Hey all! I'm trying my hand at Drum and Bass. For this piece in particular, I was trying my hand at combining vocal percussion/effects with other electronic/acoustic percussion of sorts.

I'm steadily working on it, but I'm not exactly satisfied with the openness of my mix as it is currently. Perhaps someone would be willing to take a listen and offer some feedback?

On anything, really.

I'd greatly appreciate it!

Hey all. I have a project that has been stirring in the back corners of my mind. After a long debate, and the culmination of what could be a decent storyline, I wanted to gain feedback on how plausible, and successful, my idea would be.

My project, in general, will be a combination of an e-book and a visual novel.

I want the game itself to be read as a book, but contain artwork in the background.

It sounds like a picture book, but I want it to be more than that.

I want the background to change depending on the section of the book, and what is going on.

I want the background to move during a particular section, or written description.

I would like for their to be small mini-games (that progress along with the story).

For example, in my story, the main character attends a festival that happens annually. During this portion of the story (when the character attends the festival), I would like for there to be a section in this electronic book of sorts for the player to play games, and encounter festival scenes that the main character would be experiencing at the time.

I don't want any of the bubbles, or dialogue boxes that you find in visual novels, but I want the visual aspect to be there.

I guess my question is, does anyone know of something like this being done (I feel as though nothing is ever TRULY original)? Would this be do-able? Would moving backgrounds be too distracting? Would elaborative artwork to back up written text be a little bit too much for a reader?

My  goal would be to make it available for Kindles, since those are touch screen, but I realize that kindles only allow you to ... well... read, and not do all this crap I'm talking about. But my goal would be for this type of book to end up on a device like the Kindle.

Once I get the story finished, I want to begin implementing this project. Honestly, aside from some proof readers, the only other people needed would be an artist and a programmer.

Any comments would be great. I truly want this idea to become a reality, and feedback from others would benefit me greatly.

Hey all! So I guess a quick description of the game itself will help you better understand the dialogue. This game has to deal with outer body experiences and other worldly realms and consciousness. 

I would love feedback on the dialogue. I am a huge stickler about good dialogue, and though I can pinpoint it when I see/hear it, I'm not sure if I am good at creating it. The part in italics is a quick synopsis of the game, and back-story to the preceding dialogue.

The game is situated around Amnesia. The player awakens in a place called Secoursia, which is an area within the mind that deals with retrieving lost memories. When a person loses their identity (Amnesia) the brain sends a mental subject to Secoursia to go retrieve enough memories to help the Amnesiac remember themselves. Basically, the player plays as themselves, but they don't know who they are. The scene below is a memory that, when found or resurrected from the mental depths of the player's mind, will play out in the game.

The story surrounding the player is one that incorporates governmental upheaval. Einstad, the kingdom in which the player is a high official, is at war with another kingdom called Alfina. Keiv, King of Einstad, waged this war due to the neglecting of his own kingdom - By defeating Alfina, he is hoping to take its resources and build a new. Unfortunately, Einstad is on the cusp of destruction, and at the rate the war is progressing, will lose. Keiv realizes this, but persists in fighting, allowing his pride to override his judgement. The scene below is a secret meeting called to order by Marc Dolov, King Consult and Military Strategist of Einstad.

This is a track that was supposed to be used in a space game. It didn't get used, but I liked it enough to keep. When I submitted it to the developer, it was still a work in progress. I'm steadily getting used to recording acoustic guitar (well, guitar in general), and I would love some feedback on the entire track, since this is the first time I have recorded guitar and combined it in this fashion. I don't think the climax is open enough, and enveloping enough. I want it to have a kind of engulfing feeling before the mellow ending.

Thanks a lot for those willing to offer feedback (though I feel like a pig for continuously asking for it).

Hey all! I am currently working on the soundtrack for an up and coming game for the Ipad/Android tablets titled Conquest.
I have yet to let anyone listen to what I have made thus far, and I would really like some constructive criticism on how things sound at this point.

There are two tracks (primarily the ones I will be using in my portfolio), featured in the link below. I haven't uploaded everything that I have recently made since he doesn't want to release too much.

Any and all advice is very helpful.

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to lend an ear and a couple o' digits to help me out.
