Super Nintune-Do Contest! 9/27 - 10/4 Winner

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Thu 28/09/2006 02:15:50

Situation:

The year is 1992 and the game development company WowCo is holding open auditions for the position of lead musician for their next megahit Super Nintendo game. Competition is high, though, so they demand something stunning and catchy that will keep gamers staring at the tv for hours.

Mission:

Create a sample action theme for an oriental stylized action platform game in the vein of Ninja Gaiden and Revenge of Shinobi.

Requirements:

1. Must be no shorter than 1:20 and loop seamlessly.

2. Needs a distinct oriental vibe easily recognizable to Western ears.

3. It is a concept piece and can therefore be of the maximum quality you can produce, using real instruments if available.

4. Must represent a strong male protagonist up against massive odds, a powerful tone that also emphasizes the player's danger while still remaining upbeat and hopeful.

Good luck.

Whoa... that was fast. Good theme idea, I'll start on it right away!

WowCo needs a musician!

I have been working on it.

EDIT: And have finished...

Spirit Wind

It didn't turn out quite as I had expected as I've never really written something like this before.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Almost done. Quick question though. Is that 1:20 before or after the loop option? And by 'option' I mean the part where it's obviously been looped.

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Tue 03/10/2006 22:21:15

1:20 then it starts over.

Edit: I'll keep this going until I get at least 2 entries.

I'm gonna finish it today, I am working on it right now. (Being home all morning helpsÃ,Â

)

I hope it works!

After careful consideration, WowCo has decided to hire Erenan for the wonderful, (though not quite as action-packed as desired) theme. As a concept piece, however, it's brilliant.

WowCo would like to thank SilverTrumpet for entering, but the piece did not seem to convey a sense of danger or action and lacked focus on a particular theme.

Thanks goes to both entrants!

Erenan · Thu 05/10/2006 22:25:31

Yay! *dance*

I'll start a new competition when I get home from work. I'll also listen to SilverTrumpet's entry, as I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

Congratulations on Erenan for becoming another Grand Slam winner!
