That's actually the "Andes" font, that is the font used in Sonic 3 & Knuckles.I don't like the fontThat's cool and all, but I still don't like it.
This project isn't all about using old stuff. It's about taking old stuff, and making it cool, and an outline and drop shadow do not make that font cool.
On the other hands, there are other ways you could probably use the font in a cool way, but as it stands I just don't like it's use on that cover.
I always thought the "Andes" font didn't fit well with the game at all. Very 1920s-looking in a game all about speed and '90s-ish things like snowboarding, Michael Jackson (?), and vocal samples.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Who the hell comes up with this shit?
Sorry, but...
NO
God I've always wanted to say that...

Why doesn't The Wingless have his own VGM-themed Pee Wee's playhouse style TV show?
Midway should get on that shit.
Totally.
But how would it be interactive...?
And what? No "My Name is Nineko" during the Meetup Report??
I'll forgive you because in its place is S.S.H., but it would be a shame not to play it on a future show...
Edit: Kefka laugh ftw
Edit2: Nineko? You're organizing a meetup? Remember?

More album art...
Maybe even nomination for Best First Post Ever?
--But why are there 2 Track 16's?

The Runner Up Medley is tagged with all the contestants! DL it and find out. (^-^)
Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that...
Episode 051 is coming out at midnight (EST) tonight!
Crap!
*rushes to listen to rest of Episode 50...*

YAY, GO 1498!1497. since TEN DAYS AGO.also, a few lines in the writeup are interesting, so djp is aware that there are some projects ready to be released.
now I'm getting more optimistic, I believe that Project Chaos can be released within August
SHHH, don't jinx it!!
And as a site icon idea, I've got the S&K logo taken off the S3&K Collection for the PC:

Edit: sorry bout the lack of preview. Apparently phpBB doesn't accept .ico or .bmp files

Yes, it's still very much a work-in-progress, but I'm going away for two weeks tomorrow, so I thought I'd put this up to get some feedback for when I return.
It's beautiful!
But will the remixers & song titles be on the back cover, or only the names of the zones?
And I vote for the back having eyes.

*And BTW: doorbell & associated dropping-in skits = podcast cliche, IMO.
I've never heard another podcast do that. And anyway, we wanted to build it up as a surprise, not have the show start out normally.
Pottercast and the "M" podcast (Mugglecast) occasionally drop in on each other's shows in such a manner. Dreamstation.cc has also done it at least once, I think.
But otherwise you guys are doing a great job standing out from the pack! Don't know why more podcasts don't use background music or stingers that aren't outtakes.
--Oh wait, they don't have a arsenal of soon-to-be-1500 free tracks of video game goodness at their disposal!

I've been waiting for pixie to hit 50 since I was like 16.. But this is the wrong 50.. I'll have to wait till her tits get 2 feet longer..
OMG, you're not dead!
How the hell did they find you again?
(Edit: Never mind..)
Just started listening to the show and...
*Re: intro
I think Pixie's hyperventilating. Somebody help her.
*And BTW: doorbell & associated dropping-in skits = podcast cliche, IMO.

It'll be out when its out. (IE: 21XX.)
In the year 2101 people will start talking about it again, get impatient, and before you know it a war will be beginning.
...Sorry, it had to be said.

Or you could get all the emeralds plus super emeralds, beat the game then have super sonic in any zone you wantJust get Gens, it has a built in Game Genie. Type in the codes, and you can have Super Sonic in Angel Island.
its not that hard, and its far more rewarding.
I just didn't like the S3 special stages the way I enjoyed the first 2...
But that's not why I want to do it anyway.
I agree. I prefer console gaming over pc gaming. Even though I only have a Dreamcast, it's great because I can emulate all of my Nes, Master System, Game Boy, and Genesis/Megadrive favorites. Heck, the last time I played S3+K, it was on my dreamast. It was as good as the original, apart from really shitty sound emulation and the occasional graphics glitch.But still, while emulation is good, it's no good without the actual gaming setup, rather than sitting in front of a computer with a joystick. But that's probably me forcing my opinions on you O.oGet a gamepad for your PC.
Perfect emulation and good--if not better--control. And did I mention savestates?Or is there something about sitting on the floor in your living room in front of the TV...?
-
Still, you have some good choices on playing the games through and through. Whether it be emulation or Mega Collection (presumably on your XBox?) I hope it goes down on you
Fixed.
But whatever you do, don't play S&K Mega Collection for the PC (if you even can still). That was my 1st exposure to the game and it left a real bad aftertaste that lasted for years.
And oh yeah: Screw you DJP for delaying this project even more!
Edit:
See that you have to do the code using a special pattern. UP (wait), UP, DOWN (wait), DOWN, UP (wait), UP (wait), UP (wait), UP.Since the Genesis controler can't press UP-DOWN at the same time, you will understand that you have to succeed pressing UP and one fame and DOWN at the next frame with no interruption!
(wait) simply means you must have at least 1 frame of interruption between button presses.
Sonic 3 was made in Japan on 50 Hz PAL so I guess it's extreamly hard on NTSC 60 Hz. However, it is possible to do the code. I did this code with NTSC 60 Hz enabled in Gens. I succeed most of the times. I got the pattern from testing frames and key presses with a debugger, so this is the only way, and it works.
Sorry to keep off-topic, but even with my emulator slowed down to 25%, I can't do it.
For the love of God, can't anyone post a savestate?

Hahaha, look at that smile. Judging by the balloon, you must be happy with your snazzy new SuperGreenX CD's! (Get it? Ha? Ha?) Don't be surprised if a couple of those end up in the VGDJ Action Shot Photo Album. ^_~
EDIT: P.S. Watch out for that lady behind you!
Yeah, I was trying to imitate the
smile from memory and did a pretty poor job at it--though I did have that green hoodie on by coincidence. I noticed the woman behind me just before I posted it 
.I actually didn't have SGX's albums (or VGDJ, thanks to my dead iPod) with me Wednesday through Sunday. Trance music (don't start...) doesn't really fit in with the neo-Woodstock atmosphere there and besides, I haven't even listened to them all the way through yet. I'm really sorry; I have so much new music from so many sources to digest right now it isn't even funny!
I think I finally know how you feel as a Judge, Zircon.

Maybe Hayden would like to clarify things, IF YOU SPELT HIS F*CKING NAME RIGHT.
I'm not really pissed off, I just thought I'd scare you.
Uhm, originally there was going to be a mini-game you had to complete to unlock the tracks, but I think it'll just be a straight download instead. The mingame never got further than a beta - that is to say it works, but isn't nearly polished enough for mass consumption. It was pretty cool though, I may still post the unfinished version. But yeah, bonus tracks will probably just be a zip file download, probably 128kbps.
Probably.
I would love to see what you've come up with for the mini-game. I might even be willing to wait for it...
Else, imitating S3&K's cheats/debug mode would be cool.
--ooh! Or entering a code relating to the release date! (Yeah, that's never been done before!
)Might I also ask for higher bitrate encoding; like 160 or 192? Since this isn't OCR, you know that we can have higher filesizes than 6MB.

Re: "Episode 50:"
*reads thread post*
I hate you!
*listens to MP3*
I love you!
I'm so confused, ahhh!!!
Anyway, I'm finally back from my extended-weekend trip to an upstate-NY music festival and I happen to have some relevant pictures!
I withstood great personal embarassment to get the latter 2 picts. I hope you're happy.
-
Anyway, I was if the music on the teaser site will ever be released in MP3 form for mass consumption.
Yes. when the project is released... It does mention that you might have to unlock them somehow. I'm sure this wont be a big deal.
Hayden might want to clarify things.
Unlock them? How?
Collect 7 or 14 emeralds? Get all emblems? Press up, down, left, right, A and start at the title screen?
Judging that this is Sonic 3 & Knuckles, we'd have to collect the 7 Chaos Emeralds, and then the 7 Super Emeralds, along with the special Golden Emerald.
Or we could press <, <, ^, ^, >, >, while hanging on the first vine in Angel Island Act 1 to unlock the Sound Test.
If it's like the Sonic 3 standalone version, UUDDUUUU as Sonic flies in on the title screen, I think I'm going to shoot someone.
Anyone who's ever tried it will know what I'm talking about...
-
o_O ?
Finger-lickin' good?
Anyway, I was wondering if the music on the teaser site will ever be released in MP3 form for mass consumption.
And great justice.
Loving what I'm hearing so far. Can't wait
Edit:
And besides, the best song is Hydrocity.
Truth. I can't wait for house's track.
Edit: Rayza's Azure Lake track was sweet.
You can tell how old the project is cause Rayza has a track in it.
A bangin' one too! -
Was listening to old episodes to really compare, and found this:
"Last time I checked we were ranked like 185th on Podcast Alley""Woo-hoo!"
My how we've grown.
-
Also, I took about the 8 VGDJs before the Zircon's birthday edition on my vacation to croatia so I'd have something to listen to.
Now all you gotta do is go all the way back to episode 1. I don't know why I never did that, though. For some reason I started at 17 and went back to 14 and never listened to anything before 14.
It's hard to catch up when they're releasing new ones.
I subscribed around the same time, when the last one in the feed was #10. It took me until this year's 2-month hiatus to get caught up to the present.
There's some decent stuff in the early ep.s, but I do think it's better now... Aurora answers the inevitable "pants" question in #2, the wingless made his Aurora Mix just after, DJP gets interviewed for #4 (definitely not as good as his appearence on the VGL episode, but still), the Canada meetup was for #10, and they talk about the Doom Remix project in #12.
And you have to hear what Aurora & Rayza did "behind the scenes"
-
Oh that reminds me, someone needs to make a "JillyBeanMix."
Jilly Bean is not my lov-er
She's just a girl who claims that I am Zircon
But the Bear is not my son...
I think we have a stinger!
-
ITS BECAUSE WE HATE YOU
That's pretty harsh pixie.
I'll say.
Not using an appostrophe in "it's?" How could you?!
See? I can be sarcastic too, woot!!

What was wrong with Walt Whitman?
(The eleventh commandment was thought to be the one Jesus made "love your neighbor as yourself")
That would have helped...
Please tell me this is not the 1st time you've been exposed to the Rejected cartoon, P & Z ("My spoon is too big!")
And to all of you who don't know, educate yoself, foo!

Looks like some kind of satanic ritual.

Zircon, on the ReMix tutorial episode-thing, I'd be particularly interested in learning the basics of remixing. My neighbor is going to hook me up with FL Studio 6, which I understand is an entry-level program for this sort of thing.
I’d like to know how much musical knowledge (in terms of composition, arrangement, production, etc.) is required to get into the ReMixing scene. Does it take a formal education in music theory, or is it something you can pick up if you’re willing to work at it hard enough?
Seconded.
My 2 cents on the musical background thing: It certainly helps, but isn't a requirement. Hell, many of the guitar greats can't even read music! Some people have a knack for that kind of thing (Van Halen, from what I've heard), others learn the rules and then know how to bend them (Soundgarden).
It also depends highly on the style of remixing IMO. Making a solo piano remix and a trance remix seem to me like very different endeavours...
But back to the remix tutorial idea. Rather than teaching any one program, maybe you should talk about the principles of remixing: how to handle original content, how to use and improve insturment samples, sound editing concepts like compression and reverb, etc.
Maybe I'm a little bitter cause I can't have FruityLoops on my Mac; shut up...
Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Project Chaos - History

Posted
All we need on there is BLueBeRRy's version of the Sonic & Knuckles logo and I'd say it's pretty much perfect
Just noticed the Chaos Emerald in the corner.
