I hereby volunteer for making some of the games’ music.
I don’t know much about music (I played synths for 3 years or so) but with them fancy programs and a good ear I could provide some tracks
Anyways, regarding this : Feveth (i think it was him) talked about the themes beeing amde in MIDI format.Can’t they be made in MP3?
Sorry, this isn’t really related to what you posted Gehn, but has anyone considered remixing music from the previous games for this one? Not for the entire soundtrack, but a few new versions of familiar tunes wouldn’t go amiss. (Kind of like the way games such as Zelda keep bringing back the same classic themes…)
But as said before, you have to change it enough so you cannot be sued by Sega for making this game. It must be similar to PD, not a blantant copy of it.
Copyright laws have nothin to do with the game being retail or not…
And the lawyers are just “suits”, they won’t care if you are fans or not they will just go ahead and do what they feel they should do. They also don’t represent the company’s thoughts, they are just doing their job and among their duties is to protect Sega’s trademarks and copyrights etc…
