Ristar Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 it's worth getting to grips with it, and trust me I know how hard it can be. first time I ever tried a tracker was when I used FL Studio as my main audio program, about 5-6 years ago. It's worth trying something like openMPT out just to get to grips with the interface. anyway! looking forward to seeing some more stuff! I'm gonna have another go at some more test tracks tonight.

P3DR0 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Now you can't say that I've never helped with anything on this forum... This is a 2D/sprited version of my fangame's monitor. I've edited it a lil bit to fit better into classic's style. Original monitor: The monitor works better with a light on the sides... You can create the lights on Photoshop easily. :3 Deppending on the monitor, the 'gems' on the sides change their color, like Sonic's 1UP monitor = Blue gems, shield = soft blue, etc...

BlazefireLP Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Seems a tad pillow shaded but otherwise I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 So I'm willing to complete one of GNA's tilesheets in a similar fashion to what was done with his Palmtree Parkway sheet. But I need the current art for one of the other levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aikocho Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 wowww that's absolutely amazing. totally didn't expect that. but I think you're definitely onto something there, I mean that tune is amazing anyway, but maybe I could do the Act 1 stuff, then others can remix or we can interchange.that's still amazing! also! here's a little bonus to show off what VGM Music Maker can do: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34309799/soniczero.bin load that into a Genesis emulator and you can listen to a couple of songs I've done in VGMMM, including the Techzone one About this, I'm still not quite sure. it's not that I don't like the songs you make, but I don't know how to use a VGM tracker. I've tried myself. It's just complicated right now. But also, I wonder if you can allso make these in ogg format, or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ristar Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Yeah making them OGG is no problem as VGMMM exports as WAV. I'm not wanting to force VGMMM on anyone, though I have some ideas about audio direction, such as each song using the same drum samples similar to the genesis sonic games. I find VGMMM to be fantastic as I have just over a year's experience of tracking (which shows it isn't that hard ), plus I love creating proper YM2612 instruments. I've used the Ultimate Megadrive Soundfont and wasn't too keen on its sound and just prefer dialing instruments in from scratch. Would anyone be happy if I made some kind of video tutorial on how to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strife Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 That tutorial is great! =D In the past, I didn't quite get how we were supposed to make instruments, but the video makes it pretty clear. Also, I understand your explanation of the algorithms, so no worries. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ristar Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 If there's one thing I could suggest it would be to not use alliterative zone titles. It's pretty restrictive in that it limits the the quality of the zone description and can sometimes sound kind of silly. Plus it ends up just being a formula of "[Adjective] [Noun]", like Horrible Hill or Grassy Green. When you remove that formula I feel you can come up with better titles. I also hate alliteration, you can thank GCSE English for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazefireLP Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I have heard some hilarious alliterative's though. Such as "Destructive Dickery" "Generic Garden" lol. I also am not a huge fan of alliteration for the same reason "GCSE English. Especially since I did it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameNerd Advance Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Wow, I know I havent been on MSN in a while but I wasn't aware Zero had been turned into a community project :V That said, it's probably for the best for the project, as real life has been getting in the way of things. I'll still try contributing as much as I can though~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
