Oh yeah the track I'm doing is Donkey Kong 64 - Frantic Factory
 
I can't promise I'll actually have it done on time, but if I do that's going to be the one

Welp, good news everyone!!
Finally managed to get in contact, and have access!
I'll make the channel / threads in a jiffy! :D

And to those thinking about it but haven't yet. . .
COME ON IN, AND JOIN THE FUN! :3

IT IS JUNE 1ST, MY DUDES AND DUDETTES!!
That means...this has officially started! :D Yay! ~ Excitement!!
I'll be looking to make a Discord server for this today, and will post an invite to the CRAC server here for those who aren't there, but wish to participate and communicate via Discord.
But your time starts now, and you have until October to get stuff in!! The earlier, the better!--but take your time (you've got plenty of it) to get your tracks done, get feedback on them, and send me those pre-mastered WAVs!
I very much look forward to everyone's spooktacular contributions. ♡♡♡ 

And to those thinking about it but haven't yet. . .
COME ON IN, AND JOIN THE FUN! :3

Up to you! If you feel like you can do more to work on them, by all means, either take the time to work on them more, or workshop them either here on the forums or via the OCR Discord server. :)

Otherwise, if you feel they're ready to go, just send me:
a WAV of your mix, in 44.1kHz, in Stereo, 16 or 24-bit, -6.0 dB, triangle dithered (if necessary). This is a pre-master, WITH NO HEAVY COMPRESSION OR A LIMITER ON THE MASTER BUS, except for any very soft compression and EQ, for warmth and tone and gluing the full track together.
If that all sounds like gobbledygook, just sending me the thing at -6dB, unmastered, is cool. :D Can send it to me on here as an attachment or GDrive / Dropbox link through private messaging, or on Discord if you add me.
There's some other submission criteria, but the TL;DR is -- as long as your mix doesn't have any weird glitches or artifacts that'll mess up mastering the track, and you give me the source name and game (or movie or whatever) you remixed it from, and give it a unique name (something that isn't the original name of the song), that's fine.

Then I'll get started on my eerie pixel idea and see where it goes.
As for poems, Twas actually has nothing to do with AOCC. The Twas series was started by me back in 2002 as something goofy to post for Christmas in the old UnMod forum that year. It became a yearly thing after that, focusing on various UnMod and OCR happenings until around the seventh year, when it became about original stories that had nothing to do with the forums. Each one's been written entirely by me, and as one can imagine, they take some time to flesh out and write nowadays (20-plus pages of stanzas do be like that). Doing a second one each year just isn't something I have the time for, so if someone else wants to write up a poem specifically for the Halloween project, they can do it. I gotta save up my ideas for the rhyming novellas I write once a year 😄

Huh. I missed this somehow. Well, assuming people are still allowed to join in, I've been thinking about updating my song "Revenant's Waltz" to see if I can spruce it up over the original I did back in 2016.

Such a fun song! This captures the zaniness when you play EarthBound. The remix plays tricks with your ears which is exactly Mr. Saturn's intentions when you see him and his village. 😄

Yeah it does! Thanks for the update. Gonna get working at some point this summer 

Excellent! Well, feel free to work on it some more if you feel like (you have until the due date, which isn't until late October, to turn it in!) Otherwise, I just need it rendered to the specifics above, and a unique name for your remix. :) Can send it to me via Discord or by private message in the OCR forums > my profile page. :D
It can be something that was published previously! :) One of mine I plan on doing is actually a 2-3 year old piece I first made for a NewGrounds Halloween contest, and I think that was back in 2022?? I'm revamping the thing from scratch, adding onto the melody and harmony and putting a new spice / hook to the piece, but it has been published before on NG. So I figure as long as the submitted tracks haven't been mixposted by OCR before, it's cool. :D

But you can, however, submit it to the OCR Judges' Panel after subbing it for this album, or anywhere else! ♥ If it's a video game remix, I encourage it. But this album isn't restricted TO JUST VGM remixes. You can remix other sources from other media, and / or make your own original track.
Hope that helps. :3

Ok. I think my prog rock version of Super Castlevania IV - Dracula's Theme would be nice for this album.

Hey friends :) I'm in! can i just submit my remixes or how is it working?

Hallo hallo, another "long time listener, first time caller" for the list
A long time fan of VGM; Vinyl & CD collector, obsessive fan-music listener, occasional VGM remixer with my partner. I was finally able to make it to MAGfest this year (I come from far off Europe, and it only cost.... Ye gods, over a thousand buckaroos!) where I met so many amazing friends, and even more amazing strangers, and had so many amazing conversations with 'my people', where I had a sort of, 'wait, I'm not alone, thousands of people are just like me!' moment.
Especially it was great to hang out with the ever wonderful KyleJCrb, who I went to the con with, and spent a lot of the weekend with (and crashed the room of many times) - I was planning to check out the OCR panel regardless, but as he was one of the speakers, I made extra sure to clear my con schedule - and as I sat there at the panel, I wondered suddenly why I was lurking, because I felt like I would very much like to be a present part of all of this.

I spent a while after I arrived home observing the site much more closely, asking around interestedly to my friends of their own VGM projects, then I decided to poke my head in for real. So... Er... Hello!

Ok... Back in the saddle! Sorry for the delay in replies!
Hey! Welcome! Nice to meet ya'. I'll try to note down people who are "up for collabing" soonish, when I go in to edit the front-posts, again, so people joining in known who they can turn to for advice or collaboration on their mixes if they want it! Got you and Bonnie down for drums/percs & vocals, respectively. :) Depending on things, might knock on your DMs myself!
I gotcha covered. ;) Stay tuned!
Is this your "claim", so to speak? :D Let me know, and I'll update the main post!
Aww, that's sad. D: Albeit, doing like a mini-EP of those does sound very intriguing... :) Well, hopefully this'll last longer than 3 years, (fingers crossed!) But you're welcome to do any or ALL of the songs you have in mind. :D There's 0 limit on how many you can submit, just keep the number reasonable. x'D
@colorado weeks also voiced helping out with website-making and hosting, and I'm sure between ya'll, we can get that done! I'll also ping @gravitygauntlet because I know he's done some CD label-esque artwork and formatting, and his GF does as well. So if ya'll wanna jump in on this, song sub or otherwise, count me in! Just DM me in the meantime, but I will also be in touch when I consolidate more ideas together!

Ghouls ’n Ghosts - Title Theme Remix
 
 
 

Super Castlevania IV - Dracula's Theme Remix
 
 
 

as someone who tried to do this yearly (and only managed for 3 years (3 eps of 3 songs for 3 halloweens does sound kinda cool though), i love this idea, i have a couple of songs i'd like to do, i just need to pick one. but count me in.
also, if you need help with the website/hosting/whatever, let me know, i might be able to help.

I'm in, leaning towards something original instead of a remix but maybe that will change after i go through my game music archives.

Maybe something along the lines of my old BABY SHARK remix could work, because there's nothing more horrifying than baby shark...
 

 

Oooooh.... me thinks this might be a great place for choirs / singers doing banshee / ghost / goblin etc vocals to have lots of fun. Teeeheeheee. Very interested in singing on and/or arranging vocals for a track on this:)

Voting Guidelines
Teams were tasked with writing three mashup arrangements of two songs each, one from a Streets of Rage game and the other from an Etrian Odyssey game.
In order to make your vote, listen to the remixes and, for each pair, choose the remix that fulfills the following criteria (listed in order of importance):
The remix arranges both source tunes in an interesting and identifiable way into one cohesive piece of music. The remix is well-produced within the conventions of the genre. The remix is enjoyable to listen to. Stream the remixes via Soundcloud or Download the Round 3 Remix Pack (MP3).
For your reference, here are the source tunes for Round 3.
Streets of Rage vs. Etrian Odyssey II
The Last Soul Labyrinth IV - Petal Bridge [Dungeon: 16F-20F] Streets of Rage 2 vs. Etrian Odyssey III
Go Straight Labyrinth VI - Cyclopean Haunt Streets of Rage 3 vs. Etrian Odyssey
Shinobi Reverse Labyrinth V - Lost Shinjuku [Dungeon: 21F-25F]

Hiya! Well, hope you can spare some time to this, and if you're struggling to think of another thing to do, can ask around but doing two Touhou-style arrangements isn't a bad thing! X'D Don't mind at all having multiple if they aren't covering the same sources.
OOOOOoooo, a classic. I like it! Glad to get some FF representation here! ♡
Gotcha! I'll note it down! :D
