Yep, it's already subbed. And actually, I had to repeatedly resist the urge to add anything percussive... I wanted just atmosphere, washed out melody, and light pulsing of the repeated motif. I want to test the limits of the judges patience. Oh and the voice is from Forest Kingdom, which got a lot of use for obvious reasons.

In the Green Gloom You won't find a more boring rendition of this . Six minutes of your life you can never get back.

aw geez, I kind of started a dragon roost mix. Good thing I didn't get very far in it.

That's a pretty shitty thing to ask someone, TBH. If you did any research you would know that EastWest uses iLok, which is generally piracy-safe. Also that they constantly have sales, so it's easy to get a good deal on their stuff.

I don't agree that the judges are biased against ambient stuff. Patrick Burns track from Balance and Ruin, which was posted, is a perfect example of an ambient and mellow track with great execution.

For my own part I have come to the point where I'm not interested in writing original music anymore. I haven't written a track in years. So OCR gives me an outlet to keep making music rather than quitting, which I was considering last year. I don't mind abiding by their standards because it's still lots of fun to rearrange video game themes I grew up with. Of the tracks I've had passed, I don't feel that I had to compromise my vision on any of them. idk, that's just my view.

Wow that's a great trailer, both the visuals and audio. Sounds like everyone brought their A game!

Were you the one who looked these people up for the purpose of buying the domain name, or did they come to you? If the latter, it looks like an obvious scam. The escrow and direct wire payment options are an extreme giveaway.

Agreed with ACO. Also, everything sounds super lo-fi, which I don't think works for an atmospheric soundscape. There's an abrupt transition at 1:42 that's pretty jarring. Some of your resonant sweeps are distorting, which I don't think is a good sound for ambient.

I can't count the number of times I've read something to the effect of, "I don't know how you keep releasing so many awesome remixes!" As if OCR is a single entity that is producing all the mixes.

It seems that the judges hit a wall early in this year. As an outsider looking in that is my impression. Maybe there's something going on behind the scenes we're not aware of. But it's disappointing to see our submissions trapped in purgatory.

I don't have hair loss in my direct family, so it'd be a damn shame to ruin that with creatine.

For my part I'm extremely jealous of BGC's success.

@creatine, hmm, I tend not to drink enough water as it is, so maybe I should avoid it.

Figure I'll share some progress... I actually have some semi-abs going on. Nothing to write home about, but I've never had anything approaching visible abs in my entire life, even during my teenage years when I didn't have a belly pouch. Course I never exercised regularly before. I'm a classic ectomorph/hardgainer, so this is pretty cool for me, and makes me want to go even further.

Does anyone here take creatine? Seems like it just provides you with some extra energy during a workout after you've ingested enough of it. Wondering if it's worth it, or are there side effects.

That's weird, how the hell did I end up there? I guess I did a google search. oh well, I'll stop ruining your thread.

That site seems much more expensive than the society6 page you linked to. The framed prints there seem pretty cheap. Not sure about the quality difference. edit: I see there are different ones on the two sites.

Holy shit. I NEED to acquire some of his artwork and frame it.

You guys have screwed yourselves because now I know who to pester if I need some rap vocals.

This is AWESOME. By far the best hiphop track I've ever heard on OCR.

yes, this is an open offer until further notice.

Luckily for you, Valhalla DSP plugins are 50 a piece, and they're all awesome.

As I get older I prefer games at take 10 to 15 hours to complete. There are many games that i simply don't finish anymore. I don't have as much patience for 50+ hour slogs as I used to. That said, I recently clocked up a ridiculous 85 hours in Tactics Ogre LUCT. I probably could have written a few songs in that time. I spent probably 200 hours in Oblivion, and have only finished it once. I honestly view that time as wasted. Not sure if any of this answers the OP. I think as gamers age their time becomes more valuable to them, and they're more likely to want games they can finish in a reasonable amount of time.

Will this be a KNGI release?
