pixietricks selected for Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword

[Raenok]

Since Blizzard doesn't make games anymore, that would be a severe waste of talent.

Not really. They're making expansions as of this moment, and have just finished releasing The Burning Crusade. However, they plan on a BlizzCon 2007, and thanks to rumors of new projects...one may never know.

Warcaft 4?

Starcraft 2?

Perhaps...even a new game entirely?

*generic congratulatory comment*

but seriously, Way to go, Pixie. You've done fabulous work for us here on OCR. I know you'll be great in a bigger arena. Full support. Kudos.

[Jillian Aversa]

Kizyr: still haven't received the music, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question for certain, but I'm guessing it will be an entirely new theme.

[Airwalker]

I haven't yet purchased an expansion pack for that game--in fact, I'm not a big expansion pack guy. But, I may be obliged to purchase this one.

[Jillian Aversa]

Hey guys, just to follow up... The recording was today, and it went really well! The menu theme is really epic and war-like. Can't say much more than that, since I'm sure the music is to be kept a surprise. It was a great experience, working with Michael Curran and Mark Cromer... They're really cool guys.

Congradulations!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Awesome.

When does the game come out?

[Jillian Aversa]

Awesome.

When does the game come out?

Sometime this July!

I'm coming so late into this thread. Congrats, Jill! This will be an awesome addition to your resume.

Well, given that, the opening theme's certain to great! Only 1-2 months left 'til the release.

By the way, if anyone's curious, they have the box art for Civ IV BTS on the official site (http://www.civilization.com/ -- are those warmechs?). The box art definitely also contributes to that 'epic and war-like' feel.

I think at this point I don't want to know too much more about it; rather keep it a surprise. KF

[Jillian Aversa]

Well, new surprise... Michael Curran asked me to sing something, solo, in a Celtic style as well!

[zircon]

[Liontamer] Dope; aight;

Haha, awesome!

[Kizyr]

Awesome.

When does the game come out?

A bit of an update... According to CivFanatics (www.civfanatics.com), GameSpot and EBGames have listed July 2nd as the date, and Amazon lists it as July 10th. Knowing GameSpot/EB's tendency to jump the gun sometimes, I'd wager it'll be closer to July 10th.

Also it seems that the box art for Civ4:BTS was taken off the main civilization site, and it's replaced with the generic red box. 2k games' site has a shot of a section of the cover, though, warmechs and all: http://www.2kgames.com/index.php?p=games&title=civbts

Well, new surprise... Michael Curran asked me to sing something, solo, in a Celtic style as well!

You mean something else for Civ4:BTS? Or, are we talking something entirely different?

Civ4:BTS will include Queen Boudica of the Celts... so if it's for Civ4 it could be related... KF

First off bump to the top

Second: If you people want to listen to the marvelous voice that will be gracing your PC speakers soon look up the chrono trigger project torrent on this sight. The song is called: To Far Away Times.

Pixie upon hearing this i have made plans to upgrade my graphics card and ram and sound card to make sure i can handle civ4 and its expansions I am in utter awe right now. We are in for a treat.

Or they could just go here.

[Jillian Aversa]

Second recording (for the solo thing) is this Thursday!

[Neo Samus]

Awesome!! I hope everything goes well. You have an amazing voice. You could kick the crap out of those American Idol idiots any day....except maybe Melinda. LOL

[Darangen]

So I don't pay attention for one month and this just happens to happen.

Totally awesome Jill. Very impressive, yet not so shocking

[cloudkitt]

My friend's dad is the chief artist at Firaxis (makers of Civ) I go to work with him now and then, I'll have to see if he knows about you!

[DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff]

I just want to say that Jill's awesome and that my only qualm is that she doesn't make enough ReMixes. Damn you!

[Hyperion5182]

I bought civ 4. Glad i did. music is pretty damned awesome. Cant wait for the expansion!

[Kadosho]

Congrats Jill! =D This is gonna be great to hear your voice on many game soundtracks for years to come.

[Zombie]

Wow, I totally didn't notice this thread up here... and it's been here for over a month...

Anyways, congratulations.

[Ranael]

Congratulations Pixietricks!!! That is so awesome, I can't wait to get the cd so I can listen to the track you are working on! When will it be available?
