Yeah, if we do something like this again (which we probably will) we'll definitely handle things differently.

There's nothing wrong with tough love, but there's other ways to tell people that they weren't selected in a bit of a more positive light.

I'm amazed how some people can't take a little criticism. I just put myself in the "many tracks that sounded really cool but they just weren't what we wanted" category and felt good.

Apologies for the bluntness. Didn't mean to disrespect anyone, just wanted to be upfront about everything. But really when I said suitability I meant that. There were many tracks that sounded really cool but they just weren't what we wanted for our game's main menu. Also there were a few guys who basically said "here's my track, let me know if you want any changes or something completely different." So this is an invitation for them to try something different, if they want to. I figured it could only help us in getting the perfect track.

One guess as to what forum that was.

One guess as to why most of the remixes that come from that forum are just missing that "certain something" that would allow them to deserve the title of "over-clocked", or even just "really good".

I doubt anybody here would be offended by your tone.

I'm going to have to go check out some of K-wix's stuff, because I really didn't like most of what he did to some of my favorite Cave Story songs in the Cave Story Wii, +, and 3D ports. But he must have something going for him.

Sorry, I have nothing to contribute to this thread, but I look forward to seeing how this all turns out.

Word I got good at a lot of things because of honest, harsh criticism

We were foolish to challenge Danimal...

Hey guys, quick status update. First off, we’re setting a deadline: June 7th. And since many of you have requested feedback on your submissions, we’re just gonna answer all those requests with this: If your name isn’t K-wix or Danimal Cannon, then your track wasn’t what we’re looking for. These guys’ tracks are the only ones we’re considering right now---They’re a whole tier above the rest (not just in quality, but mainly suitability). So feel free to submit another track, but if you want us to give you specific, individual feedback then your first draft needs to be in the ballpark of these other two tracks.

Thanks!

Oh yeah, we don't have a concrete deadline yet. The game won't be released for another 1-2 months probably. Once it gets close, we'll post a deadline (unless we've already gotten a track that's just absolutely perfect that we definitely want).
