Personally, I think it's better to have darker colors than solid black lines. It's solid black lines that make your room seem more like a drawing and less like a room.
:D

I think the sky is blue because of something to do with light reflecting on the ocean and giving it a bluish color?..

Oh crap, hang on. Maybe that was the explanation for why the ocean was blue...

Um... Ignore me now.  :P

Don't take all this criticism too heavily.Ã, 
Hey man... Not at all.
That's probably the best critism I've had to date!

You are exactly right about the unevenness of notes and I did know it. Problem is, I don't know how else to do it or edit once I've played it.
Oh yeah, and a humane person does not tell me exactly what I've been looking for and then forbid me to ask him about it. AAAAAARG!
Somebody... Anybody... Pray tell me about Quanitizing! (God forbid I actually have to look it up myself)

I was making a humorous prison game at the time and I thought... What the hell? So yeah, maybe that does need a bit more thought...

I'm glad you guys liked it and really, thanks for the replies and the critisism - I appreciate it!
Comments and crits still welcome....

Right...
This tune is somewhere further back in the critic's lounge but nobody seems to have had a proper look at it. (It had other stuff too)

I'd like to have this critted though coz I must say, I'm pretty proud of it.
100 % original - Don't wanna hear that it sounds familiar... Enjoy!

:) Ambient (minor)

Heya! Flippy dude - that's really good!

What did you write that on? It sounds so good, and it works really well with the painting too. I really liked those quick notes in the background - so cool.

Good job man! I would write something for this but I get all the music I make off my electric piano, and the quality is never as good as that. Oh well... I'll see.

Cheers!

;)

EDIT: If I had to critisise one thing for this tune, I think it's be the ending. Possibly something as simple as a fade out could improve it drastically. (My 2 cents)

Heheheheh!Ã,  :D
Hi Mist! So you liked it then - Awesome!
Don't worry dude, me and Zor are still good friends (As far as I know  ::)). Even though we all know what an insufferable moron he is on the outside - I'm sure there's a... less insufferable moron on the inside!
Glad you like it! Cheeeeers!Ã,  ;D

BTW: Come on people, POST! Is this the best you can do? You know you like the music... Go on... Tell me so that I can feel special.

Flippy_D

Oh Flippy, you write poetry.
It sings like a bowl of Cornflakes.
It smells like a growing fig tree.
It looks like an overflowing mountain.
The poetry - it lives,
Like a bird,
And a tree,
And a river...
And a cat.
It lives.
It cries.
Fly Flippy, Fly!

:DÃ,  :DÃ,  :D

Cool guys, thanks for the crits.

Every single thing I post here apparently sounds familiar, but according to Goel that's a good thing soÃ,  ;D

I'm glad you like it! I actually think I might just use it for the background music as opposed to the theme (as a said earlier). I know it needs improvement, other instruments, MUCH better quality, etc. So I'll most definitely be working on those. I also really like the idea of a peak in the middle and then a calm down again. So, yeah! Thanks a lot!

And if anyone wants to tweak it a bit, you're more than welcome and I look forward to what you come up with.

Finally, I came up with this on my own, by myself and with my bare hands! As far as my conscious mind knows - this tune IS original!Ã,  ;)

Hey man... not a problem at all!

Your guitar version was cool. It's basically an improvised solo over the basic chords of my version right? Sounds interesting (Did you use two guitars?)
I'd like to keep my chord progression the same but the guitar sounds good, so I'll have to think about that. It's meant for the in-game, so it'll be really quiet in the background.

Thanks for the contribution dude!  ;D

Critics' Lounge / Theme song: Pre-School Peter

Right... Hi guys!

Well, I wrote this tune for the theme song of my game. The piece has a basic theme in it, then solo's and then goes back to the theme.
I realise that the quality is sketchy (I wrote it on my keyboard) and that there will be odd gaps in the music, but this is more to see if you guys like the melody or maybe have a better instrument in mind.

I tried to make the tune lively because the game is about a cheeky pre-school kid, just so you know.Ã,  ;)

Pre-School Peter

Go on... Listen... You know you want to!
Enjoy!Ã,  ;D
#195
Whoa, that was nice and fast!
Shotto man!  ;)
#196
I appreciate the reply... And your well spent time!Ã,  :D
But, how do you play .rar files?
(Excuse the ignorance)

EDIT: And also, 'Screw the French' is meant to be in-game music whereas 'French L'intro' was for the menu... Just clearing that up!  8)

Guys... Please...
We do want your opinions!!! Yes we do!!!
Please... observe...

Hi guys!

Well, I made this music:
Just so you know, this is a very rough version as Im sure you can hear!.
It was meant to be a prototype almost, to see if I should really work on it.
We were gonna use it for the menu of our game, not for the in-game play.
If you guys are keen to edit it, please do! I look forward to seeing it up here.
If it sounds good then we'll most probably put it in our game menu and I'd appreciate the help.

I've been working on another version for the in-game though! I personally think it's much better.
I'll link it here - have a listen...

Screw the French!

Thanks for the help in advance!!!

EDIT: No offence to the French - I meant, screw my previous 'French' songs. :)
