I've been developing a sonic fangame on the engine fixed up by Polygone, thanks! ^^

Anyways, I've been getting into using a program called "LMMS", or "Linux Multimedia Studio", and I've made two songs, they're on my soundcloud at http://www.soundcloud.com/hitcoder

Give feedback and please tell me how I can improve! ^^

Bump

Does anyone even care about sound and music here?

I like the "Theme of Tempest" a lot more than the first. In the "Factory Zone" you mix this "retro midi" with some "scary randomness" that just doesn't really fit. It sounds like there are 3 songs playing at once. The second one is awesome though.

I like Theme of Tempest too, sounds really nice but I think the "-- -- - - - - | -- -- - - - -"  pattern gets a little too repetitive in the middle. A little more variety would be cool.
The Factory Zone feels kind of hectic and disturbing (maybe it fits the mood of the setting dunno).

Thank you for the feedback, I'll get to work on fixing any flaws :P
The game will be posted on here once it's at a better state of production, trust me, the current game is pretty boring, the stages aren't done, and a lot of code is missing that needs to be implemented. Development will be a little slow, as I am having to do music and art myself - these are not strong points for me. My friend whom is doing level design has minimal access to his PC all of a sudden, but hopefully everything will be re-planned and resolved.

EDIT:

Okay, so I did some minor tweaks to the song "Desolate Factory", obviously I can't pick which one to use myself, as I'd be biased due to being the maker of these songs. Feedback please! ^^

Original, or take two? Which is better?

The new versions are still very hectic. It's hard to tell the difference between them, as the song on song thing still happens. But as wendigo said, maybe it fits the stage.

You'll see when the game post is made, may be a while from now though, heavy development has to go through but nobody in the team has the time right now.
