    Here's another WIP, just adjusted the filter on the Wobble Bass, swapped out the 'Almost 303' for a different 'Acid Lead' in Synth1, added a Bell Synth for a harmonized lead, and a sub bass done in Surge.

    I don't know if anyone here remembers Broken Saints, but I found it to be overrated and not good. Sure, Brooke Burgess had interesting and original ideas, but they got wasted on agonizingly slow pacing, incompetently puzzling dialogue, maudlin music that doesn't fit, and hardly had any real animation. Twisted Metal 2's cutscenes did the whole 'motion comic' thing better. (Much better, mind you.) Outside of TM2, Clutch Cargo, and UPA's The Tell-Tale Heart, I hate motion comics.

    I heard that Shenmue 3 was pretty bad, but how bad is it really?

      It's quite good, actually. There was just a smear campaign against it run by Steam supporters bent out of shape about its Epic Games Store timed exclusivity. It's like the rivalry between Kohl's shoppers and Target shoppers, if Kohl's and Target shoppers were deranged.

      It's coming to GOG.com as well.  I wasn't going to buy a PS4 (or whatever) for it, but since I played and loved the first two on the Dreamcast, I'll very likely pick this up regardless of reviews.

    For those who played Shin Megami Tensei III on the PS2, Atlus has announced a Hi-Def remaster: 

    Oh, and SMTV is coming out next year.

    Here's a live version of one of the songs from Vertexer. It makes me wonder why Taito never had Ving port this to the Saturn...

  6. SlidellMan

    One of the best songs in One Piece that doesn't involve Charlotte Linlin:

    More autotune fun!

    RIP Charlie Daniels and Ennio Morricone.

      Not Ennio Morricone...!

    I might have to try this.

    Here's a really cool video on how to create textures for 3D models:

     

    Even if you aren't making a ROM hack, this is actually quite handy.

    For those who wanted to hear more Acid:

    Tempo: 128 BPM

    Scale: G Melodic Minor

      How about a Goa trance WIP? 

       

      Bass: Largo, that elastic lead sound: Strobe2 (with a lot of FX), TD-3 doing the acid line and EastWest Ra doing the tanpura and sitar. Done in Reason 10.

      Sick! I like it.

    Sometimes when I click my mouse, it registers as a double-click. Has anyone here experienced this, and is anyone here experienced in fixing it.

      Common failure, especially in recent Logitech mice.  The switch is going bad.  If you can take the mouse apart, get some decent contact cleaner in the switch.  It will help for a while, but not long in my experience.

    2. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      Thanks, and my mouse is a Logitech, by the way.

    My first attempt at making a warning sound effect in PreSonus Studio One: https://www.bandlab.com/fighting_zenith/zenithian-khei-warning-2d773052?revId=c9be0ea7-e4b0-ea11-96d3-501ac51f5e37

    I'm quite proud of this, but am open to criticism.

    Confirmed: The North American version of the ZX (Zedex) Spectrum.

    There's just something about Einhänder's soundtrack that always hits the spot:

      Awesome!   I have that game, but I haven't played it in years...Good stuff!

  16. SlidellMan

    I wonder if anyone here has played Bound by Flame?

    Autotuned Cat song:

      Cool music. Is Cobie a Bengal?  My sister had four of them at one time.  Boy was that entertaining!

    2. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      Yep, that is a Bengal. My neighbors have one.

      It’s sufficiently ridiculous to take time to listen

      to... what sort of nonsense is all this, where do people find it ?

       

      But, wait... its about  cats  ,.. so

      who cares?!!

  18. SlidellMan

    As much as I love Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier, and both of the Sin & Punishment games; I'll be the first to admit that Treasure's games are not above criticism. In particular, I still think that  Radiant Silvergun's storyline is awful. Not helped by its maudlin, barely-animated cutscenes and dull, uninteresting characters.

  19. SlidellMan

    I know that I've said this numerous times on various websites, but I find Final Fantasy VII to be pretentious, poorly-paced, convoluted, poorly-written, and boring. On the other hand, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is still excellent to this very day.

      "strike when it's tail is up"

       

      we've all been there, seeing Barret die again and again

       

      i see your point though, even if it is irrelevant 

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      An irrelevant never forgets

      I WAS 100% a Final Fantasy fanboy up until Final Fantasy VII came out. I really disliked it.

       

      I never played a new FF game again after that. lol

    I've always wondered why Robocop Vs The Terminator (Gen/MD) had no boss battle music. Was it due to the deadline or ROM space?

    1. Halycon275

      Halycon275

      interesting question. I'm going to assume space issues. The largest game for the Genesis was 5MB so 16 Mega bits (the actual size, props to vimm.net)

      presented issues. Not only did they have to compress the audio, but the sprites for the characters, and the background themselves would've made a boss battle impractical. I can see it being re released for the 32X or sega CD though. IF there was a boss battle, i think it would've crashed the cart or possibly overloaded the 68000 CPU inside the machine.  the 68000 series can address 16MB  and the additional sprite and background data for said boss fight (assuming an additional 16k) would NOT be possible. You would have to modify the 68000 chip inside to address more than 16MB, possibly by replacing it with an aftermarket chip that allows 64MB, but then that screws up the timing for the z80 so there's that.

       

      If the Genesis had three other processors that took the load off, it might be feasible but on a stock genesis, it would be highly impractical.

      as mentioned above, if it were re released for the 32X, the extra power would come in handy. The RISC processors and greatly expanded video and regular ram (256k each). would be more than enough to supplement for the background sprites while the main 68000 draws the boss and foreground area and the 32X's improved video brightens up dark areas. time just ran out and space was cramped but a re release for the 32X would  

      make this game damn near perfect.

    I just realized that when making a homebrew game, start with something small and finish it first. Then move on to bigger, more ambitious projects.

      1) cool!

       

      2) what’s the concept/main-inspiriation?

    3. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      I wanted to make something that was somewhat easy, but wasn't another Tetris or Space Invaders.

    A little something from Jessica Calvello: 

    Easily the best video of the year.

     

  23. SlidellMan

    Friendly reminder that the Pickford Brothers have a Plok webcomic that is still going. Link: http://www.zee-3.com/plok/

    That game's soundtrack still kicks ass to this very day.

      DragonGrafx-16

      The Plok game is amazing with some great music... I never realized there is an ongoing comic.

      Here's a Goa Track that I also made: https://shanefromslidell.bandcamp.com/track/dark-mandala

      I'd like to hear your honest thoughts on these two.

      I like the keyboard sounds on the top song.

  25. SlidellMan

    Am I the only person who thinks that a One Piece MMO/Open World game would be doable if Toei and Bandai Namco played their cards right? At least it would be a better Assassin's Creed 4 or Sea of Thieves than both of them.
