Your tracks sound great. Music is one of the hardest things to get in game dev, and I'm sure your pack would be well appreciated.

Good Luck

I think a combination of horror, scifi, and some general action music would be pretty awesome too see in a potential pack.

Yeah, the production is really nice man. That sounds a bit like some Proteus string stabs in the Fight sequence tracks.

I make beats myself so I'd be interested to know what you use.

Edit. And yes, a pack would be a great idea, but think carefully about your licence, as you are un-likely to make any money off royalties from FPSC users. £20 is totally fair, infact considering each track must take a couple of hours from conception to export, you're really underselling yourself!

I can do beats myself, so I don't know if I would buy, but it's certainly worth it to those users without production capabilites...

..and just coz I'm in a nice mood. If you send me either the fight track or the horror track, I can cut it over some game footage for you (as people might be more encouraged to buy if they can see your work over an actual game. For examples of my editing work go to - www.peanutbutterfingers.co.uk/cutandpieces


Finally, a few other tips for increasing revenue/ usability of the media you're selling.

1) Get in touch with Xplosys at FPSfree.com, I'm sure he will gladly advertise your product. He advertised my, and it rejuvinated my revenue.

2) Perhaps take some shorter 2 bar breaks and individual samples from your tracks and include them too. That way people can activate snippets of the beat, or samples when the player enters a certain zone. I don't know if this'll make sense if you don't actually use FPSC, so here's an example.

*You walk down a creepy corridoor
*as you pass through a shadow, there's a violin stab sample plays
*later, a cabinet falls over and the stab plays again
*you reach a door and a ton of zombies appear, at witch point the violin music kicks in proppery.

I just think people will be more interested if they can implement the whole track, or just elements.

Best of luck. Didn't really intend to write this much... but wahtever, I hope it helps.

zork all the way

Well i just finnished track 1 of the pack, its a whoping 35 seconds but is an action loop. really dark and gnarley. I think i will add a 'shorts' folder on the cd which will have 5-10 stabs for people to use.

Alot of the sounds on my myspace page are from EWQL Colossus, if you can afford it its the best money you will spend! Also most recently i use Battery3 for my beats.

HEy guys, thought Id give a brief teaser as to what the pack will sound a bit like. The sound quality will be better than this on the CD, I made the video lower quality so people couldnt rip the sound directly off them...I know you guys wouldnt but u never know

I had a listen, It didnt seem dark or horror enough to fit a library such as this one, do you not agree?
