    A compo idea I had.

    in Competitions

    Posted

    Okay then, as soon as I get a ThaSauce compo space (no idea who to contact) I will get right on it. :)

    I'll probably make deadlines in-line with the PRC, I.E. they have 2 week deadlines, week one would be MY deadline.

    Star Fox is now 20 years old !

    I remember acquiring that game....back then the most advanced graphics up to then was sort of faux 3D with Mode 7 graphics. All that changed with Star Fox. I loved that game...

    Learned about the SuperFX chip later on, so at first I couldn't figure out how these amazing graphics were done on the SNES. Was a good time for gaming. These days the graphics are sort of laughable as far as 3D goes, but they've more than earned their place in gaming history. :)

    Sounds interesting, after ORC and TOMC/CMC I don't think there's an original remix competition so it would be a good addition.

    If you do it like PRC, so with a one week remix stage and a voting stage after that, I suggest to allign it with the PRC schedule (to not have the remixing deadlines close to each other).

    By align, you mean...

    I also think the event organizer should make a video every round, dubbing the submissions over the game segment in question.

    Awesome idea. I think I might just do that. I think I might have Mr. Snake Man himself (jkesnake17) help me with the whole thing too, If he wants to.

    I was thinking about how to further make compo ideas and get the community involved, and here's something I came up with. If this gains steam I will make another post with the compo itself, as well as a weird storyline that seems to be all the rage in compos on here....:dstrbd:

    How would YOU do it?

    Basic premise: Participants would have to make an original work, BUT....in the exact style of a track from a game. For example, lets take Grasslands of Time from Chrono Cross:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCCsGZAGv0Q

    You would have to make an original with the exact same "feeling" of this track, I.E. not the same instrumentation, but the same general feeling. Short sources would be even harder, such as the Castlevania intro:

    (0:00 - 0:06), since you have little to go on as far as an actual "feeling". I will also ask Darkesword if I could have a voting area, like his compos. Not sure of what the timing for this would be...maybe two weeks a song....or perhaps one week as the norm. And I'll probably use a bracket system as well.

    Anyone interested/

    Suggestion for Direct Posts.

    This is something I have been wondering for a while. Whenever there's a post on the main page, and it went through the judges panel, I like to compare the source to the mix sometimes as well. It is easy to find the source or sources that way, since that is part of the submission requirements. But, with DPs, the source used is not readily availiable. Lets take the latest post for example, "Iron Will March" by Torzelan: http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02599/

    The song link leads here: http://ocremix.org/song/23521

    The source is nowhere to be found. However, if we do the same thing with "The Myth of Darkmoon": http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02598/

    You have the same link scheme (http://ocremix.org/song/23471), HOWEVER, if you look in the Judges judging thread, the source is readily available:

    is there any way to directly link the source in the "Song(s)" link instead of what you are doing currently?
