Title: Are You a Troubadour?
Post by: Letheliah on February 18, 2016, 08:24:14 pm: So I think I would be remiss to ignore, as a Bard especially, that I very much welcome the challenge of making a cover of the GoIO theme!~ I was already thinking of making a few sky-shanties to sing or EDM remix the music available (seriously, upgrade to Collector's Edition~ this soundtrack is awesome!), so when I caught up on what events were happening I thought it'd be the perfect time to stop lollygagging and JUST DO IT. I don't know how much time I have left (I am barely proficient in musical notation), but I'm forcing myself to deconstruct the sheet music and theme for this project of mine so it can be perfect!!!! ^^ <3

Is anyone else planning or has already sent in their covers? :3 What did you play or sing? Are you guys writing lyrics? DO you wanna make more shanties for the crews in the game? :D

I cant read score so I learned the tune through trial and error and then incorporated it into a piece i made based on Paritan.

Haha, my friend wrote it in piano sheet music form, he's not finished recording himself playing on Piano, but I keep nagging him to.

So he's another pianist.

Myself? I wanted to persuade Hannah to dance to it, but she's enjoying too much Ska and Rock to take any notice of anything else I try to play....

Post by: Letheliah on February 24, 2016, 04:09:24 pm: So I sent my song in prematurely because I thought I missed the deadline (ahhhh my sleep deprived musings!~), but I also managed to convince my brother to play a guitar cover a la Satriani or Santana style. Once I have time (hahahahahahaahhHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!) I'm gonna actually record some singing to it, but the theme doesn't really lend itself to conventional singing and lyrics so it's a challenge for me (or maybe it's just 'cause I'm picky! :P).

And yes Hanna should do all the dancing! <3

Post by: Savvey on March 23, 2016, 01:52:59 am: Did you guys get the free item and the title?

I sent a guitar recording to feedback@musegames.com, but I haven’t got any sort of reply. Maybe I did miss the deadline (if there was one), maybe the spam filter ate my e-mail. Who knows?

I guess I’ll just post it here: https://soundcloud.com/savv-music/adventure
It would be interesting to hear the covers from others.

Very cool!

As for reply from Muse, I think they've just been a bit busy, what with balance changes and the changes that went wrong, I can only imagine their email got flooded during the time that Lochnagar was broken...

Post by: Kamoba on March 23, 2016, 02:13:03 am: Additional note:
I poked Muse with a little reminder of yours, mostly because it's awesome! Hopefully they'll be back to you soon.

Oh my god. This is awesome, dude! It's like the Guns of Icarus Online theme had sex with the Firefly theme! Great work! 8) I wish this was in the game! :D
Title: Re: Are You a Troubadour?
Post by: The Mann on March 23, 2016, 05:13:48 am: Awesome!

This is much better than what I made :D
Title: Re: Are You a Troubadour?
Post by: Kamoba on March 23, 2016, 07:34:36 am: Yeah Muse confirmed it's the balance patch issues which is why they've been behind on the competition, I showed them the thread though and they'll be on it ASAP.

Post by: ZnC on March 23, 2016, 07:34:55 am: I thought Savvey's guitar cover was really awesome too. Much better than what I put together in a few hours rofl.

Post by: Savvey on March 23, 2016, 07:51:37 am: Thanks for the kind words, everyone (and for the help, Kamoba)! I guess I underestimated how much time and effort it takes to sift through the inbox overloaded with feedback. I’ll just wait patiently then.

Post by: Keyvias on March 23, 2016, 02:27:08 pm: Yup, going through the final contenders today. Just wanted to come here and personally apologize for the delay. As you can guess a lot of work in the office around balance and making sure we caught everything.

It has now been two weeks since the last message in this thread. I still haven’t heard back from the devs or received the item and the title. Could you take another look at the entries, please?
Title: Re: Are You a Troubadour?
Post by: The Mann on April 06, 2016, 02:22:46 am: Hi Savay, they should have been sent out by now, I know myself and another Bard have received theirs.

I'll pass this on to the devs for you.
Title: Re: Are You a Troubadour?
Post by: Keyvias on April 07, 2016, 10:25:06 am: Hey Savvey,

Sorry for the delay, I don't know why you didn't receive the last email, but I've resent, please let me know if you see it.
