if you would've just made the whole thing GPLv2 this wouldn't have been an issue in the first place god damn it.

You need to kopipe some more info in the OP. Like, what the HELL is the /jp/ project and why are BSD licenses so superior.

Also, please use the official /jp/ Project Thread image.

you shouldn't have remade this thread yet

What the fuck, it`s already the thread #11 and everything that was done was just music projects?
What is this, the fucking music board?
Do some fucking eroge you faggots, and do it in Japanese in order to not become the neo-Katawa shoujo.

Almost right. They tried too hard to make it Japanese, _failed_, tried to ram it back into a western state of mind, didn't quite make it, and there you have it.

There's no reason for these threads to exist. They should be a part of the original content thread.

>>11472307
Make one, then! This is a thread for projects after all.

>>11479670
Porting an existing story to a different medium isn't exactly making one from scratch.

I know you guys really like synth, but does anybody want to make an instrumental track? I'm a year into the Violin, which realistically is almost nothing, but I want to contribute! I know there's plenty of aspiring keyboard players out there, so maybe we can work something out! The recording quality doesn't have to be excellent (though if you're feeling picky about it, then I can't help that) since it's just for fun, and I'm okay with doing a backdrop, first or second voices.

All I really need is sheet music, though if you want to make an arrange, we could probably work something out from an MP3 or music video. I'm excited, let's work together and make something beautiful!

>>11486661
Would you mind working alongside VSTs and synths?

>>11486873

Please do not bump troll threads from the moot raid.

>>11486909

>Original content thread
Even if you say so, the only people using this thread are drawfags. Makes me wonder why the hell we don't have more /jp/ games when we supposedly have so much pro artists and pro coders, you know, the ones always shitting up threads with their awesome knowledge of one topic.

>>11487139
I'm not a huge fan of the OC thread because it's 90% worthless scumbag posts and 10% actual original content, but you do see a decent amount of music in them, and the occasional programming projects.

>>11487139
>Makes me wonder why the hell we don't have more /jp/ games
Too much of a worthless NEET to finish anything I start in my case. I want to make a nice game for /jp/ one day.

Maybe I'll churn out some renpy shit

Guys I want to build a statue of my waifu now that the government shutdown they can't do shit about it, anyone want to help me?

>>11487139
Aren't you expecting a bit too much? Games are really hard to make, man.

Maybe we could have something sooner if more people would actually help out, instead of just complaining about the lack of stuff being done. I think you don't have any right to complain when you aren't doing anything yourself.

>>11479703
You are way too fatalistic. There's at least three people left that remember.

>>11487139

Does anyone actually think this place could create something worth playing? Western touhou fans are fucking worthless in general, and /jp/ is no different. I can see our game now: Art either downloaded from pixiv or ripped from Hisoutensoku, sprites taken from Genius of Sappheiros and music ripped from various touhou remix cd's all slapped into rpg maker. Maybe mix it in with some generic monsters ripped out of snes roms for variety.

>>11487139
You get way to many responses, I'm sad at /jp/ but I may as well drop in now as well.

This is a /jp/ Project thread. It's there for the userbase of /jp/ to get to gether to work and discuss projects. It's not a "make a game with strangers in a short amount of time" thread.
And as friendly reminder: we're doing unpaid projects on an annonymous imageboard that isn't known for it's working ethnics. Also add to that the condition that a game needs more than one skill to get done. It's relative easy to get people with common skills and interest together for a project but people that have no idea about the work, skills and difficulties of the other project members in this anonymous enviroment without the typical management that dedicated studios have is quite much. Everything that gets worked on is quite an achievement in itself.

You will probably never get the joy of a silly forever-project.

Also re-read the post you quoted and the ones it responds to. It's about doing an artbook which is arguably better done in the OC-thread for the exact reason you stated (althrough I agree with >>11487210, it's not 100% drawfags and an artbook as a community project may be better discussed here as OC threads are more solo-oriented).

If you want to shitpost so badly and have your games please go to the agdg in >>>/vg/. I'm sure you will be in good company.

Who am I kidding. I'm actually quite enjoying your continuous efforts. Besides these threads would probably die before the bumplimit is reached without you.

>>11487513
>I think you don't have any right to complain when you aren't doing anything yourself.
While I think that the one you replied to is a shitposter, I do feel bothered by this statement. Complaining is a form of critique and that shouldn't be limited to contributors. But in this case the complain in itself is rather dull, to me it sounds like "Why're you having fun if it doesn't entertain ME!?".

>>11487711
>working ethnics.

Slabe labor?

>>11486873
Nope! Whatever goes. I'm also buying a keyboard today, so there's that too. I really would like to do an instrumental track, but if it's gotta be synth, then I'm okay with it.

>>11488225
Curious, why do you differentiate between synth and instrumental? Are you implying one can't be the other? Am I missing something?

>>11488329
I don't really know the difference, sorry. I think I'm just being judgemental for the hell of it. Well, I listened to some tracks from the first /jp/ album, though I don't actually listen to synth that much, but how should I put it? It was like listening to a real singer compared to a vocaloid voice bank: you can make the vocaloid sound incredble, almost real, but there's always that little something that reminds you that it's a vocaloid.

Mind you, I'm not saying real singers are better than voice banks or vice-versa, I actually like vocaloid songs more than real vocals. What I'm trying to get across, I think, is that the first album has enough synth in it, and we could be trying something different. I'm still okay with synth, but I want to do instrumental more, because that could be interesting and fun!

>>11487711
>working ethnics

>>11477398
No it's not, you're just pretending it is.

We're not that group, it makes no sense to use their logo. We can't say "/jp/ Project presents..." because we aren't /jp/ Project.

>>11487711
>working ethnics

>>11488378
Ah, I think I get it. By instrumental, you mean stuff with actual physical musical instruments, yes? And not simply the generally-accepted definition? Can't help you there, sorry~

I might want to have strings in my arrange, though. It's kind of post-rock-ish, I don't know if you'll be interested in that kind of thing.

>>11487810
>isn't known for
truNEETs masterrace.

>>11486661
I have a bunch of original songs that I have the sheet music for, some of them are duets/quartets with strings. If you would like to work something out or talk about making your own compositions or recordings I would love to collaborate!

>>11479670
>>11479687
>Dandy Girl

I believe it's being rewritten/expanded by some fags from /vg/, so you might just want to wait. Because the original was... not so great.

>>11488576 here again. Wanted to also mention that they couldn't get an artist for a remake so it's really just a big-ass update patch with improved menus and stuff, not a remake.

>>11488585
Ashamed of your art? A stylized silhouette will do!

And that's actually one of the decent sprites in the game, god damn /vg/ devs.

>>11488592
That's actually from the box art. See attached image.

Also the menus look a lot better now. Link to dev blog?

>>11488602
>Link to dev blog?
http://outis-games.net/ All their project pages are down now though.

>>11488602
I know, but I mentally compare it to a movie poster. You know the movie's not going to be like that. Here it's also a still image and the original sucks, but you're already playing. Might as well have something more representative because you're a click away from the real, unfiltered shitty art.

What kind of compilation is this even supposed to be? Here I was hoping it would be something similar to the old /jp/ soundtrack.

>>11488778

>>11488390
klol

>>11488778
What _was_ the old /jp/ soundtrack? It just so happened that we received too many entries, which is why we had to come up with an arbitrary way to split it into two cds. If it had gone normally, it's no more and no less random as this round's compilation.

>>11486661
If you can make something, really anything, within 2 weeks (maybe three, if you're close by then), you can still make it to the music compilation.

So what happened with the Marisa revamp platformer btw?

>>11487711
>It's there for the userbase of /jp/ to get together to work and discuss projects

You should try to re-read your replies before posting. I'm also fairly amused that you're assuming that people are shitposting when it's precisely what you're just doing here.

You're sad at /jp/? You think you're so special that you even stated what this thread is about according to you? Just who do you think you are? Fucking idiot.
Anyway, if you're so special please feel free to tell us what you've possibly done for the /jp/ project in the last 10 threads, aside from 'shitposting' of course.

>>11489564
I just hope he wasn't scared away by the stupid discussions on licenses and shit.

>>11487210
>I'm not a huge fan of the OC thread because it's 90% worthless scumbag posts and 10% actual original content
Please don't kill me with such jokes. I almost had a heart attack.

These project threads are 99.9% worthless scumbag posts and 0.1% original content, if even that or it's closer to 0.001%. Literally.

>>11488530
Post them, I want to see some of them!

>>11489440
Does it have to be for the music compilation? Why not just make something and see where it goes?

>>11479670
The Dandy Girl was made like what 4 years ago?

>>11481332
You might be surprised to learn that nothing is ever really from scratch. You should just see The Dandy Girl as something similar to what modernized Romeo and Juliette films are.

>>11489612
No, I mean, if you want to, you can still make it. The music compilation's going to be open for any music submissions for a few more weeks, anyway.

>>11487139
>>11487513
>>11487711
I think the problem is that stupid and worthless people are put on the same level as skilled and intelligent people by everyone using anonymous posting. So you get these kinds of stupid responses like >>11487711, made on behalf of /jp/ as a whole that only represent the fictional imagination/fantasies of one asshole that doesn't contribute anything but only pats everyone on the back for no good reason.

It wouldn't be so bad if the posts weren't so passive aggressive in telling people to get in line or get lost. I mean, those are sometimes people that could actually make real contributions and not just circle jerking.

You're not doing any unpaid work. You're not doing anything at all. The only reason you don't use OC threads at this point is because you feel you carved out your own little kingdom and in fact you don't want to share with other people like those in the OC threads. It's just plain and simple ego tripping and riding on the coattails of the few people that actually do stuff. Only one (Marisa platformer) of which is an actual collaboration between only 2 people from what I can tell. The music compilation is only as collaborative as the Society for OC Archiving.

So keep up the good work in telling people to go to other boards and other threads if they're actually capable of making anything.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me out on this question:

>>11489732

>>11489612
>Why not just make something and see where it goes?
Make something and upload it and I'll sample it.

>>11488642
>>11488602
>>11488585
>>11488576
Why are they rewriting it and redoing the menus?

They know it's a /jp/ thing right?

It just seems like they're doing superficial changes so they can take credit for it.

>>11489794
Doesn't really matter since most of the main staff of the original project's gone.

>>11489794
It's okay, anon. We can make some new things!


Seriously, though, if there are rappers on /jp/, I got beats.

I was thinking this piece in particular to start things off but we can do whatever, I don't mind.

>>11489943

I thought this was apparent to the members, but:

This isn't actually a project thread. This is, very clearly, leftovers from moot's raid. We even got White Ren in the mix for those who didn't catch the trolling the first time. It's great you found someone to work with, but please let this thread die so we can make the actual thread #11.

>>11489956
Well, never mind how this thread started, since we're using it now, we can just use it as if it were the real one.

>>11489957

But, we aren't. This thread is missing several important pieces of information for all the projects, and is filled almost entirely with trolling.

So, use it to coordinate with your partner if you'd like, but please sage so we can get the actual thread going quicker.

>>11489956
The only risk of using a "wrong thread" is that OP might delete it to troll everybody. Since that's not an issue anymore, I don't see why anybody should actually care.

>>11489969
It's fine, it's fine. In fact, here's all the info we need:

Previous thread >>11388660

Finished Projects:

- Album project: The first /jp/ music project is complete! You can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?caz9uuvan03c5z1 and access the public dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7vymrf03krqs545/xMtFnbHOQo

Existing Projects:

- Marisa Platformer: An anon started working on a 2D sidescrolling platformer in Unity. You can check out the latest version here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/an391yajtvficdr/marisaPlatformer005.rar

- Album project: The second album project is underway! (Up to two) submissions are due by October 14th, 11:59:59 PM PST.
Tracks are to be uploaded to Dropbox; to get an invite, send an e-mail to jpMusicProjectTwo@gmail.com. There's no length, genre or theme requirement; anything will do. To view the files in the project, the dropbox is public through this link:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yfv5oq9txc0gq44/DmcafQeJsK

Discussion of any potential other projects is, of course, also welcome.

>>11489973

The current OP lacks any information about the Marisa platformer, the other active /jp/ project.

Additionally, it has no information about the second music project. The deadline, the dropbox, how to get added, etc.

Further, it is blatantly inviting trolling by violating one of /jp/'s most fundamental rules of '/a/ speak'.

We've already had enough trolling as is, and this thread only asks for more without providing the substance to encourage actual project work. That is why we care.

Anyways, I'm not going to continue to support the thread by replying. Just remember to sage and everything will work out fine.

>>11489981
Why are you such a whiney bitch?

>>11489981
Take it easy, mate, I think it'd be worse for us if we made another thread and incur another wave of /jp/'s wrath. Let's just stay here and proceed normally, okay?

>>11489981
If there's information, add it to the thread instead of bitching. Someone's done just that.

>Further, it is blatantly inviting trolling by violating one of /jp/'s most fundamental rules of '/a/ speak'.
Seeing as how nobody even commented on that part, I don't think anybody cares as much as you do.

>>11489975
>Album project: The first /jp/ music project is complete!
More like second or third, but I wouldn't expect crossboarders to know or care about anything /jp/ related.

>>11489956
>>11489969
>>11489981
>>11489985
This, whiny bitch. I think it's great you have found people to work with but none of this is actually /jp/ related.

This is thread #11 and it's just like all the other trashy threads. Just because the OP doesn't mention some trivial pieces of information that doesn't mean it's not as pointless and bad as all the previous threads.

>>11489794
They're working with two of the original devs who basically said "Go ahead, we'll just watch you make it better because we're fucking lazy."

As if anyone would listen to "B-but /jp/ made that!" anyway.

>>11488778
Anyone a working DL link? The original is gone.

>>11488782
>>11488778
Anyone have a working DL link? The original is gone.

>>11489578
Don't worry, I'm still here and I'm not planning on going anywhere. I haven't posted any updates because I'm just kind of stuck at the moment, mostly due to a lack of ideas. I was hoping we could get a lot more people to at least pitch in their ideas, and maybe draw a sprite or two, but it seems like everyone prefers to just shitpost about irrelevant issues. The biggest problem I have with that is that it feels like I'm just doing my personal project on my own, rather than a collaboration, and that was never what I wanted to do.

In any case, my plan for now is to release a "finished" playable version pretty soon (once all animations are done, plus a few other things). It won't have very much content, unfortunately, but I'll work with what we have so far and try to squeeze the most out of it. And then later on, if there's any interest at all, I'll keep updating it with more stuff over time. Well, me or anyone else, as I'll be keeping it open source.

>>11490714
If you need music, I am able to make something upon request. I wish I could provide some art, but I'm really no good at it.

>>11491208
Sure, music would be fantastic. Can't really give you any specific requests, it would be best if you can just make something that you think would fit the game well.
Though personally I think something along these lines would fit nicely, minus the lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2gI9RNAHpo

Thank you!

>>11491208
Just playing idea-guy here, but how about some loopable scarlet devil mansion related tracks (since that will probably be the first stage to reach playable status as far as I've followed)? Can you do sound-effects, too?

It makes me extremely disgusted that these threads have managed to become a part of the /jp/ browsing experience.

>>11492074
It makes me disgusted that people have nothing better to do than troll this thread and talk about Magister in the OC thread. I don't understand why, ever since /jp/ began, certain people have absolutely hated the idea of /jp/ being creative in any way.

I also hate whoever that retard is that goes on about supposed people from /vg/ and /a/ who would want to come here and participate in /jp/ activities instead of activities on their own board.

>>11492026
I'll see what I can do, but from what I know so far, I don't have the proper instruments to make an appropriate SDM-esque track.
>SFX
To a lesser extent. If it's made by me, I could only provide sfx made out from synth instruments. 'Proper' sfx I couldn't really provide.

>>11490714
That looks amazing.
>it seems like everyone prefers to just shitpost about irrelevant issues
Isn't that to be expected? From experience, I have found that the best way of receiving help is to make a strong initiative and to form strong bonds with those who are actually helpful. It's easier for people to participate if there is strong leadership and something to build from. That gives the project a direction instead of having endless arguments about things that aren't important.
>The biggest problem I have with that is that it feels like I'm just doing my personal project on my own, rather than a collaboration, and that was never what I wanted to do.
The same thing happened to my game(pic related) but I don't really mind. I prefer working alone. It helps me reach my inner autism.

>>11490714
So I'm a bit lost in this thread, what is this game?

>>11490714
>The biggest problem I have with that is that it feels like I'm just doing my personal project on my own, rather than a collaboration
This, my friend, is currently the idiocy of the /jp/ project threads. I find it funny that everyone wants to play a /jp/ game and yet no one gives a single contribution.
Though I guess your main concern is about arts and animations, and I don't see people helping with that unless you hire or pay them.

>>11493739
Is this a game you're going to add to the /jp/ Project too anon?

I recently managed to get some 3D workable models of Remilia but I wonder what kind of game I should make with that.
I also managed to convert some of the Vocaloids but I can't really picture them in any other games than a dancing one, which I'm not interested in making.

Hiiiii!

Sweet tracks again this time around for the Music Compi. So far, I like Crinkles' bgm-ish tracks the most. Good work again there.

It looks like there are only horrible people participating in these threads right now. Good thing I helped to ruin them a few months ago.

>>11503517
Maybe you scared the good people away and only the horrible are left over.
I want to hug you so madly for you edginess.

Just one week away from the /jp/ Music Project 2 deadline, how is everyone doing? We've received a lot of entries now, a bit more than 1 cd's worth, based on the last project, but not quite enough to warrant another 2 cd release. Does anyone still have tracks on the way?

Also, I think it's a good time to start looking for a drawfag for the 2nd album's cover. Obviously, the deadline for the art won't be next week either way, but the earlier, the better, I suppose?

>>11503517

>>11506089
I was mostly being curious, but I could help with research (as most stuff nowadays involves references to mythology, pop culture, medicine, etc) editing and proofreading.

>>11504426
I could make a track if necessary, but what's the main idea of /jp/ Music Project 2? I can't find it explained anywhere.

(it would be acoustic also, would that be OK?)

>>11504426
why the HELL are you making another music release so soon after the first?

>>11506153
It isn't a matter of necessity, but if you want to, you (might?) still make it for next week's deadline. And this round's organizer said that any track would be fine, similar to the first project, so, yeah, I think it'd be alright. You're going to have to do it double-time, though.

>>11505857
Ok.

>>11506171
Just happened, I guess. I wasn't the one who decided to start the second round, but whatever - just go with the flow.

Can't wait for the next crossboarder shit album that no one actually listens to.

How do I submit?

>>11506498
I'm from /cm/ :3

>>11506501
You need to post it on the /jp/ project subreddit.

>>11506501
You'll have to contact the organizer, then. The e-mail was posted earlier in this thread, just browse the posts above. He'll then send you an invite to the dropbox.

>>11506516
No. Go on ahead.

Is there a filesize limit for the tracks? Mine is over 9000kbs.

GrEeTz FrOm /B/

>>11506518
What about track name? My song name is Rageface Rick Roll but I'm not sure if people on this board would appreciate that name. I already posted it on reddit last week and it had good response so I don't know.

>>11506516
>>11506518

lel

I hate crossboarders therefore I hate myself

Bump. Can I still submit Rageface Rick Roll? My post was deleted for some reason.

>>11510589
No, these memes are too epic

>>11510613
What if I rename the song? Kind of annoying to do though because people on reddit already know it as something else.

I was planning on contributing a track or two to the compilation, but it seems to be a little late now.

They're not really /jp/ related anyway.

>>11512542
What qualifies as /jp/ related music anyway?

>>11512542
You're an idiot if you think anything on the album will be /jp/ related, or even made by people from /jp/

>>11513297
Originally nobody is "from /jp/."

>>11513297
I've probably been here longer than you, nerdling.

I wonder if I can make it... When's the 2nd album's deadline in non-nigger time?

I will probably like this album as much as I like mudkipz.

>>11513304
This is why I consider presplitters crossies. They've already been tainted by /a/. If you were on 4chan at all before 2008, you're not a tru/jp/er.

no qt art for the album this time?

>>11519035
Pick another artist than the two from last time please. No offense but their pics were too poorly drawn.

>>11520060
Maybe we could ask on /ic/ or something? Just make sure they say they're from /jp/ on this thread so the autists won't get mad, like everyone else in this thread is doing.

>>11519035
>>11520060
>>11520715
I'd understand if the /jp/ drawfags wouldn't want to participate anymore, given our deteriorating reputation. If no one wants to submit, tough luck, but it's not really a problem at all. It's a _music_ album after all.

>>11520735
/jp/ music album made by people from /mu/ and /v/, pretty epic dude

>>11520907
[citation needed]

bump

>>11520735
Please someone quicky draw something, even if it's shitty we'll take anything as long as it's cute.

Fuck I still haven't finished mixing. There's still a day left before the deadline, right?

>>11523145
Someone said there's a deadline but I don't think there's really a deadline.

i don't think the deadline was ever meant to be a hard limit. it will probably stay open until the album art is decided on.

>>11523218
>>11523181
The organizer will be the one to decide whether to follow the deadline or wait for album art. However, I'm seeing two problems: 1) He doesn't seem to have changed his mind after that spat a few dozen posts ago about letting this thread die. 2) There doesn't seem to be any interest to make the album art... So far, at least.

Artist here. Any droid programers interested in making a weeab-esque cash shop card game?

Is the compilation album music that was made by /jp/ users? Or is it an actual compilation album of otaku-related music?

A good project for /jp/ to collaborate on would be a brand new Japanese Cyberpunk Visual Novel with anthropomorphic 4chan memes as playable characters.

>>11523218
>>11524860
I just happened to see this post from the front page. I don't normally frequent these project threads, but I wouldn't mind making album artwork if there's enough time. I just need some info and whatnot, one of which is how I get in touch with whoever is organizing the release.

>>11525001
You wouldn't mind making art for /mu/, /a/ and /v/? Then you aren't from /jp/ yourself.

>>11521350
This thread.

Can this thread please be moved to /a/? They are more accepting of crossboard collaborations.

>>11525001

You can contact him through the address above.

>>11525047
Can you please move to /lgbt/? They are more accepting of faggots.

>>11525113
Listen I'm from /a/ so I know that they are more accepting. Let's just move the thread there. I have a couple friends who are in this project and they haven't even been to /jp/ before, they just want to showcase their music.

>>11525140
but we want the j bb

Myself, I'd consider myself as being more of a /jp/ guy than an /a/ guy. I've submitted a few songs to this project.

When is the deadline?

we're using names now? i didnt want to use one before because i thought people would make fun of me but i am more comfortable using one, maybe its just me :/

when is this thing coming out anyway? the guy said he accepted my song

My friend told me about this thread, I don't really come on /jp/ but can I still submit a song?

>>11525699
only if ur a fellow /v/irgin bro

Are you implying we're all the same person? BTW I browse other boards but /v/. I'm not that much of a faggot. And it's not like I haven't been to /jp/ before, just only a few times to look at the untranslated visual novel thread but it's pretty shit anyway. I go on /mu/ and /b/ too.

>>11526195
oops I meant translated visual novel ** sorry! lol

>>11525001
Just take a listen to the submitted tracks and draw something.

>>11526690
This is the art of the first release.

>>11526693
And this picture who didn't make it in time in the release.

>>11526690
>>11526693
Drawn by normals.

No. thank you.

>>11526697
Pardon?

Phew, somehow I managed to barely finish in time. Might be able to do two tracks my ass.

>>11526693
I miss timestamp_bitch guy's art. He should draw some more bitches.

>>11526697

What do you have against normal people, Anon?

>>11527096
Because they just don't understand.
Nice, but naive.

When is the deadline for this project?

>>11528445
The deadline should have passed by now, or will soon pass.

And on that note, I think we should close the applications for the dropbox. We have gathered (to my surprise) again a large number of submissions - similar, if not equal to, the number of submissions we got last time.

Unfortunately, the organizer still hasn't posted back in this thread, but I hope he's at least browsing from time-to-time. He seems to still be accepting the dropbox requests, thankfully.

Anyway, now that the deadline has more or less passed, we should again think about the format of the compilation.

We have 10 people submitting, and all but one have at least 2. In this case, we have at least 19 tracks if we follow last project's format of selecting up to 2 tracks per person. The question now is, will we do another 2 cd release - or not?

The problem this time is, so far, we only have one person interested in making an album cover, and I'm afraid that the workload would be too large if we made him do 2 cd covers. Honestly, there's no problem, or difference - in fact - if we just pack it all in 1 big cd to make ends meet.

The best scenario is, however unlikely, that another artist becomes willing to make an album art, or the person we have right now would be willing to do two.

>>11528507
Please do not refer to it as /jp/ Music Project. It has nothing to do with /jp/. A more suitable name would be /a/v/mu/ Music Project or 4chan Crossboard Music Project etc

>>11528565
>implying being /a/ is crossboarding
>being this new
>le shiggydiggy
We're Weaponized /a/, of course /a/ is /jp/-related
it's even in the board name, didn't you get the memo?

>>11528709
Let's try not to honor worthless posts like that by replying to them. In fact, let's spite them instead by talking about the /jp/ Music Project, or any other /jp/ Project instead.

>>11528507

We can probably do it like last time, where the deadline was purely for the music, and the actual album is released once the art is done.

Do we want to do another 'track theme' like the last one, where someone listened to the songs and arranged them in a nice order?

>>11528744
IIRC, we divided the songs last time by electronic / organic. I think this time around the number of tracks are skewed to the electronic side, my count being 15 to 5. Though probably 2-3 tracks in the electronic side may be counted as 'on-the-fence'.

>>11528507
Maybe trying to make it fit on one or two (or any amount of) CDs is just limiting things unnecessarily. It's not like we're actually going to have physical CDs printed, right?
Might as well include everyone's songs, however long the resulting 'album' is.

>>11528777
That's true; just looking at it in a retrospective point of view, is all - It did feel a bit more 'real' when we formatted it as if it were an actual CD, you know?

>>11528720
let's have a listening party once it's done! i think it's neat to have a way for people who cares (all two of us) to chill and enjoy the album together

>>11528877
Like a radio of sorts for OC music? Sounds like a fun idea, but we're nowhere near the number of tracks required for a day's worth of a radio show, much less if we're going to be doing it more than once - listening to the same tracks again and again can only go so far.

>>11528901
no, like a listening party

>>11529036
I have no idea what you mean by that.

>>11529166
I think he means like a party where you listen

>>11529166
maybe a livestream

>>11529166
gather at irc or somewhere and set up a way for everyone to listen to the same thing at once. play the album live from start to finish and just chill with your /jp/ butt-buddies. beer optional

>>11529405
This is clearly a post that no one from /jp/ would make. This whole thread is such a shitty mess.

>>11528507
>We have gathered (to my surprise) again a large number of submissions - similar, if not equal to, the number of submissions we got last time.
Not really :
The first compilation has 28 tracks for 1:49 duration.
The second project has 20 tracks for 1:19 duration.
I suggest we keep the applications open for now, there's no reason fo a deadline since we still don't have a cover art.

>if we follow last project's format of selecting up to 2 tracks per person
Wrong, the first project has up to 3 tracks per person.
People had submitted 1 to 6 tracks. The number 3 was decided because a good number of artists submitted 3 or more tracks and because is permitted to create two cd with the same number of tracks.

For the second project it looks like people limited themselves to 2 tracks (except J0hn). Artists should submit the number of tracks they want, I think it's too early to decide on a number of tracks per artist to include in the release.

I'd like to know if there are still people who want to submit their music or not.

As you said there's a lot of electro oriented music this time and for now we won't be able to make a organic cd and an electro cd, but, we can think of other theme to organise the cd if we want to go for a double release.
We have sufficient tracks to do a double release but we'll need two cover arts for that and we still have none. For now I think we should go for a single release.

Also I listened to all the submitted tracks and there's some problems :

>Bruh Street VIII (Rolling Rolling! [Ganjameister Remix] <BASED> {RARE}>])
Maybe I don't understand, I fear that this track may be too repetitive and too long.

>Vandrao,
the panning of your tracks seems strangely done to me, you've got a lot of high end on the right with more low end on the right. Usually you'll want to have a balenced mix with all the frequencies spread on the stereo space, if certain frequencies are placed on an narrow stereo space it's not very pleasant to listen. I know that it's nice to have an instrument like the piano with a panning that emulates the real instrument, but in this case you should balance the stereo space with the other instruments.
I suggest you review your panning, it should not be difficult to do somthing really good since there's not a lot of instruments.

>The Strange Visitor and the Skywriter
There a problem with the mix I'll try to explain the best I can...
Normally you want to let your sound peak to maximum level so they have a lot of dynamics but without going above 0dBa. In this track it sounds like you've limited (or compressed really hard) a lot of your instruments while some of your percussions are able to reach 0dBa.
Check the spectrogram, you should see that the signal doesn't go all the way up but instead draws a sort of line were the compression/limitation occurs.
Because of that your instrument lose a lot of dynamic and it feels like they block each other.
I suggest you redo your mix.
>Wandering East of the Horizon
The end is to abrupt, you should let the instruments fade of until it's silent.

>>11530197
I'd still like to play around with my mix since I'm unhappy with what I have, if that counts. Is it too late?

>>11530346
No it's not to late, there's no deadline. I dunno why anyone ever said there was a deadline.

>>11530207
>The Strange Visitor and the Skywriter
I'd love to fix it, but I wish I had an idea about what you just said. You were correct to say that I did compress several instruments. Do you mean to say I should take it out? In any case, I'll try it out.

>Wandering East of the Horizon
The track was meant to loop into itself. I don't mind fading it out for this release, but... the end would sound awkward then.

>>11530468
You should adjust the volume of the instruments without any compression/limitation and without minding the clip at first. Then you should adjust the master volume so that you have "some" clip at the loudest parts of the song, at this point, everything should be pretty low in volume. Now you start to add compression. The purpose of compression is to raise percieved volume while not reaching 0dBa (clip). If you need to compress a lot to reach desired volume, then it means there a problem with the earlier steps of mixing (filter/EQ/pan and a lot of stuff). I won't explain all that stuff here, I suggest you read some guides online on mixing it will only help you.

>Wandering East of the Horizon
If you could arrenge the end of this song for the release it would be nice.

>>11530468
I think what he's trying to say is you overcompressed some of your instruments as well as the master mix.

If you run it through a spectogram, you'll see the resulting spectrum looks really bad/weird. Unless it was a conscious effort, you usually don't want extreme clipping like that.

>>11530496
>>11530505
Oh, I somewhat understood that. I guess I misused the compressor, then. I'll see what I can do about it.

And sure, I'll make a different end for this release.

>>11530202
>Maybe I don't understand
That you don't. But it's okay, it's not the most accessible genre anyways.

>too long
5 minutes is nowhere near too long for a track. Please stop listening to anime/video game music.

>>11529955
I'm not really in any hurry to do the release (and either way, it's beyond my authority, since I'm not this round's organizer), and I don't think anyone would mind if we kept the applications open. But I would caution against setting the deadline with the album cover, because there's really no telling when (or if) that will happen, especially if we do another 2 cd release - we only have 1 artist right now.

>>11530542
Much better.

>>11530607
Yeah sure... I'd like to hear other people's opinion on that track.

>>11530620
>>11530607
It's really repetitive and its length is at the edge of something I would listen to if it were "normal" music that wasn't some epic rock saga or orchestral piece. Being as repetitive as it is, it's about 2 minutes too long.

>>11530620
>>11530672
Well regardless of anyone's opinions, this album has no requirements for genre, track length, or even quality. So unless we are implementing quality control, the track is fine as is.

In this case I want a quality check.

>b-but m-muh style

>>11530867
Tasteless joke aside, though, I think >>11530607 is fine the way it is. I'm not really good with those sort of music, but those kind of tunes are meant to have, uhh, a kind of hypnotic feel to it, right? Shortening it would just discard that hypnotic atmosphere, wouldn't it?

>>11530867

I'm not really good with those sort of music, but those kind of tunes are meant to have, uhh, a kind of hypnotic feel to it, right? Shortening it would just discard that hypnotic atmosphere, wouldn't it? And making it 2 minutes is practically telling him to emasculate the song, it just wouldn't work.

>>11530883
Okay then.

>>11530202
I think the panning isn't the main problem. By all means the panning should have been fine, but the mix is too dry. With you trying to emulate real instruments, making the instruments wetter and echo more across the sonic space would make it more pleasant. Maybe.

>>11530202
I did think that I might have overdone it with the panning. I'll get to that and re-submit.

>>11531163
Hmm. I'll try and see what I can do, but I'm not sure exactly how much I can get done with these low end VSTs that I have.

Is CitronSec around? I'd like to know the name of that piano with the vampire-ish feel you use a lot in your compositions, if possible.

Well, it seems we have the music group here, although the confusion about the project is exactly what I was highlighting earlier....

>>11529955
>limited themselves to 2 tracks
The idea is that each artist can upload as many songs as they'd like to the dropbox, and then choose which two they'd like to submit.

Two in particular so we didn't have to worry about choosing how many songs each artist contributed. Considering submissions can be used in later releases (with artist's consent) I don't see a compelling reason to change the limit.

>>11530197
>>11530346
No 'new' submissions will be accepted for this album so we don't get stuck in deadline/editing limbo, but they can easily be added to the next one.

That said, I'm expecting the actual release to be the end of the month, which should give us ample time to get anything sorted out that we need to and allow the artists to make whatever tweaks they see fit.

>>11530202
I appreciate that you've taken the time to listen through everything and give feedback, it looks like it's helping several of the artists improve their processes. (If anyone knows how to make Miku intelligible, please, let me know).
>too repetitive and too long
We're not looking to exclude any songs based on style or personal preference. The /jp/ album is meant to be open to whatever the /jp/sies want to make. There will be a cursory quality check (for example, we're not releasing someone fapping into a microphone for x minutes), but nothing beyond that.

It would be great to see 'themed' projects crop up alongside the general one, where the submitters could be more restrictive about the types of songs they produce, but the general one won't impose those types of restrictions.

As for the particular track in question, that is the style (similar to Faced). It's meant to be music one listens to in the background, as they focus on other things. No music is universally enjoyed, but it is still an accepted submission.

>>11532459
So, now that the deadline has passed, each artist should do any post-processing they feel they need as we prepare for the release.

Is there interest in arranging the tracks to 'tell a story' like last time? That's not my forte but if an anon/artist would like to submit an ordering that may be welcomed.

>>11528507
>Honestly, there's no problem, or difference - in fact - if we just pack it all in 1 big cd to make ends meet.
This is what I was expecting, and if the end-of-the-month is too tight we can always throw up a plain-text cover.

As for an album name, suggestions are open. I'm personally thinking '/jp/ Music Compilation Two' is fine, but we can run a poll like last time if we get some good suggestions.

Couldn't we do an Original vs Arrange thematic division for this one? We have 13 vs 7, which isn't too bad.

Is this Dr. J0hn R0ddy's crazy rod person for real?

>>11532685
The submissions are real, at least.

>>11532702

>>11532432
Sure, it's called "harpsichord".

>>11532459
>and then choose which two they'd like to submit.
In the first project, artists uploaded their tracks and we then discussed with people in the thread on witch track to include in the release, it wasn't based on the sole desicion of the artist. I remember that we choose the best tracks among what the artist had uploaded.

>If anyone knows how to make Miku intelligible, please, let me know
Same problem here, I voiced one of my music with her and you don't understand what she's saying. Some people say that the voicebank is just shitty and they even prefer to use seeU.

>We're not looking to exclude any songs based on style or personal preference.
We ? You mean "I" no ? Anyway it's ok for me now to include this track since the artist really wants it.

>>11532460
>Is there interest in arranging the tracks to 'tell a story' like last time?
I'll do this now.

>This is what I was expecting, and if the end-of-the-month is too tight we can always throw up a plain-text cover.
Nan really we need a cover, even if it's poorly drawn. Please someone step up and do it.

>>11532459
>If anyone knows how to make Miku intelligible, please, let me know
Try a multiband compressor. In the one I use (ReaXComp) you can set the gain of a frequency range. I managed to get Luka sounding pretty good by boosting everthing above 5KHz by 6dB and lowering all other bands by -3dB.

>>11533386
Also I forgot :
I suggest that we do a flac release + a v0 release.
In the precedent project we had a lot of people conplaining about the bitrate. So at some point I'd like that everyone upload their wav, it's also better for the mastering.

1. Let's Curse Our Fates Together, Little Kobito!
2. Wriggle
3. What Goes Around
4. Off to Orinrinland
5. Japanese SNES game
6. Faced
7. Endless Echo
8. J0hn R0ddy's rod
9. Grim Technology
10. Transient Steps
11. Beautiful Lie Filling the Void
12. Wandering East of the Horizon
13. The Strange Visitor in the Skywriter
14. Instrument of Death｜Grace Incarnate
15. Enveloping Mist
16. Yandeiru Seishun
17. Bad Apple!!
18. Colorful Path
19. A day in the life of a NEET
20. Brush Street VIII

So the album would start off with fumo's track just like the first release.
Since we're doing a single release it's being very long so I decided to divide the album in 3 parts, electro, organic and then calm jazzy music.
First part starts with Wriggle to give some energy and ends with Transient Steps wich has a slow tempo.
Second part starts with Beautiful Lie wich seems to be a good intro and ends with Enveloping Mist wich is nice and calm.
Third part starts with Yandeiru Seishun to change the mood after Enveloping Mist and ends with A day in the life of NEET to end on a calm and simple instrumental note.
And then there's Brush Street VIII wich is "meant to have, uhh, a kind of hypnotic feel to it, right?", so I guess you'd better get hypnotized at the end of the album.

All suggestions welcome.

Wav versions uploaded. As for the name, I'm partial to /jp/ Music Compilation Two, for continuity's sake.

>>11533540
Ah fuck off, not again. I even wrote it specifically with an 'end-of-album' feeling in mind this time.

Then again the song I ripped off is also an album opener, so there's that, I suppose.

Can you guys put the homeboard of the composer next to the track title? It would be cool to see which boards contributed what.

They're crossboarders, they count many boards as their "home board". I put the specific board feel they were aiming for next to each song.

>In the first project, artists uploaded their tracks and we then discussed with people in the thread on witch track to include in the release
Indeed. I purposed the 'pick two' as a way to preempt a non-ending discussion (and deadline limbo) like what happened with the title. This isn't to say we can't discuss the songs.

> You mean "I" no ?
I do mean 'we'. I am not the person who organized the last album, and I don't anticipate being the one who organizes the next. Which is why we want to establish was the /jp/ music project functions to the community. In the last project we were fairly adamant about the 'open to all (reasonable) submissions' point, which is why I was reiterating it here.

>>11533540
>J0hn R0ddy's rod
I went through and listened to the submissions as part of the cursory quality control (additional checks are welcome).

I do like the beat and feel of this song, but at 0:52 and 0:56, the background voice appears to have changed to 'penis' instead of 'Hiya!' (or perhaps a shortened 'peni'). If this is the case, the author should re-upload a modified version of the song so we avoid the appearance of trolling and keep to the SFW theme of the blue boards.

This is not to say that we can't have a NSFW album release, just that it should not be the general project.

Beyond that I like the order proposed.

>>11533401
Thanks, I'll give it a try and see. The downside is that, since I wrote the words, I can understand almost all of what she says. Unfortunately, when I ran it by some friends, they couldn't understand any of it...

>>11535557
>not wanting ``penis penis penis penis penis''
frick off spic
deth to cencorship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>11535557
I can remove the PENIS sample if it offends people. But before I do that, I'd like to hear what the project organiser and other people involved think first.

>>11535557
>If this is the case, the author should re-upload a modified version of the song so we avoid the appearance of trolling and keep to the SFW theme of the blue boards.
I disagree. There's nothing wrong with the word 'penis'. In fact, we can type the word 'penis' all we want on /jp/. More importantly, it's his artistic vision and he clearly put an actual effort into creating the track so it's not trolling.

>>11533401
>In the precedent project we had a lot of people conplaining about the bitrate.
No one actually cares. It's just trolls trolling and autistic audiophiles not trolling.

>>11535618
He _is_ the project organizer. As for myself, I'd only approve of your 'penis' submission' if your intention for doing so was not simply to troll, but as a conscious decision made because of the nature of the song.

Not that you'd admit so if you were really trolling, anyway.

>>11535664
>He _is_ the project organizer.
Oh shit... I see. Sorry about that.

I didn't do it to troll, I did it because it's my personal style. I've used the same sample in several other songs I've worked on outside of this project.

did that guy ever release the source code or is he still trying to rob /jp/sies of their hard work>???

>>11535675
Just so you know, this project is a very popular destination for trolls, as the number of deleted posts in this thread will vividly show, so I hope you understand the extra precautions we're taking - just hope you also understand that the way you have presented yourself seemed very suspicious.

Still, if what you say is true, then I don't see any reason to reject your work.

>>11535697
I see. I'm really just behaving the way I normally do on the internet.

If there's anything I can do to prove I'm not a troll, let me know, I can probably do it for you.

>>11535779
That unnecessary, not to mention pointless. I'll take your word for it.

Personally I would be offended if I heard the world penis while listening to the album so I vote that it gets removed.

So the /jp/ project really is for crossboarding compilation musics?

What happened to the Marisa platformer? Why don't we have more games?

>/jp/

>>11535949
>listening to trolls
Come now anon, you can't be this gullible.

>>11536088
It could also be that he is a troll himself.

>>11536088
I know I can't believe he actually thought someone from /jp/ would make a game. What an idiot.

Why doesn't the /jp/ project respect my freedoms? Is it all the crossies taking part? I bet it is.

So this is /jp/ circlejerking and making musical penis jokes, huh? Well, at least you condense your threads, cancer.

>>11536519
We have always been at our worst when trying very hard to be original.

>>11536505
This is /jp/ bitch. Get in line or get out.

>>11536454
People from /jp/ can make games; I myself have made plenty of them. They just can't collaborate; the only times I've ever completed a game collaboration was when I was frequently physically in the same room as my teammates, with the only real successes being when we were all stuck in the same room for 48 straight hours.

>>11536587
Go to bed VDZ

/jp/ is our music circle. it's still a release from /jp/ even though we have some crossboarder guest tracks.

>>11536596
But I just woke up...

After a long delay it's finally time for a new build~

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zt0e8bnspjm2p3s/marisaPlatformer008.rar

(Source here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4eqgb5j497jut1b/marisa008source.rar))

This version is pretty much "finished", meaning it's playable, with proper HP/lives tracking, level completion, timer, etc. Not all the stuff planned is in, for example, you only have one attack, there's only one character, only a few types of enemies, some key animations are missing, etc. If there's any interest, I will (slowly) keep adding more stuff over time, but I'd also like to keep this open for others to contribute. Several people have expressed the interest to contribute previously, so hopefully that can actually happen. Unfortunately, I can't really tell you specifically what's needed, because I don't know that myself, I can only say that the game needs more stuff in general. Check this post >>11391908 for an example of a perfect "content" contribution (four out of five enemies/obstacles currently in the game are from that post. If several other people made contributions like that, the game would quickly grow several times larger).

In addition, there's also some polish required before it can really be considered finished. Specifically:
- character animations (jumping, getting hurt, shooting, maybe crouching)
- sound effects (jumping, landing, shooting, bullet impact, picking up mushrooms, activating checkpoint)
- music (no specific requirements here)
and also, a name. I can't come up with anything more creative than "Marisa Platformer".

Anyway, regardless of further contributions, the game is very much playable right now, so go and make some cool maps and share them here. I recommend you play the Tutorial in game mode first, then open it in the editor mode to see how it works.

>>11537488
>and also, a name. I can't come up with anything more creative than "Marisa Platformer".

Marisa Monogatari

>>11537497
That sounds nice, I like it.

By the way, I don't know how many of you have noticed, but the Marisa in the game has blue eyes. I should probably fix it at some point...

>>11537488
God damn, what is with that second jump?
That's one hell of a tutorial level.

>>11537548
I did notice, you Nazi.

Then again I wasn't sure what colour her eyes are supposed to be. They look black in the earlier Windows games, yellow in the Tasofro games, then yellow/brown in the later ZUN games.

I guess experiment with yellow-brown hues and get something that works?

>>11537549
The one with the two moving platforms? Try jumping when the second platform changes direction and starts coming back towards you.

And yeah, it's a bit hard, because I wanted it to take longer than one minute to complete, but I also didn't want to just add a lot of the same easy obstacles over and over again to extend the length. Anyway, it's a touhou game, it's supposed to be hard, right?

>>11537488
>>11391908 guy here.
>there's also some polish required before it can really be considered finished.
I'm currently working on the animations which takes me far longer then I expected. Hope it gets easier as I progress.
>>11537548
>the Marisa in the game has blue eyes.
I've noticed that after I took a break from trying to make sense out of jumping animations and that really shocked me. I've no idea what trip I was on but I already fixed it and will upload it with the new content.

>>11537584
Great to hear you're still working on it, I was afraid you'd given up. Don't worry about the time, there's no rush. I'm certainly not working amazingly fast either.

>>11537548
She had blueish eyes in CoLA, and in GoM too I think?

>>11533655
That track's my favorite in this album, I think it's well worth to be the opener.

OMG SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT THE GAME ALREADY! We're trying to discuss the crossboard album.

>>11538168
Being serious, I think that game should have its own thread. It's a cool project and everything, but having two large projects discussed in one thread is a bit cluttered. This thread should be mainly about the album/music project.

>>11538220
no

>>11538220
Absolutely not.

>>11538220
How could it be cluttered, when discussion only goes on in short bursts every once in a while? Each project is way too small to have its own thread and is a waste of front page space. Much better to condense them all in one thread.

>>11538220
Or just ban the game guy already because we need to try and make this album a monthly thing. That's not going to happen with people shitting up the thread like that. I think we should open up threads on /mu/, /v/ and /a/ to invite them to post their songs here.

>>11538421
no

>>11538421
Absolutely not.

>>11538506
37 minutes too late, bub.

can the gameguy post the source ifh e wants to shit up the thread ty

>/jp/ music circle
Well, I guess it's okay. As long as they stay on topic.
>crossie guest tracks
/jp/ IS DEAD

Just because it's called the "/jp/" album doesn't mean it needs to be all by /jp/. It just means /jp/ is organizing it, who cares if other people want to join in? The most the merrier, it's just a name. Plus let's face it, everyone here goes to other boards. No one here is really from /jp/, it's just a board you come to every once in a while to shitpost. Hell I even browse reddit regularly, probably more than 4chan, but my song was still accepted. It doesn't make my music any less good or worthy of making it on to the album

>>11538710
You forgot to link to my post, turbo-crossie.

Also I would really appreciate it if at some point in the near future you would stop killing /jp/.
Thanks.

>>11538721
I'm not killing /jp/, if anything this album is helping it by recruiting new posters from other boards. Maybe after they submit a song or listen to the album they will stick around for a while and post here. It's a good thing, if you can't see that then you seriously need mental help... :/

>>11538728
If you're trolling you are doing a super job.

can the crossies make this shitty music thread on /mu/ iuf they want tons of other boards to help ouit

ty

>>11538710

ugh...

please kill yourself out of /jp/

Holy fucking batman look at all them baits.
No, the hooks aren't even baited at this point.

tutoriel is too hard

>>11539159
the background tiles could probably use some variations in the future, like cracks, some mold, more discoloration patterns and such, and then be placed randomly into the existing backgrounds.

the patterns are too easily noticable when every tile is the same as the other.

To the developper of the game : I see that the jump has two levels depending on how long you press the jump key. I suggest you do something more precise, the jump should stop the moment the player releases the key, something like in the castlevania games for the DS.

In the editor, when you're not on the first layer, you fall through obstacles of the first layer.

I can't use the editor, the collision only applies to the layer i'm editing, so I cant place ennemies and stuff. Pls fix this ;_;

>>11470865
Can one sell touhou fan games?

>>11539460
Yes the japanese o it all the time, there is no copyright on touhou. One of the reasons why touhou has the most fanart, hentai and music remixes.

>>11539545
Then i could put a touhou game on steam? As long as lord gaben is ok with it

Why nobody ever did that?

>>11539560
Because the very large majority of fangames are awful

>>11539545
Why are people so retarded about copyright? Touhou is copyrighted, just like anything made since Mickey Mouse that hasn't specifically been released from copyright (by dedicating it to the public domain).

ZUN just ALLOWS fans to make games. He very much owns the copyright, and uses it to occasionally poke people who try to commercialize Touhou too much to keep the whole thing doujin.

>>11539363
>>11539388
Oh I see. You're not actually supposed to be able to edit the map and move the character at the same time, but it happens when you create a new map, for some reason. Just press F to switch to the editor and it should work fine.

>>11539582
This.

It seems some people get the wrong idea since they see him allowing so much work they think the copyright simply doesn't exist.

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there.

He can very well pull down everything if he wanted to, and it would all be well within his rights. Not that he would, but he very much can.

>>11539613
That's not how a copyright works.
You can't go for years not bothering to enforce it and then say "LOLNOPE" and attempt to use it for legal action.

>>11539699
You actually can, because you own it. Should The Winstons say "hey Drum and Bass big names, better start paying for all those Amen break sampling you did", they're gonna get paid even if they just let anyone use it for free until now because no one signed any permission contracts.

Same goes for 2hu. ZUN wakes up tomorrow and decides he wants to fuck everyone in the ear, doujin creators better hope he has a lotta lube.

>>11539699
Tell that to　Harmony Gold

Someone have tracklist for music compilation one?

Well there goes the thread again.

>>11539699
That's TRADEMARKS only. Copyright and patents can remain unenforced for decades and then suddenly screw people over. Stop spreading this bullshit misinformation, it's harmful.

>>11539717
The Amen Break is a bad example, as it would fall under fair use (using a tiny sample in a way that does not harm the original creators commercially).

>>11540310
>The Amen Break is a bad example, as it would fall under fair use (using a tiny sample in a way that does not harm the original creators commercially).
No, it doesn't fall under fair use. Even the tiniest sample is protected as long as it's identifiable. Anything that involves repackaging constitutes commercial harm when it comes to copyright law. "Fair use" is to recreate the Amen pattern with your own/royalty-free/cleared sounds, or in Touhou's case, your own set of characters and setting. Or do a parody that recognizes the copyright belonging to ZUN, and he'd still be able to get a share of any potential profits in this case if he had a good enough lawyer. Don't delude yourself, there are legal precedents.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mockbuster#The_Asylum_vs._Warner_Bros..2C_2012

>>11540340
Fair Use is specifically for things that ARE protected by copyright law. They designate exceptions to the normal protection provided by copyright; in certain cases, you are allowed to use copyrighted stuff even if under copyright law you would normally not be allowed to.

>17 U.S.C. § 107
>
>Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:
>
>1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
>2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
>3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
>4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
>
>The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

If you use a tiny sample that is not recognizably the 'core' of the track, and don't use it in a way that it becomes the 'core' of your track (for example, Eminem's 'Sing For the Moment' would infringe on Aerosmith's 'Dream On' if he hadn't gotten the rights), then it's fair use unless the court screws you over. (They can always sue even if they won't win the case.)

How come people can make money from porn parodies, but I can't even include Sonic and Cloud in my fan game?

>>11540414
They could sue for porn parodies if they wanted to.

So I made a map in Marisa Plateformer but it won't load in normale game mode.

>>11540457
Could you upload the map file? (you can just paste the file content into pastebin since it's just plaintext)

>>11539699
What makes you think it doesn't work like that?
Why do you think they shouldn't be allowed to just screw everyone over after allowing them to do what they want for years with your copyrighted material?
Sorry to burst your bubble but the world isn't always so nice and cozy like that, people can, have, and will screw you over with copyrights and you better damn well know how they actually work before you get a rude reality check.

>>11540493
http://pastebin.com/N366cCr3

>>11540435

I think it's because if they were to actually sue for such a thing they'd be giving it attention and bringing it to everyone's eyes so it's best to ignore it for the sake of keeping a clean image?

>Copyright shit talk again

Before thinking of copyrights try to make a game that is not shitty. I don't even understand why you guys would talk about that shit in the first place.

Or do you guys really think that your non-existent shitty game is worth that kind of talk in the first place? Stop giving yourselves so much importance.

How's the album art going? Did the artist already receive access to the dropbox?

Also, here's your map fixed: http://pastebin.com/mw1vvu1x
The problem is, the player spawns way above the actual map, and currently there's no way to change that. I'll try to add some way to change your starting position in a future release. For now, you have to press R in the editor to see where the spawn point is and build your map around that.

I've been working on a mahjong game every now and then.
Wish I had the motivation to work on it more.

>>11542662
Whoa, that looks pretty good.

I've been having a hard as hell time finding a simple mahjong game for any handheld, and i'm too scared to play randoms on tenhou when i'm at my computer.

Looks great so far, is it against AI or are you implementing online?

>>11543515
It will most likely have both.
Although online will just be privately hosted lobbies.

>>11544094
Well thats gonna make playing with my friends easier.

We just try to coordinate and all join a lobby at the same time and hope for the best on tenhou. Best of luck!

Also what is this coded in if you don't mind me asking, and would you consider an option for local texture packs to change the tile faces? Even if its just replacing the original images in an archive or something. (The green on your bamboo tiles isn't green enough for my taste, but i'm just picky and its probably fine.)
