WIP DEADLINE- MAY 1ST - The Game Boy 25th Anniversary ReMix Album Project

[WillRock]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/The_Damned/gameboyheader.pngThe Game Boy 25th Anniversary Remix Album

The Idea:
April 21st, 2014 is the 25th anniversary of the classic portable gaming system, the Game Boy. But, for a portable that had over 600 games, was the launching point of multiple series that are still around today, and was one of the most successful gaming systems in history, it is woefully under-remixed. That needs to change, and what better reason to do it than a big celebratory remix album?

The Plan:
There are over 600 games to choose from in the Game Boy library, and that's just the 8-bit games. Each of those games has anywhere from a half dozen to a hundred songs used in them. That's tens of thousands of songs to choose from.

But that is far too many to choose from. WillRock and I decided that we have to set some restrictions in order to make this album feasible.

Rule 1: Only Game Boy and Game Boy Color games can be chosen. This removes all of the Game Boy Advance titles and cuts the list from over 1500 games to just about 600. Even then, that's still a lot to choose from.

Rule 2: Only one remix per game or series. This prevents lots of remixes from more popular series taking up most of the album. This also lets more obscure music from more obscure games get some attention. There is more to life than Mario and Zelda music.

Rule 3: Spin-off games are allowed. This exception allows titles that are based upon, but are still different enough from their parent game/series to warrant being counted separate. For example, Wario Land and Mario Land; Wario Land came from the Mario Land games, but stands as its own series. In the event that a remix of a spin-off game or series uses music originally from its parent series, it will be considered for acceptance, depending upon how much or how close it is to the original.

With those three rules, it may seem like a lot of choice has been removed, but really, it hasn't. Just look at the tracklist so far. It's a wide variety of games and it's not even the full list yet.

The Staff:
Project Directors: The Damned and WillRock. Shared duties and authority, this ensures that there should always been someone in charge to deal with any problems that arise. It also helps that WillRock's musical talent covers my complete lack thereof...

Remixers:
WillRock
Protodome
TheGuitahHeroe
Brandon Strader
Moomba
Rexy
Dusk
Drakken
Level 99
Halc

The Time Table:

April 2014 isn't that far away, really. Factor in a few months before that date to allow for distribution and website setup and all that, and we're actually talking more like January 2014. Factor in that all of the art, music and website stuff has to be ready before then, and we're suddenly looking at late 2013. That's almost two years, but it's still a lot of work for that amount of time.

That's why we're going to be adhering to strict time limits and deadlines. There will be some flexibility to allow for special circumstances, but mainly, we have to follow the deadlines. If we start going over them, we'll start to run into the time needed for setup and distribution. If that gets used up, we have less time to meet the release date of April 21st, 2014.

Want to Help Out?
With the large number of member that OCR has, there is a serious talent pool available. Anyone that wants to join needs to be either a skilled remixer, artist or web designer. Submissions aren't mandatory, but would help a lot.

Remixers. We need them. Without remixers, who would remix? Not enough remixers means not enough music for the album.

Artists. We're going to need album artwork, website art, CD cover, the whole thing. This may require more than one artist, depending upon how much we need.

Website designer. This will be the last big part of the project. We'll need someone that can design the site, make it and have it ready for OCR staff to put up for the albums release.

Et cetera
That's about it. We're aiming for a two year turnaround on this. It won't be easy, but it is doable. Other remix albums have come around in less time without suffering any quality issues. We can totally do this.

So, good luck, work hard, and remember to have fun with your work! Don't get too stressed! Get plenty of sleep and eat your vegetables!

[Brandon Strader]

I like this fancy new thread, it is clean and unsoiled.

Or at least it was (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsDHPfQuMVk)

[halc]

ahh i can't believe people are still uppercasing the first letter of my name

just sayin

also this project is going to be fucking awesome

[DusK]

Ideas are a-brewin'. Gonna have some fun with this one.

[Melbu Frahma]

Exciting - there's already some great games on that list, and dozens more in the Game Boy library! Best of luck, guys.

[WillRock]

ahh i can't believe people are still uppercasing the first letter of my name

Your name requires breaking writing laws if its the first word of a sentence. IT MUST BE CAPITALISED.

Also Damned... remember that Deadline we set? The december one? PUT IT IN THE TITLE OF THE THREAD LIKE RIGHT NAOW.

[Rexy]

This is gonna own! I'll be sure to get to work on a wip over the coming weeks :)

[Chernabogue]

Exciting! Good luck! :)

[DaMonz]

This is really awesome, I'd love to participate! :)
PM sent!

[The Damned]

SHUT UP, IT WAS ALWAYS THERE AND TOTALLY NOT ADDED IN SHORTLY AFTER YOU SAID SO, so there.

[WillRock]

SHUT UP, IT WAS ALWAYS THERE AND TOTALLY NOT ADDED IN SHORTLY AFTER YOU SAID SO, so there.

Don't forget to give in your WIP before the due date damned.

And the same goes for everyone else! :P

[Brandon Strader]

Wow, the first WIP date is December 1st? That's freakishly soon.

I am going to break sooooooo many WIP dates on this project. I'd estimate somewhere around 30 WIP dates.

[The Damned]

It was supposed to be mentioned sooner, but WillRock didn't mention it until now, so I have to cover his butt.

[WillRock]

RAWR
rawrrrr

[Brandon Strader]

Well it's good to know who is wearing the damned pants in that relationship!

[Meteo Xavier]

DAMN this project got kicked up super quick. I really wish my schedule would've allowed this, I would've loved to take part. :(

[Mirby]

Move along nothing to see here

[Sir_NutS]

Looks like I'll be bringing the boomtiss.

[StigtriX]

SUGGESTIONS FOR GAMES WORTHY OF MUSIC REMIXES:
- Tetris - a must
- Super Mario Land
- Super Mario Land 2
- Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
- The Castlevania Adventure
- Dr. Mario
- Battletoads
- Operation C (Contra)
- Final Fantasy Adventure (aka. Mystic Quest)
- The Smurfs

[Bahamut]

Final Fantasy Adventure is NOT Mystic Quest. It is Seiken Densetsu.

[StigtriX]

I beg to differ, because it's the silly European title. They always seem to think that we Europeans need something different xD
And yes, I do know there's another game with the very same name.

Here's the boxart if you doubt me:
http://www.juegomania.org/Mystic+Quest/foto/gameboy/0/528/medio_624gameboy_528_c.jpg/Foto+Mystic+Quest.jpg

And here's a link to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Adventure

[Mirby]

That said, BOTH Mystic Quests could always use more love.

But only one can be mixed here.

[Bahamut]

Haha wow, Square really messed up with naming schemes. Regardless, FF Adventure has some awesome music.

[Chernabogue]

Someone is already doing DKL but please, someone, make at least one arrangement of the Donkey Kong game (the ancestor of the Mario VS DK games). This game has a so great soundtrack, it'd be a shame not to have it featured here. :)

[Rexy]

Donkey Kong GB was awesome; tried playing the ending theme on the piano when I was a teenager; good times :)

Ultimately it comes to the stance between franchises. Though, given the different main game mechanics and even main characters (DKL - DK & Diddy / DK GB - Mario) it might warrant a little difference yet.

[Drakken]

Yikes, didn't know the first deadline would be so soon.

I'd like to change my game from Skate or Die to Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. I love the Bad 'N Rad soundtrack, but I listened through it a couple times this week and couldn't get any ideas flowing. For Wario Land, on the other hand, I already have a couple ideas.

I'd still like to do a Bad 'N Rad remix eventually, but for the sake of this project, Wario Land is a safer bet.

[The Damned]

OK, got WIPs from Dusk, Moomba and Drakken tonight.

Also, for any WIPs, be sure to sent them not just to me, but also WillRock. Co-directors and all that.

[Rexy]

Sent my first WIP out to both of you guys. I'm 4 days late though, but hopefully due to Saturday's panel it can be excused >_>

[Drakken]

Just posting to say my game in the first post should be updated to Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 instead of Skate or Die (as per my earlier post). Wouldn't want someone else to look at the list and then start a Wario Land remix when there's already one being worked on.

[Dj Mokram]

@The Damned: Just letting you know that I've sent my track to Will a few days ago.
Though with the UK panel taking precedence over the weekend, I've yet to hear back from him.

Ah man, was just about to claim Super Wario Land :( I'll go look for another game

[Sir_NutS]

Just so you guys know I'll have a wip ready for this weekend. I've been away the past weeks but I'm free for music making this christmas time.

[The Damned]

Cool.

What game/series were you doing, again?

[Sir_NutS]

Cool.

What game/series were you doing, again?

I am tackling castlevania adventure. I sent a pm to willrock a few weeks ago about it, thought he had updated the post.

[urdailywater]

So I'm just curious, the song TGH sent you for is definitely on the project, right? The one me and him did for Smurfs Nightmare?

I haven't seen it on the list for a while, so I was kind of curious on it's status on the project.

[The Damned]

Oh, it's on, I just forgot to update it.

I was busy. With stuff.

AND things.

[urdailywater]

I figured so :p I just saw the sirnuts update and thought for a second , "wait is it even on?" Thanks.

[Magellanic]

I PM'd Will about claiming the Mega Man series. Haven't heard back, but with regard to auditions do you want a WIP of the claim or will another completed track of mine suffice for a claim?

[The Damned]

I PM'd Will about claiming the Mega Man series. Haven't heard back, but with regard to auditions do you want a WIP of the claim or will another completed track of mine suffice for a claim?
Hmm... how about both?

I figure a WIP shows us what you want to do with it, while a completed track shows us what you can do with the final thing.

I suspect WillRock is on holidays or something. Or dead. Yeah, probably dead. If he posts here, just hit him with with a shovel until he stops moving again.

It's the only way to be sure.

WillRock is around - he always is on IRC.

[Magellanic]

Cheers for the reply :) I'll do a WIP then and throw over a couple of completed tracks. I'll whack Will with a shovel if I don't hear from him.

[Gust Man]

Is anyone planning on doing something from Kid Icarus Myth and Monsters or whatever the GB game was called? I was just trying to get an idea of the games that were being represented.

[The Damned]

No, Kid Icarus hasn't been claimed by anyone so far.

Interested?

[Malcos]

This is a great idea! I was thinking of doing solar striker, stage 4.

[Gust Man]

I've got a few album cover ideas processed one front concept is pretty much done I'll e-mail them when I get completely done. I have a website I need to work on so it might take some time to get them ALL done. What's better PDFs or JPEGS?

[The Damned]

JPGs for just submitting, but I guess any final images would need to be a higher quality format.

Icky JPGs.

[redshojin]

Is it one track per person? Or could I audition to do two games? :P

[The Damned]

Per person.

As much as we liked having one person do half an album, it's kind of unfair to bump other remixers out of the limelight.

HOWEVER! This does not apply to collaborations. That's cool.

[WillRock]

This is a great idea! I was thinking of doing solar striker, stage 4.

For the record, if you want it, its yours, just say the word.

[PixelPanic]

I haven't seen anything about Kirby's Dreamland, anyone taken that? I was thinkin about a rave-esque Whispy Woods remix.

EDIT: On second thought, a better question should be "can I still submit for this?" I saw on the google doc thingy that only 14 songs were in, and I wasn't sure, the WIP date says December 1.

[DaMonz]

I just noticed that my Crystalis claim still isn't on the list. Did you guys just forget, or is my WIP not significant enough for a claim yet?

Just making sure ^_^

[Malcos]

For the record, if you want it, its yours, just say the word.

Yes please, I'd definitely like to take that song. Are there any style/genre requirements?

[The Damned]

The WIP date was for remixers already on-board. I'll update the first page a bit.

As for Kirby, it's not taken yet.

Rave-esqe? Wispy woods? Oooh, that could be interesting.

I just noticed that my Crystalis claim still isn't on the list. Did you guys just forget, or is my WIP not significant enough for a claim yet?

Just making sure ^_^
Sorry, haven't updated things lately. WillRock's fault.

And Proto-Dome's. Somehow.

Yes please, I'd definitely like to take that song. Are there any style/genre requirements?

Nope. None at all.

[PixelPanic]

Thinkin instead for a Green Greens/Whispy Woods mix since Whispy Woods is outright short

[WillRock]

I just noticed that my Crystalis claim still isn't on the list. Did you guys just forget, or is my WIP not significant enough for a claim yet?

Just making sure ^_^

Sorry DaMonz, I'm adding you to the list now.

Yes please, I'd definitely like to take that song. Are there any style/genre requirements?

No there aren't, you're pretty much free to do whatever you like :D



Sorry, haven't updated things lately. WillRock's fault.

Is it fuck :P

9 OPEN TRACKS PEOPLE. CLAIM THEM RIGHT NAOW!!!

[The Damned]

Holy shit, really? 9 spots left?

Damn, that went quickly.

[Matt E. Waldman]

I think I'm interested in this project! So, as long as there are tracks available and I choose an unclaimed game/series, I can submit an audition track? Once I get off work I can get some ideas.

[pokemoneinstein]

I'd love to try my hand at designing the album art, if you guys are willing to let me.

[Drakken]

Just a reminder (again :p) to change my claimed game from Skate or Die: Bad 'N Rad to Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. Wouldn't want someone else to start on a Wario Land remix only to find out it's already taken.

[Sir_NutS]

Been working on my mix, this might end up being a collab with an old pal :P.

[PixelPanic]

I'm afraid to say I'm resigning from this project, as I am a newbie and I'd much rather get some experience rather than just run head-strong into this commitment. It's a personal decision, I'm sure I COULD do it, but I'd rather not so early in my, err, "career".

In suffice, Kirby is not taken anymore, guys

[pu_freak]

Then I'll take Kirby

[WillRock]

I think I'm interested in this project! So, as long as there are tracks available and I choose an unclaimed game/series, I can submit an audition track? Once I get off work I can get some ideas.

By all means Submit an audition, altho if your music is OCR Standard that probably isn't necessary.

EDIT: Sorry for long response PU, you got Kirby.
Drakken, I've changed your claim to Wario Land. Its up to Damned to update the first post tho ;)

[AJ-enova]

I'd love to help out with any Artwork that needs doing :)
Won't be my first time lol

You can check out my work at:
www.polareclipse.co.nr (http://www.polareclipse.co.nr)

[The Damned]

OK, updated the first page.

Sorry I've been so in-communicato-ish, but 14-hour days do that to you. A month of 14-hour days makes it worse.

The next month also being 14-hour days doesn't help any. But at least the bank account will be happy, right?

Right?

[milothefultz]

If it isn't too late to throw my hat in the ring, I'd love to play bass on whatever tracks you guys need, electric/upright.

[The Damned]

Cool. Bass is never wrong.

Unlike that Mega Man jerk...

[NeoS]

It's been a while since I've posted on OCR, but I just can't imagine this project doesn't have Tetris. I hope I'm wrong though. Otherwise I'd be obliged to do something about that and fire up my DAW. :-P

[Cecilff2]

Might I suggest Metroid II (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBR7c-uYVhg)?

[NeoS]

I did a short demo. If any of likes this, I'll continue to work on it.

http://snd.sc/H0tMtG

[Nintendude794]

I messaged The Damned about claiming Tetris. For everybody, though, here's a WIP/demo/sketch: http://soundcloud.com/nintendude794/tetris-fur-elise

I don't understand why this rough sketch seems to be one of my more popular SoundCloud tracks... :-? :< :-D

Thoughts, constructive criticism? It's only a quick draft, and if I'm allowed if not encouraged to take Tetris, my next WIP will be much better.

You shouldn't post WIPs on the forums. That stuff should be private :P

This is pretty cool, altho use of fur elise kinda makes me a little unsure overall, depends on damned tho. As far as performance/production goes, this is def cool, I love the take :D.

[WillRock]

I did a short demo. If any of likes this, I'll continue to work on it.

http://snd.sc/H0tMtG

that needs a bit more personalisation before we'd consider it for the project. Thanks for showing an interest tho!

BTW GUYS SEND WIPS BY PM. NOT BY FORUMS :P

[AMT]

Summer is about to start and making music sounds fun- can I tentatively grab Metroid 2?

[WillRock]

Summer is about to start and making music sounds fun- can I tentatively grab Metroid 2?

Yep you're good to go. I've updated the Gdoc.

6 more tracks to claim dudes!

[The Damned]

Yeah, I was terribly busy and then I was lazy. But I guess now that WillRock has posted again, I have to do something.

[Chernabogue]

I'd be sad not to try to make something for this project. Is everybody allowed to ask for a track?

[WillRock]

I'd be sad not to try to make something for this project. Is everybody allowed to ask for a track?

We do ask for auditions from people who don't have an OCR artist profile... so yeah send an audition of a track you've done in the past and we'll see if you're appropriate for the project :)

[Chernabogue]

Alright, thanks for the answer, Will! :)

[Nintendude794]

Yeah, I was terribly busy and then I was lazy. But I guess now that WillRock has posted again, I have to do something.

iSent The Damned a PM almost two months ago. You'd think he could at least tell me "No thanks" rather than hold me in suspense about claiming Tetris, assuming it was/is a "Nope, sorry." :whatevaa:

I messaged The Damned about claiming Tetris. For everybody, though, here's a WIP/demo/sketch: http://soundcloud.com/nintendude794/tetris-fur-elise

Thoughts, constructive criticism? It's only a quick draft, and if I'm allowed if not encouraged to take Tetris, my next WIP will be much better.

^And then I tried to post it in the forum itself, following a fellow nooooob's lead. We both were criticized err berated by WillRock for it.

You shouldn't post WIPs on the forums. That stuff should be private :P

This is pretty cool, altho use of fur elise kinda makes me a little unsure overall, depends on damned tho. As far as performance/production goes, this is def cool, I love the take :D.

Although WillRock seemed to like my sketch! ;-)

Yep you're good to go. I've updated the Gdoc.

6 more tracks to claim dudes!

So, since apparently WillRock is running the sources [also/better], Howdy again! And since I'm finally posted (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02427/)--even though my past PM included the same track as my audition, while it was still in To Be Posted queue--I just now forwarded that same message to both o' y'all. :smile:

We do ask for auditions from people who don't have an OCR artist profile... so yeah send an audition of a track you've done in the past and we'll see if you're appropriate for the project :)

If it's no longer impressive--which is how I feel, seeing as how I recorded it 18 months ago and as such have likely gotten so much better--I also put this rough, specific idea for Tetris on my SoundCloud: http://soundcloud.com/nintendude794/tetris-fur-elise
^Look at how many people have listened to and downloaded what I thought a terrible sketch! 8-) And that's my most downloaded track on SoundCloud... :roll:

Sorry to message in both places, y'all. I don't care what the answer is, I jus' need one and've been waitin' on one, so I can stop worryin' about claiming it and/or get to work on a quite legit piano take of Tetris. Thanks. :)!!

[The Damned]

Yeah, sorry, life stuff and all that. But that's over now (the stuff, not the life), so yeah, back to work.

If you had looked on the google doc link in th first page, you would see that you're already on the list for Tetris. WillRock has control over that document, so I guess he updated it sometime since then.

So... GET ON IT. :wink:

[Dj Mokram]

I'll be dropping my 'Metal Gear Ghost Babel' medley.
Best of luck to Gerry and Will with this tribute album.

[Dudebob]

I'd like to take the mastering spot if possible.
Here's a demo of what I can do.
http://www.mediafire.com/?h32o1z0x7poxukq
If you want specific info on what I like to do in my mastering process etc. just ask.
If you want me to do the mastering and want the track to sound different etc. than my demo, I'm open to all options and would gladly work with you. :)
Thanks!
-Dudebob

[timaeus222]

I'd like to join this project eventually. I have a 2:27 WIP so far on a Yu-Gi-Oh Dark Duel Stories two-source combo remix. :D

[AJ-enova]

I'm still up for doing Artwork for this if needed :)

[timaeus222]

The Damned, I sent a message to you, in case you somehow didn't get a popup notification. :P

[Nase]

Hm, can I make a mix in lsdj?

Also L99, which track from tmnt2 are you doing!!
Omg that OST is so kickazzsz!
Skateboard stage!!!

[timaeus222]

The Damned, can you check your messages? I sent you the almost-final version of my track last Wednesday. :|

[The Damned]

I did get them, it's christmas. Everyone is a bit busy.

[timaeus222]

Oh, okay. Sorry, I just didn't get any reply, so I thought you didn't notice.

[MC Final Sigma]

Um, is it way too late to express interest in this? Just saw the thread today and I'm new, but this looks awesome! I am a rapper and can do nothing but rap, remix-wise, but if anyone needs a rapper... I am one!

I'm down to rap on anything really, if you think rap would be a good direction to explore. My personal preferences, of course, align with franchises I'm more familiar with: Wario, Kirby, Mega Man, Donkey Kong, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and especially Zelda. I don't know how much work GuitahHeroe has done on it (I see no WIP is recorded, so I'm semi-hopeful), but I've got a Link's Awakening concept if you're interested. Will PM you! (I'm also familiar with Lemmings and Harvest Moon, though I'd have to think about concepts for those).

Also, a bit of searching has revealed to me that the NES game M.C. Kids has a GameBoy version called McDonaldland released in Europe. I've got lyrics and everything for an M.C. Kids rap song, so by all means, hit me up if that interests you. M.C. Kids has a kickass OST, too, for being a game that advertises obesity, and it would add more obscurity/diversity to the track listing.

Here are some samples of my work (excuse the shitty audio quality, I will be coming into better equipment shortly). They're all in pretty different styles and voices to give you an idea of my range:

[Ghost Signal]

I'd love to snag the Super Mario Land theme if it hasn't been taken somewhere in here already. Frankly I was shocked when I saw it available in the Google Doc (which I'm assuming is current). I know I've not got a remix published right now. I'm working on that. I'm rather new to this site. If you'd like, I'd be more than happy to whip up a rough WIP before being locked in for the track.

You can find the source here (http://www.gamethemesongs.com/Super_Mario_Land.html).

Also, I have some experience in web design if my skills as a remixer prove subpar. In fact, I'd be glad to do both.

[Argle]

What's the status of this project? I don't see timaeus' track listed in the OP. You still looking for tracks? I'd be interesting in doing Metroid 2. That is a series that requires representation.

[Argle]

Nevermind I guess, read the doc and Metroid is on it. Shame Zelda has been taken, I have a Mabe village mix in production that's almost done.

[KingTiger]

I was actually hoping to do this theme as well, has it been taken then?

[Argle]

I don't think they're updating the documentation very often. Ghost Signal requested SML a couple weeks ago, but it's still in the doc as an available source. I'd like to tackle it as well, but that puts me third in line now, so my efforts will be better spent elsewhere. :lol:

[PixelPanic]

Would I be able to do Pokemon TCG or does Pokemon Pinball fulfill the not-main-series Pokemon quota?

[WillRock]

Sorry about not getting back to people. I'll get right on it :)

[Chernabogue]

I might want to help the tracklist reach 25 tracks by working on a Donkey Kong (Mario vs. DK) mix. Any precise deadline?

[G-Mixer]

I'd love to do a remix, if possible. :)

[WillRock]

Ghost Signal, KingTiger, Pixelpanic, Chernabogue, G-mixer, send me examples of your work by PM and what track/source you'd like to remix and i'll get back to you all :)

[G-Mixer]

Done. :-P

[Chernabogue]

Done. :-P
Same here.

I was cleaning through my files on my HDs and I forgot I had made this for the heck of it about a year or so ago. I usually like illustrating stuff but wanted to experiment. Might as well put this up here and see if people like it. Otherwise I'll just toss this I guess.

That's actually rather good.

[The Damned]

That is far better than the cupcake with a candle in it that I made.

FAR BETTER.

[Gust Man]

Oh...oh wow... I didn't think it would be well received actually. It was the first kind of design like this I did. I was inspired by a couple of CDs I saw when I was out looking in a used CD store and I took some notes on designs. If you guys want feel free to use it for the forum project post! :)

Yeah I dig it, its awesome :D

[Brandon Strader]

I like it a lot, my only real complaint is that it isn't 4000x4000 pixels (or at least 1500x1500)

[WillRock]

Guys, we still need mario claiming. We need MARIO claiming.

MARIOOOOOOOOOOO

[Dj Mokram]

Just noticed this was still up in the OP:
7. Metal Gear - Ghost Babel - DJ Mokram - (WIP!)
You guys might have missed my post, back in 2012:
I'll be dropping my 'Metal Gear Ghost Babel' medley.
Best of luck to Gerry and Will with this tribute album.
Just so there's no confusion later on. ;)

[Gust Man]

I have that size (in between 4000x4000 and 1500x1500). There was no point putting that size on my photobucket account though.

[Argle]

Somebody get on Super Mario Land. DO IT.

[G-Mixer]

Somebody get on Super Mario Land. DO IT.

I'm on it, dude. I'm doing the theme. Though I haven't even started. xD

[Chernabogue]

No news on our auditions?

[popfizz]

ooh, guess it's too late to suggest F1 Race as a game...

cool artwork. guess i also just popped in here to say, there's a song so wacky it almost deserves to be remixed, and it seems the only place fitting for it would be as a bonus song in a gameboy project...

the secret super gameboy credits theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkGJMi5xgvo)

no idea how that would sound...

[PixelPanic]

No news on our auditions?

Feelin that, too, I can understand if you guys are busy, but a quick note telling us they're currently under evaluation, or not sufficient, would be nice.

[Brandon Strader]

They're just super super super super super super super slow under the guise of being 'busy'.

One of my friends was interested in getting on the album..... a year ago.... and The_Damned didn't follow that through adequately so who knows if that's even going to happen. I haven't even seen him around here too much, who knows. Alls I can say is, as someone who already has a claim on this thing, I am going to be cautious before making the song just to make sure it's even going to go anywhere.

[WillRock]

Sorry about not getting back to you guys, my bad, I have not forgotten however! I will get back to you soonish :)

[WillRock]

Ok, we've got our 25 mixers!

So, GET THOSE TRACKS IN!!!

Deadline incoming, but roughly, we need wavs by the end of the year, so get on it peeps! ^-^

(if there is anyone who still wants to contribute, please contact The Damned until further notice from me, We'll see if we can fit in bonus tracks or something maybe)

[Brandon Strader]

Nice double post, rule-breaker!

That shameless noob DjMokgram dropped his claim so you may only have 24, not 25. You should make sure the last claim is REAALLY special though.

[WillRock]

Just noticed this was still up in the OP:

I missed the message, my bad. I take it you'd still rather drop this then bro? You can have the claim back if you want it.

[Chernabogue]

Started working on my track, and the intro sounds very cool. Like in an action movie with Liam Neeson.

[Sir_NutS]

Wilrock, my apologies, I had forgotten about this. I will get to work on my track, don't boot me yet!

[WillRock]

Wilrock, my apologies, I had forgotten about this. I will get to work on my track, don't boot me yet!

I'll be setting a deadline soon, until then, no need to worry about anything!

[Chernabogue]

Just wondering in order to organize my mixing schedule: what is the next deadline for the project?

[Brandon Strader]

Damned said I'm good until 2014 back when I signed on

[WillRock]

Just wondering in order to organize my mixing schedule: what is the next deadline for the project?

Just posted a may 1st deadline.

Not too strict, its just to monitor progress. Final Deadline is probably going to be new year to give staff time to evaluate the album before release.

[Argle]

I'm afraid I won't have anything ready by may 1st. I have 3-4 project tracks I have to do before this one. That being said, project tracks are the only thing I'm gonna work on till they're all done, so June is feasible.

I hope I didn't sound like a jerk with my post about 2014, but The_Damned DID say I could do it in 2014... if I get a chance to make the song this year then I'll probably do it, but if I don't, I got that under-the-table deal! I'm innocent!

np - If people let me know whats going on with them i'll be happy to keep them on. I'm not going to mercilessly cut people who talk to me, but those who don't let us know will be cut because anyone who doesn't do tracks will need to be replaced if we want to hit the 25 track limit.

Sorry Brandon, I spoke to staff about when was best to have the album finished. Afraid 2014 will probably be too late if we want to see this released in time :(

[DusK]

I won't be able to make that May 1st deadline either; I have a track for the TMNT project that has to be finished by the 29th, and I need to make sure I have the entire Gunstar Heroes album wrapped up by May 1st, so I'll be pretty busy.

My track's basically being recorded from scratch. What I gave you guys last time was just to show what direction I wanted to go with it, but I held off tracking the whole thing because I (rightfully) knew that if I did the bulk of the track much later, it would have significantly better production values.

This track will be my focus around mid-May. If you guys are willing to wait, I can give you guys a pretty near-complete track then.

[Rexy]

Why is it that May 1st or around that time is a popular time for a checkup?

Honestly, for me around that time, I've got a TMNT project deadline, first wips in for FF3, the Castlevania one Chernabogue's working on, Mirby's "gimme a finished track for my Cid project or I'm kicking you off" type deal... that sort of thing.

I still want to keep going with this. Just don't expect me to have something by May 1st, because too many other people want me to have stuff in for that time >_<

[Brandon Strader]

Yeah setting May 1st for this was a bit shortsighted in regards to the rest of the community (same could be said about some of those other projects Rexy mentioned :-P)

That'll probably be the one downfall of this project, is that y'all decided to start up and set consistent dates with other projects, and try to finish by the end of the year... I honestly just don't see that happening, but if that's what you gotta stick with, I hope it works out.

[WillRock]

Not too strict, its just to monitor progress - If people let me know whats going on with them i'll be happy to keep them on.

Just quoting this for emphasis since some people seem to be confused about the nature of the deadline. If you don't have a WIP and can't deliever one DON'T PANIC - just let me know and i'll mark you down as having got back to me. I'm not going to cut anyone unless I have to, so don't worry about it. I just need to see who is still interested in the project and any progress they have made.

[Argle]

Kick Rexy off the project, then I can have Donkey Kong Land. :-)






just kidding







sort of. :twisted:

She'd love that... not.

Besides, you've got warlock, you're covered! Go and do your own claim boy! :P

[Argle]

What is this Warlock game you speak of? I only know of Warlocked (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlocked). :-P

[Chernabogue]

WIP sent. Check your PM, Will. :)

EDIT: I forgot to add in my PM that this WiP is not finished, I plan to add new parts at the end of tha arrangment and change various things.

[G-Mixer]

Sorry guys.

Still haven't even begun mine. -_-

I will probably begin to have some more time to spend doing this by the middle of May or something.

[WillRock]

Today is deadline day!
Anyone who hasn't got back to me on this DO IT NAOW!!!

Again, just let me know your progress, WIP or no and if you want to keep your claims you can, just let me know.

[G-Mixer]

Way behind right now, so sorry. :/

[WillRock]

I have sent out PMs to all those who I need to hear back from with deadlines. If I heard back from you, you won't have got a PM, so no worries there.

[Brandon Strader]

Billy just wanted to stuff up my inbox even though he totally could have easily asked me on aim or skype or anywhere even msn. :-P

If the AdminiStraders could increase my storage to like 600 messages or something that'd be awesome. People totally send me 600 emails. (´･ω･`)

I haven't even sent you PM. Shut ur trap :P

[Brandon Strader]

I haven't even sent you PM. Shut ur trap :P
I did!!!!! I did!!!!!! Don't you DARE call me a liar, I NEVER lie and I am a good, upstanding person who isn't British. Unless you sent a SECOND PM after this one, I got it!

Some people seem to have panicked with this deadline, and honestly, that was kind of my intention, but there has been a bit of confusion about the nature of this deadline.

If you can't get a WIP done in time, do not panic,just reply to this PM saying you're still interested in your claim and we'll go from there, Since some of you claimed tracks over a year ago and haven't been in touch since, i'm just using this as a reminder that the project is still alive and that in fact, things need to speed up to hit the final deadline now. The final deadline is going to be at the new year, and its time to get this project rolling. Any new WIPs or updates you've got, send them to me. Some of you have been in touch recently, even if I haven't responded yet, don't worry, i'll get back to you shortly and you can ignore this. Do let me know if you can't make the deadline however, or i'll be forced to cut people, since the 25 track limit is rather strict with Damned's vision.

Let me know!

WillRock

Yeah I sent that one out to everyone. I was referring to a PM that I'd just sent out - one that I didn't send you because you got back to me like... 3 weeks ago... lol

[Brandon Strader]

Eh I don't remember :-D

Why you sending out so many PMs? Didn't this one cover it? Man I've been too restrained with my pming I guess. I mean... for FF3 at least. Maybe that's why our May 1st deadline didn't go so well, or maybe it's because YOU CAM OUT OF NOWHERE with the SAME deadline AFTER FF3 and started pming everyone once a week. Maybe people do the most annoying job to get it to be quiet. :-P

[Sir_NutS]

I sent a WIP your way, Willrock.

[Chernabogue]

My mix is in the polishing section. Should be finished soon after my exams.

[G-Mixer]

Ok, so I've gotta get this remix done for the Wind Waker project, and my deadline is the end of this month or the very beginning of next month. After that, I will have more space to work on this. :)

[Malcos]

Just sent in another WIP, hopefully I should be finished by August.

[WillRock]

I got it, been a little busy so i've not responded yet, but I will :)

Turned a finished WiP in. :)

String together two soup cans, tie them onto a USB cord, and you're good to go, man.

That's how headphones work, right?
