Didn't I see this art on Pixeljoint the other day?

Checking out the album now... good stuff!

Yay I like this stuff, let's be SoundCloud buds, instead of having all these bots that fake-like tracks in my feed.

I've been playing Sonic 2 and 3 and want to make some FM synth tunes. Here's a new thingy from the OST of the project I'm working on:

Thanks, I'd like that

I like the sound of that tune. I love FM synths

Speaking of FM synthesis, there was a really nice groovy sonic-esque track on ubiktune not so long ago:

Worth checkin' out! For inspiration
P.S. That whole album is pretty solid ( https://ubiktune.ban...fm-funk-nirvana )

Wow! Yeah that would fit right in with Lava Reef zone in Sonic 3. Great find.

Also sounds like it could be a lost track for Knuckles Chaotix.

Wow, I've actually listened to that album a few times and Bomb Boy's track is my favorite. I absolutely love it. Taiga and Lacustrine Beat Machine are very good also. I used to be in with that gang on IRC but... couldn't really keep up.

Being into FM synth stuff lately is an indirect result of another thing Ubiktune 'released'. It was a Sega Genesis style OST that's a homage to Sonic 3 that was for an incomplete game project. It made me want to replay up to Sonic 3, and that's what got me into the FM synth swing. Anyway, that album's Nexus Genesis and it's amazing: https://soundcloud.c...y-nexus-genesis

Thanks for the recommendation

I love how chipper and groovy this kind of music is. And also, quite some talented folks on Ubik

One minute into the battle, with your wingman's ship reduced to pieces of flying shrapnel, your co-pilot freaking out over the comms and your ship sustaining heavy damage, you begin to wonder whether you made a terrible mistake coming here so soon....

Hot damn! Love it - intense from the very first moments and keeps the insane tempo up till the end. It's like a stew of Prodigy with a pinch of In Flames served on a plate of Gradius.

Also hey Sai'ke, long time no see!

[Sai'ke]

Thanks man! Hopefully it'll suit the boss fight!

Yeah, it's been a while. Time flies eh?

Hope all has been well

Yep. Everything's pretty ok. I've been living in Germany for the past few years actually. Moving somewhere else soon though. Not entirely clear where yet

You?

With the protectorate fleet fully assembled, you decide to take the fight to your adversaries' doorstep. Your hands feel clammy on the ship's controls. Too many lives were lost already. It's either now or never. You will never get another opportunity like this.

You know the task ahead. Now all you need to do is do it!

Cool music! Also is that plot a nod to Ender’s Game?

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out.

The actual game story is probably a mixture of a lot of science fiction I have enjoyed. I think for the world building behind it I borrowed a lot of ideas from Ender's game, Hyperion, Neuromancer, Deus Ex and the Mass Effect series. Not that you'll notice much of that during playing

Dear Denizens of DigitalMZX,

this may or may not be of interest to you.

I've since been fiddling with a .WAV/.OGG based patent for Interactive Music Streaming at high quality (based on iMuSE^TM), called PAGANINI4^TM.
That is all I can tell you of my Patent (MZX Patent 0,000,009) that is a TRADE SECRET by license (sic!) from LucasArts of Nicasio, CA.

Sincerely yours,
Scarmiglione Malebolge

[Sai'ke]

What?

New one. You'll just have to imagine the "pew pew pew" noises on top for now

If you're interested in the backstory for this one:

Spoiler

In the game there will be a mission that you do for the Hyokudan, a fearless and evil species who subjugate and enslave any species that stand in their way. As player, you are trying to get them allied against a bigger foe (the game's main foe). At the end of that mission, you in principle have their aid in the bag, but you get the chance to attack their mother ship. Destroying the boss will free the enslaved creatures and rally them to your side (they are less strong than having the Hyokudan on your side though). Failing to destroy the boss (because you run out of time) loses both allies. Not destroying the boss and letting the mission terminate normally provides you with the Hyokudan and their slave army but leaves you pretty morally bankrupt.

After the game finishes, a lot of these conditions will resolve. If you left the Hyokudan leader alive, but insufficient other races to oppose them, they will take over the galaxy after you are gone. The final blurb you get after game completion will reflect this. You've saved life in the galaxy, but at a terrible cost.

At the end of the game, the player will fly into the core of the main enemy. Humanity is all but destroyed anyway, and he doesn't have much left to live for except vengeance. He will not make it out. He will eject his co-pilot against the co-pilot's will right before going in for the final sacrifice in what should be a dramatic scene. If the Hyokudan take over, you will also learn that your friend (co-pilot) was enslaved as well.

In the game, you will have a certain amount of time until planets start falling. This theme is for when things have taken a turn for the worse. Make your move soon, or there will not be much left to save.

This is awesome stuff, just perfect. Love the shop/map music.

I've been goofing around with homebrew music since 2000 or so. Some stuff written in Reality Adlib Tracker for MS-DOS, everything else written in OpenMPT for Windows.

Got a playlist of my "albums" and "EPs" on Youtube: https://www.youtube....ArUkuscwhQ9RMJd

I'm currently attempting to write a soundtrack for the MZX game I'm working on. I want to come up with themes for characters and environments that are memorable but not too in your face. Considering writing the whole thing in Reality Adlib Tracker. Been a while since I've been serious about using that program.

THE MEGAZEUX ANTHEM
Sung to an old Russian melody, Po dolinam i po vzgoriam
Lyrics by Scarmiglione delle Malebranche dal Malebolge, the MZXer

Ambrosine it is a circus,
And their premise it is wrong,
To expose it is my purpose,
Therefore I do sing my song.
TO EXPOSE IT IS MY PURPOSE,
THEREFORE I DO SING MY SONG.

Proud to be a MegaZeuxer
(Not a path for everyone),
I would rather stick to Zeuxing
And all other consoles shun.
I WOULD RATHER STICK TO ZEUXING
AND ALL OTHER CONSOLES SHUN.

I'm a happy MegaZeuxer
Where I make games day by day,
I would rather stick to Zeuxing
Than my passion give away.
I WOULD RATHER STICK TO ZEUXING
THAN MY PASSION GIVE AWAY.

Every single other console
Is to us a threat'ning foe,
Ambrosine the traitor offers
Quite a lot to whet our woe.
AMBROSINE THE TRAITOR OFFERS
QUITE A LOT TO WHET OUR WOE.

Hackers who did hack Sierra --
Those are folks you'd love to hate!
MegaZeux by far is better
Than a smutty Larry Eight!
MEGAZEUX BY FAR IS BETTER
THAN A SMUTTY LARRY EIGHT!

MegaZeux is too a Circus,
It's not what it used to be --
Although Zeux is still my purpose,
Yes I still love Zee-Zee-Tee!
ALTHOUGH ZEUX IS STILL MY PURPOSE,
YES I STILL LOVE ZEE-ZEE-TEE!


Hope you like it!
