This is the first half of a project I've been working on for the past few weeks. Just a fun project I fit in to distract me from my every day responsibilities. I'm still open to messing around with the songs, so any feedback would be appreciated. :)
Made almost entirely in MPT, with the exception of some scary effects in Eden that I produced externally.
Is it possible to offer this also as 5 single zips ? I've quite a slow connection.

I'm planning on uploading the individual tracks. They'll be up tomorrow. :)
Two Words..
Bloody Good!
"In the beginning" & "The Exodus" would sound brilliant if they were performed by an orchestra. If you send me the original files, I could try convert them into an orchestral form. Just PM me.
Where have you been hiding?
Exceptional stuff for a chip tune. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot. I'm a fan of the baroque period, so some of that probably comes through at times. I'm also a big fan of prog/krautrock. :)
But yeah, that would be cool, I'll get some of them uploaded.

You can download full mp3s there. Only 128 kbps, but I have limited connectivity and uploading takes forever.
The beginning & The Exodus are brilliant, verry nices tunes i think. (im listening now for the 4'd time). i like the banging sounds in The beginning, or how do you say it hahah. it is full of great sounds!
what i don't like are some samples (i think im just not used to/of chip sounds).
The same for The Exodus (sample thing). nice tunes only from 3:25 i think it's going to be long winded.
From 1:38 it's pushing great sounds!
These 2 i think have something of a hiphop beat. 8)
Regards,

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to, could it be the sound effects? Basically I just took some stock sounds and bitcrushed them down to sort of fit the style a bit. Not everyone's cup of tea, I understand. :)
I don't really like chiptunes, but these were pretty good :)

:) my point is, im not so in to chip tunes, the sounds. Mostly i like straight piano or strait guitar samples etc..
But the notes of The beginning & Exodus i think are really good.
p.s. my english is not so well :D
What is bitcrushed?!
i guess "bitcrushing" is just another word for "chipping"... it means that you just take a few hundred bytes of a sound to create a ... well... chip sound :D

Ok :D you mean a littlebit of one sample, i mean a really short wave or?
What means a few hundred bytes of a sound?! :P
yes, a very little bit of a sound, also called "beep" :)
Quote from: "Jojo"yes, a very little bit of a sound, also called "beep" :)
True. :)
Thanks for the nice comments and such.
i finally cleaned up my download dir and listened to the tunes. They're pretty nice chip tunes! keep up the nice work! ;)
