Heretic86 25 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 What I'm looking for in this thread is to share with community music that we can legally use in our games that is of the absolute best quality. And hopefully to give up and coming artists some recognition. So I'll start with a link to this bit: (seems like it might be good for an intro or boss battle) I know the original music is copyrighted, but as this is an original remix, I dont believe the copyright applies, but I'm not one hundred percent sure. As a result, if this particular piece is copyrighted and can not be used in RM Games, I'll remove the link. I felt this is worth sharing as this particular piece doesnt appear to have as many views compared to its quality, and his whole youtube channel is worth the time to check out. S.S.H just reeks of talent and musical genius. --- I am really looking forward to seeing links to music you guys come up with that we can use in our games!

dolarmak 23 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 This is a great idea Heretic. The original song you posted is Copyrighted, but the remix isn't. I would still ask the author for permission since it's kinda a douche move to use it without their knowledge, and often the authors would love to play a game with their music they made. A great place for this kinda thing is www.OCRemix.org . Most of the musicians there are willing to let you use their stuff in games. Some of my favorites remixes are from Megaman 3, Final Fanasty VI and Donkey Kong Country. I'd also suggest www.Newgrounds.com their audio section is filled with tons of great artists actually wanting you to use their stuff in games! I've found many great artist on NG and would Pimp you a few now lol Ryan Stunkel - http://stunkel.newgrounds.com/ MetalJonus - http://metaljonus.newgrounds.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heretic86 25 Report post Posted April 6, 2013 I agree that asking permission from the current artist is also the way to go. One idea that I've been toying with is something for Intro Credits (as in script). Something like showing text during gameplay that says something like "Music By: (new line) so and so". Not like rolling end movie credits when the game first starts up, but something like the way TV shows do it and acknowledge certain people, producers, directed by, and we can have Graphics By, throw a couple names in, Music By, etc. This way, it isnt just acknowledgement to the artist that we want to use and publish their music, but so they also get recognition from the people that play the games as well. Since Remixes might be useful, another incredible artist I think is worth note is Vomitron, also on YouTube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dolarmak 23 Report post Posted April 7, 2013 I was planing on using your script Animated Title Screen with Events to exactly like a TV show when the screen is panning or setting up the scene that it shows them. I also think it's key to try and match your music as much as you can. Its easy to use a bunch of your favorite songs you find, but if they don't combine well people will notice. Like using Techno in one scene and then bluegrass in the next, and finishing of with 80s pop. They just don't work together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
