As mentioned in the OP: So you're welcome to suggest ideas or give it a shot yourself, like I did.As for girl-tees, maybe something simpler and non-invasive, like this (but with better resolution logo): Otherwise gals, Diotrans covered the subject already.

DAT ASS! Superb trailer and awesome work on the new logo guys. Time to replace the old Badass sig I made aeons ago with the new design:

@The Damned: Just letting you know that I've sent my track to Will a few days ago. Though with the UK panel taking precedence over the weekend, I've yet to hear back from him.

Thanks for doing my favorite Daft Punk song justice. Quickmix yes, but full of nostalgia goodness. Masashi Hamauzu is among my VGM heroes, and this track sounds like it could have been made by the man himself.The Lucretia reference also reminded me of Dirge of Cerberus, which is equally atmospheric and some of Hamauzu's best work imho. Now that I think about it, I'm also reminded of Nobuo Uematsu's A Secret Sleeping Deep in the Sea from FFVII. Anyway, it's very cool to see you explore new horizons with the same level of success as your regular stuff. Great work and I really hope you'll score some games in the future bro.

Status: All track claimed. Next due date January 17th 2012.

You might be interested to know that the People's Remixing Competition is exactly what you're describing (minus of course the incentive part). This compo could really use some love, so if you have time and wanna bring under-appreciated VGM to light, please consider entering. Now, this thread confuses me because, last time I checked, VG-remixing was still the act of paying tribute to other people's work for the fun of it. Seeking extra recognition within the very community for that exact reason comes off as overtly selfish if not a bit hypocritical. Especially considering the powerful social tools available today and the fact that OCR is doing everyone's promotion for them, free of charge. If you really want more exposure, making an original album and spreading the word about it (like many remixers did) would be more productive. Also, I like how tons of requests have been left unanswered for years, yet a mixpost incentive suddenly made everyone wanna remix obscure vgm. Apparently, the good ole love of game music wasn't motivating enough for some.

Imho, the 'University' trend caters more to gym-addicts and fashionistas rather than the actual OCR population/fanbase. The 'Instruments' one is great, but slightly too busy atm. Sometimes, less is more. If you're ever open to suggestions, here's my 2 cents:

What about using ingame dialogue to provide a backdrop for the arrangement? Does this warrant an instant rejection as well (including for project mixes)?

Been looking at the Water Area theme for a while myself, but considering how obscure Drakkhen was, an entire album might be too optimistic. That being said, with a quick search you can find on the web, though I can't guarantee they'll suit your tastes.Also, I've enjoyed its sequel (Super Drakkhen/Dragon View) a lot, so I might consider looking into it in the future.

Yeah, same here. Last time I checked Nintendo was joining the fun with the likes of Sony, EA, Capcom and Square (among others).

Yay! Glad that the account was brought back to life so swiftly. By the way, in regard to: I'm just gonna go ahead and speculate since no other reason for the takedown was given and this wasn't mentioned anywhere in this thread. Could the links in every video description to buy hoodies/shirts and to make donations have led some people to draw the wrong conclusions?

Yeah, after loosing the albums in a recent HDD crash, and with Will's site down, I was kinda sad not being able to get them back. I too enjoyed the previous years OCC and am definitely looking forward to this year's edition.

Got a few questions for ya Callum: -is the project still dubbed The Dragon's Tale? If not, what the new concept? -why open the whole BoF soundtrack but omit halt the tracks for BoFII? -have you started recruiting pro-actively yet? (mixers list, invites, etc.) Also, I'd like to point out that making such an album is a pretty long endeavor/commitment on the director's end. Having sources claimed, finding a place to organize the project and motivating everyone to finish their tracks can be tough. Not to mention all the administrative work going alongside the project to ensure it can be completed and released properly. So I hope you're ready to get down to business and that it's not just distraction from studies for you. Best of luck man.

Too bad Shinny had to step down, but if Tuberz is willing to assume project lead, then I say go for it. I'm still up to take part in the album and remix my source once everything gets back on track. Simply ask a mod to lock this thread and start a new one. http://ocremix.org/info/Album_Project_Guidelines If you're shooting for OCR status then you need to draft a project proposal and organize with OCR peeps. But first you're gonna have to gather enough interest and ensure enough well-known remixers are on board. Alternatively, you can contact KyleJCrb with your project idea to try and get private forums on KNGI. This could help you organize things in a more efficient way. Good luck.

Gravity is most likely your worst enemy in the advanced modes. The third or fourth course in Hardcore took me around 10 min the first time. Some sections are gruelling even with a solid racing game background, but that's cause we're not used to think that way when driving. You can get around most obstacles or situations with quick reflexes, but there's definitely some trial and error involved here. It's still a lot of fun to play though.

Ahah, yeah I saw the trailer for this one a few days ago and it really cracked me up. There's a plethora of references to old NES games, and the mash-up is really well done. The general aesthetics and tongue-in-cheek humor reminded me of Dorkly Bits as well. Will be checking this one for sure.

Just to clarify: does this means ambient electronica/orchestral only?This is a fantastic idea, and whether or not it gets co-released with Eidos, as a Deus Ex fan I'm very excited about this project. Would jump on this in a snap if I was a proficient, OCR-level musician. Regardless, I'm eagerly looking forward to the entries.

Yeah, and one that can be difficult to grasp for a newcomer, since it's hardly ever mentioned. That's the point I was trying to make. Thanks for clarifying things on that subject Wes.

I hear ya Wes, but there were also times when such confidentiality issues stirred up drama. Thus my question: has it now become acceptable to release project tracks early outside of OCR?

Blast Corps previously received a little attention in the PRC, but as for Fighting Force, I don't think it has been covered. Yuke Yuke Trouble Makers (Mischief Makers original title) is indeed a rare gem that definitely deserves moar love. No arrangements for it either afain. I'm working on mixes for other Treasure games atm, but maybe I'll give this one a go later. If you're so inclined, a tribute album to Dynamite Headdy was released earlier this year. Check it out here.

Who knows? Maybe Darkesword will organize a Launch Octopus EP, like with the Concrete Man theme after the Rockman 9 album. So long as there is interest from people to hear remixes, hope is not lost.

@jugisahunk: Ruku's mixes aren't posted on OCR. He just linked you to them via youtube. Just follow the links above and if you've enjoyed Tenchu as much as I have, you're in for a treat.

Gonna ask this as candidly as possible: doesn't this effectively constitute a precedent that it is now acceptable to leak project tracks ahead of the release? Again, just an honest query on my part, no harm intended.

Great birthday sir. Listening to Fly in your honor.
