All past compo's have done this. I think it's basically keep things equal across the whole compo. I think it's a good rule to have as it doesn't give any one track a technical advantage over the other.

I'm definitely going to sign up 'cause I"m not having any luck completing songs for merely hobby purposes anymore. I think deadlines and competition really help. It sucks you're only gonna allow character themes 'cause overworld themes are just too good sometimes D: but 'tis ok. I hope this all works out (it should, because <3 <3 <3 RPG's) I'm going to go for something from an NIS game. Yay for more OCR obscurity : D

yay, i'm glad they're giving the option to change up a characters look completely through costumes. that's something project m did and it was really cool. it makes battles with the same characters easier.

I'm having trouble getting in touch with TGH, but I'm sure I'll get in touch before the deadline. I"m just curious, if it comes down to it, would the MP3 by itself be ok? I'm pretty sure by itself if it's up to submission standards to the site, I'm just not sure if TGH even has the project file anymore since it was so long ago. He might, but might not. I know the Links Awakening had it to where some songs didn't have WAV's available at submission and was wondering if that'd work here (if it wasn't available)

I think it'd make a lot more sense to things like that, so probably. It made things a bit easier sure but I feel like a lot of things in the past games were used to make it more accessible and honestly less boring (like XP share mechanics). I'm really curious how they're going to go about sea travel and diving. Hoenn is pretty much half made up of sea iirc, so they should do something to really spice things up with sea travel. No ideas off the top of my head but it could make the experience 100x better if they changed how things were done. They should seriously take this oppurtunity to change a bunch of things rather than just dropping Hoenn into the current engine like they seemed to do with the past two games.. Introduce new mechanics, or maybe change the landscapes to be a lot more natural than before. Hoenn was a very pretty looking region so graphics are going to mean a lot to the game.

I didn't read that other post until after posting mine (and reading this). My bad for being redundant, I feel silly now. This honestly looks like it's going to be the cutscene for when Groudon and Kyogre start trying to end the world. I kind of forgot exactly what happened to the plot around that time, but I do know that before the battle with Groudon everything was super bright, and with Kyogre there was that huge drizzle storm. End of the world stuff. I should knowing seeing as I played through those games at least 10 different times. D:

I'm pretty sure you can just use the slider on the side.

X&Y did the same thing, this is not any different. Only cutscenes and battles will be in 3D.

I'm going to watch this comment section for the next two hours or until my eyes bleed out.

I really appreciate it Brandon. Would you possibly mind sending me the WAV when/if you get it? I'd like to be able to listen to the song in the meantime. It was very pleasant I'll also do my part and hit TGH up on Skype if he doesn't respond in time here. That's the only other place I'd know where to find him. That loving bastard. :3

No messages from Chernabogue. Not sure what's going on or if it got lost in limbo :/ I'll contact TheGuitahHeroe, any files I had are long gone with hardware backups and losses so I'm hoping he still has the WIP. edit: or rather, the wav itself. all i ever had was the mp3. i haven't even been able to listen to the remix since my file lost 2 years ago 'cause he hid it on his box account. never bothered asking for it after that.

What happened to mine and TheGuitahHeroe's Smurfs remix. I'm pretty sure he sent in the finished file, is everything OK?

can't wait for the xy remakes when i'm too old and busy to care anymore. those will be the days.

Well, now you get to experience Ruby/Sapphire in X/Y glory. Though to be honest all the games have the same feel, not sure why X/Y would change your mind to begin with. If anything Ruby/Sapphire was the point in the series that felt really fresh with a bit of a different design approach. But it's all still pretty samey. vidja gaems suk knowing their last two remakes it doesn't really seem like they'll go for changing the plot up too much imo. i personally hope they do, seeing as ruby/sapphire had one of the best plots for the series (seriously, two teams, god pokemon showdown, what's not to love). I'm hoping they at least expand on the plot though, make it feel a little bit more fresh. Some of the locales have a chance to be extremely epic feeling (Mt. Chimney, that place you find Rayquaza). They could do so much more with the 3DS engine (especially now that they something to work off of with XY) so here's hoping they do it.

This Kontakt stuff always confuses me, but I see now. Yeah, I don't own Kontakt, just have the player and an $80 piano sample set that doesn't sound nearly as neat as the one you linked. Thanks though. : D

I really like the first one you linked, but if it's free then why does it say demo when I load it up into Kontakt? Am I doing it wrong?

Duuuude, oh man oh man, the whole soundtrack is gonna get remade. This is super hype to the max level.

my favorite games from the pokemon series : D and it was the best story too, so i can't wait to see how that translates onto the 3ds but please for the love of all that is good put in the battle frontier from emerald. that was literally the best part of the whole series. i spent so much time on that thing.

i like spoilers sometimes. surprises suck, and sometimes i just wanna see how a story plays out rather than trying to guess the whole way through. the most memorable spoiler was probably for silent hill 2. but the funny thing is i forgot about the spoiler, so it ended up being a pointless anyways. (I didn't play the game about 1 or 2 years after being spoiled) that was a good thing for that game though, cause you kind of assume how things will happen anyway, and they do, just in a completely different way, which is cool. also the visual novel little busters. but that's one of those games that i wanted to see how the ending happened more so than the actual ending.

source: (talking over the video, gonna have to upload the source myself. it's the first song that plays though.)mix: https://app.box.com/s/1mogx7xl4iy6dauug7jp (only like 1:00 so far) So literally because my old computer crashed... and the computer that i was putting all my projects on being sold without knowing.. I was literally left with nothing from my past few WIP's D: no inspiration or care to make any music lately besides the srcz too, but this is something interesting i started after hearing the source. it's fun so far. enough bloggy stuff, about the mix: I'm really wanting to bring a strumming acoustic guitar into this, and possibly even electric lead, but those are hella hard to make without a good sample. but the strumming guitar is coming along nice. Just gotta EQ it right or find a better sample. still can't figure out why the heck that little pop is happening in the render when the bell starts, but it'll be figured out hopefully by the next update. Also it's pretty bright for some reason, i think i left a master track on in the render but it's close to what it'll sound like in the final. there'll be an update by the end of the week. this one seems like it's gonna flow like a river.

tunin in' lookin sexy

i sent a demo of my thingy to rozovian.. i didn't know if the song would even meet the criteria so i sent it just in case. i can probably finish it before this weekend is up anyways, but didn't want to rush it if it couldn't make it to the project anyways. (im gonna finish it regardless though.. as a OCR track) i might just be overthinking things. i'm gonna try to get a little more done tonight and beat USA to the punch so it doesn't end up all by itself

Yeah, it's not specifically about OCR from what I can tell. I'm at least hoping it'll cover some great remixers who don't submit to OCR or maybe who don't submit regularly. (i.e. stemage)
