I got....second....Bwahahaha what the hell?  It's all good, I'm tied for forth on the charts at 8bc somehow... these compos crack me up man. I'm laughing so hard right now, you guys have no idea.

In answer to 8 bit rex's question about keeping the tracks secret from others or not...hmmmm

I can see the upside to both approaches. On the one hand if we keep the tracks secret, it'll be an awesome surprise to hear them all together in the end. On the other hand, there is the possibility that allowing us to hear what's coming or what's already here could make the overall album a bit more cohesive. For example, going back into a few tracks and adding nods to works from other artists so that it feels more inner linked as an OST could really make this feel even more like all part of one game soundtrack. At the same time, I don't want to hamper anyone's individuality.

My thoughts on it? A *Secret* place where all the tracks are hosted and get updated could be available to all involved if they choose to look at it. However,it is not a requirement by any means to entering the compo. It could serve as a source of inspiration for tracks that generally have a similar theme in them. Like "Title theme" "Continue" theme, and  "Game over" theme for example. In many games those tracks and others seem to be variations of a central theme. Then again, just the fact that we have "Capcom/Konami" as our inspiration could make us sound similar enough .  Gaaaahhh! *Head Explodes*

You know?  Whatever the majority decides I am absolutely cool with, However I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in what others have contributed . I think for this (since we already have a familiar setting) it may not be as big of an issue, However, if we in the future made an original "RPG" "Side scroller" ect. albums  not based on any previous soundtracks...I think the idea of sharing our tracks with one another would certainly be something to consider so that each song could relate to the other a little bit in some way.

Also, sorry my post is so long but it was a very good question! Anyway, that's my thought. For this compo, not completely necessary..but in the future it could be, Yep...

Sent you a "Future" track with an odd time signature! Check your PM Box .

Komminsar wins this round I am pretty sure . He deserves it, that track rules.

What the hell kind of a theme is that? Ha ha ha, I love it. Not sure if I'll be able to enter only because I have been given the task of creating some tracks for a streets of rage fan game LOL. So that may or may not suck up all my time...

Ditto, that sounded awesome.

You can do it guys! The hard themes are the ones that push amazing things out of us all
