So, I didn't start anything on my arrangement, and honestly I'm not that motivated by the source and idea at all. However, some time ago I had a weird dream that was pretty inspiring for a totally different source and style that also happens to be VERY fitting with the usual christmas vibe. It's the generic city theme from Illusion of Gaia, usually known as "Live City" and mostly linked to South Cape, the main protagonists' hometown. In genre terms the idea is to be some classic 70s rock in the style of Deep Purple, with heavy use of hammond organs and simple guitar riffs, but also some bells and more stuff. Including an ambiance intro with church bells, street noises and kids playing around (planning to record most of that myself during one of my walks out). A lot simpler and softer than my usual stuff, but still a vibe I'd love to try. Basically pretending to give that kind of nostalgic vibe commonly associated with our childhood playing with fellow kids and family members in the city during christmas times, this time without any grumpy stuff :)

So, if I understood it right, this is a parody VGM album without any specific theme, right? Or should it all be about fishes? Either way, I'm strongly considering to use the parody aspect to try something with birbs again (for those unfamiliar, a silly vocal style emulating the sound of a chocobo humming melodies and screams and stuff). It's a long time since I did that, and I avoid doing because the prejudgements. But I see that fitting pretty well with what I understand about the concept of this album. So maybe... 👀

I'm probably semi useless outside of the Mega Man sources, but please count me in for team Mega Man

Hey, my new album, Spiritual Renaissance, is now released! This project is an exhilarating sci-fi adventure featuring dark, deep and epic cinematic drum and bass in 165 BPM! It fuses atmospheric and trance-inspired sounds with orchestral Elements. Enjoy :) Bandcamp: https://mellowsonic.bandcamp.com/album/spiritual-renaissance

Please enter me as a Mega man I have a rep to keep. But I can fill in if the successors need it

Really like how the fusion rock is injected into these themes while keeping the watery ambiance going strong to make it both beautiful and groovable. And admittedly I'm a sucker for Lockjaw's Locker, so those nods were very welcomed to hear. Love this mix.

Always loved this song on the album. The reggae flair fits the Overworld theme nicely and comes off very relaxing, but still upbeat. I dig it.

I can actually relate to this, since I was hospitalized myself for about a week. Back then I had nothing to do either, so I spent my time reading comics and webtoons. I know this thread is old and hopefully your friend is already doing much better, but I’ll still share this for anyone else who might read later. Honestly, during times like that, life-based or reality-focused webtoons really help you feel emotionally lighter and more connected. For anyone looking, I recommend 뉴토끼 it’s a Korean site but it also has some English content, and you can find tons of free webtoons and manhwa there. It really helped me through that time.

I know it's the 3rd and not the 13th on this Friday, but spooky season is upon us, so I wanted to remind folks of this scary/creepy/kooky/mysterious/spooky 8Track 🎃

Love how Gaspode mixes, makes me feel more better

Take your time, dude (I personally wouldn't redo the whole soundtrack because it already sounds like a really good approach - rather fix the bigger "problems" and then extend 'n' expand the core version with some unique composition elements and passages). But no matter what you do, I'm lookin' forward to the results someday. ))

K. Np. :)

I'm game for either team!

Man, this ska twist on Dr. Wily’s Castle is such a mood totally flips the track into something bright and fun while still keeping that Mega Man intensity. I’d be down to hear more ska-style remixes on OCR for sure!

Nah, there’s a lot of the old arrangement that’ll need to get redone. Big chunks of it are placeholder stuff (especially the piano at the end borrowing heavily from a vgmusic.com piano arrangement of Lost Painting). And the SotN cameos you wanted to add are outside the scope, cool as they would be to add. If anything, it needs more Metroid, not more Castlevania. It’s not top of mind for me right now, though; I’ll probably get back to it after the new year.

Either team is fine. If I change my mind, I'll post it here.

Hiii I'm back after having a temporary break due to mental health... I should get started with it ngl... I'm actually trying to do this all by ear and I have a feeling it's not A4=440hz lol

Pretty cover! It starts very similar to the original and slowly deviates from it, although it's always fairly conservative. Well done! Just curious, what VST did you use for the flute?

Very cinematic cover, love the sound design and mood. Well done!

Was literally swaying in my chair to the rhythm while listening. Big and epic, yet tender and emotional. Gorgeous work here!
