Apologies for the bluntness, Meteo. Didn't mean to disrespect anyone, just wanted to be upfront about everything. But really when I said suitability I meant that. There were many tracks that sounded really cool (yours included, especially the "need insurance" one) but they just weren't what we wanted for our game's main menu. Also there were a few guys who basically said "here's my track, let me know if you want any changes or something completely different." So this is an invitation for them to try something different, if they want to. I figured it could only help us in getting the perfect track.

Hey guys, quick status update. First off, we’re setting a deadline: June 7th. And since many of you have requested feedback on your submissions, we’re just gonna answer all those requests with this: If your name isn’t K-wix or Danimal Cannon, then your track wasn’t what we’re looking for. These guys’ tracks are the only ones we’re considering right now---They’re a whole tier above the rest (not just in quality, but mainly suitability). So feel free to submit another track, but if you want us to give you specific, individual feedback then your first draft needs to be in the ballpark of these other two tracks. Thanks!

We'll most likely ask for some modifications if we're considering your track, so I'd say go ahead and send it in. We've had several tracks submitted by some really talented dudes. So far there's two that stand out from the rest in terms of quality/suitability, but we'd still want to see some changes to both those before we make the deal (one of them isn't really finished yet). Also I just discovered I have some PM's here. Will reply to those now...

Probably within a month or so we'll set a deadline. We'll give a warning at least a week in advance.

Hey, composers! We’ve been making a game for Xbox Live Indie Games and PC called Murder Miners (It’s an online FPS with construction / destruction---Think Halo meets MineCraft. Check out some rough gameplay). We’re looking for an awesome retro take in the style of the Halo main menu themes (E.g., , , , ) to play during the intro/title screen/menu. We don’t want to be too specific here in order to give you some creative freedom, but we want something sort of “cerebral” like the Haloz, and ideally it would pick up at some point near the beginning into something more epic/heavy. Another reference could be the , although that’s pretty simple. Something more complex like would be great (but might be too upbeat). And it doesn’t have to be purely 8bit/16bit chiptune stuff. It can have some modern flare to it if you think it fits. The length is really up to you, but obviously we wouldn’t want something only 45 seconds long or so.Email us your submission(s) at admin@jforcegames.com if you have something we might like. If we want to use it, we’ll give you $500. If we don’t want to use it, at least you’ll have another track you can license out to somebody else! (You obviously retain all rights to your submissions. However, we ask that the accepted track be kept exclusive to our game for at least 6 months after its release.) And we don't have a concrete deadline yet. The game won't be released for another 1-2 months probably. Once it gets close, we'll post a deadline here (unless we've already gotten a track that's just absolutely perfect that we definitely want, then we’ll post here that we’re no longer taking submissions).
