Gift of Aldora (RPG) - UPDATED 12/02/06

[Kinoko]

Okay, I have a favour to ask of the musically talented out there.

I'm doing my game's music but the theme song was going to be composed by a good friend of mine because I can't manage orchestral things. Long story short, he can't do it and I need it by the end of the month. So, I'm forced to "let him go" (in a nice way) and hope that somebody here has an interest in composing a piece for me.

I've already made the melody and I know what I'm after so there isn't too much creative license here, I'm afraid. There's still a lot of room to put your own stamp on the music and make it how you think sounds best, but yeah... I just don't want any deviation from the tune I created because I have my little heart set on it.

The tune is here: http://kinoko.futariba.com/misc/gametheme.mp3

Basically, I need this to be somewhat epic, orchestral, and angelic. Think of classic angels, and please use trumpets/horns/that sort of thing.

I don't need this to be lengthened, (though a few seconds on the beginning or whatever won't kill me) and I want to keep roughly the same tempo. This music is times fairly well to match where it plays in the game so I can't have much deviation, if any.

Of course, you'll get ample credit in the game and my eternal gratitude. I can pay you a little if you'd like, but not much because I was originally getting this for free so I haven't budgetted for it. It's very important to realise I'm EXTREMELY fussy so even though it may well be the most beautiful piece of music ever, if it's not what I want, I won't use it. I want it to sound nice, but not TOO nice because it needs to fit in somewhat with the style of music I'm already using (see the first post in this thread for examples).

The deadline is the 30th at the latest, so Im afraid you'd have to work fast too.

If anyone's up for the challenge, please PM me ^_^ THANKYOU!

this looks promising love your style.

[Redwall]

Kinoko, are you aware this has a Wikipedia entry?

[Kinoko]

Ehehe, yeah *^^* I made it!

[Mordalles]

  i also found that wiki entry earlier.

Gift of Aldora is a freeware role playing game created by Rebecca "Kinoko" Clements under the group name, Mushroom Republic. It is about a young man named Kin who travels the land in order to save the Master of Fate and stop the world from fading to nothing. This game is in the style of commercial Super Nintendo games such as Secret of Mana and Terranigma.

hey it sais "created" (implies finished)Ã,  have u been holding out on us?

[EldKatt]

It probably won't stay for long, though, since it goes against Wikipedia guidelines on notability and vanity pages. Although you could, with some positive thinking, see it as a borderline case, articles like this tend not to survive once nominated for deletion.

[Kinoko]

Probably not but lets hope it doesn't get nominated before I finish! Also, how are they gonna know I'm the creator of the game?

[Redwall]

The fact that the user who made the article is named Kinoko might give them a clue.

[Kinoko]

Oh, true.

Well, if they take it down, I'll just get someone else to stick it back up there ^_^/

**genius**

[EldKatt]

Vanity information is considered to be any information that was placed in any Wikipedia article that might create an apparent conflict of interest, meaning any material that presents the appearance of being intended to in any way promote the personal notoriety of the author, or one of the close family members or associates of the author.

While an article about a little-known company, say, should not automatically be taken as a vanity article, it is preferable for the initial author not to be an owner or employee of or an investor in the company; likewise, an article about a little-known musician or band should preferably not be by the musician, a member, or a manager, roadie, groupie, etc.

So the important thing isn't really whether or not the author of the article is the creator if the game. It can be a vanity article even if you get someone to write it for you, and, more importantly, its notability is what will determine whether it's actually deleted. Conversely, if the creator of a notable game creates an article on his own game, it will not be deleted.

Wikipedia is not the proper place to promote your game. It is an encyclopedia.

[Kinoko]

Don't worry. If the world grinds to a halt, the karma police will have my arse ^_-

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

I never visited the Wikipedia, but I guess it's one of the few places where your RPG can be listed. If I may do a suggestion, it's try to focus on the game before you think of real promotion.

Thus far the game looks nice. Have you got any idea when a demo will pop-up, Kinoko?

[Kinoko]

As soon as I get my scripting problems worked out, I'm set.

Know idea how long it's gonna take :/

[Redwall]

Know idea

Proofreading problems, too, I guess?

[Gord10]

I know this will sound quite offtopic, but...
Kinoko, have you ever thought using the musics of Chrono Trigger?
http://www.rpgdreamer.com/ffc/ct/ctmusic.html
It really has very good musics, and I was just thinking Gift of Aldora while I was listening to them. I think they would fit very well into your game.

[Kinoko]

Absolutely not, thogh thank you ^_^ I want absolutely nothing ripped in my game. I want it to be all my own work as much as possible.

[ManicMatt]

Did anyone contact you about the music then?

[scourge]

blime, i just realized you could press X in your game and talk to people and also enter indoors. lol. Brilliant i say, brilliant. I thought there was something missing since its a RPG

[Kinoko]

Manic: Yep A few people did and I really appreciate their efforts - they all came out great, but modgeulator's was just too good to pass up.

[fovmester]

blime, i just realized you could press X in your game and talk to people and also enter indoors. lol. Brilliant i say, brilliant. I thought there was something missing since its a RPG

So what did you think was missing? The ability to press X? Or the ability to talk to people and go indoors?
