Liontamer Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 [16:30] <zircon> you wanna do a topic for it? I'd be glad to. PICK IT UP @ CD Baby! http://cdbaby.com/cd/zircon5 COLLECT IT @ VGMdb! http://vgmdb.net/album/13532 Free YouTube preview of track #14, Star Command, featuring Sixto Sounds! http://tr.im/zFIT FITTEST gameplay trailer! VISIT Rebel Dwarf, producers of FITTEST! http://rebeldwarf.com The FITTEST Original Soundtrack is a true tribute to classic video game music, featuring twelve full musical tracks in a wide range of musical styles influenced by such games as Turrican, Mega Man, Donkey Kong Country, Contra and Dance Dance Revolution. Throughout the highly melodic score, zircon (Andrew Aversa) expands beyond the realm of his previous breakbeat and trance albums with tracks like “Morsecode” (uptempo electro-funk), “Fusion Master” (80s synth pop in the style of Michael Jackson), “Star Command” (over-the-top rock/metal), and “Psychesphere” (psychedelic, sitar-laden grooves). Of course, there’s still plenty of electronica to go around. zircon’s trademark technique of combining organic, acoustic instruments with enormous beats and deep synths can be found in many of the tracks like the micro-dance tune “Cellular” and the BT-inspired “Photosynthesis”. Even the startup logo sound effects and menu music were included (all designed by zircon), with every track carefully edited, looped and mastered for your listening pleasure. So, if you’re a fan of video game music and arrangements, or even if you’re one to just linger on a stage for a few more seconds to hear the BGM loop, this is your jam. FITTEST, a head-to-head and co-operative arena space shooter produced by Blue Door Productions and Rebel Dwarf, is slated for release on Xbox Live Arcade on the Community Games network in Q2 2009.

BardicKnowledge Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Is there a release date known for the game? Trailer doesn't have it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 HOT! Way better than any music I've ever done. Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 [*]VISIT Red Dwarf, producers of FITTEST! http://rebeldwarf.com my mom I think you mean. Edit: NO U. Sweet tunes, although the game itself looks pretty uninspired. But hey, as long it gets you the cashes. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordBreaker Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Interesting shrump. Not my cup of tea, but I'll see if I can check it out. Music sounds awesome, though. Track 14 on youtube melted my face off! Zircon/Sixto FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zircon Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks guys The game is actually pretty fun. It's (obviously) like Geometry Wars in setup, but you have varied weaponry and a wider variety of foes - namely, bosses. The bosses actually change depending on how many players you're with. For example, if you have two people, the boss requires a strategy that involves two people (and no, the strategy is not just "shoot at it a lot.") Plus there are some fun head to head modes. Anyway, it'll be worth checking out once it's released. Here's another YouTube freebie. When I said it was a varied soundtrack I wasn't kidding.

prophetik music Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 sounds cool, looking forward to it. man, a lot of community composers are getting involved on XBLA. anso, you, me...who else is out there doing this stuff too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxFrost Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 hopefully it plays a lot better then it looks. the gameplay looks stiff, and I hate SHMUPS where I loose track of my ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I'm really liking this soundtrack already, based on the previews. Considering I don't have a 360, I won't be picking up the game, but the soundtrack's a different story. KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'd buy it immediately if only it were available in a lossless format, i.e. FLAC or physical disc. Previews are sounding great, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmadonRK Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It feels like I just picked up Mass Media Constant yesterday. Oh well, everything on my list of music to buy gets shifted down a notch. X_X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconium Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Woah, this came out of nowhere. I have to reprise Armadon in thinking MMC just came out. Regardless, there was no hesitation in dropping the cash on this for me and I gotta say; this is completely and utterly awesome. You set the bar even higher with each new album you release, never ceasing to impress. I'm only up to Baroque Virus on the listenthrough as I keep repeating tracks, haha. I have to ask; you said Morsecode was done as a tribute to Joshua Morse. Photosynthesis, to me, has a very SGX sound - which is awesome. Were you going for that? Edit: ah, I see the writeup says that song was BT inspired. Failure to read things strikes again; I'm quite good at that. Never heard of that artist, though. I stand by the SGX comment though! It definitely sounds like his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Larry says it was inspired by BT. Then again SGX stands for SuperGreenX...and photosynthesis occurs when light is absorbed by chlorophyll, which is green... WHO KNOWS \(O_o)/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Haha, well, sgx has actually drawn influence from BT also. He's a shared influence of both of ours, so it's no surprise that the style would be similar. Thanks for the comments all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 "Star Command" is straight out of like, fuckin' Gradius or something. Epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anosou Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 THREAD NECROMANCER IS HERE. Fittest (the game) just dropped from 400MS to 240MS. People who were on the edge about picking it up should go for it now. http://xboxindies.com/game/fittest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
