New profile posts

Hello, sorry taking awhile... I'm somewhat lazy, but there has been some progress going on with it, the graphics are much better then what they were from the previous message and I have more of an idea of what the plot and story is going to be. I've also been experimenting with org maker so I could make the mod have original music! Although the first few releases I plan on making most likely wont have those yet. One of the other things I have been working on is making an asset pack that contains several characters (around 70) from Touhou and making them kind of work in Cave Story, though a myriad of the characters are taller than 16 pixels.

Just so everyone who cares knows, the main thing I plan on having the most for this mod is to focus mainly on its art, I want it to look as pretty as I can possibly make it to be, so generally speaking the bosses and parkour that the mod might have will likely be underwhelming compared to the visuals but I will try my best to make them decent or better than that. I also want to have tons of things to interact with to make the world feel more alive in some sense. B'yeah, not really that much has happened other than scribbling, lore writing and spamming notes all over the org maker keyboard.

Here's a single image of the first place (only functional place!!! XDDD:muscledoc:) But also what I have for the asset pack because I have only shared that on discord, both tank's are subject to change. Oh and all of the characters n such will have animations as well. That's pretty much all, I plan to make a version one for the asset pack soon and perhaps a demo for the Touhou mod on the Doukutsu Club, after that I have another idea for a different but original mod that I will make to practice org maker further and after that I will probably work on and continue working on the Touhou mod to its final release. But we'll see how that goes.

lazy or not, i absolutely adore the sprites you've got so far
i'd like to see this released one day, but please don't feel rushed. if beauty is what you're going for, then you're much better off taking your time and getting all the details perfectly sculpted

(i was told the ground's colour was yellow, seems like i've been lied to)
Hey Hina are you still around? Just saw that your Discord account is gone so just wanted to keep in touch.

not sure if i want the email publicly available here, but yeah, you can reach me there. not sure if discord keeps the profile description up during the deletion phase - i've had the contact email there for around a month
sorry for not notifying you directly, but despite planning the whole thing for two months or so i still wasn't able to tie up all the loose ends
the forums updated and i cant see what this update entails.

Blur effect on profile posts...
Profile posts take a long time to load initially for some reason, so this is deffos a much newer version of the forum software and I'm not sure if the new loading system is exactly BETTER to be honest.

If we're gonna have a loading screen on this site atleast make it the CS3D one lol
the term strongbad_email.exe, while being used canonically as both the program that strong bad uses to check his emails, and as the name of the sbemail dvds, makes me think of a strong bad email creepypasta where like, strong bad just actually fucking kills strong sad instead of merely threatening to do so

No need, Strong Sad already willed himself to death back in 20 aught 8

So! I made an effort and stitched together a new soundfont for The Way, for use with virtualMIDIsynth: (600 MB compressed rar)
Yamaha Tyros 4_Just_T4_Fixed-XCal0.4.2.rar
It is generally geared towards all 6 episodes of midis. (Maybe biased towards the later episodes actually...)
Not perfect, but hard to make a one size fits all song solution soundfont.

Or as I mentioned previously, I believe this is the old soundfont I used back then:
EDIT: Watched that old video and this should be the soundfont from the video, I guess that's the one I used long ago?:
https://github.com/guoyu07/midi2mp3/blob/master/PC51d.sf2

Two decent starting points for music enhancement. (Or you can grab the Cave Story orgmaker soundfont :debug: etc)

Was this based on other soundfonts from the internet? Like as a personal "I think this sounds nice" or is it based on what the original game was composed for?

It's the former. I don't know about any official, The Way, non-midi tracks to use as a reference. And a lot of the music comes from existing songs from that time period. (There was some original music though. But only midi as far as I know.)
And yes, since this is based on existing soundfonts I wouldn't upload it to any soundfont site. Not sure how strict they are. Most are quite old. Just figured I'd see what I could do with what I had.

Here's an example:
Audio volume warning on a few soundfonts!
Comparing the midi starting with the default sound of Microsoft Sound Mapper, then the "original" unreleased track from Final Fantasy VIII, followed by various soundfonts (starting with the soundfont I mixed and matched for The Way), followed by various randomly chosen soundfonts showing the variety you can find. Lastly, I play the mp3 version I directly put together a long time ago.

Sorry for the various audio volumes, need to put a limiter into the loop!
Of course some sound better on some songs, and worse in others.
somewhat abrupt : i dont think ill continue using these forums any longer. if you care enough about this, figure out my contact info and ask why. bye.
