The Mana World Forums

I would like to take a part in the whole TMW project. I'm a musican.

I can help you to improve the music scene of TMW, but tell me what software you use?

I see, that all sounds are placed in .ogg files, well that's not the problem cuz I use Acid PRO so I can export some Chocolate Cupcake out of it.

If you're interested join #tmwart @ irc.freenode.net and get in contact with Rotonen.

I see what I can do

Yay, more composers. I hope this one lasts over 2 days..

Can i suggest getting with the times with our music? The classical stuff is really outdated and doesn't cut it anymore. Let's get something with guitar or something. Newer games like Halo 2 and Perfect Dark Zero are doing it, why can't we?

Right! Also, let's switch to 3D, add some guns, and make the whole project into another FPS!
Okay, even though your examples sucked, a little variety in music couldn't hurt.

I don't know if its planed but I could probably help with something like an in game music player window.

I haven't played those games but if they are like Devil May Cry it sucks big time.

Sorry but I have to disagree. Classical and platformer style music is outdated. I'm not saying the music from DMC is gonna make it to TMW (I hope not) but modern and technical music would fit the game.

Sorry, I never understood the adjective of "outdated" applied to music; to me either it's good or it's bad . I don't have anything against adding a new taste ("technical" as you call it), the problem with the music in DMC is that it was repetitive, badly written and unimaginative.

we need heavy metal rock music

I personally love the classical, Renaissance-like music. And take note people this is an rpg. It's not high-tech cities and space shuttles, so having it too modern would be a little...odd? Guitar and something else wouldn't hurt, but it's best we stick mainly to classical. And no Knivey, heavy metal rock music would be too much. lol. But I'm just a classical junkie....so who knows? lol. As long as there is a violin I'm happy!

P.S.: I agree with Pajarico. Music is more of 'bad' or 'good'. Not necessarily 'outdated'. I personally think to say 'outdated' would be saying, 'not what everyone else is listening to'. And to suggest that....would to suggest that the TMW team should become followers and start playing overly-modern music. WEE~

Now that would be terrible...

I like to think that I am open minded and am willing to try many things. Having rock music may work IMO, but it just needs to be done right. When I step back and think of TMW, it brings me back to SoM, which intern makes classical type music seem more apropriate for the underlying tone of the game, but maybe boss battles could be rock music, or PvP might go into rock type music...
