilliant. :) I'm going away until thursday tomorrow (and after this post am not going to be online until then), and with work and other things, I'm not sure when I'll have a WIP ready, but hopefully I'll get something worth presenting done before this week is over.

[Kureejii Lea]

Indeed. Whatever you feel like doing, go for it.

Also, while I know most people leave it til the end to think of a title, but if you already know what you wanna call the track, lemme know ASAP. It'll help me get some stuff out of the way sooner.

[KyleJCrb]

More trance (I like PriZm's trance with guitar idea: That'd be a new direction to go with the project for sure) is always welcome, so if that's how you feel like going with the track, then of course go with it. ;) Glad to hear an update from you, man.

[The Mutericator]

I think we could definitely use some good trance.

yesplz

[DeathShadow]

...

... you mean that audio deformation is that ever so tiny click noise?

[Hale-Bopp]

yes, and for that I apologize. I thought my ears had already picked out everything before I released the track, but I somehow missed it. I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, so that sort of thing eats at me.

If/when the day comes, I'll redo some tracks on there for an official OCR submission...and next time I won't be using a computer that's nearly a decade old and can barely keep up with things.

[Dhsu]

Yay, almost 75% done! Good work guys, we're gettin' there. :)

[KyleJCrb]

Yay, almost 75% done! Good work guys, we're gettin' there. :)

We're up to 75% now. :) Things are lookin' pretty good.

[Rexy]

Do you want to take that back? (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=88373) :?

[KyleJCrb]

Just saw that. If Myth feels like reworking it, we'll use the new one. Otherwise we'll leave the current version in place as is.

[Vilecat]

Yay, almost 75% done! Good work guys, we're gettin' there. :)

We're up to 75% now. :) Things are lookin' pretty good.They better be xO!! ;)
Don't give up guys, this looks like it's gonna be a new top-quality project when it'll be finished.

[Navi]

Seeing as how there's some time before release, I'm rewriting parts of my mix out so that it a) sounds better and b) it'll pass on the panel resubmit.

;)

[KyleJCrb]

UPDATE: Not much, except we got one new WIP. I know we've got some time before Project Chaos comes out, but we might need to step up the pace a bit here...

[Azreous]

Bumped for at least moderate justice. Maybe as high as great.

Kyle, does the logjam of OCR1500 and Project Chaos' release mean this potentially could get pushed until around Christmas time? Obviously I have no control of this whatsoever, just wondering.

EDIT: Apparently I was about an hour premature about the answer to part of this question (see: OCR1500).

[KyleJCrb]

Nope, I'd say with the release of 1500, we're looking at probably early October. Notice I said "probably": We'll have to see how far off Project Chaos is, as well as getting the rest of this project done within that time before I can make any truly solid estimates.

In other words, get ready remixers: We may be at crunch time sooner than you think. :P



Also, congratulations to djpretzel and OCR for making it to yet another milestone. Thanks for allowing us to play a small part in it, Dave. :)

[Usa]

New WIP posted at the SoS forums, final version will be there pretty soon. Sorry for being late... :/

[Kureejii Lea]

That's fine. I'll check it out when I'm more awake. =P

On a less positive note... (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=88376)

[The Joker]

yeah, my song got NO'd, but then again, all the things that got it a no are things I like about the song. I'll eihter make a OCR Edit, or just not resubmit it.

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, not too much activity lately. I'm not sure just what exactly is going on with Project Chaos, what with the locking of the thread, but we're definitely going to be in on this well into October, I'd say. I really need to get some status updates from some of you regarding your tracks, so if I haven't talked to you in awhile, expect an email, IM, PM, or some other contact (like showing up at your front door). :P

[pu_freak]

If the only (main) reason is that the mix doesn't have enough "copied" melody, there's nothing to worry about.

And I think we're all wondering what's up with Project Chaos, but I'm sure it'll be fine in the end. The least thing the Tales Project deserves is less attention becuase it's released at the same time as Project Chaos

[KyleJCrb]

I didn't really have much of a problem hearing the source in Joker's mix: A few of the other remixes on this project have even less of the remixed track in them than his did. :lol:

I've gotta talk to SnappleMan anyway, so I'll find out what's up. PC should be pretty close by now, but we'll see. There's still a good number of tracks that are being worked on anyway.

[Usa]

Finished my mix.

So anyone here kindly shut their face and get going with the rest of the songs :lol:

Thanks again Kyle for this more than just great project, I can't wait for the release ^-^

[Z]

just wanted to support your project kyle.Never played this game before,but sounds enterresting and one that could be a big hit once released.

[KyleJCrb]

Thanks again Kyle for this more than just great project, I can't wait for the release ^-^

Don't forget Lea!

Thanks, Usa and Z. :)

[Rexy]

Apparently VGF84 is out and ready for the public. Do you suppose ********* has been given public exposure too? 8O

[KyleJCrb]

Shhhh! That's supposed to be a secret for the hardcore VGF listeners! :P

[Rexy]

That's true, but why did you censor it? You know that anyone reading this will soon stumble across the playlist for that show. :P

[KyleJCrb]

That's true, but why did you censor it? You know that anyone reading this will soon stumble across the playlist for that show. :P

'cause I'm just silly. :P

[KyleJCrb]

News to report (and I'm double posting because I CAN!):

TheDeath's remix of Hydropolis has recently been accepted by the judges to be posted on OCR. Congratulations, ElDeatho!

The SoS website (http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject) is now back online, and will feature preview songs, with a new track released every week or so for awhile. Enjoy the previews!



Project Progress:

As for the rest of the project, progress is a bit slow, and I have been quite lax in keeping contact with a good number of you guys who aren't done. Current status of Project Chaos is unknown, but I'd really like to start getting the ball rolling again a bit so we can at least be almost done with the music by the time PC rolls out (watch it come out tomorrow).

As far as recent progress, Usa has recently finished his remix of Desert Flower, and work rolls on for the Last Battle collaboration, which may possibly be one of the largest collaboration of musicians to date in a video game remix. Master Hatchet has recently come aboard and will be providing some hawt guitar licks (along with PriZm, hopefully), while zircon will be wrapping the whole thing up in a nice, tidy package of listening goodness with his mixdown and mastering skills. The addition of those two brings the total number of remixers involved up to 8, ON ONE TRACK! May seem like a lot, and you might think it'll make for some damn schizophrenic music, but it's actually coming along very nicely and I'm happy with the progress so far.

As for the songs that aren't done yet, expect some PM/IMage from me here pretty soon. Over and Oot!

[Sixto]

I've just posted my final mix of Summoned Without Reason over at the forum. Let me know how you want me to send the wav file.

[Usa]

Yay!! Sixto is so damn cool! :)

[KyleJCrb]

Sixto, much love to you. Now we just need a Raine's Theme. :P

Do you have the ability to host any .wavs on your own space? If not, there's a thread in the WIP forum detailing how to upload to my webspace, or you can just send it to me on AIM or something. Let me know.

[Sixto]

Okay, updated ONE LAST TIME. I think this is finally it, I promise. :lol: Yeah, I'll upload the wav and send you a link to it.

[KyleJCrb]

Oh, wow. Okay, that rules. I bow to you.

[Bongo Bill]

I'm still mirroring this. In case you've forgotten. Which would be understandible given how long you've taken on this. Slowpokes.

[Sixto]

Aaaand, one final update. Just had to fix the levels a bit. Too squished by the limiter. Also uploaded the wav file.

[Sixto]

Chaotic Heart (Raine's Theme) done and posted. :)

[KyleJCrb]

I'm still mirroring this. In case you've forgotten. Which would be understandible given how long you've taken on this. Slowpokes.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. Your name is in the first post. :P

Sixto is the best ever.

[Azreous]

The new preview is pretty tight.

There is one other thing that's going to help with the wait: Tales of the Abyss. October 10th can't come soon enough.

On an unrelated (and probably already covered somewhere else in this massive thread) note, has anybody else heard the 10th anniversary battle track from Abyss' OST? It's called Everlasting Fight, and is pretty solid if unspectacular. Both Tales of Destiny and Tales of Phantasia's battle themes were redone, along with one I didn't recognize. You can check it out here: (EDIT: Linking to copyright soundtrack files is not allowed on this site. Sorry!)

[KyleJCrb]

I've heard it. It's no PriZm, that's for sure. :P

The battle theme songs are in this order:

Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Destiny 1, Tales of Eternia, Tales of Destiny II, Tales of Phantasia, Tales of the Abyss.

Merci. That would explain why I didn't recognize the part in the middle; Eternia's the only one I haven't played. I figured it had to be from that.

[KyleJCrb]

It would seem that the website is down.

[pu_freak]

It would seem that the website is down.

Now that's a first :P

[Sir_NutS]

man we remixers are such a bunch of lazy farts. This project has taken longer than it should. But hey what the hell, it'll be the best project since KiC, so hell it'll be worth the wait.

[KyleJCrb]

man we remixers are such a bunch of lazy farts. This project has taken longer than it should. But hey what the hell, it'll be the best project since KiC, so hell it'll be worth the wait.

Admittedly, it's mostly my fault. I've been quite busy lately, plus I have a family member in the hospital who's been there for over a month and isn't doing very well, so my time and drive to work on this project is fairly limited. Lea is also busy, and her tasks are somewhat seperated from mine anyway, so it's not really her job to do what I've been doing. :P

I'm actually not too surprised that this project has taken this long, considering the full scope of what we're going for (the 40 track count, namely), so even though I would've liked it to have been done sooner, we're not as far behind as you might think. There's only a few tracks left! Hopefully I can find the time to get on the remaining remixers here soon, and maybe Project Chaos will get released sometime before New Years. :P

[Azreous]

plus I have a family member in the hospital who's been there for over a month and isn't doing very well

Best of wishes.

On the plus side, if the biggest problem you end up having is that PC is blocking SoS's release, you're in pretty good shape. At least at that point all the tracks will be done and rarin' to go.

[Sir_NutS]

now that I thik about it you're right. The initial scope for the project was very wide, so the time it has taken isn't that much compared to all the effort involved. Also I'm really happy that every track I've heard is no less than great.

[Kureejii Lea]

Site's back up.

Now if someone could tell me why my account won't stay logged in, everything will be super-disco-happy!

If all else fails, switch to FireFox. :P

[The Mutericator]

it'll be the best project since KiC, so hell it'll be worth the wait.

Wrong, Bound Together. Which was the best thing since KiC.

If you can beat Bound Together, you're all promoted to godhood. Because I've yet to get sick of BT.

[Rexy]

Bound Together doesn't count. I know some people would like it, but at the end of the day it's not an official project.

Anyway, yes... lemme at those previews 8)

[KyleJCrb]

Bound Together doesn't count. I know some people would like it, but at the end of the day it's not an official project.

I know why you feel that way Rexy, but I don't think it's any less of a project than what we've been doing here, no matter who's involved with it or what sort of recognition it received.

[Rexy]

I wasn't talking about what it got in return, Kyle. :P All I was saying was that their home bases were particularly different. Bound Together had a different base as it was already, having centered itself around VGMix/OneUpStudios for most of the time, so why do we have people who think of comparing an almost complete OCR project to something that's pretty much entirely different?

Nonetheless, I might as well shut up :oops:

[The Mutericator]

Bound Together doesn't count. I know some people would like it, but at the end of the day it's not an official project.

'Cuz OCRemix is oh-so-official, am i rite?

[The Joker]

I didn't really like Bound togethor to much. Some of the songs, mainly the trance stuf by OCRemixers, were the only thing I actually kept from the whole project.

Having said that, this project will rock your socks. I'd say this & Project Chaos will set a new bar for compilation projects in general, OCR or other!

[watkinzez]

Bound Together as a bunch of remixes is generally excellent. Bound Together as a project is flabby, sluggish and disjointed.

I'm liking Summoning of Spirits in terms of its structure so far.

[KyleJCrb]

An email has been dispatched to the remixers who currently have unfinished arrangements. If you are one of them, please respond to the email as soon as possible. Thanks.

There's also some sweet new bonus tracks on the website, so check 'em out (http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject/music.html).

[Azreous]

[The Mutericator]

Personally, I think the variety of tracks was what really made me like BT so much. I get bored listening to the same type of thing for too long, which is why even Hedgehog Heaven couldn't hold my ear for too long. BT has a great mix of offbeat, techno, and rock that keeps me from getting too bored with it.

But, as most things, it's all a matter of opinion - and this one's coming from someone who found Chrono Symphonic to be one of the biggest wastes of time and bandwith since myspace.

[Monobrow]

Hey guys, I just actually played and beat ToS, so I have a new appreciation for what you are doing. I was kind of disappointed with the endings, but anyway, good luck on the final stuff and getting this released.

Kyle, stop being guitar-biased.

[The Joker]

Yeah, what she said. Also, when are you gonna release this, it's been like forever... blah blah blah (It's been to long since someone asked that, I had to).

NEVERRRRR!!!!

Just my luck. lol

It's finally back up for me at home though, so I guess I can't complain. Never had trouble with it at work.

By the way, if people here enjoyed Symphonia and you're not playing Tales of the Abyss, you have issues. Just sayin'.

[The Mutericator]

NEBERRRRR!!!!

Fix'd.

[KyleJCrb]

New bonus track available on the website (http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject/music.html).

[Hemophiliac]

updated to the last battle thing on the project forum.

now with stuffs to listen to! :lol:

[andyjayne]

Posted some feedback. According to the thread I am the only person that has any criticism about this but to me those notes (in the screenshot provided) sound odd / wrong.

[andyjayne]

Posted over in the project forums RE: the current issue.

[KyleJCrb]

Regrettably, the collab track has been nixed. If anyone is interested in remixing Last Battle Decision from ToS, please contact me.

[The Joker]

I posted this over at the forum, but if Andy's up for it, I'd like to sign us up for Last Battle. Using midi10 of the now nixed collab. It was basically me & him at that point, & i think we can finish it within a reasonable time frame.

[klm09]

If you need guitar for the collab, I can help. Or drums.

[Sixto]

Well, since it was I who had to abandon the track in the first place, I'd like to be the one to pick it up again. Let me know what's decided.

Are you cutting me out here? *weeps*

[Kit-Tsukasa]

Someone please pick up Last Battle ~Decision~. It's my favorite song in the game T_T. I was really looking forward to a remix of it and this project is so close to completion too.

[andyjayne]

Well, since it was I who had to abandon the track in the first place, I'd like to be the one to pick it up again. Let me know what's decided.
Would this be doing it on your own? I don't mind starting from scratch if it's for a collab. I'd still like to work on this track if possible.

Joker: I'll wait and see what happens but we can always start from scratch or use just some parts from midi10. I think starting again would be best. We worked really quickly together anyway so it should be okay. Hopefully sixto is up for a collaboration with us as that could solve the issue of what's happening here.

[KyleJCrb]

Someone please pick up Last Battle ~Decision~. It's my favorite song in the game T_T. I was really looking forward to a remix of it and this project is so close to completion too.

Don't worry, it's a very important track and it will be remixed. ;)

Joker, andy: I'd prefer if you'd start from scratch. The collab track is its own seperate entity. I'll sign you two up and if Sixto wants to collab, I'll add him too. Unless Sixto wants to work by himself, then...I dunno. A Three-Way Steel Cage Match?

[klm09]

Oh wait, NOBODY'S DOING LAST BATTLE ~DECISION~!?! D: D: That's my favorite song from the game as well. I'll do it if nobody else is.

EDIT: Wait, ignore my post if I'm making no sense.. I'm kind of tired.

[KyleJCrb]

Okay, a FOUR-WAY steel cage match? :lol: We already tried one multi-person collab with the song: I don't think another would be sufficent. How about each remixer (or collab duo, as the case is with Joker and Andy) does their own version of the song, then we'll decide which one to go with for the final project, and release the rest as special bonus tracks, or something along those lines.

Just remember, if you already have unfinished songs for the project, you should focus on getting those complete before working on LBD (here's lookin' at you, klm :P).

[The Joker]

i'm in for a collab with Andy, & a guitarist, at some point. So, if you up for it Andy, let's roll wit it.

[Sixto]

I've started working on Last Battle Desicion with Hemophiliac and will have Prizm coming in as well for an old school guitar battle. I think this is going to turn out great. :twisted:

[Hemophiliac]

OOO fear the collab, 2 mins done already :)

[KyleJCrb]

So wait, who am I signing up here? XD. Okay okay okay, you sort this out amongst yourselves and then I'll take whatever any of you guys come up with. How's that?

[The Joker]

I already had a 1:40 midi uploaded a few nights ago. I also have a render. So, dangit, i don't know.

[The Mutericator]

I vote yes on Kyle's suggestion to have several different versions of the final battle.

I think if this had been planned you could have picked a better track to have several versions of, but Last Battle is pretty damned good on its own. I likes.

[KyleJCrb]

Precisely. Not to mention that there are two slightly different versions in the game anyway. I'm 90% sure that's the way we're going to do it, unless there are any objections. Remixers, check the thread in Private Discussion on the forums.

And don't forget that Fighting of the Spirit will have two versions on the project, too. :P

[Hemophiliac]

website seems down again. :(

[andyjayne]

i'm in for a collab with Andy, & a guitarist, at some point. So, if you up for it Andy, let's roll wit it.
Well I've been working on something that'd definately need a guitarist as it's currently the focus. This new one has a better direction for the track. Your new MIDI would work really well with what I've started as either a section or the ending but I definately think it's better to jump straight into the main part of the song for this collab, even if it means adding stuff to the start so that it doesn't actually end up at the beginning.

Looking at what happened last time we should keep the track from going over 4 minutes in length. If you consider that between us we have now have about 2 mins 40 seconds of material then we should work on the remaining time and stripping down / improving existing sections.

Anyway I'll send that MIDI your way. The stuff we have could work really well together. Also let me know of any improvements you think I should make to the track I send your way.

[The Joker]

Already sent you a Pim... yay pim! So yeah, le's roll wit dis!

[andyjayne]

Reproduced Disillusioned Fate. As soon as the forums decide to work for me I'll upload and post there.

[klm09]

So I figured that, with the S3K project ready for release, I should probably get cracking on my mix. :) I've progressed quite a bit, overall I think it's about 80% done now. Basically I just need to copy paste some bits from the beginning to repeat at the end and do an outro, and possibly rework small bits here and there for further polish. Or, well, that's what I think.. I hope you guys don't think what I have done is unusably bad. :D

I have a WIP uploaded, but where should I post the URL? Oh, wait. Yeah. Project forums. Ok, making post there.. NOW!

[KyleJCrb]

You has a reply, klm.


EVERYONE: Project will be remobilizing VERY soon, so if you have a song that's not finished that you're not already working on, I'd suggest getting started working on it like, NOW. :P Meanwhile, I'll KEEP typing LIKE Rama.

[klm09]

i has a shuvel

Remobilizing? So we got a release date again, ie. do you have inside info as to when the S3K project is being released? Oh, right, I guess the release date for S3K isn't much a secret LOL. Checked the project thread for that. But do we have a date?

or wut u mean by remoblizin !?1+!?1 ??11

Also, dudes and dudettes on the project comment on my remix plzkthx.

Sorry, I have a math exam in 50 minutes and I've had a bit of coffee.

[KyleJCrb]

Release date? No. Song due date? You betcha. :P

[KyleJCrb]

And here it is, the first

UPDATE

in awhile. :P

First, let me get the disappointing news out there: the project won't be released until 2007. I'm sure it was fairly obvious at this point, but I figured it'd be good to make it official.

With Project Chaos finally primed and ready to rock faces off this weekend, I think now is a good time to get back to our regularly scheduled program. We're close to complete, but there hasn't been much progress: That should (and will) change starting now.

Final songs are due DECEMBER 31ST, 2006. Unlike the July date that was pushed back and resulted in our extended low activity period, this date will firmly stand. If your song is not in to me before 2007, it will not be included on the project. I think this is a rather generous date considering how long some of you remixers have had to work on your songs, but since the issues with Last Battle, I wanted to ensure that the groups that started remixing that song had enough time to do what they needed. I will be checking regularly with those who are not done and keeping in touch for status reports. I'm really expecting a lot of work to be put in as we head towards completion, so don't let me down here!

As for release, right now we're looking at late January. I can't set a solid date because I'm not sure how long PriZm will take with mastering, and because there are still some details that will need finalizing. It's tentative though, so if we're pushed back, then that's what happens.

That should about cover it. Now, WORK! :P

[klm09]

Cool beans.

New WIP of my thang over at the project forums. Check it.

[andyjayne]

The collab I'm working on is almost compositionally complete, just need some feedback from Joker and klm09 (and of course the project coordinators).

Check the thread for the track and more info.

[KyleJCrb]

You have feedback, kAndyJoker09 (creative!).

Also, I have come up with a new dealio: Those who don't respond by December 1st to the email/PM I sent out will be booted them from the project and a last-minute replacement will be culled. Don't got time to sit and wait for people to respond to these things weeks after they get them. This should only apply to about 4 of you, and 2 have already replied, so I don't suspect we'll have a major problem. Chances are if you didn't get an email or a PM, you're clear. Feel free to contact me and make sure though.

[andyjayne]

Okay, check out the final midi over on the forums.

ALRIGHT! YOU'RE WAY OUT IN FRONT!!!

[andyjayne]

Posted a render over at the thread. Ready for recording. Issues with the track will be resolved later, I was in a rush and so rendered it on-the-fly.

[klm09]

Yo! I posted some questions and stuff at the forum, answer plzkthx LoL~~!!!

[Sir_NutS]

hope this is the definitive deadline date Mr Kyle.

Good luck, and I hope we can see this project released ASAP! It will totally rock :p

[andyjayne]

Yo! I posted some questions and stuff at the forum, answer plzkthx LoL~~!!!
Okay. Or should I say omfg geetarzzz. :(((((((

[KyleJCrb]

hope this is the definitive deadline date Mr Kyle.

Hey, don't look at me: Those pesky remixers are the ones who are causing so much gosh darn trouble 'round these here parts! :P

I'm a bit worried about the lack of response from Mythril Nazgul and Reuben...Where are you guys? Also gotta get a hold of the SnappleMan here soon...

[klm09]

Yo! I posted some questions and stuff at the forum, answer plzkthx LoL~~!!!
Okay. Or should I say omfg geetarzzz. :(((((((Indeed. :( Well, at least the filters (for some words) are gone now.

Wait a minute.. Mythril Nazgul =/= myf? I thought they were the same guy, that he changed names some time ago. :|

[KyleJCrb]

Yes, same dude. He was reworking his song but hasn't gotten back to me about it.

[klm09]

Yes, same dude. He was reworking his song but hasn't gotten back to me about it.Oh, right. :P But wouldn't myf just be so much easier to type? ;)

[KyleJCrb]

Don't make me turn the word filters back on! :lol:

[klm09]

Btw, is the track list locked? Ok, maybe I'm about a year late asking this. :lol: I'm just thinking in case someone decides to submit a finished mix of something that's not being worked on before the deadline, and it's of high enough quality to be usable, could it be included in the project? I'm not saying I will.. but I'm not saying I won't. ;) I have some ideas for a remix of the third overworld theme from ToP, but I've sort of got my hands full as it is..

[KyleJCrb]

Technically it is, although with Last Battle split into two tracks on the Symphonia side, an extra track from Phantasia to even things out couldn't hurt. The third overworld theme was actually going to be included originally anyway, so yeah, I think we could use it. :)

[klm09]

:)!! Ok! I hope I find the time to get that done before the deadline as well then.

[KyleJCrb]

:)!! Ok! I hope I find the time to get that done before the deadline as well then.

That would be the song Final Act, right? Just to be sure.

Also, if you have trouble hitting the deadline, talk to me: I'm open for negotiations (so long as the entire project isn't trying to negotiate with me at the last second, :lol:).

That's the one! Deadlines, ok, good to know. Let's see when they loom closer. ;)

[KyleJCrb]

The website will be going down for a while (hopefully less than a day, but it may be a little more) while I migrate the site to a new webhost. Don't really have much of a choice, because my current host is closing at the end of the year. Hopefully things will go smoothly!

The site should remain up for about 12 more hours, but after that it's going down for a bit.

EDIT: Okay, I lied. The new server's still not set up yet. But if the site DOES go down sometime, you'll all at least know what's up. :P

[KyleJCrb]

Alright, still no server set up. I'll be emailing them about this.

Also, I need the project directors (that'd be you, Lea and PriZm) to check out the private admin forum: Got some important things to discuss.

[Kureejii Lea]

Do you need me to hop on AIM anytime soon?

[KyleJCrb]

Do you need me to hop on AIM anytime soon?

Not for any expressly major reason, no. But if you want to... :P

[KyleJCrb]

Site's down. Transferring everything now, and it should hopefully be back up in an hour or two.

EDIT: We're back! Wow, that went through rather painlessly. Surprising. The DNS should be resolved by now too, so check it out and help make sure things are working the way they're supposed to. :)

[KyleJCrb]

New bonus song up on the website (http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject/music.html). Also going to send a reminder email out soon.

[KyleJCrb]

M-M-M-M-MONSTER POSTS

I sent out a reminder email. I will be sending one of these emails out regularly (probably at least once a week) until the deadline, so if you find them annoying, FINISH YOUR FREAKIN' SONG! :P

[Arek the Absolute]

omg hi you sexy people you

[Hemophiliac]

any updates from Sixto or Prizm on Hemixtorizm would be appreciated :lol: thanks guys.

[KyleJCrb]

Updates of ANY sort would be nice, actually. The lack of activity on the forums (http://www.kylejcrb.com/forum) and in this thread is not exactly a good sign.

[Kureejii Lea]

Has anyone happened to see Reuben Kee around anywhere lately...?

[Azreous]

I'd love to contribute some kind of activity beyond more "boy, really looking forward to this" posts, but unfortunately I've got nothing.

Hey, I can give the illusion of activity; that has to count for something!

[Murmeli Walan]

This project is rad.

[Broken]

AAAGGHHH!!! Hurry up and finish this thing already!
I've been waiting for this for EVER!! :x

No, I kid. Take your time. I want this project to be as excellent as possible. :)

But hurry up. :twisted:

*i didnt touch anything on this post but i was here - Arek*

[KyleJCrb]

AAAGGHHH!!! Hurry up and finish this thing already!

No, I kid. Take your time. I want this project to be as excellent as possible. :)

But hurry up. :twisted:

Believe me, I'd like it done just as much as you would.

*cowers*

Ohwait.

[KyleJCrb]

Well, Rexy coughed up a remix of Forest of the Treant (if Reuben shows up again and sends a finished song, we'll put it on the Symphonia side), and EgM is nearing completion of his remix of the Symphonia title screen, so we're finally moving along. Still waiting on hearing from SnappleMan and Mythril (and, as already mentioned, Reuben Kee) about their tracks. Chop chop, boys! Only a couple weeks remaining.

[KyleJCrb]

Well, we're closing in on the due date, and things are coming along. Regretfully, a few songs will not be finished by the time the due date rolls around; I've already talked to the remixers and we've reached an agreement. SO, that means we probably won't see release in January. I personally am probably just as disappointed as anyone else anticipating this project, but there are certain guidelines to how Lea and I originally envisioned SoS, and I would like to see those guidelines met before we release it. Believe me: If I felt this was ready for release right now, it'd be out: But it's not.

I'm also disappointed in some arrangers that feel unnecessary short-term obligations take precedence over a project that's been in development for over a year and a half. I understand that there is no reimbursement and not much satisfaction that comes from doing this sort of thing (depending on the type of person you are), but I'm depending on people to help do their part for this project that they have dedicated themselves to, and to find out that their obligations here get pushed out of the way to do other things instead, especially after promising that SoS would take precedence, reflects badly on themselves as well as on the project as a whole. It causes unneeded delays, unkempt promises, and huge disappointment. Please, PLEASE do not make me jump through hoops just to get you to do what you agreed to do. It's not fun.

Oover and oot.

[Sir_NutS]

Sad.

have I said before that I've been looking forwards this project the most?
too bad we'll have to wait even more :? . but as I've always said, it will rock, and will rock hard and loud.

[Jabberbox]

WOO! HALE BOPP!
good one!

[KyleJCrb]

I can't update the topic, and I'm a bit flu-ridden right now, so I'll just make the announcement here: I'm extending the due date to January 15th. There has been a lot of progress on the remaining songs in the last week or two and I hate to throw out all that work now. That should give people time to work through the rest of their Winter vacations. That's all.

[pu_freak]

When we have waited for so long, what's another month (or 2)? After the wait I want this project to be perfect. Good luck with tying the loose end up and finishing this thing. And I will finish my bonus song very soon

[klm09]

I got a WIP of Final Act up on the project forums, which seem to be down right now..? But anyway, project d00dz check it out.

[KyleJCrb]

They're there for me, but I grabbed the song already anyway. :P I'll comment when I have more time.

[klm09]

I still can't access the project forums.. am I the only one?

[Kureejii Lea]

It's working fine for me...

[KyleJCrb]

I still can't access the project forums.. am I the only one?

I checked your access settings, thinking maybe they'd reset or something, but nope. Try clearing your browser cache and see if that helps.

[klm09]

I tried that, but still nothing. I don't even get a 404 or anything, absolutely nothing loads. Oh wait, I just tried and it gave me a "Could not connect to remote server". Damn it this is really irritating. :(

[KyleJCrb]

That is very odd...

[klm09]

Still nothing. :| Well, what'd you think of the WIP I posted?

[Broken]

Oh god, remixes of my favourite tracks: Dry Trail, Like a Glint of Light, Shihna's Theme, Presea's Theme?

Where do I sign up and when can I hear these?!

I'm afraid you're going to have to wait for about twelve more days.

This thing has been a long time in the making, but it's finally almost DONE!!!

oh, and welcome to the forums, Ageha.

[KyleJCrb]

I'm afraid you're going to have to wait for about twelve more days.

Uh, January 15th song due date doesn't mean the project's coming out on January 15th: There's probably at least another month of other things that need to get finished before we can release.

However, I may decide to release a song preview, if you're all good and don't complain about the wait. :P

[Wizards Bane]

This Is Gonna Be Freagin Awsome!

[KyleJCrb]

Still nothing. :| Well, what'd you think of the WIP I posted?

Pretty good so far. It`s a good base to start from. :)

[The Mutericator]

I can't update the topic, and I'm a bit flu-ridden right now, so I'll just make the announcement here: I'm extending the due date to January 15th. There has been a lot of progress on the remaining songs in the last week or two and I hate to throw out all that work now. That should give people time to work through the rest of their Winter vacations. That's all.

Then let me offer some final cheer to the remixers still working: come on, guys (and possibly girls), you can do it! We're all counting on you, make this project kick the ass out of all the rest of them!

[KyleJCrb]

With Mythril Nazgul strangely absent for the interweb as of late, I have decided to move his song back to Complete status. If he shows up within the next couple weeks with a rework, I'll take it, but I'm not going to wait around. I've also requested that the thread subject be changed, so that won't look so weird anymore.

This is the last week before the pushed-back date, so I'm expecting a lot of work to be done. I know that some songs are very close, so let's get them wrapped up, please?

[Rexy]

I've also requested that the thread subject be changed, so that won't look so weird anymore.
Blame it on the new forum system. We found an error - while we project managers were fine to edit the topic title as we pleased, this new system won't allow us to edit this at all. What a downer.

[KyleJCrb]

Yup. Fortunately, djp is working on the fix.

But we might be out before then. :lol:

[pu_freak]

Let's hope so

[KyleJCrb]

Whoa, weird. This thread's on the bottom, yet it's showing as having the newest post. Straaaange.

Anyway, since Darkey's left us, can I get another mod to take the due date out of the thread title? Thanks.

EDIT: I guess Feedback and History threads got stickied or something. Huh.

EDIT 2: Oops! Looks like my thread sorting options were changed. Carry on as normal, nothing important or worthwhile in this post (except what I've bolded)!

[KyleJCrb]

DOUBLE KILL

Some of you may remember back when I released a small teaser featuring a pretty good number of the guitar-based songs on the project (and there's a lot, because we're more like the Summoning of Rock Spirits over here :P) called "HAWT LIXX", which I made just for fun. As an apology for the numerous delays, and to keep the public interested, I whipped up another preview in the same vein, featuring new songs that have been completed since the release of the last teaser, as well as reworkings of older stuff you might've heard before. This is almost all of the songs that feature omfg geetar wankery: There'll be a couple more not featured here, though!

May I present: The SoS SHREDDIN' RIFFZ Preview! (http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject/SoSSHREDDINRIFFZPreview.mp3)

Also, if you missed the first one: SoS HAWT LIXX Preview (http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject/SoSHAWTLIXXPreview.mp3)

Note: The lack of crossfading on these intentional. :P

[pu_freak]

*drool*

by the way... it doesn't make the waiting any easier. It's like holding a cake in front of somebody's face and you tell him he can't eat it yet. Nice, nonetheless.

[KyleJCrb]

It's like holding a cake in front of somebody's face and you tell him he can't eat it yet.

Of course. I'm a huge jerk, aren't I? :P

[andyjayne]

Oh man, the variety in production is huge and stands out ridiculously when you play them like that.

[KyleJCrb]

Oh man, the variety in production is huge and stands out ridiculously when you play them like that.

Yes, I know. That issue will be worked on in post-production. You'll see. ;)

[andyjayne]

Oh cool, you're releasing the project in a visual format too?

[Rexy]

Whoa, weird. This thread's on the bottom, yet it's showing as having the newest post. Straaaange.
I noticed that at GenDisc too. I think there's an option to alphabetise the latests posts there. This forum can't get any more intriguing than it is now. ;)

[pu_freak]

Oh cool, you're releasing the project in a visual format too?

Summoning of Spirits: The Movie?!

I thought there already were OVA's of the games (well there soon will be for Symphonia aswell).

Sound more like the "Street Fighter official game of the official movie of the official game"-thing:

Summoning of Spirits: The official movie of the official remixes of the official music of the official game...

[andyjayne]

What I meant to say was "OMFG GEETAR".

[PriZm]

Oh man, the variety in production is huge and stands out ridiculously when you play them like that.

Yes, I know. That issue will be worked on in post-production. You'll see. ;)

I will work the post-production. Now although I won't work the tracks individually, the difference will still be noticeable (like, my guitar tone will still suck compared to Sixto's) but, hopefully, not ridiculous.

[KyleJCrb]

Oh cool, you're releasing the project in a visual format too?

No no: I meant that the tracks will be remastered, to a degree. But PriZm beat me to it. :P

[andyjayne]

I know I was being sarcastic and referring to the "You'll see" comment. Damn internets.

[pu_freak]

Some people... *sigh* :P

[KyleJCrb]

You guys should kill some time by going to listen to the newest batch of DoD (http://dod.vgmix.com) entries. That's what I'm doing.

[Arek the Absolute]

lol?

[Dhsu]

You guys should kill some time by going to listen to the newest batch of DoD (http://dod.vgmix.com) entries. That's what I'm doing.
Not to mention the FF7 remix contest. I queued all of those up in my MP3 player before I left for the 4-hour trip to Oklahoma, and by the time I was through with them I was almost there.

[KyleJCrb]

Well, another unsuccessful due date. Lots of technical issues right now with some songs. I'm not setting any more due dates, but I will be on the remaining remixers' cases until they finish up. This still isn't ready: Sorry to disappoint, again.

[pu_freak]

It seems like the due date of 2011 still stands then

[Ikuaod2]

It seems like the due date of 2011 still stands then

Really? Now that's being optimistic...:P

Well when its done, its done. Though after taking this much time, it's too bad since Tales of the Abyss has been out and it has some good music. Or at least the music that could be remixed to sound better. Like Meaning of Birth for example. Some guy did a piano version of it and it sounds great! Anyway, I await patiently untill it comes.

[KyleJCrb]

Mods: Thanks for changing the topic.

Others: Don't complain. You're not helping.

Remixers: Where the fuck are you?

[SnappleMan]

Yo Kyle. Sorry about being MIA and all that. Magfest seems to really have done a number on everyone... My tracks will be on your PC on Saturday, January 27th, 2007.

Now please, unban me from the SotS message boards :C

[Dhsu]

I'm pretty sure "Fighting of the Spirit" will freaking blow you guys' freaking minds.

[The Joker]

Now please, unban me from the SotS message boards :C

I'm banned as well :(

[SnappleMan]

I'm pretty sure "Fighting of the Spirit" will freaking blow you guys' freaking minds.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong...

[KyleJCrb]

Yo Kyle. Sorry about being MIA and all that. Magfest seems to really have done a number on everyone... My tracks will be on your PC on Saturday, January 27th, 2007.

Now please, unban me from the SotS message boards :C

I have no clue how that happened: I don't remember preemptively adding your name to the list or anything, (why would I bother to do that, anyway? Haha) so I can only assume the forum did it automatically. Why? Who knows? It's fixed now though, and you should have access to the private areas.

Joker: You'll always be banned, in my heart.

Dhsu: Blowing minds, or blowing...Oh never mind.

[SnappleMan]

You should get on the AOL Instant Messenger once in a while so I can conversate with you, like we used to before project drama got between us...

I STILL LOVE YOU KYLE!

[SnappleMan]

So yeah, I was forced to give the track up to dhsu, so I can work on decisive instead. You should probably change that on the front page.

[Dhsu]

"Give the track up"? What?

You've been drinking again, haven't you. AND LAY OFF THOSE GYROS.

[KyleJCrb]

Progress has slowed to a crawl. Of course, this is pretty much my fault, since I have been ridiculously busy with 10-hour workdays as of late (if 8 hours wasn't bad enough, 10 is suicide) and don't have the time I wish I did to keep up with the remaining remixers. I'm really curious about klm09: He seems to have vanished. If anyone talks to him, let him know we need an update.

I wish I could say we are close to done, and while the status may make it look like we are, we're really not. Sit tight, folks.

[Hale-Bopp]

How's everyone doing around these parts?

[KyleJCrb]

I got in a car accident on Tuesday. 'sup with you, Hale?

[Hale-Bopp]

oh, just doing stuff

[The Joker]

I abandoned my plan to grow out my hair, & got a spiffy new haircut! It's the tops!

[Usa]

And I have been composing music for a game recently. Today is the deadline for it and I made it just in time :D

Now I can concentrate on the other stuff, like the collab with GeoffTaucer, the collab with S|r_NutS, the 4 songs I still need to do for Milkyway Wishes for Arek....oh, and I almost forgot my own project :P

[hamchook]

Hey, I've been searching around for a version of the song "Fighting of the Spirit" that I first heard used in the following SSBM combo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-v-8po6_pk So I ended on this site and discovered a whole world of video game music remixed, very cool. But, I still haven't found THIS version of the song! A link or upload of this song would make my day. Thanks in advance for anybody's assistance.

edit: I figured this would be relevant to this thread since you guys are putting together another version of the song I'm looking for in this project. I can make a new thread somewhere else if need be.

[KyleJCrb]

That would be Rubbler's version of FotS, called "Spirit in Metal" (Rubbler was actually slated to be on the project for awhile, but had to back down for personal reasons). It was on VGMix, but since that's down, I'll host and link to it for you, here (http://kylejcrb.com/miscstuff/Rubbler_-_Spirit_in_Metal(Tales_of_Symphonia,_Tales_of_Phan tasia).mp3).

If you think that's good though, wait until you hear SnappleMan's version for this project. ;)

In other news: Joker's Cold Memory is already on the panel to be judged. That was pretty damn quick. I just uploaded it yesterday!

[The Joker]

Holy poop! That was fast, I barely submitted like... Friday morning around 4-ish. Insomnia ftw!

Finally! Thanks a ton

I'll be waiting it :p

[Ciran]

I also got here because of youtube. The fighting of the spirit remix from s.s.h was music for a video there, so I searched and came here :) It's really super and I'm looking forward to this music :)

But s.s.h is different and has nothing to do with this project?

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, SSH is entirely different. They're composing original tracks for games now, like the Lost Child soundtrack. I like 'em. ;)

[Rexy]

Isn't S.S.H. just one guy? He was born Saitama Saisyu Heiki for a reason, Kyle. :p

[KyleJCrb]

What, you think I know everything about everyone? :P

Okay, SSH is one dude. And a pretty awesome dude, at that.

[Arek the Absolute]

Kyle, hit me up on aim cause I had your sn but I totally forgot it.
Also, SMILIES ARE BACK

[SargeSmash]

Please, don't tease us like that. I KNOW how good Snappleman's stuff is. It seems like he wins over at DOD almost all the time, and every track he did in Project: Chaos was gold. Someone needs to leak his version of Fighting of the Spirit. :)

Y'all keep up the great work. I couldn't compose to save my life, but I knows good music when I hear it, and I'm really looking forward to this project reaching completion.

Sarge out.

[Kureejii Lea]

Someone needs to leak his version of Fighting of the Spirit. :)

Nah. Then we'd have to kill this someone, and things would get messy.

So... has anyone seen/heard from klm09 anywhere? Anyone chat with him, see him around other sites, know of other boards he tends to hang out at...? Know if he's having computer problems or something? We need to hear from him ASAP.

[SnappleMan]

HEY KYLE! Thanks for linking to Rubblers song, I've been trying to find it for weeks.

[SnappleMan]

From what I've heard so far, Sixto has it pretty much locked up in the metal department. His tracks have some incredible guitar wankery.

[KyleJCrb]

Truth. Now you just need to add to it, my friend. :P

[Arek the Absolute]

Kyle, Lea, please IM me on AIM when you have the chance. I need to speak to you both about something important.

[KyleJCrb]

Lea's gone for like a month or something. I'm hardly able to be on, but if I'm around I'll talk to you. Or you could just PM me here.

[Kureejii Lea]

Yeah, AIM isn't lookin too likely right now. PMs would be best.

[Arek the Absolute]

PM's won't work exactly for what we need to talk about. I could talk to Kyle and he could relay the info to you, but this is an issue that needs to be talked about as soon as possible. Kyle, I leave my computer on all the time and am near it a lot, so whenever you are on, please do message.

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, AIM isn't lookin too likely right now. PMs would be best.

Holy crap, she lives!

I'll do what I can, Arek.

[Arek the Absolute]

Alrighty, just the sooner the better.

[Ikuaod2]

On the first page is a link to the website. The tracks have not been released yet. However,there are some preview links in the site. You'll find them.

[Arek the Absolute]

Left a PM in both of your inboxes saying in a nutshell what I wanted from you both.
Hope you guys are in.

[Hale-Bopp]

Anyone hear from EgM on his track? I remember catching a WIP something like 3 years ago and really liking where he was going with it.

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, I've talked to him. Several times. Still waiting.

[LuIzA]

goddamn it kyle.. it's been awhile. how have you been?

I sent you an email with a wip of the remade version of Strike, but you never replied... well, I got the final version now. gotta get that to you.

[KyleJCrb]

Huh... Never got any email from you, Luiza. Of course I've been swamped with things like work and other shit that I may have overlooked it or it accidentally got filed into junk mail. Sorry about that. It's just been one thing after another here. :(

[KyleJCrb]

A few weeks ago I screwed up and accidentally deleted some of the .wavs for the project (I still have all of the songs in MP3 form), so I just sent out a couple PMs to people about it. I also sent out an email to the last few remaining remixers with unfinished songs: If you received that one, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL respond to it! I don't care if you tell me that you completely forgot about the project, hate me, and won't work on it anymore; at least please let me know this so we can get someone else to work on the song, at the very least.

[Arek the Absolute]

Ohhh, I hate it when that happens. Happened to me twice, ask my remixers : P
Anyhow, howdy.

[Ciran]

4 songs to go?

By the way, I was wondering about this... how do you guys make those remixes? Do you all have some kind of band?

*just curiosity* :roll:

[KyleJCrb]

Each remixer has their own equipment (whether it be a full recording studio with live instruments or a computer, a $100 program, some computerized sound samples, and a great knowledge of how to use them all) that they utilize to create their remixes.

Don't get too excited: These songs have been sitting for months. :-P

[Vilecat]

YOU'RE MAKING ME GO INSANE HEEEEEERE GRAAAAAH! *twitch*
I dusted up the Take up the Cross remix from S.S.H. recently, and it brought back my craving for some ear-lusting Tales goodness. In a way it doesn't surprise me people are being hard to contact at this time of the year, but it still sucks. I hope for you guys that this problem won't last long.

Here's a lessthanthree to keep it up
<3 !!

[Ikuaod2]

Four more to go? That's great to hear....that should only be what, another 6 months? :P

Just kidding, I understand it takes time to make them....let alone having busy schedules (This quarter is killing me). Keep up the good work guys.

[Broken]

So almost done, yet so not.

That is all.

[KyleJCrb]

We may not be done yet, but there are things happening. Slowly but surely. More will be revealed in time.
