alex i made you a present
« on: August 19, 2013, 04:38:50 PM »

(...and i guess the rest of the dev team, too)

Consider this fansong an official apology for the Harlem Shake mod.

Spoiler
I didn't really have a lot of established material to go off of, since there's only one song, and it's pretty ambient instead of all up in your face. I was mostly trying to capture the feeling of both exploration and epic combat. Or maybe epic exploration. Something like that.

That's seriously good. I love the feel and energy. Nice work sir! Having listened to your other stuff, I expected something very solid, but this, ah, exceeded the already-high expectations :)

(Moving this to off-topic because, well, off-topic.)

P.S. The Harlem Shake mod was awesome! My perspective might be skewed because that's the first time I encountered that particular meme, though.

Google for ogg converter. There are some free and on-line ones that allow you to convert even songs on the fly.

I really like this actually, reminds me a lot of older games sci-fi soundtracks.
Hell, make it faster and it could be an awesome WipEout tune!

Thanks everyone, and Alex: glad you approve :)

Oh, I figured that general discussion was the right place since it still had to do with Starsector, sort of.

Eh, even though you liked it, I still felt the need to redeem myself in the eyes of rational human behavior, and to right that particular wrong. Fortunately the meme as a whole has effectively died at this point.

is there a .ogg for this? I kinda want it as battle music ;D
No, but here's the 320kbps mp3: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71512473/05%20-%20Starfarer.mp3
