So I've finally won a competition, after five years of being part of the MFGG forums. Normally I'd congratulate my fellow competitors for entering and extend a hand to all of those who voted for me, but unfortunately, my polka was the only entry for Music Comp #11, causing me to win by default. This may or may not speak wonders for my musical ability. Either way, let's hope the latest theme gets a better turnout, now that most of you are on summer break or will be very soon.

What are the video game NPCs and "sidekick" characters that stand out most in your mind? What do most of them have in common? If your mind works the way mine does, you've probably noticed that most of them have a pretty nifty theme song! So for Music Comp #12, your objective is to compose an original song for the character of your choice. This song can be for a character you created yourself (if so, be sure to tell us a little somewhat about this character!) or anything else you choose, but it should express something about his or her personality. Is this individual kind? evil? crazy? selfish? impatient? wealthy? lazy? happy? What kind of background does he or she come from?

Here's a few examples of the sort of song you might attempt:









The deadline is June 16. With four weekends, you should have plenty of time to come up with something. Go wild.

This should be good. So it can be any character from a game series or an original character? Looks like I can do something with this. :D

Expect it to be done soon.

Ok, yay for my first post here!

Alright, aside from that pointless note, I figured I would start by joining this competition. Is it fine to have a remix of a theme for this, or have a theme based off of another existing one?

In past comps it has been fine to remix things, although you might want to clear it up with Vinny before starting on something. Also, welcome to forums! Your name is mighty familiar...

...Erm, well then. I'm not related to him, nor did I have any prior knowledge of him at the time of making my account...But hey, thanks for the welcome. I've already started, but if I can't remix a certain epic theme from a certain underrated game, then I'll just restart.

TravixMan: Your song can be based on any character from any series you want, or a character of your own creation.

Dark Chaoxyz: Remixes are fine as long as your entry doesn't sound overly similar to the song you're remixing.

I'm going to make a theme for one of the characters from my indie game ideas that are unlikely to come to fruition (but that's okay!).

Kimi Morimoto is a not-so-normal Japanese-American teenager whose father happens to be brilliant roboticist. One day her school was bombed and she was caught in the blast. Her father did his best to preserve what was left of her daughter and, over the space of a year, built her a new, mechanical body, praying that it would be free of any life-threatening bugs as there really was no way for him to properly test such a device.

She fights crime with determination and an air of gracefulness. She's polite, sweet, and deadly. Here is a 16 second preview of her leitmotif.

(wait why cant i attach midis)

Yay!
A theme for me, a evil magician with powers and junk, and tries to use it for evil, of course! So there's that.

Cap'n: That sounds pretty cool. I just added MIDI to the list of attachable files, since MIDIs are normally small in size and are still useful for a variety of purposes.

I'm using the flute while I'm sequencing as the MIDI shakuhachi sounds terrible, at least with my sound card.

But then, all MIDI synth instruments are inferior to the real things. That's why we have SoundFonts, VST Instruments, etc.

Yay! I finished! Ok, this is probably WAY too similar to the original song, but hey, it has a completely different feel.

This is a theme for a Pixl Partner in the fangame I'm making. Her name's Jayda. Jayda is a lonely Pixl who never really had any friends. She's a fairly young pixl, and this theme is supposed to capture the longing and loneliness she deals with each day. Enjoy!

(Why can't I attach music files?)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ijpz2x5vf4kenun/Jayda.mp3

P.S. I suck at character descriptions...

Edit: It has an abrupt ending because it's supposed to loop in-game.

I have another question too. Can it also be boss music?

And I am still pondering on what character's theme I should make. I have a lot of character in my game. :P

Well, boss music is frequently the same as a character's theme, or a remix of it, so that should be OK.

I have chosen my character to work on. He is an evil genius that makes machines. So it will be creepy a bit, but will also have techno. So it's Creepy/Techno.

His full bio will be revealed when I release the track.

Well, it looks like I have composer's block with Kimi's theme, and I don't want to officially enter a mere 16 second loop into this competition.

Fortunately, I have composed something else. Although it wasn't made with this competition in mind, it was made during its time period. It's a remixed theme that should be different enough for VinnyVideo's liking. If I don't finish Kimi's theme, this will be my official competition entry.



time signature fun woooooo

tails doll forever

Here is my theme! It is a different character than what I had planned, but it still works.
https://soundcloud.com/breaking-stones/boss-trevo-jr-new-mix

Trevo Jr: The younger brother of Dark Trevo, and an inventor of many robots. He was formerly on his older brother's side, until he betrayed him due to the abuse he received from his co-workers. He now resides in an H.Q in a crater. in a volcano. He currently tries to take down both the Freedom and Independex Supporters (Travix Man and his friends,) and the Darkness Army (Dark Trevo and his army) so he can take the world of Xtruviena for himself.

Also, is artwork supposed to come with this?
