Since Super Mario Galaxy was originally released on November 1st 2007, perhaps we should aim for November 1st 2017 as the release date? I've added the next deadline as March 1st 2017, hopefully everyone should have at least a basic WIP by then. If anyone has any suggestions/questions, feel free to say!

I'll make sure to actually remember to submit a track this time.

Yes you should go with the Grado Prestige Series SR80e, because I bought it a long time ago and its the most amazing headphone under $100 and I think you should go for it, but it leaks sound, because of the open back design. So, as long you are ok with that, you its the best option.

Fixed.

I LAST POSTED ON THE 13TH?! WHAT IS THIS?! Long story short- parents + bad grades = no internet for...I don't know how long. Anyway, DS, can I have a midi of the SCRAMBLE intro? No SFX, 2nd version- I want to add a bassline and some drums...thanks in advance. Nika- I actually dropped the boss roll some time ago...? Just doing solo Corneria (Clipped Wings) and the two collabs. Also, hey Mr Neil!

Alright, everyone: Announcement! I've set up a Discord page for us to meet, talk shop, and establish how we'll move forward from here. This is where we should plan on really figuring out our house rules, how we can figure out what we want to sing, talk choral composition shop, etc. It's taken me a little while due to increased duties on OCR, things moving out for the Lufia album, SMRPG release, etc., but this IS still on a pretty high priority. I'll be PM'ing you guys about it, as well as sending invites to people I know are on the list.

Hey, Thomas ! How are you doing ? We're still waiting for you to claim your track

Hey Everyone! Just dropping by to say that this is looking great, keep up the good work!

@Xenonetix @Yami , you might remember from that RPG contest. Glad to be on your side, Hope we can work together and at least defeat Team Knight. Hope there's no hard feeling about said contest (I'm pretty sure you're a good remixer).

I'll have something more substantial soon, just waiting for it to cool down a bit around here so I get less noise and feedback from my ceiling fan and a/c when recording

Progress is being made. I had my own unrealistic expectations on the pace of the mastering, but we're well on our way with that. It's one of the last things left to do. That excitement I had earlier this fall has subsided, but I have a feeling it's on its way back.

This is the longest project I've seen in my life ... i know someday will be released, I still have a little hope

It's sad to hear. It's his choice, though, and I'll respect it. I do hope the album is amazing off-site, though.

I'm going to maintain this list of resources for game audio for everyone's use. In order to prevent the thread from becoming de-railed over time, please don't respond here. Instead, if you know of a resource that I should add, please PM me and I will add it to this post. Qualifications for being listed here: -Books (including edited collections) must be dedicated to game audio specifically (generic game studies don't qualify, as there are so many that we would lose focus on our specialty). They should be written by either a scholar with a degree in some field of music or an industry professional with credits on multiple video games. -Conferences must have a reasonable percentage of papers dedicated to game audio. Just because there happens to be a game audio panel at AMS this year doesn't mean that the AMS writ large is focused on game audio, for example. On the flip side, NYU's Music and the Moving Image features a significant number of game papers every year -- certainly enough that attending would be worth your while if all you care about is games.
