Chiwalker Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 This sounds like a great challenge and I foresee myself having time for this. Please consider me for team Robots, although I'd be happy with either team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 3 hours ago, Xarnax42 said: The teams do matter a bit, of course, if you have one source that you'd like to try multiple approaches with. If you're Team Robots, for example, you'll get your one Mega Man source three times, and three Shovel Knight sources one time each. Right, so if you're more a Shovel Knight fan (in general) than a Mega Man GB fan (in general), then your best bet might be to find one Mega Man source you really like, since you'll just be using that one, but several Shovel Knight sources which you don't get to choose at all.

It's not entirely clear from the original post whether we get to choose which source we're using, but I think the point still stands. Even if we're given one source to use per person throughout the competition (although I think it's that each team is given 3 sources each and then we choose one each within our team?), then you're right that you end up mixing more music from the opposing game. With that in mind, I'd like to sign up for Team Robots, as I prefer the Shovel Knight sound track over the various Mega Man soundtracks. If I've misunderstood the remixing criteria and song choice selection, I'd probably rather be on Team Knights instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team members will decide how to assign sources themselves. You're given a selection of sources, and you work it out with your teammates which one goes to who. Quote Any member of the squad can be the primary artist. The primary artist is not required to use their own personal source; they can use any of their squad's 3 sources. And here, sounds like in the boss-battle rounds, you can pick amongst the three sources your three-person squad has picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starphoenix Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'd love the participate in this tournament. Been trying to learn FL Studio and music arrangement, and this would be a fun way to do that. Unlike my last attempt years ago I have time to devote to my remixes... Since I've never played Shovel Knight (should probably change that), sign me up for Team Robots. Tex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but a selection/pool of exactly 3 sources that you then just assign to each team member, or a pool of about 20 sources, so you actually get some choice in the matter? I feel like if it's the prior, at least one member of the team will just have to 'settle'. All 3 members of the team might really want to be doing sources another team's been given, and hates all 3 of the ones they've been given. I'm just wondering how much variety and choice we really get. If people have specific sources foist upon them, I feel like it would be an unfair system, because some teams will end up with a higher level of motivation than others purely because of the sources they've been given.

WillRock Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 hmm... I actually think i'm going to have to pass, in hindsight. Love the idea of the compo but I don't realistically have time to do it. Sorry to confuse things darke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverClocked PodCast Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I won't be making any Mega Knight / Shovel Man tunes, but I'm really looking forward to hearing how this plays out! Choosing the Game Boy Mega Man soundtracks was real smart. Nobody's going to argue that the NES versions are anything but amazing, but they've been revisited... what, 200 times on OCR alone? Exploring new territory sounds fun. - Stephen timaeus222 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are nine people on each team. Each team will be given about 11-12 sources they can choose from and assign to their nine members.

jnWake Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I love these competitions and Shovel Knight + Mega Man is damn good but, "sadly", I'll be on vacation for most of the duration of competition. Oh well, hope it turns out great though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxsnowy Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'm going to have to step out of this compo, I got a new job and wont have any time. Sorry I do look forward to hearing everyone's remixes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 As much as I love the compo concept, the timing isn't the best for me right now (vacation, job issues and other deadlines demanding my time until end of October) so I'm afraid I have to drop out. Sorry for the late notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starphoenix Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hopefully we'll still have enough people to start up soon. Looking to still give this a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirdkoopa Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm game. I heard compo's are like, the best way to improve thanks to you lovely people at the PAX West panel, so I'll give it a shot. DarkeSword 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yami Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Finally the Mega Man GB games will get some love. I'm a sucker for them (the Needle Man theme from II got me into remixing in the first place and V just rocks in general), so I would love to take part in this compo (preferably on the Robots team) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaDrive Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Hey! Never done one of these before but I'd like to sign up! Gonna be busier in November but I should be able to put the time in, and could definitely use the learning experience! I'm cool with either team!

Starphoenix Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 In spirit of the competition I decided to download Shovel Knight. Pretty good game so far. Liking Specter Knight's theme a lot. Not going to jump off the Team Robot bandwagon, but I am excited to play around with the themes once we get going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
