Eh...I'm just good at finding music. As far as making/playing music goes, I have a hell of a lot to learn. This is because... (cue not so tragic backstory). Quote button doesn't work? Try the multi quote button instead. That might work better. I'm literally just surfing YouTube. Well, we could always use feedback on ideas and music selection and stuff. Maybe try your hand at spriting or something? I've heard that having more than one spriter is good. I'm clocking in now. It's late. Goodnight!

Thanks for the information! Okay, but before you start planning individual episodes out, I think we should have the overall story planned out. Like major points and events. Oh, and what are you doing about the 18th gym? Huh. Never heard of .ogg. I read the post, and it says that the script also gives more control over music overall, so that could be useful. Feel better, Lore! With the basic information given on the leaders, we can probably flesh them out more ourselves. You know, fill in the holes. One thing I want to add to this is that I feel like its good to get a lot of people's feedback on ideas (which is kinda the purpose of this thread, but I'm thinking more of a private thing so that important story info isn't released to the public before the game is), people who don't mind getting the story spoiled for them. I don't mind helping out in this regard, but I'll leave the decision of who does what to Jacob. The fact of it is, Commander has the most writing experience out of all of us. His input, and challenges, make us think a bit more about what we're doing and how we're doing it. It's still Jacob's story, he's just helping us fit it all together.

Well, I don't think we'll be reusing too many overworld themes. Depends on the size of the map. That was actually my backup idea, to have 5 themes, one for each area. The 4 elements and one for the Electric and Steel gyms, since they're closer to the city. Of those five, I have one already. The Mechanical Rhythm that Tempo selected for the steel leader. It would work for electric too. The wasteland music was pretty sweet imo. It emphasized the jumbled mess that it is. Of course, dubstep isn't for everyone, it usually hurts my head too. With the leader themes... I don't know what direction that'll go, but I'm making plans for both. I don't know if now is the best time to ask since nothing is set in stone, but do you have an idea of how long the story will be?

Ah. The polar king! I am the resident Glaceon and Cryokinetic. Pleased to make your acquaintance. If you need help with anything, don't be afraid to ask. Enjoy your stay!

I've been putting together some atmospheric music. We aren't completely boycotting GxC (her music is good, just overused),we'll have some of her themes for battle and atmosphere, we just won't be heavily relying on it like other games. At some point, in about a year, I'll have the ability to make my own, hopefully good, remixes and themes. Until then, we'll use what we can find. And I have found quite a few good tracks. This is a lot to think about. Not quite sure what to say to all of it. As far as music goes, I have a few ideas for how the leader themes can be arranged, if we scrap the separate themes, that is. As much as I like the idea, you make some good points. Give me some time to think about it. Maybe organize a poll or something. Now, onto the rest of this. As of now, we have Lore to help with drafting. Iirc, you also offered? I can help out here and there, but I don't think I'm quite as experienced as you two. The idea stage might not last as long as you expect it. As of right now, we need a few more characters (rivals and possible other supporting), the region map (and gym distribution), and the basic plot. The last one is what will probably take the longest. Let's focus on either that or the rivals.

Dang. You saw me lurking. TRHS?

He has to be at least e4 in order to get Bennett in. I don't know about him being Champ tho. This...actually makes sense.

Yeah, let's use Leviathan. And trust me, I know about the whole GxC thing. As far as gym leaders and major battle themes go, we're done with her. Rivals are undecided and unclear, but I'm still looking. It'll be easier once I know what the characters are like. Already have two for the comedic guy, one for when he's good and one for when he's evil. Or xe, I forgot which is which. For the tsundere girl I'm thinking of some kind of B2/W2 rival remix. And for whoever is left... Maybe a remix of the RSE rival? Since he/xe is supposed to be nice and all. If nothing else, I'll use the one from ORAS. Wild pokemon and regular trainer battles... Ugh. Unless I find something else, it'll probably end up being Glitch, sorry.

So the way your theme works is kinda weird. It all depends on whether or not the protag knows your leader is evil. If not, I think Anima or Halycon (and I put Halycon in the theme post I did last night), but if they do know that he's evil, Storia would be good. As FOr your BN theme... Give me a little time on that one.

Knowing Ame, there will be puzzles along with some of the legendaries. Probably some sidequests for some, and the mega stone hunt. Also the Nightclub will be unlocked, but I don't know what that'll bring. I heard something about a possible ep 20 for post game content, but I don't know if it was ever confirmed

Yeah, I get it. I actually did propose the idea of leaders doubling up on themes, but I don't think anyone liked it. We'll cross those bridges when we get there. For now, let's get the story together.

Twas a joke We'll definitely have to fight Laura at some point.

*cough* wasteland Aya *cough* *cough* desert Titania *cough* I think it might be contagious, Aqua... Gym guy never forget Nah. Usually the champion is someone we see around the region often. Ame just hasn't been seen enough. Inb4 It's actually Arclight

Sounds intense o_o. Then again, fire is known to be dangerous, and I've heard something about cannon collections, so if you guys like it, then sure, why not? You and your Cytus Wait, so are these your current battle themes or your past selections? Also, I think the overworld one fits better as a battle theme. I was sorta planning on just one encounter theme for the admins... So yours is the FF one? This is how I felt at first, but then, after thinking about it and reading about some of the characters, I thought it was a good idea. Reborn's gym theme is great, but it fits the style and atmosphere of the game, dark, mysterious, and (in)tense. I feel like, overall, this game will be a bit lighter than Reborn is (it'll have it's moments). And finding an overarching leader theme just doesn't seem right, like it won't fit all the characters and their personalities. It would be harder to find one theme than it is finding individual themes. And add to that the fact that no other game has done something like this before, it just makes this game special. Space is an issue though.

Laura was said to be kicked out, but iirc they were going to go talk to Ame to confirm it. Probably will happen in e16. Arclight is there because he runs the nightclub that only the elite trainers and important people can enter. Naturally he has to be one of those things to run such a place. And I still can't see Anna as champion

Why am I still awake? So it turns out that finding fiery music is about aa hard as flying was. This time it's not because I don't know what to look for, but because there really isn't much out there. I'll keep looking! Don't worry! Ehhhh. Listened to the first few minutes. Not very battle-y, but might make a nice area theme. Then again, haven't heard all of it. Too tired. Goodnight

Thats...a good question. I'd like for them to each have their own theme (trio's like the lake trio sharing one, of course) but this brings up a few things. 1) Space. Having 18 separate gym leader themes, plus all the overworld and atmospheric music takes up space. I don't want the game to be super large and take up tons of space because of music.Which means I might have to scrap some of the gym (building) themes I was thinking about. 2) Repetition. So some themes for the leaders are legendary battle remixes. I could theoretically re-use these for their respective legendaries. I just hope people enjoy hearing it the second time around. This also works the reverse way, having just one theme would get pretty old fast. I'd like to hear what it is though. And the search for legendary music won't pick up until we reach a point in the story where it'll be used. We'll add music as we update, for the new areas. Sure! I posted that list for this very reason: if people are unhappy with their themes they should suggest new ones to me. I think the Rise of the Phoenix fits best, is that okay? Also, I'm wondering if we have any desert areas in the region, because I've found a lot of desert sounding music. Also I've found some good area themes for the Dark/psychic/Ghost region. Although I should probably focus on the Grass region for now.

Inverse field started off as a joke on the showdown server. We were talking about inverse battles and post game stuff. Then we thought about inverse-field Noel, and the hell that could be. I don't know if it was confirmed though. We need a new fairy field. I think a starlight field was speculated too. What other fields could we use?

Well, some are (El, Heather). Bennett, Laura, and Arclight are up in the air. If Bennett makes it... bring rock types and expect quiver dance hell.

Hey..these are pretty epic. I can see why you chose them. Okay then. So Dark Impetus can be the rival's theme when he's fully committed to darkness, if that ever happens. Now the next issue is finding a kickass legendary theme. I guess that can wait until we actually have to fight one, but I'll keep my eyes open. Kirby super star ultra <3!!!!

Ah. I see. Would still like to hear them. I think Jacob's was in his signature. Also found a pretty sweet possible Champion theme, but Im keeping it under wraps for now. Unless you have that picked out too, in which case I will crawl into my bed and cry

Ooh. Thanks, will keep those in mind! Yes, African drums can be quite large. And loud. God, they're loud. Good to know. I just hope no one expects me to be good for these first few months

Okay, cool. What are they? And will they replace the gym themes? I'd like for the themes to be less evil if the protag doesn't know that the leader is evil.
