I finished the game a couple of days ago. This isn't a track that stood out to me too much, but it's grown on me, and I just had what I think is an inspired idea for this one: Wintergatan (ish. If you can't see what the machine is doing, it's just a xylophone w/the extra noises of marbles being moved around.) + glitch hop. Could be crazy; just might work. Anyway:

Listening to video game songs on YouTube, this popped up in my feed. Not sure what game "The Jetzons" is, but if this is the soundtrack, it sounds like something everybody and their dog would cover, but I can't seem to find anything on here. Where oh where could the remixes be? ? Anyway:

I finally got around to starting a playthrough of this amazing game a little over a week ago. Almost 50 hours of gameplay later, I finished the game with 99% completion (I think beating the Phalanx counts for 1%, and I could only get it down to half its health). The developer of the game has stated that he either won't be moving forward with the sequel at all, or not until after his next game (years from now), because of extremely low sales that saw him making less than minimum wage on it. I think it would be awesome if people heard a remix of a song from the game and went to check it out. Pretty much the entire soundtrack is worth remixing, but perhaps the most hate-lovable fight of the game has this song attached to it: Alternatively, this is the Phalanx: ...done by somebody who modded the game so they had the game's starting health going into the fight. I posted a recording of the actual fight instead of just the track, because good grief. Edit: It occurs to me that when I originally made this post, I was more in the mindset of trying to figure out if there were any good songs in the soundtrack that were a good fit for a guitarist, but almost all the best songs in the soundtrack are not, and they're better suited to OCR. So if you want to do arrangements of Cave of Mul, The White Towers, Daea, or literally any other song from this game, that's totally fine.

So, if I have this right...you want somebody to recreate an entire soundtrack for you in the style of those (usually crap) soundfont videos made by YouTube randos, you want every song nicely loop-able/swappable, and you want sheet music for each song. You also want somebody to parse the differences between two fundamentally different soundtracks and figure out some happy middle ground that you specifically are happy with. You also want all this done for peanuts, and you're posting about it in the wrong section of the forums. Without even knowing most of the work that would go into all that, I know it would probably take at least a day per song, *if* somebody with the right skills was passionate about making those songs exist. Let's be real here; you're not getting somebody like Virt to make your stuff, so your not going to get the full choirs of heaven dropped in your lap in the span of a couple hours (and if he did take your commission...hoo boy. I'd hate to see the bill for that, no matter how fast he did it). $170 a song seems to me like it'd be floating right around the average minimum wage in the US for the time it might take to give you what you want. Sounds like your friend was being very reasonable.

Just giving an update on my own request for anybody else who might've wanted a cover/arrangement of this song. I don't know if people posting on YouTube sometimes look through the digital paper shredder that is the OCR requests section (I feel like it's better to throw requests to the ether than not at all) for ideas, but GaMetal just posted an amazing metal cover for this song:

I think what you want has (more or less) been done already: https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03376 They just did the stupid thing where somebody knows about the song from Smash Bros, so they file it as a Smash Bros song instead of what it's supposed to be.

I just finished this awesome game, so I went remix hunting (as you do when a soundtrack is good). A lot of the best songs have at least one good remix already, but not this one:

This seems like something people here on OCR would latch onto and run with, just that probably not too many people have actually played the game.

I finished Cyber Shadow a few weeks back (wanted to put some space between this request and my Hiveswap one; feels a bit obnoxious to leave them back-to-back), and really liked the polished, classic Ninja Gaiden feel of it. All the tracks in the game are pretty short (though people here at OCR have done good work with far less), so I wasn't sure if this was worth asking for, but the Apparitor's theme quickly got stuck in my head. Apparitor 1: Apparitor 2: I also got the theme for the Meka Dragon boss stuck in my head, on account of that fight was total BS. If somebody wants to take a crack at that one (and somehow convey pain and suffering over what feels like hours), that could be good. Meka Dragon: Synthwave feels like the most natural genre these would fall into. But if you're feeling inspired, whatever works, works.

I don't know if it needs a remix; there are three versions of Ticket to Ride in the game. Also, it's pretty good as is. But I think it would be cool to see somebody go full Electroswing with this. Maybe some breakdowns/switch-ups into the Quadrant Confusion/Trial Variation versions of the song. Just some thoughts.

I've never been able to find any attempts to cover this song, but every once in a while when I was a kid playing the Gameboy port of it (called Adventure Island II...talk about confusing) I'd find myself trying to hum/beatbox this. I feel like there might be a middle ground for this: somewhere between something like Theophany's Woodfall Temple arrangement and some kind of silly tribal beatbox kind of thing. Or it could just go full silly tribal beatbox thing.

I made a couple of new levels, but I can't upload them yet without getting rid of some other ones. I did get rid of one to make room for this one though: Something Deeply Wrong: 9EBA-0000-006A-4B3F A friend of mine found two of the rare ( and mostly useless) 30th anniversary Mario amiibos and got me one, and after I saw what it does I HAD to run with it.

I think I blocked you WAY~ in the past for harassing me a bunch. Please at least *try* not to be rude the moment I pop my head out to say something. Anyway, I put a crazy amount of thought into each and every last level I made. You *should* be able to handle those levels. I said people could ask me for hints as a courtesy. That's easy enough to understand. Exactly this. And thank you.

I've made some levels. I need stars bad. Stinging in the Rain: 7783-0000-0037-D8B6 The Bounce Vault: 8BE4-0000-0038-F252 "It'll give you wings",they said: CAD0-0000-003A-33C0 Can't handle Bill say, "What?": 4E18-0000-0048-69B4 Pyromania Pizza Palace: 79E3-0000-003E-378E Pin the Tail on the Cheetah: 1706-0000-003F-F632 "Friendly" Mario vs the Sky Guys: 1C58-0000-0043-B19E Mario, Woodchipper Inspector: 1017-0000-0047-E992 Sink or Fly, Stop and Die: BD8C-0000-0048-E3E6 Ghosts of the Past: E923-0000-004B-4821 Most of the levels are expert-level, but not hard enough that you can't beat them with a little practice. You can message me for help.

Any backer of Sam Dillard's Chrono Cinematica album is getting access to a Crystalis medley. That's one option you can run with. I don't know if he's going to have the medley ready at the same time as the album, but if he is, then it'll be out next week on Thursday.
