Prospect of Making Some OMG RAREZ! Game Boots

[TheClash603]

Despite what the few previous posters said...  when do I get my Space Fantasy Zone?  Or did this project actually die?

I would love to see a Dracula X English, and a Space Fantasy Zone (although I originally voted for dynastic hero) but most of all I want any translated game, especially the rpgs to be "reproed / boots made" high quality pressed with color inserts and al of that. I want to play the games but don't likle using cdrs in my systems. and any of these that hopefully (fingers crossed) gets released I will buy at least 1 copy of. Make it happen!

+1 for the unreleased

[Necromancer]

This project ain't dead; it proceeds exceedingly slow.  I'm hoping to have time this long weekend to work on some artwork (no complete scans of the CDR version have materialized), and I've had a couple offers for new tunes but nothing solid.

As for Dracula X - I'm not against doing it, but it ain't very high on my list.  I'm much more interested in doing unreleased titles and games that are actually difficult to play without Japanese language skills.

So which game actually got the go-ahead?  I think I missed that post, and too lazy to go back and read it all over.

Space Fantasy Zone

The rom only has two songs, so we need more tunes similar to the existing tracks. If you have any ideas, post them here: https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=10180.0

I still want to see Space Fantasy Zone get the first run. It's the only one that hasn't gotten an official release. I'd even be happy with a pressing with the castrated tracks. Decent tunage is nice, but the gameplay is the single most important part of a game in my eyes.

I've offered to play around with the Super Fantasy Zone tracks, try to make them a lil' more rich sounding beyond the original FM, & I believe Arkhan offered to do stuff for this as well.  I know I personally have been too busy to get started,partially because I'm getting way behind on my own personal Frozen Utopia schedule in regards to making tunes for Jungle Bros. Arkhan's been busy with school, though I think he has winter vacaction coming up, but he's probably got stuff to do for his Retrocade, so, it's hard to say when either of us can get around to it.  I wish there was some more music makers on here, that maybe had more time then Ark or I to help get this ball rolling.

Hey Guys, I may be able to help with the music end of this stuff. My friends and I own a recording studio and have assloads of equipment. However, I'm not sure exactly what the tone of this game is music-wise, what format you'd need the songs in, song length, the number of tracks, etc. We'd need to hear the existing songs so we could match them up as best we can. If you could send me specifics, I could work on some stuff with my friends and send over some samples. We're pretty busy now working on some other projects, but I've got a feeling this could be a fairly quick project depending on what you'd need.

EDIT: Just watched a bit of gameplay footage to hear the music. I'm sure we could do something that matches up. My only concern in doing this is I wouldn't want people to play it and even notice that the tracks are new. Fortunately, we've got some synths, and plenty of sound banks we can go through to find something as true to the original stuff as we can. Maybe homage some other Fantasy Zone games, etc.

If you guys are interested, let me know and we'll try to get something going.

So you can hear what's already there, I can send you a link to the complete game (iso/cue/wav), or I can upload just the tunes somewhere.  Format should be wav and the song length kinda depends - the two truncated songs should probably be the same length as the existing tunes (something like eight seconds), but the other songs aren't set in stone; they should be in the same neighborhood though, so they don't loop repeatedly or the level ends long before the music does.  They should have a similar feel to the existing tracks, and at the bare minimum I'd like the two short truncated songs replaced and one additional song to alternate with the existing tune (one for odd levels, one for even); ideally, I'd like a separate song for each level.

I can halp with music... but whats the deadline here?  I'd most likely be waiting until mid december to make something.

Okay, so in an ideal situation you'd need what, six songs? But at minimum, two? Am I reading that correctly?

I'm meeting with those guys tonight and I'll talk it over to see what we can do.

Thank you for doing this..  I will definitely purchase a copy

Minimum is one 'real' song and two shorties that need the last couple seconds filled/completed.  In an ideal world we'd need the two short tracks fixed, seven new stage songs (there's eight stages sharing one track and the ninth stage already has a unique tune), plus two new songs to play on the intro. and title screens if Tom can figure out how to make 'em play.  I actually have an idea for the title screen, though, so that one might be taken care of.

[KingDrool]

Okay, what's a good length for the stage songs? I just wanna have a good idea of what we need when I meet with my friends tonight. But I talked briefly to both of them today and they both seemed like we could take care of it pretty quickly. Do you have a due date?
