Pavos Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Staff:Pieter van Os (pu_freak) - DirectorAlexandre Mourey (Chernabogue) - Assistant Directortimaeus222 - Mastering and production feedback assistant With the release of the BadAss 3 album imminent, it's time for me to be moving on to something else. It has been suggested a few times during BA3 that an album of hero themes instead of boss themes would be an awesome idea for an album as well. It sounds like fun to direct such an album after BA3 is released, since it's something completely different in terms of artists and cohesive sound but still being able to maintain the course and process I set for BadAss 3. As such, this is (for now) a topic to gauge interest from the community. The general idea is as follows: - The album wil feature only hero themes - The album has two distinctive genres/moods: courageous (think Crono's theme) and fun (more alike Mario or the general feeling of the Missingno album). People should feel happy, refilled with energy and ready to take on the world after listening to this album. Be wary: that doesn't mean too soothing or calming songs - there has to be energy in the album - The album will most likely start in April or May 2016 and the final cut-off will be Q4 2017 (could be October, could be December). As with BA3: this is a definitive cut-off date since we do not specifically need any track mixed. The deadline for only accepting substantial (90% compllete arrangement) WIPs will be around April 2017. - I will work with personal deadlines like I did with BA3: everybody needs to send in an update once every two months. If you fail, you're out (yes, you can get back in if you send in soemthing good enough, but you won't appear on the tracklist untill then) That's about it for now. Thoughts, ideas, interest? timaeus222, Jorito, Chernabogue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnWake Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 What qualifies as a hero? Just the main protagonist or any "hero" character in a game with many playable character counts? I think BadAss was focused on main villains so I wonder how you plan on focusing this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any protagonist which has hero qualities (so Magus doesn't count for instance) and his or her own theme would count. BadAss was also focused on mini-bosses and sub-bosses (Gilgamesh and Slash, to name two) EDIT: We can always discuss cases which are in the 'grey area' jnWake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hipnotyk Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I would be interested in making a track for this. It's a great theme and I have a lot of ideas that I could spitball right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Rave Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I have a few title ideas for this album. We could be heroes We are the videogame heroes Heroic The Good Guys That's all I can think of for now. I'll let you know if I think of more. But in the end, it's still your decision on what to call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Poe Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm curious if a support character can be chosen. I was thinking of Elizabeth from Persona 3. She commonly helps the protagonist and has a playable scenario in Persona 4: Arena. I'm a big SMT/Persona and Kingdom Hearts fan so ...
