If I'm being honest I'm already hating myself for trying it, but I will admit that I'm actually having a lot of fun with it lol Edit - This will simultaneously be one of the most MnP things I have ever done, but at the same time not.

That is how masterpieces are made!

Woah, those are obscure games. I only recognize Legend of Mana and IoG...I used to rent the latter quite often, never beat it as a kid though. Good ole savestates saved my ass later on. And online guides. Soulblazer is an amazing game! Threads of Fate is related to Dewprism eh? I might check em out. Not familiar with either but the cover-image rings some distant bells in my head.

I look forward to the spooky song goodness too. I better make this one count too, cause it's probably going to be my turn-in for NGs Spooktober Competition if they accept game remixes... Going to be real hard tho; I barely fiddled with Reaper since downloading it...

It's October time, and for most peeps, it's HALOWEEEN OOOOOOOOOOO. Yeah i can't do a good ghost impression on a generic font, lol. As a result i decided to plan something special, and for those who were with me, got the chance to really go all out into a world of spooky sources. Participants active from the last 5 rounds, got a chance to pick a word usually associated with Halloween, and then a VGM source that closely matches that word (Which is both a load of fun, but also a bit of a interesting challenge). As a result we ended up with 10 VGM sources! Now that they've all been picked, they are all on display right here, for you to pick and choose. No source is off limits, go for the one that inspires you the most. To those who selected the sources, and to those who have just arrived, i want you to pick any of the 10 sources, whip up your DAW, and produce me a Spooktacular remix! You are not required to follow any set source. You can go for ones you like the sound of the most. I mean 10 sources is a huge selection. All the standard MnP rules in regards to submission and remixing applies. For this round 2 of the rules have been relaxed, but only for this round, and it only applied to those who were selecting the sources. This being the 6th gen and earlier rule, and the big name franchise rule. THIS ROUND ONLY THOUGH, NEXT WEEK WILL BE REINFORCED AGAIN. I would encourage you to submit for the 31st of October to co-inside with Halloween, however i don't know if this will be physically possible for some, since it's not so far away, so the 7th of November will be the real deadline. For this round you can remix more than one source from the list, and to the source selectors, you can remix your own pick. DO LET US KNOW WHAT SOURCE(S) YOU'VE PICKED IN THE SUBMISSION NOTES OF THASAUCE, IT HELPS A LOT, THANKS. Anyways i've rambled on, let's present the sources! NOTE: All MIDI SOURCES WILL BE PRESENTED HERE, FOR EASE OF USE. Option 1: Word: Ghost Game: Ghosts 'n Goblins Source - Stage 1 Option 2: Word: Vampire Game: Suikoden 2 Source - Gothic Neclord Option 3: Word: Supernatural Game: Secret of Mana Source - Ceremony Option 4: Word: Phantom Game: Vagrant Story Source - Undercity Option 5: Word: Zombie Game: Call of Duty Black Ops Source - Dammed Option 6: Word: Skull Game: Killer Instinct Gold Source - Spinal's Theme Option 7: Word: Grimoire Game: Super Mario 64 Source - Haunted House Option 8: Word: Forest Game: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse Source - Mad Forest Option 9: Word: Macabre Game: Chrono Chross Source - Dead Sea/Tower of Destruction Option 10: Word: Werewolf Game: Darkstalkers 3 Source - Concrete Cave (Jon Tailban's Theme) Deadline: 7th November @ 1PM Closing Date: 9th November @ 1PM Vote Ends: 16th November @ 1PM MnP ARCHIVE - made by Trism submit: http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/MnP128 MISSION STATEMENT The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required. MnP Instructions/Guidelines Guidelines: Modifying the Source is fine, so long as it doesn't sound completely separate from its original intent. If you're gonna do a genre change, at least make sure the original aspect of the source is not lost. Tempo changes are fine, as long as it's not a big change. I'm talking like, going from 80bpm to 140bpm. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max), and submitted as a MP3 file. Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry. Try to avoid making quality-based comments on submissions until after the Round is concluded. It is to avoid a Bias in Votes. For this round you can remix more than one source. Do make sure you let me know which source(s) you've picked in the submission notes. MISC/TIPS - When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make people's lives easier. - In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx) CODBO - Damned.mid Darkstalkers 3 -Subway.mid Ghost n Goblins - Stage 1.mid Killer Instinct Gold - Spinal's Theme.mid Secret of Mana - Ceremony.mid Suikoden 2 - Gothic Neclord.mid Super Mario 64 - Big Boo's Haunt.mid Vagrant Story - Undercity.mid Castlevania 3 - Mad Forest.mid Chrono Cross - Dead Sea.mid

Also Revelations: The Demon Slayer, which funny enough is a prequel to the Shin Megami Tensei series...Lol.

Front Mission is a rare choice. Threads of Fate / Dewprism and Sword / Legend of Mana are quite rare as well. So is Illusion of Gaia, the red-headed true sequel step-child to SoulBlazer no one seems to talk about...

Woah, kudos to you @Katfor picking a Vagrant Story theme. That game is very under-appreciated. (edit) FF12 (ok, so that is a stretch...), Parasite Eve and Koudelka have similar playstyles and it is incredibly rare to find real-time tactical RGPs. Incidentally, it also has some of the best music on the PS1 ever. I've only remixed 'Reminiscence' so far and I was blown away by how complex it was. Looking forward to that Undercity remix Edit 2 I wonder what other games are similar to Vagrant Story, Koudelka and Parasite Eve...Anyone know?

I have a terrible idea, and I'm probably going to hate myself for even trying it, but it must be done...

happy spoopy season everyone! can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Let's get spooky! Dang, everyone picked fantastic sources.

I love working on Halloween music, looking forward to this turn out. If only I had time to cover all of these.

I really need to find a reason to get outside more. That and sleep more...
