ShadowFlame:
Well, it may be too early in the stages of development, but I would like to offer my services to help create music for this game, that is, if you already don't have music for it. If it's too early for thoughts of adding music to the game, then I'll shut up and help at a later time :P

Otherwise, any ideas for what types of music you would want for this game? You could possibly have a cool-feeling ambient type song for flying around in space for example. Or maybe if something kicks into overdrive and something exciting happens (confrontation with a major enemy, traveling at some insane speed) you could have something heavier/faster. Just ideas.....if it's one thing that I feel can make a game better, it is having some killer and fitting background music. I'm open to all sorts of suggestions!!

I can write music out in Guitar Pro 4, although that would come out to a Midi file. I could, however, take those Midi files and string them together with another program and create mp3's. These midi files are cool, but could be higher quality....any ideas on writing music with a program using higher quality sounds, or possibly finding other sounds to use in writing the music?

I'll keep brainstorming on stuff, and I am open to all suggestions and ideas.....I hope I can be of service!!

Dan: You're going to be at fredonia this coming year, so just make sure you visit the house a lot... as soon as i get a chance to go down to visit my cousin in NYC, i'm getting an old Mac recording computer. I already have a good amount of stuff for recording, so we can do a good amount of music that way. If we want to do generated stuff on the computer as well, i have some ideas on programs to try... but it's probably easier to talk about that in person. (don't have the equipment here in Baltimore to try out any of the programs)

I'll probably see you in a week or two.

Right now we don't have anything figured out for music. Reaka's cousin has shown an interest in doing some more techno-ish things for it, but he'd not registered on the forums yet, nor is he 'officially' part of the team... I would love you have you, and whatever skills you have, helping out. I have *somewhere* a copy of Acid Pro, if that helps this any :-p.

I need to think about (and get time to write about) the kind of music I'd like to have in here. Something I've always wanted (which could go into the game at any time) is a built in music player so instead of listening to the game music, you can change the playlist to something of your own... like play Backstreet Boys constantly....


.... No, never mind. That, and a few other bands won't be allowed to be played. No one should ever play our game, and listen to those bands.

:-p

Chii:
I think my biggest concern here is that it'll be cookie cutter music....no offense, but a lot of game music sounds the same to me. You guys should definitely try something different where this is concerned...  No talk about a generic feel...

Maybe have different music depending on the character you choose. Like music for the different classes or something.  I don' t know, maybe that would be too hard to do, but I think it'd be neat.

Another idea while I'm kind of brainstorming: having some sort of a way to post what your character is feeling so the music can change depending on their mood....then totally separate music if their in battle.

Don't be afraid to have singing either. That's another thing, most is all instrumental.... I think it'd be neat. If I were more confident in my singing I'd offer my services as a vocalist, but I'm not. But if someone else is confident in my singing feel free to volunteer me. Just let me know  :P

ShadowFlame:
Sounds like a bunch of awesome ideas to me!!

Chris: I already have Acid Music Studio 5  8) and yes, I have seen it where on other games you can just put in your own MP3's into the music directory for the game, and then you can always play your own music instead of listening to the music you get with the game (i.e. Battlefield Vietnam.....although I am still partial to a lot of the music on that game :P ).

Sounds great, it seems like if we wanted to get actual recordings of people playing instruments for the creation of the songs, I can write out each part in GP4, and that way each instrumentalist can study it (it writes it in both tablature and standard music notation). I'd offer my services in drumming and possibly backup vocals if we were to do that. Keep up the good ideas!!

Oh yeah, and I'll see a bunch of you in about a week or so 8)
