It seems the project has taken an unplanned hiatus and won't be done in time for our original deadline (November, 15th anniversary of DK64). I've stepped up to help get it on track, and created a dropbox for WIPs, which Mairujyat and SoSiouxMe have approved This means that by adding a subfolder with your name on it and rendering your mixes to that folder, we'll receive the mixes as soon as you make them, eliminating the hassle of sending them to the project supervisors. You can also hear tracks from other remixers on the dropbox
So if you still care about this project at all, just send me the email you use for dropbox and I will add you to the DK64 project dropbox folder. If you don't have dropbox, you can get it at https://www.dropbox.com/downloading (it's free). You are also free to stick with sending your mixes in by PM
Since I've been getting a couple messages regarding BlueTronic's post here, I'm going to post here that he did actually get my approval before going ahead and posting.
And I apologise for taking so long to respond to some of the inquiries. I've been running into a lot of things in life that haven't exactly helped my ability to be as on top of everything as I should be. Hopefully within the next couple months I'll be back in the game, and so far things are definitely looking like it'll be pretty soon.

I don't think there'd be much of a problem with everyone sharing their tracks within the project, to be honest. If anything, it'd probably be a huge help to get others motivated to keep working on their own remixes! Just be sure not to post anything in the thread itself; don't really think it'd be a good idea to reveal the album's contents before it's finished.
On a bit of an unrelated note, sorry for the massive silence on my part. I've lately been juggling too many things at once, and it isn't really helping the project any...
-
I just want to check in here and see if this is still going on? If yes, I'll keep tweaking my track because I want to finish it for this and I don't want the DK64 project to die off
The project is still slowly moving along, just one of the only things that seems to be lacking are proper updates here in the thread (my bad, sorry!!).
Over the past three or four months we sent out several rounds of check-in PMs to a lot of the people who'd signed on, but not too many people have replied, and there hasn't been anything particularly news-worthy going on as of late.
But yeah, we're still alive here!
-
Just a heads up: Project's still going, as far as I'm aware. Just the way things are playing out between school, work, and life in general, it's made it hard to keep on top of everything.
Going to be sending out PMs on the first and second of November to check up on everyone.
Again, sorry about all the silence, life's just been getting in the way of things.
-
Just letting everyone know that I've sent PMs out, so check your inboxes!
Looking forward to seeing everything so far!
-
Alright!
So this coming Wednesday is the check-in, and I'm looking forward to seeing how everything's going with everyone!
In terms of how this is going to go down, here's how it'll be in a nutshell:
Anyone with a status update or a WIP should PM myself and SoSiouxMe about it (Contact both of us, that way we're both on the same page). You don't need to do this right away, it's just if you feel that you're at a good enough point to let us know how things are going!
When the check-in date comes around, I'll be sending out PMs to anyone who didn't already give an update ahead of schedule. So keep an eye on your inboxes, and be sure to respond at least within a week or so of the check-in date!
Afterwards, we'll review your submission (if you've put one in), and run it past our judges to see what could be changed or improved upon. We'll do our best to get back to you as soon as we can, hopefully within the week!
On a final note:
There's a gap of about 3 months between each check-in, so I understand that it may be a little easy to lose track of things, but I wanted to let everyone know that if you pass by two check-in dates with no status updates, we reserve the right to remove you from the project. Not trying to be a jerk, just don't want to have like 7 songs claimed but dead in the water. Gotta make sure everything is moving along, is all.
Anyhow, I'm really looking forward to seeing how things turn out! Good luck, everybody!
-
!?
Link! I want to hear it!
Woah, woah, hold on everybody, we'll get to the 'showing off' part soon enough, just want to get the track evaluated before we start throwing links around.
It's mostly because this is really, really early, and we haven't yet formalized a small team to sort of weigh in on WIPs and proposed final versions.
-
I may wanna claim it...
Alright, well, let us know what ideas you have for it, and we'll mark it off as yours!
-
I'm a little amazed no one's claimed Jungle Japes.
So am I, a bit... Interested in claiming it?
-
Just got back from MAGfest! Glad to see several people have joined up!
-
Well, I'm going to be on my way to MAGfest soon. If anyone needs to reach me, drop me a line on Twitter. Can't do any huge conversations though! If anyone else going wants to meet in person and discuss ideas, play a game or whatever, just tweet me @Mairujyat! I'll be checking pretty frequently for any tweets!
-
I'm going and willing to bounce ideas, though i dunno if I can commit to the project just yet.
Even if you're not a part of the project, that's great to hear! I'm just really excited to know what other people might expect or want to hear in the album, and really look forward to any opportunity to communicate!
-
So not a lot of you know, but I'm going to be at MAGfest next weekend! I'm thinking that if anyone else on the project shows up, it might be a great opportunity to sort of do a bit of a get-together, probably throw around ideas, goofing off, play some games, etc etc.
Anyone else going to be there?
-
Just posting to let everyone know I survived the apocalypse!
Also, happy holidays everyone!
-
So I'm just gonna say f it and lay claim to a track on this project. I liked this game way too much not to at least take a stab at it - and since classes are wrapping up soon I should have time to throw an arrangement together much more quickly.
Put me down for Crystal Caves, I think. Kind of want to try a Frank Ocean-type contemporary R&B interpretation.
I think it'd be something worth looking into, though I am a slight bit hesitant, since my worry is that it might not suit the level's 'theme' (the crystal caves, trying to get it to bring something like that to mind).
Then again, I've been surprised quite often in the past, and I'm actually extremely curious how it might sound in the style of Frank Ocean. I'll bring it up with SoSiouxMe, though I've got a feeling you'll get it.
Add me on Skype, Yahoo, MSN Messenger, or Google Talk if you have any questions/complaints! I'm on all of those, my screen-name is the same, so it shouldn't be hard to find me!
Edit: Yep, you've got Crystal Caves! Looking forward to seeing how it goes!
-
If could be so bold, can I claim Angry Aztec's Level Theme without a current WIP? I would go for the Frantic Factory but it's already taken :l
Anyways, I have plans for an electronic-funk take on the Aztec!
I think that'd be great!
Feel free to contact me via PM or Skype or anywhere else, and I'll answer any questions or even bounce ideas around, if you want. Same name everywhere I go, I'm not too hard to track down.
-
Alright then! Put me and Blake Swift (Shadyvox) down for the DK Rap, then!
*Says this on the forums just to be official or something*
You've definitely got the DK Rap!
On a side note, add me on Skype/Gmail/Yahoo/Twitter/MSN if you want to bother me about something, or have any questions. I'm not too hard to find, since I use this name pretty much universally.
Anyway, good luck with your remix! Take it to the fridge!
-
I definitely want to join this project, but I haven't decided which track to choose yet. So many good choices...
I'll post with a choice soon. Good luck with the project!
Thanks! Don't rush too much in choosing something, just take your time with it, we've got quite a lot of time.
Yessss! So glad that people are getting together for a project on this game! Had such a blast with this one back in the day... maybe I'll try and put a track together for this one...Feel free to play around with any unclaimed tracks! Just be aware that songs can and probably will be taken without notice, so be prepared for that, if you invest a lot of time into something without claiming the song first.
But yeah, any help is greatly appreciated!
-
I see we are on the same page here. I'll close my thread then since you guys seem to be much more organized
Can I claim Snide's HQ? I was planning to do it in a southern blues style like Stevie Ray Vaughn or Muddy Waters and call it something to the effect of "Live at the House of Blueprints"
Now that... sounds like something that'd be fun to hear!
The extra Krem Isle Version of Snide's HQ is an optional part that could be in the Snide's HQ remix, though it does allow for a change in themes if you need to have the song take a break from the 'normal' version for a short spell, so don't be shy about using that at all in the remix!
I can't claim anything atm, but I'm very interested in this Funky's track is really awesome and I'd love doing it, but I just can't now.If I ever get the time to make something for this I'll PM you
This is pretty much me as well, except i'm lookin at jungle japes.Don't worry about it! The interest is more than enough, especially for Day 2 of the project!
Also, I'm available for quality assurance for WIPs if you'd like to hit me up on AIM sometime and send me works in-progress. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to discuss progress or get some advice from someone who's been around the block a couple of times
That'd be much appreciated, though I don't use AIM at all... Mind if I add you on Skype instead? I tend to use that for most of my professional contacts.
I'm also on Yahoo, MSN, Gmail, Steam, and Twitter. My screen-name is literally the best way to find me, just try adding Mairujyat in any of those, and you'll find me.
-
Just letting everyone know that while SoSiouxMe is the one who started the thread, I'm working behind the shadows like some evil mastermind, plotting to blow up the world with a giant slingshot or whatever.
On that note, feel free to contact me on Skype with any questions, my Skype name is the same as my screen name, and I'll probably be online and able to answer.

@Mairujyat: IDK what could've been up with OCR before, but I got both of your PMs O_o. I've responded to it already, but just in case. Yes, you may have Cloud Cuckooland =). I also don't know why my e-mail wouldn't have been working....but I have my IMs publicly listed....don't I? Though if you tried to contact me through MSN, MSN no longer shows me when I get an invite and I apparently have a ton and I'm not sure who's a spambot and who's a real person. AIM works better for me.
I figured out what my mistake was. Absolutely nothing turned up in the 'Sent Items' list on the PM system, so there was a bit of a reasonable assumption on my part that they didn't go through. Sorry about that.
I don't actually have AIM, and I've already got accounts with Skype, MSN, Yahoo, and Gmail, and so... yeah... I'm not eager to keep adding to the list, since it's pretty decently comprehensive. I'll stick to PMs, now that I know that they work.
Anyway, I might be claiming Glitter Gulch Mine as well, I have a 4-minute bit that I'd been working on for the past couple weeks that uses both Cloud Cuckooland and Glitter Gulch Mine's theme. I'll PM you what I have so far, and hopefully turn that orange text into magenta, if that's fine with you.
-
Ah, right. I should probably post a link to some of my past stuff as well. May as well go with stuff related to this:
Blackeye Theme-related thing.
Grunty's Lair thing.
Some thing vaguely based off Rusty Bucket Bay:
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/489702
And an unrelated album I did a while back:
http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41043
Sorry about the sudden link spam now. I have news to back it up, and make the post relevant again, thankfully: I've finished the uber-rough demo thing for Cloud Cuckooland, though it's mainly me playing around with instrument combinations and arrangements.
My hope is to find out which sections are more fun to listen to than the others, and then probably build another mix based off what section is chosen. I'd PM a DL link to one of you, but the PM system isn't working for me.
Also, Kirvee's email address was refusing my mail earlier on, so I'm not exactly sure how to go about handing it off to someone without publicly linking it. Can't use Skype or MSN Messenger while i'm between computers, either. :/
-
Sort of hit a snag, but I've made some headway. Basically my main computer for remixing died suddenly. But with the way things are looking, I may only be out of commission until Tuesday.
I have a 1-minute test piece already worked out, of about the first half of Cloud Cuckooland already, and I'm seriously committed to getting back on it ASAP.
-
Since Dream actually has a fair few compositions out thanks to Grant, I would say it applies only to the beta music.
Alright. Well, I've pretty much gotten myself attached to Cloud Cuckooland here, Sort of interested in claiming it, if it hasn't been stealth-claimed already.
Shadow of the Lich: Some 90s RPG-sounding-ish collection of music-noise
in Post Your Original Music!
Posted
Hey, so I kinda don't post here very often, and I'm a total dweeb lurker usually! Way back last year I started working on an album of like 90s RPG-type music or whatnot, first real big personal project, and I released the whole thing this past June. I'd really love to get some feedback on it - I'd been working on it so long that it's painful trying to go back and re-appraise it. ^-^;
I originally wrote a lot of the music using samples from authentic SNES games, but chickened out and recorded/bitcrushed my own instead, so I'm totally worried that I did badly trying to rework them to use the newer samples. Also really -really- bothered by the post-production and mixing, but again - I'd been working on it for a year straight, and I'm kinda tunnel-visioned by it still, so I'm not sure if it's just me after working on it for so long. Everyone I know kinda just goes "Woah, sounds rad" or whatever, so it wasn't very helpful in the weeks right before release, haha... ;>->
Sorry if I'm coming off a bit candid - I'm kinda always like this. I just don't feel comfortable just showing off my stuff while keeping my own thoughts to myself, is all. <-<;
Long story short: I made a thing over the course of year, I'm not sure if it's any good (or ever was...), and some input or critique would be great.

Thanks in advance, hope you all enjoy it! And if you don't: be honest and let me know what I should work on next time, alright? ^-^
