Charlie Foxtrot- Release Party @ 3pm Eastern, July 17, 2007!

[Baron]

Alright, PMs should have been sent to all the Beta Testers.  Have fun -I mean, work hard!
Something I forgot in the form letter: if you could send me your thoughts on possible copyright violations, that'd be awesome.  I put my own twist on everything, but I'm not sure if it's enough of a twist in some cases.

Thanks again,

BaRoN

Well, from my point of view, this is a parody - so as long as you label it as parody, you don't violate copyright.

I love the graphics! I love the colours! Nice work!

[CosmoQueen]

Looks like fun! If ya still need a beta-tester than I'm game

[Baron]

Well now......*Baron puts hands in pockets, stares sheepishly at the ground and kicks up some dust

I'll come right out and say it: I've encountered a bit of a snag in publishing this game, and that snag is music.  Originally I thought I would be able to do it myself but the task proved, over the course of a month of trying, well beyond my abilities.  So I contracted a musician friend of mine to do it, but after yet another month of NDP (No Discernible Progress) I've had to cancel our arrangement.  Which means I'm essentially where I was at the end of April, which is immensely frustrating given this game's advanced state of completion.

So, I'm now in the market for the services of a musician.  Interested parties should PM me for specifics and with a link to a piece of their work (doesn't have to be anything special) if they are interested.  In general I'm looking for pretty cheesy sci-fi retro stuff (like early space quests or even Commodore 64 style) -for that reason MIDI is probably the preferable medium, but if you've got a compatible/complementary artistic vision I'm flexible.  The only thing I absolutely must insist upon is some spoof music that is at least vaguely reminiscent of the Star Wars Cantina theme for my bar scene and a short Elvis spoof.  Other than that the requirements are open to interpretation but will include:

-30 sec -1 min loops for 7 distinct zones (a space station, a small-town, the desert wilderness, a post-apocalyptic jungle, the primordial plains, a secret base and the final epic finale).

-A one off theme that doesn't have to loop for the introduction sequence and the credits afterward, but should be around 30 seconds long with a 30 second fill-up-the-time extension for the end.

-A five second "impending death" suspense build up.

-If you're into doing sounds too that's a huge bonus.

I will accept inquiries and submissions until Thursday June 21 @ Midnight GMT .  Then I'll make a decision.  Thanks in advance to any interest shown,

BaRoN

That really sucks about the musician Baron! If i could write anything other than guitar you know i'd help!

I'm current looking for a music at the moment aswell, it's really frustrating not being able to do it yourself.

best of luck mate!

Besides his own sizable NecroQuest project, Yarooze has generously volunteered his time and talents to compose some of the music for this game!

**Crowd cheers wildly for Yarooze!

What is more is that, after a lot of failure and dead-ends, I'm finally producing MIDIs that don't sound like bottled horse farts!  So there are now two musicians collaborating on this project.

A sample of the game's music can be listened to at the following links:

Desert Wilderness, by Baron 
Clone Lord Walz, by Yarooze
Desert Town, by Baron   
Cantina Adaptation, by Baron 
Crazy War Vet's house, by Baron 
Junkshop, by Baron

We've been at this for just over a week now, and we are roughly half way through!

EDIT JULY 5 - Jungle Rhythm, by Yarooze

[Buckethead]

Glad that you've managed to get some music done. This game is one I'm really looking forward. And this process must mean the release is comming closer
