Coming out of voter's retirement for some tiebreaking I guess:
Snarky Puppy - Lingus (Live Ver.)
Clark (ft. Martina Topley-Bird) - Secret

Dude!! These are like, really good! I especially liked the The Ninja Warriors and Ganbare Goemon ports, and also particularly enjoyed the Kick Master port. How you continue to crank out this many quality tunes floors me, and makes me feel like I need to step my game up. Good work, man, good work.

Clean, as always. It's nice to have something to remind people that unsampled ports are still more than viable, and these deliver. I look forward to the labor this generates for the waiting submissions queue what this adds to the music section.

WOWZA, I was not ready to be slapped in the face with not only quality tunes, but some stunning graphics to go alongside it! I'm not sure which to be more impressed by... on second thought, probably the songs, since those most likely took more effort... but man, great work on these, and this whole thread, it bleeds character and I love it.

T-Square - Blue in Red: Knight's Song
Xi - Valhalla
Los Hermanos - Último Romance
Snarky Puppy - Lingus (Live Ver.)

I've given up trying to justify my votes and I literally only picked Los Hermanos because it had less votes as of the time of me writing this and I don't care which of those wins. Definitely want to see the other 3 pass though, especially Lingus.

For the record, with that confidence, I am willing to agree that you can probably beat me in a fight, haha. That being said...

As someone who is currently singlehandedly responsible for 12.5% of music submissions from this franchise to the site, what are your thoughts/experiences with Fire Emblem? (predictable question is predictable, I know.)

Also, as a psychological experiment, how would you describe your music to someone in just 4 words? (or 5 if you are in desperate need of it)

Last time, on C3...
I had naught but a single unsampled port to present to you. This time, however, things are different! This time, I'll be... postponing my original plans again. But, but! I still have some things to showcase to you, one of which will serve as a teaser to the thread-to-be that I will have prepared for next C3. Without further ado, here's the breakdown of what I'll be showcasing:

-A preview of next C3's thread
-An official showcase of my SFC3 composition because I forgot to upload it before C3 :skull emoji:
-A showcase of some polished old ports from my OWDC entry (to be added soon...)


A Prologue to the Genealogy
First and foremost, a project that took me longer than I first thought it would. Given my love for Fire Emblem, and especially Genealogy of the Holy War, I thought I'd try bringing some of the chapter themes to the section, but as it turns out trying to accurately port these tunes was much more exhausting than I expected, so by the time I was mostly done with this one I realized it wouldn't be feasible to finish all the ones I wanted to do. But, since the first chapter is titled "Prologue", I figured this could serve as a prologue to the eventual thread I plan to make next time! But, enough talk:
The Birth of a Holy Knight!

...what's that? You don't like those nasty SMW samples? Eugh, fine... just for you, I'll add the original samples in.
Here, take it!

Admittedly, I'm still not 100% satisfied with how accurately I converted these, but there's a point where you just have to not drive yourself crazy with these things.

A Tribute to Kenji Ito
I somehow managed to squeak out 5th place in the originals category for Super Famicompo 3 with this track, which I'm very thankful for. I know people gave some good comments on how to make it better (big shoutouts to VecchiaZim), but I decided not to implement them, on account of this song being designed to be as close to possible as a track from a Romancing SaGa game or such, and a lot of the decisions were made with that in mind, so most of the points of improvement would take away from that faithfulness. But, I'll stop yapping and show the thing:
Ito's... Lame?

Somewhat infamously (or so I like to think) the SPC700 Player truncated the name of this entry from "Disjointed Emotions ~ Ito's Lament" to "Ito's Lame", which certainly paints an entirely different image, haha.

A Collection for Overworlds
Since my submission for the 2021 OWDC was also heavily inspired and based on Genealogy of the Holy War, I ended up porting a number of other themes from the game to use for the music on the different OW maps. At the time it was a bit rushed (and arguably might still be), so I thought I'd give them a little touch-up. While I would've liked to fully redo them from scratch given my new knowledge since then, I had neither the time nor motivation, so instead I just buffed them up a little bit. Plus, I'll even add cheesy flavor text, since I'm not as confident in how well they hold up, so here:

Deirdre's Theme
A mysterious girl, dwelling alone in the spirit forest... what secrets might she harbor?

Gold Axe, Silver Axe𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
"You seem to have dropped your axe into the lake... tell me, was it this gold axe, or this silver axe?"

Decision 2
It was not my choice to fight on this side, but I cannot change what fate may bring.

Decision 3
It doesn't matter who we've lost. We cannot afford to falter. We'll stick this fight out, to the bitter end.

Edda Palace
This air... it feels as if I am for the first time truly at home... truly at peace...

Speak of Legends
What's that? You mean to say you haven't heard the tale of the Twelve Crusaders? Allow me to tell it to you...


As usual, I'm never 100% confident in my ability, so feel free to offer any criticism you think might make these better, and who knows? I may implement it! But, Until next time, I thank you for taking the time to stop by my thread, and hopefully I'll be fully prepared for next time.

See ya!

Ooh, I like the unusual palette on the overworld, has a very fantastical energy that goes well with the theme. Some of the graphics also look pretty cool.

I really like how you keep adding yourself in different ways to your stuff, especially with the image pixelizations (or whatever the appropriate term for those are). It adds a lot of unique character and charm.

You always do a good job of finding and porting some hidden gems I'm completely unaware of, so hats off to you for that. I've "discovered" Philip Glass in a sense almost entirely through your ports, and your Prince Igor port allowed me to discover the original in full, so I find that rather neat. Though, Diving Station especially stands out to me here, with all the samples being used and the sound effects. Nice work, man.
embed fail!!






It's been nice sort of "meeting" you, in some disjunct sense of the term, through your compositions, mainly thanks to Super Famicompo. But yeah, this definitely paints the correct atmosphere given the title, and it sticks with the beat throughout. Good work.

Not every day you see the score actually getting used for something, so that's a nice thing to see. I think it's a really neat idea overall, good luck finishing it up!

An oldie but a goodie, and the only video I've ever bookmarked (because it's unlisted).

Really amazing let's play of a revolutionary new hack here, not to mention the deep underlying message hidden beneath the surface. I wonder when TAS'ers are gonna get their hands on this to optimize it to the max.

Thanks for the kind words thus far! The thread is now updated to include the OWDC ports! (and rushed silly little word blobs alongside)

Oh don't worry, there'll be even fierier themes next time. #w{>=)}

After what happened with Ito's Lament, I have to wonder if this is intentional or if SPC titles just don't want to cooperate.

WAIT I FORGOT ABOUT THIS BAHAHA
This was actually entirely unintentional, though I showed to my other friends when I noticed it got cut off awhile back. I guess my song titles just get cut off at the most comedically intriguing places, haha.

If I make a hack does it count as a Lobster hack on account of crustaceous association

Wow, I'm impressed by the amount of time and effort this must've taken to complete. It's neat to see some of the tricks and skips used that you wouldn't think to be possible.
embed fail!!






Wow, this is really neat. I can't imagine beginning to try and code a game from scratch, so color me impressed. Not to mention some killer music to accompany it too!
