Bahamut Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 So just a status update - we are in need of $1200 total, and we currently have about $400 for the physical printing. We are in need of $800 more. If you donate $40, you will get a copy as thanks! Donate now and help us make this a reality!
HitoriJaNai Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Ooh... How do we donate, exactly? You've piqued my interest!
Level 99 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Holy...$40 donation for a physical copy? That's cutting pretty deep, man, dunno if I can swing that at the moment. How many physical copies are you ordering?!?

I'm pretty sure I didn't but I told you to remind me If you say "yo, dkc2, $40" Friday 13th you'll get some moolah right away <3 <3 <3
LuketheXjesse Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Paying for college sorry. Also Magfest (if by some miracle I can mooch off someone's room).
Dafydd Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Yeah. What does the $1200 pay for exactly? Will the physical copies be for sale to, I dunno, anyone? How many copies will be made and what will they cost a piece? Who gets the money from the sales - OCR? In that case, I'd rather pay the lower price and have that money donated to OCR than pay the higher price so that others can buy it for the lower price, since I'll get a copy either way.
jmr Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Yeah. What does the $1200 pay for exactly? Will the physical copies be for sale to, I dunno, anyone?Unless things have changed since last week, they won't be for sale: According to Bahamut "These are never for selling."Also: did you get my last PM, Bahamut? If everything's all good I can send my donation tomorrow.
KyleJCrb Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 $40? The album better damn well contain the cure for cancer at that price!
Jenz Drake Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Sorry Bahamut..that's too much for us right now. :\ We can't even afford to buy food...
Bahamut Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Well, it's not a for sale thing - CD printings for OCR are always promotional, and never for sale. This will be a 2-3 CD album (hopefully 2, but we are cutting it very close on minutes per CD), so I'm guessing costs will be similar to FF4's printing, although we should be able to print more CDs as we're going the digipak route. If I remember right, FF4 only printed 200 copies or so? OA probably can correct me on this though, but the number sounded quite low. I have to check the numbers when we have all of the material ready for printing the CDs. Remember, getting a physical copy is a gift of thanks - I could just as easily foot this bill myself, as I have the cash, but it's a lot of money for one person to pay for. I will naturally foot the necessary difference, but I'm hoping I don't have to. All interested people, paypal the $ to wesley.cho@gmail.com . The amount is up to all of you of course as to what you want to donate. Some have donated quite a bit! jmr: I did get your PM pu_freak: Thanks for your donation! Another Soundscape: Sure if you want
Pavos Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Hmm it seems that with the current exchange rate, I just didn't make the $40 Ah well, perhaps next month if I get my next salary I'll donate some more Just out of curiousity... I live in the Netherlands, will the physical copy be shipped to me aswell?

Dafydd Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Ok, just to get this straight, these CD's are promotional. What does that mean? You give them away for free at various events that OCReMix attends? To ordinary people like myself (were I to attend) or to people "in the biz"? Both? I feel like I've been missing out on something very fundamental and simple here. I'm in no way trying to question what you're doing, I just don't understand how this works, and everyone else seems to.

We do give them out for free at various stuff like at OCR panels at various conventions, or when available offer to give them as a gift when people purchase OCR merchandise in person at said conventions. They are never sold individually for profit, as OCR is a non-profit organization and is about promoting the music.
Contricity Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 So will there be a torrent for this album? I've been anxious to see how this one turned out and the anticipation is killing me. o.o
KyleJCrb Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 So will there be a torrent for this album? I've been anxious to see how this one turned out and the anticipation is killing me. o.o No, I think they planned on releasing it as a spanned .rar archive across 400 3.5in floppy disks. Seriously, has any OCR album release NOT had a torrent thus far?
Monobrow Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 So will there be a torrent for this album? I've been anxious to see how this one turned out and the anticipation is killing me. o.o nice name... lol
Bahamut Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 So will there be a torrent for this album? I've been anxious to see how this one turned out and the anticipation is killing me. o.o As Kyle responded above, there will of course be a torrent! I'm going to hype this up by saying you probably won't be disappointed - people did a phenomenal job, and I really can't state enough how happy I am with everyone's effort. It's truly something that I feel honors the original work pretty well.
Aninymouse Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 i am proud and i haven't even heard but, like, 15% of the project so i imagine you would be fairly proud having heard 100%
Emunator Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 i am proud and i haven't even heard but, like, 15% of the projectso i imagine you would be fairly proud having heard 100% Let's see... I've heard 5 completed tracks (Fishy, Audix, Tepid, Nekofrog, and OA's) 1 almost-complete track (Taucer's) and then at least 20+ minutes worth of preview tracks... So I'd say I'm probably a bit more than 15% spoiled but I'll echo your sentiment This project will be amazing, no question about it.
Bahamut Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Well I could just be talking out of my ass Edit: Taucer's track has changed some - the final version will be much better.
Bleck Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 so is this coming out soon or am I going to have to sit through another overplayed RPG album
Bahamut Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 We're really shooting for December - working pretty hard at it right now in getting the final stuff together.
