Music Compo!

Posted by pounce4evur on Jan. 22, 2012, 9:08 p.m.

Sorry guys, there were more for a competition than there were for a collaboration, and it seems to be the easiest thing to do. I just thought I'd throw out some ground rules and see what you all think. Again, I don't think I'll be hosting this, so anyone serious about hosting/judging/participating in any way, SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEAS.

So, the rules would be:

1. You cannot use tracks from previous works. They may be used as inspiration, but it cannot be the same song. (Meaning don't change a note in each song and submit that for the contest)

2. As you enter yourself as a participant, make sure to let us know what your preferred genre will be. You can change this at any time until you are 2 weeks into the competition (This will be a 3-week long compo, because I know a new semester just started).

3. The song can be any file type, as long as judges can listen to it and you can prove that all of the songs are yours (or even that it is your remix on a song). It is going to be this way because you can't put mp3 files into this site's file manager.

(any better ideas on this one are welcome. if everyone has access to a certain site, then that will be where the songs will be submitted)

3. You can use any and all music that you make in this competition for your V4D entry as well. (Cyrus says so.)

The theme is: ADVENTURE!

classical renditions of mortal kombat music!

Kamira 12 years, 10 months ago

Theme? D: I already started.

Theme could be… Must be written in D major/b minor or other relative modes.

MMOnologueguy 12 years, 10 months ago

Make the theme something so broad that no matter what Kamira is making it already fits.

I like peas, I think I'll hold them. I think I like the idea of a music competition more than a game making competition. Music requires less effort to listen to than games require to play. I look forward to seeing (well, hearing) the results.

i will say a very tentative mmmmaybe

as i is not always good at coming up with musics quickleh

although…if I could use the same piece of music for a V4D game… :3

MMOnologueguy 12 years, 10 months ago

So how about those submission deadlines?

Astryl 12 years, 10 months ago

I'm in. Also: Chiptune. All the way.

Theme? I dunno.

pounce4evur 12 years, 10 months ago

Blackhole was first and I'm lazy, so Adventure it is!

Cyrus, I'm not taking them away. This doesn't even have a deadline yet :P

Iasper 12 years, 10 months ago

Sign me up. I'm in.

Genre: I have no idea actually, either 70's or classical, probably classical.

Alert Games 12 years, 10 months ago

I'll join. I can come up with music better than I can come up with game design ideas.
