Demoscene music remixes?

There are few games in that good ol' demoscene style, ya know... Bejeweled, Deus Ex, Jazz Jackrabbit... pick one of those and you're good to go. :)

As far as delivering remixes of game themes in that classic demoscene style, not to toot my own horn but that's one of my personal favorite things to do, paying a nod both to the original tracker, and the game, and the composer all at once. For instance: https://mazedude.bandcamp.com/album/game-remix-tracker-homage-remastered

Just my two cents. :)

tangent: all these FPS games with a late 90's retro aesthetic have been coming out for the last 5ish years.

i think the game devs of that kinda niche would be really smart in drawing from the talents of demoscene style musos (like maze). with real tracker files used in the game and such.

the unreal and deus ex music really was something. quite hifi and modern in a way, but still with a distinct tracker style signature.

technology just moved too fast back then, and now could be the time to bring that style back in games.

to mazedude: it'd be awesome if you found someone from that general 'retro' niche to work with. you probably wouldn't be the best for a standard deal like "something like unreal"...but some weird games were coming out back then. like "normality" (even though that's a kinda cheezy one).

i think your style would be great for a lot of 'alternate reality genre benders' type games that could come out in the next years. maybe something 3D with a lot of narrative/RPG/adventure elements or something. 

like, i think the perfect games for a christopher getman score haven't even been done yet :D

 

it'd be so cool if you did a bobby prince (as in: go pro late.)
