whats the game and web site

sonic robo blast 2, www.fuckinggoogleit.com

thanks for the game name you probably posted the name somewhere hence the poor sarcasm i just received ^_^

haha, nah I didn't, but I really didn't want to mention the game if I didn't have to.

your music rocks there a bunch of tossers if they turn your work away mate

Ah, well people. This is interesting stuff, though! What'd you use?

Modplug Tracker.

Not a bad program at all, that!

*gawks at the story* guuuuh, some people..

I think its pretty good, god i like the tune, I don´t know why wouldn´t this guy wanted to have a better result in his hands, that is the kind of ¨mine, mine, my own¨ jackassery I can´t stand.

That track sound nice. I like it. Remembers me to the old StH games. Keep it up!

Very nice.
it's upbeat, catchy and you can almost dance to it.
It's quite remenicent or chaotix, only less synthetic.

I really like this!

for a second after I read the story, I thought of jheryn.

ModPlug Tracker?

Which format? XM? IT?

Bidi-loops? How long? ;)

that should answer all your questions, I hope :3

That really catches the soul of these lovely old days with 8 and 16 Bit games... Not rare I wish there aren't GameCube, PS2 and XBox... Though MegaDrive (Genesis) couldn't offer many good games, the Sonic have all been genius! But Sonic 1 was better on MasterSystem!

I'd much rather be listening to this in SRB2 than the current midi duder.

Oh well his loss.

lol drama

Definately fav-worthy.

This person who believes General MIDI is superior is crazy, and a foo'. I pity him.

Shame it was turn down, it has a nice beat to it. Smooth and chill, something I wouldn't mind listening to over and over as it looped in the background.

Nice ^ ^ . i could really imagine this song in an old school sonic game .

Oooo! This is brilliant! The guy making that game is obviously one massive tool for not wanting this. < ^.^ >
That said, I personally would use module files for music in a the game I would like to make one day. Just personal preference, I think. Plus it could keep the download size down.
On that track, however... module file plz! :D Oh wait, you've already got the URL there. Darn it, Benzi, you're doing my job! < u.u >

This was far better than the tripe he used in the actual game. Make music for me! I give you $$$!

MIDI *would* be a supirior format if only PC soundcards allowed you to customize your soundbanks. It amazes me that even high-end cards, like my SoundBlaster X-Fi, force you to use SoundFonts (bundles of instruments), rather than let you customize individual instruments, like on keyboards.

Bah. Audio, and audio tools, have never been done very well on the PC.

the fact that you'd have to do it yourself makes it inferior for game production. MOD is an encapsulated format which the musician can customize himself, complete with macro's and HIGHLY superior looping support, no programmers involved.

MIDI was never meant for playback. It was designed as a communication protocol between synthesisers, electronic instruments and other such audio equipment. Therefore, it is inherently inferior for game music because it was designed for something almost, but not quite, entirely different. ;)

in all seriousness, this sounds better than even the current version's OGG music. seriously, this much better put together than the drivel that's actually in SRB2.

AJ Freda is a god damn failure fyi.

He thinks he is infallible, he wont listen to anyone except himself.

point out the fact that most enemies and items are smaller than sonic and he'll freak out on you and ban you from the chat. "I KNOW THE SCALE"

he also has bitched about massive servers being useless because they "cant play games"

Personally the whole game is made of fail. I know people who could prolly rewrite that entire game and finish it in 2 months. this guy has been working on the game for like, what? 6, 7 years now?

I'd take it with a grain of salt.

thank you sir. I appreciate your comment

I can't believe he didn't choose this music instead of his midis. But he even proved himself wrong as he now uses ogg music.

yuh, module based music is definitely smaller and truer to oldschool style :B

superior \o/

I remember playing that game waaaaay back
It probably was Robo Blast 1, cause I don't remember having to hunt for emeralds nor Knuckles looking like himself

Sonic Robo Blast sucks anyways, and the guy who made it is a dick. MIDI also really sucks to use in games. REALLY. 'cause it sounds different dependant on soundcard. @.@ It's a nightmare.

haha, I really didn't want to name names in all this crap... I learned that one of the nicest dudes who worked on that project is here on FA too under an alias. Every time this drama comes up I feel like apologizing to him profusely, cause I can never remember whether or not I somehow might've insulted him or not

Oops. >.> Well there are some really nice people involved in the fan gaming community... Some of them just end up working on bad teams, or with bad people. Even one of my friends did some work on that game a long time back (early 2000's I think) but AJ ran him off. xD

It was so long ago that I don't even remember all the details. The upshot of the whole thing is... MIDI? I mean come on, MIDI?!

yup I know, MIDI this and MIDI that. Apparently if the audio sucked, your soundfonts just weren't good enough. This is the most pro solution ????? hurrrrrrrrr

I used to think that way when all I could work with was cheap MIDI shit. MP3 and beyond was this mystical grey cloud of mystery! I went around preaching about getting this soundfont or that one, (usually the former and not the latter) but as soon as I found out I could do MP3s myself I dropped MIDI like it was a bad habbit. XD No one has to get any soundfonts this way, it always sounds good!
