We would need to know more about the types of area's will be in the academy for that. I have been away on vacation, and so making music will be slow, sorry. Depending on what all eventually will be in the academy, the harpsichord song could work for a specific area as mentioned before. Well, before ...

My last, final exam is in 1.5 hours. This weekend, I'll post revisions to those 2 sketches, and make a third.

It has a final fantasy feel to it, imo, very nice. It's only a theme right now, if you expand and develop it, it could turn into a really nice piece. Right now the "theme" repeats too much.

I entirely agree that it is not suitable for a place where you will hear the music a lot. It seems hard to make an upbeat piece that is! But I will continue furthering those 2 sketches, and writing new ones. The first sketch up there, if it were a bit longer, would work better looping many times, bu...

http://alokinnollahwe.com/saturn/gamemusic/TMW/sketches/harpsichord1.2.mp3 Second version. The first minute no longer feels /as/ repetitive as before. If I use a better harpsichord sample, make strings double the slower harmonies, and have a less percussive instrument play the melody, turning the vo...

I can make a more upbeat part, and will continue that piece. In the meanwhile, here is a more "cheery" academy-type song: http://alokinnollahwe.com/saturn/gamemusic/TMW/sketches/harpsichord1.1.mp3 I think it has the right feel for an academy piece, but it is too short and repetitive right ...

If you have ideas or music you think would match one of the above needed scores, just post about it here:

We will discuss possible songs there - where they might fit, how they might change, constructive criticism, etc.

I agree/realized that as I was making it. What about dungeon music?

Here it is, in its first version:

it may be a bit too slow and minor for the academy, and it definitely is too short. I will make it twice as long, and fix it up. Let me know what you think!

I am working on an academy song, it has a real old-school flair, I'll post it here reallly soon (a day or so).

They aren't very amazing, but some sounds:

There is a nice hammer/chisel/anvil sound in there, imo, and a sword clash sound.

What kinds of SFX are needed? I can do weapons and enemies. (for environmental stuff, I was just thinking I'd include those in the music track).

I'm watching what's happening in the other topics to see how the area is shaping up. I can do some effects, what types of enemies are there as of yet?

Is anyone else around?

The idea is nice, but it goes on for too long with the same theme/feel, and is too fast. Maybe use less lines, make it slower (that will naturally expand the playtime as well), and keep it short. Try adding another section with maybe slow arco strings. MMOs should be very careful about non-ambient s...

So maybe we can use my forest song for the forest area mentioned above. I will be making many drafts for the other areas, and post them here for critique. Anyone else who would like to make music should do the same. As the area progresses, our songs might change, and we will get a better sense of th...
