Geoff:
I see what you mean, when you say that a degree of dissonance is inherent to any culture. Infact, I think that different nations are used to different things which are used in their folklore. For example, we bulgarians are used to quirky tmie signatures like 7/8,15/16 and some more.
I am not quite sure how I'd do a song that'd introduce pure chromaticism, I used it here more like a variation of the diatonic melody.
ManicMatt:
Where "there"? There's quite a lot of pitch bending in that tune, do you mean you dislike it all? Or maybe just a specific one?
The tune'd sound a lot more orthodox without the glissandi, it would be easier to get into, I suppose, and it would not be the same tune.

Torgo from Manos - Hands of Fate is supposed to be a satyr. You should all see this movie and take special notice of Torgo's gait.

I have this theory(which could be wrong, and which I tried to apply) that the ear of the listener can gradually get used to dissonance. So if the tune gradually becomes more and more dissonant, that'd work. Or maybe you mean that if the tune'd started with something non-diatonic and it became more dissonant from there, that would work better?

Hey there, I experimented a bit with dissonance and chromatics, and here is the result. What do you think?

Hotel California. Period.

Congratulations on completing another Ben Jordan game, Grundislav.
I just finished it, and I think it maintains the high level of the previous games.Looking forward to the next cases!

I am all for the official hint tread idea, m0ds. I want to read what people think about the game itself when I open a completed games thread, not read where they're stuck.

Amazing, Geoff!
And it made me laugh out loud too!

Here's my entry:
Hide and Seek

Lyrics and vocals by me.

That looks amazing!
However, I have two concerns:
1. Why not original music? Of course, Vangelis is magnifficent, but I still think that in each and every game original music is better.
2. What kind of ruined Stargate adventure was the poor English(no offence meant)... I hope you'll get a dialogue adviser this time.
Good luck with the project!

That's what basically this site is about. I've been looking for something like that for quite a while, and Im glad I finally found it. I hope you fing this useful.
#233
Surely you won't forget the splendid Gold Rush!
#234
Haha, that looks funny.

However, do you plan to make another adventure game? "Enclosure" was so awesome!

Wow, that came out of nowhere!
So long Rui, and I hope you succeed in whatever you wish. I also hope that you would come back some day!

Uhm yeah, apparently you need the full version of winamp to play them. ¬_¬
#237
Yes, but that was put like, 5-6 awards before the actual ceremony. So if I had went out that afternoon/evening , I'd have most probably missed them.
#238
Hmmm... Try reinstalling winamp, Eric. it doesnt need a plugin to play oggs(just tick the correct box during installation). And let us know what you think of the record once you've heard it.
#239
Tell you what, had I not been on IRC all the time, I wouldn't have known that the awards took place at that very time. Yes, I dont often check threads that are already 4-5 pages long. :P
#240
Try harder, Elliott! There's always next year!

Anyway, I say it should have been advertised better, like, a large countdown with red numbers at the top of the main page and forums a week before the ceremony took place. And the fact that some people said they didn't know that the awards were held at that very evening proves my point.
