Why is Science being brought up? I did go through all the trouble of selecting music for it. The World 5 level even had text that had a joke base on the music. Unless the music is better, there isn't point in replacing them.

I don't care as much about pseudoscience at this point though.

Original is more professional. And really, how many times has the "A Wild X Appeared!" joke been done by now? The number has to be at least in the triple digits if not the quadruple. It went way past being funny years ago and is now even past being groanworthy. It might not even be sighworthy anymore.

Thought I'd do something a little different for Mishi. It does work in context (at least I think so) so try it out first if you're doubtful. The final battle remix is going to take a little longer since it's very intricate and there's parts I would prefer not to do in software.

Final Boss
Give me a day or two and I should have the reprise done. Although if it's coming before the main theme it's really more of a preprise if that's a word. I see that you're nearly done with the beta testing and fixing so I'll try to be quick.

Again, take your time. I still don't know when the release will be, but I'll probably wait until Frozelar finishes the game, in case he sees something we need to fix.

Ok. There's actually problems with the version I just posted that have been pointed out to me by Wyatt so I'll re-upload it when they're corrected.

The upload I posted has been edited but I'm not sure if it'll be edited again. Also I was messing around with hyper-timestretching and found that slowing down the final boss theme I posted by 800% actually sounds really neat. It would fit Science's evil lair as an ambient type thing while still sounding kind of hopeful in parts. It's a bit of a cop-out to do the reprise like this but I think it works. Your opinion may differ.

Link

However, since it's a fairly big file (17 MB) I recommend that it be placed in the root folder and have SOW6, SOW7 & SOW8 call on it from there to reduce the episode size. That should also be done for the Science track if both Science and Pseudoscience are using it.

Yeah, that's the way the SOW cutscenes are set up. They're all using the same file in the SOW6 folder.

Now that I've rejoined the land of people with functioning audio interfaces, I've uploaded a new version of the Lullaby remix as I originally intended to do it: with the lead guitar played on my main hardware synth.

Download it here

If it is being used for Pseudoscience, then the old version can be replaced with this one. If it isn't then you can listen to it anyway and hopefully enjoy it.

I'm not sure if this is the kosher place to do this, but...
All the people here with musical talent, can I humbly request something for a rather crazy level end-part? You see, an

Ominous, boss remix style version of the yoshi island or yoshi story theme

would realy sell it. Again, if this is not request town, just throw me out, I don't mind! >w>;

This might be useful to any music guys like shemp:

Not sure how good this works, but I also stumbled across this MIDI converter for it: http://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/vie ... 9627#19627

I had a look at that. It's not completely accurate, and the interface is a bit cumbersome. If you're composing for a console where there's an existing dedicated alternative, such as Famitracker for NES, I'd say definitely use that instead, but if there isn't, Deflemask is worth a look. It's certainly better than using a soundfont.

For Genesis/Mega Drive, why not go the full hog and get GEMS, the actual program that nearly all Western devs made Genesis music on? You'll need DOSBox though. Be warned that nearly all the default instruments are shit, and that fact combined with lazy composers is what helped give the Genesis/Mega Drive the reputation of having terrible quality sound compared to the SNES. So make your own instruments.

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Which songs are and aren't covered by Content ID never remains static. I don't get why some rights owners block the video entirely rather than just taking the ad revenue though. Does it tell you which countries its blocked in? In any case, the Content ID system isn't perfect, and if raocow talks enough it might get fooled.

Shall we send raocow an updated version with different music for that section, so he doesn't have to worry about it?

Music is now changed. I'll give people a few days incase they see something that need updating before I release an update.

germany, apparently. that might be from a different song from the second batch of uploads, though...
that said, these days anything that gets picked up is still not monetizable so its an issue either way

In Sheathe Partakes in an Interlude the right torch that is obviously supposed to be there for the entrance into the cave portion of the level isn't there.

It is asymmetrical and it kind of bothers me.

There is the fact that Castle of the World is literally unstartable for some people due to the cannon launch not working at all, which no-one else besides me and the people affected by it seems to be particularly concerned by.

I recall someone suggested simply extending the bridge all the way to the left, which I agreed (and still agree) is the simplest fix.
