So yeah, I'm an interactive media/game artist, and a web designer now (although audio is a sideline). Take a play at my new HTML5 platform action game demo! I'm deciding based on user feedback and reviews wether to continue with this project or scrap the whole thing and make it into an RPG. Here's the game:
http://www.interactive-media-arts.com/techdev/2010/parsonsa2228/html5_game/index.htm
Everything, including the fake-bit music, is produced by myself except for the dialogue and narrative which is written by my beautiful girlfriend. Adobe and Scirra Products were used in production.
The story is about a prarie state where a factory dumps toxins into the main river. Because of vegetation on the affected plant life, both humans and creatures develop mutations and super-powers. The government persecutes the creatures while others try to establish unity between the creatures and the regular humans. Within a government family, a boy who has super-powers is born and after discovering his powers, his mother goes into exile while his father takes him away to a small town outside the corrupt capital city. when his father goes to find his mother again, the boy follows him into a war between the creatures and the corrupt government of the city.
You get to play two levels in the demo. One where you play the boy following your dad, and the other where you help people in the military defend a small town around the city.
Let me know what you think. And yes, the introduction was meant to sound like the intro to Streets of Rage with a hint of novelty. Enjoy!

I love the gritty underground feel of this!
The samples are perfectly placed.
Question on the lyrics: Have you ever heard of The Joe from Alberta? You sound exactly like him!
I'm looking forward to this if it makes it as an OCR. Excellent!
Classic underground East Coast sound 4 life!

Bah, my stuff was worse when I first started.

Hell, NO! (don't re-sub)

I love the arrangement but those wubs are way too overpowering and can be very annoying even with the various LFO changes. If there were more various wave forms wubbed and they had different cutoff and resonance changes and variations, it would be utterly sick! Vary up the wubbing and use careful compression and leveling with each patch and you should have an excellent track.

There is nothing wrong with a woman being sexually forward.
As long as she doesn't send mixed signals or sleep around with more than one guy.

Also don't call women sluts because they're showing skin, thanks.
This. If you watch carefully at some movies back before the 50s, sometimes the way women dialogue and use body language alone can be very erotic. Of course, the other side of it too is that women can seem slutty but they just want to establish a friendship. Think about Curly's wife in the book "Of Mice and Men." She seemed slutty but the fact is that Curly kept her at home and she was treated like property and just wanted a friend to be with.
I know this is about women in games but I just wanted to flush out my agreement with Archaon. Also, can someone point out an example where a female game character with full clothing did something slutty or erotic and it actually aroused you (and no Aerith from FF7 doesn't count).

One of my Maya professors is going. Too bad myself and the class won't be able to go with him.

Sorry for the late responce guys XD
This thread is for ANY type of battle theme.
Movies, games, toster recorded songs, dirty videos of guitar pickups , you name it!
You said, ANY, right?
-
Well, you weren't specific. Here's one of my own.

The 90s had plenty of dumb eurodance/house/boyband crap that was universally loathed by people who grew up in the 70s-80s, just like how nowadays the 90s generation loves to hate on mainstream dubstep and hiphop.
The reason that the 90s SEEM better to you is because you're remembering it with a healthy dose of childhood nostalgia, and you probably don't even remember most of the really bad/mediocre stuff they played anyway, just because it was so forgettable.
The bad news is that most of the stuff today is NOT forgettable SIMPLY BECAUSE THE RADIO TODAY PLAYS THE SAME 20 SONGS ALL THE FREAKIN TIME WHILE MY IPOD PLAYS 7000 SONGS ON SHUFFLE! Radio had so much more variety in previous decades before 2005.
Plus, hip-hop in the 90s compared to 2010...really...if I need to explain AGAIN why DJ Premier's east coast tracks are way better than what the south puts out, I'm going to have to just submit a remix explaining why in Chris Martin's format.

Honestly, the best lyrically written rap piece on this website by far. This is exactly why all rap should have stayed the way it was back in the 90s and not go the way of the mainstream crunk and snap cults of today. The beat is also very hot and grimey and shows more street than Lil' Wayne's club hits. I highly recommend it.

My girlfriend has been into InFlames since day one.

Hi! After a long hiatus from this site, I think I've found a place to submit some of my own works of poetry/spoken word which I've been using in my own music lately. Here's one for submission for this round:
Twenty-eight years on the planet Earth,
One simple mind that never strayed since birth!
My fingers have channeled many ideas through tools of creation,
Sketches, pianos, computers revolved 'round my vocation.
The crowd used to be my motivation,
Novelty was my only book of innovation,
After facing its fiestiness, a PA's sytem shutdown after broadcast,
Failing schoolwork and a youth that wouldn't last,
To hell and back for me was handcuffs to salvation,
Calvinism was my root while Hobbes checked my plantation,
Prideful piety challenged the service under a name,
The score used to be fun until my best friend added his own rules to the game.
I turn to new hope dodging what Koopa shells bring,
After a favoured jewel accepted someone else's ring.
It won't be just another year with distractions lurking,
After tasting every dish, I now feast on cold turkey!

Apparently J-Redd and Groovemaster are coming out with a new album:
And of course here's my experience in the chiptune world:
-
I see this as a potential for a bangin' single that is inspired by F-Zero rather than an OC Remix. I'm looking forward to where this underground hip-hop mix is going.

I'm digging the synth work. It's got a nice West Coast feel to itI I also love the Falcon Puuuunch/Kick sounds thrown overtop. Although I may be listening with bad headphones, I find you really need to make those Primo-ish drums much more chunkier and meatier. The snare needs to SLAM!
Other than that, great great job!
I also use Flare on the iPhone for scratching if you need some fresh "waka waka whaaa?" sounds.

1. What is the general opinion of MIDIs?
2. Are they actually sound files?
1. The technology should be used in at least one part of digital composition unless everything you do is live.
2. They do go through your soundcard, so I'll let you decide for yourself on this one. It really depends on what you mean by sound files.

I've heard lots of wubstep even before it grew to where it is today. I lean more towards the UK releases because that's where it started from and that's where most of the good stuff is. But there are a few gems here in North America that seem to stand alone as great classic dubstep.
My issue with dubstep is the fact that it always has to have a dark tone, a drop, or it has to be set in a minor key. I'll listen to any dubstep people throw at me as long as there's more to it than just "wub wub."
Aww, dang it, what am I saying? Just enjoy dubstep for what it is.

Here's a page from a buddy of mine in college:

Wow. I can't believe what I just started. Let me just sit back and enjoy the show, because you guys obviously just don't give a **** about ANYTHING I'm getting at.

You really need to just leave it be re: Joe Cam and vulgar rappers who cuss. You don't like it. We get it. People will still cuss and be vulgar. You'll be alright.
No, you do not; and that's why I so-called 'milk threads" and "bitch" according to "King Cam," because people don't understand what I say yet I speak in the Queen's English. I'm loosing respect for this community because of that and I'm loosing respect for hip-hop. I know that the sodomy in rap will only get worse, but regardless, a need for classic material (golden age hip-hop compared to Timbaland dirty-south sound) is the reason why I prefer songs like this over mainstream wannabe sound (vulgar or not, Christian or gangster).
Anyway, I'm tired of having to "milk" when people think they know me but they don't. If people don't like what I have to say, they can disagree with me. But if they think they understand me, they don't have a clue. I'm a book. Have fun reading, feel free to ask questions, but don't make your own translation; you'll get it wrong. Few people learn, many vegetate!

I love the 80s feel this has. The synths and even the snare remind me of a higher quality version of Korg DS. I'll bet it would get virt's grandma on the dance floor for sure!

I'll probably be banned for the conclusion of the review, but I don't really care anymore.
The flow is excellent! These guys know how to ride a beat. Lyrics are a little cheesy, could be a little more meaningful, and could be a little bit sharper in terms of eq-ing but the over-all feel of the track is excellent. The rhyming schemes are amazing and very very well crafted. 90s electro patches with some grimey Primo-ish sounds with a bit of a modern twist make this thing a perfect example of post-modern hip-hop sound. Nothing too fancy, but I think joecam and the Crackaz could learn alot from these guys.
Selah!

Journey of Darius: An HTML5 Platform Game Demo

Update: HTML5 can be pretty finicky sometimes. I fixed some of the music loading issues as well as the floating sprite bugs. I can't guarantee everything will work smoothly as I've discovered issues with Chrome cutting some sounds off and certain animations freezing on me in Safari. I'll keep updating the project as time goes. Thanks for the feedback so far!
