Thunder Force IV - Community Cover Project (heroic coup edition)

[JohnLeagsdurg]

Good to see that this project has come closer to completion.
My friend really likes this game. We're both fans of awesome music from classic retro games,

I'll take a shot at Omake 3 if no one else wants to. Might take a week or two to get it done.

EDIT: Gonna have to ask for a little extension on this; it's getting done, but slowly.

[jaxcheese]

Ha! I didn't expect to get it done in two weeks, but here it is, just on time. I realized in the past couple days the only way I was ever going to get it done was to sit down and just blast through it. So because of that it's a little messy in ways that shouldn't affect the sound at all.
Also: god damn do I hate this tune. The original seems to be full of clashing (which I tried to limit in my version), bizarre harmonies (which I tried to faithfully replicate in my version), and very-nearly-but-not-quite-exactly-repetitive sections (which I went insane trying to recreate faithfully). The transitions between sections are jarring, the instrumentation is pretty unorthodox...I can see now why it was the last one to get claimed. I'm still proud of what I did with it, though. I definitely didn't think I could handle the more rock-oriented tunes.

Anyway, since this is, as far as I know, the last song to be posted: good job everyone! It's been so cool to see the soundtrack I suggested remade by so many great chiptuners. I've really enjoyed participating and I hope we can do another one soon.

(I'm also attaching Because You're The Number One again because the first one I posted had a looping problem, I think.)

I was looking over the thread; I think slammin hasn't submitted his last one yet, so ^that's wrong.
The point stands, though.

I think slammin hasn't submitted his last one yet

I'm struggling with a solo, but the song is practically done... oh my god, I can't believe I'm stucked with this, I've done so many workarounds and midi searching and modding, and I can't still get it ;____;

EDIT: Aaaand, Done! Guess It's now complete n n

EDIT2:

I'm happy to lend a hand and transcribe something if you want it; but I won't force myself into your project if you think you can figure it out for yourself. Take your time.

Oh, I've read that when I've already done it, nevertheless, thanks for offering help n n

When songs are called for dibs, I will strike the ones that were taken, in order to make things easier and such.
Red = Taken, but not sent
Green = Taken and completed

So now "The Breaker" is already taken and completed, but why not strike it green instead of red? Read the post where Shywolf said it was done. And "Omake 3" and "Evil Destroyer" are is now finished, so strike those 2 songs, that song.

[jaxcheese]

Omake 7 and Evil Destroyer are both done, if you'll look back through the last couple pages. It's all done, AFAIK. If the first post isn't updated properly it's probably just because keffie hasn't been on.

Agree.

[kfaraday]

oh sweet! will prepare release soon

[kfaraday]

okay! so, i *should* be ready to go, but just waiting on the following; neglected to download some files at the time they were sent and they've since been deleted off dropbox:

- FTM files for 8, 16, 22, 27, 31, 47 (Raijin)
- FTM files for 24, 38 (YobaHere)

(after that its just a case of getting them hardware recorded and on bandcamp, which should be trivial. do you guys want it PWYW/shared profits if any? i can ship out any non-trivial amounts of money every month or so)
