    The Fabled Warriors album series has had a pretty strong concept from the start: each track is not just a remix of music from Final Fantasy V, but also serves as a character theme for either a named character in the game or one of the many jobs in Final Fantasy V. We've done two albums already and have covered a lot of ground. WIth Volume 3, we'll be focusing on Faris, Gilgamesh, and the jobs you obtain from the fire crystal. Here's a breakdown of what I'm looking for: Faris The reckless and courageous pirate captain. Pirates Ahoy! Gilgamesh The eight-armed sword hunter. Battle on the Big Bridge Beastmaster “Trainers whose open hearts and strong wills allow them to capture and control enemy monsters.” aggressive Geomancer “Harnessing the power of their surroundings, they easily avoid pits and floors with damaging effects.” Cursed Earth heavy and rhythmic Ninja “Stealthy fighters who excel at surprising enemies and can wield two weapons at once.” Intention of the Earth fast and mysterious Bard “Musicians whose dulcet tones soothe savage beasts…or kill them.” melodic and lyrical Ranger “Nature-loving archers who can call on local wildlife for aid.” adventurous For Faris and Gilgamesh, the linked sources are required. For Geomancer and Ninja, these are just suggestions; if you think you can capture the essence of the job with another source, I'm excited to hear it. However, I'd like to avoid using sources from the previous FFV albums. To audition, please post a rough sketch of your concept in the Auditions forum in this club. Specify which character or job you're trying to portray. Your audition track should be at least 30 seconds; just enough to clue me in on what your approach is a general sense of your skill level. Collaborations are absolutely allowed/encouraged. You can audition for multiple tracks as well if you'd like. Auditions will run from today until June 30th, after which I'll evaluate and assign tracks. You'll gain access to more of the club then, and we'll also get some Discord chats going on the main OCR server.
  2. Yo I love this, brass is on point.
  3. Heard this on the Island Time 8Track. The beats are really groovy and I love the rhodes. Killer.
  4. Hey there are some pretty good tracks on here. 😏
  5. Inspired by the old playlisting site, I dove into Invision's database tool and built out a fun new feature I like to call 8Tracks! Create a playlist of exactly 8 OC ReMixes by entering their OCR IDs (e.g. OCR01235) in the form and generate a player that you can listen to and share. We've put together a couple of 8Tracks already, which you can find at the 8Tracks Index, but feel free to make your own! The link is also available at the top of the forum page in the main navigation next to ReMix Submissions. To premptively answer a few questions: Why can't I do more than 8? The forum software I'm using to build out these kinds of features is very limited, so I need to lean into these types of restrictions to make them work. Wouldn't it be easier to have an "Add to playlist" button on the actual ReMix pages? The main site and the forums are actually far more separated than it seems. It's almost impossible to develop user-specific features for the non-forum part of the site. Is this the playlist function you've been talking about for a long time? No. Eventually I want to build a proper, robust playlist function that hooks into the remix database and also ties to user accounts with no restrictions on playlist length; that will come as part of the full site rewrite that will happen eventually. However, building this feature (especially the JS stuff and how it interacts with the YouTube player API) has taught me a lot and I'll be able to apply these lessons to the eventual rewrite. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy. Looking forward to queueing up some 8Tracks from you. :) -- DarkeSword
  6. Here's an 8Track of remixes by me that I consider my personal best!
  7. We have some of them still on the site's webspace. Can probably put a download together when I find time.
  8. Yeah, things got quieter for djp on the site because…*checks notes*…some guy who posted on PPR a lot decided to leave. Sure. The ego you have to have to come back to OCR, comment on a year-and-a-half old goodbye thread from our site’s founder, and somehow make it about yourself and your dumb grievances is astounding.
  9. Hey all, I've updated our default theme to the new dark mode theme. This new theme reflects some of the style changes that have been made up front on the main site. If you notice any glaring issues with the new theme, please make a thread for the specific problem you notice in our Site Issues & Feedback forum so that I can address it specifically. Our old theme is still available in the theme selector at the bottom of the forum page if you prefer the light version. ENJOY! -- DarkeSword
  10. Really liking this. Let’s call these done!
  11. 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]

  13. First one I think works better. Can probably bump the size and might explore some font options.
  14. @Guy In Rubber Suit let’s get you on 2004. Wanna avoid any specific characters from games but having people on the art is fine. Just art, and leave space for typography. @CNDR wanted to see a sample of art before you can claim a year, which is why I hid your previous post. We’re also not using season names, we’re specifically saying “Q1” instead of “winter” etc.
  15. Should say OverClocked ReMix as the title and 2003 Q# as the subtitle. Don’t need to use the logo or the arkanoid font.
  16. Yeah that's not bad. I don't mind breaking the phones and controller up. We'll have to figure out typography though, maybe bottom right corner would work. I can handle the typography.
  17. Any way of working the SNES controller in somehow?
  18. Weird! I'll tweak settings. EDIT: Fixed something. Try again?
  19. Looks great, Mel! Let's get you in on 2003. 😎
  20. We're looking for quality, human-created artwork for the quarterly albums project. No generative AI! Post a sample of your artwork here and if it the style vibes, we'll assign a year to you to work on. Looking for some design chops, folks, not just fan art. Landscapes, objects, etc. Happy to answer any questions. 😎
  21. We need four variations of one artwork.
