BTW the due date is August 31st 2018.
And we're gonna try to get the whole thing out into the world on Halloween.

Sweet. I can take a listen in about an hour.
Isaac -- go ahead if you want to. Visual aspect is not something I'm worrying about until I've got more of the songs in so just keep in mind anything you put together is at best tentative.

I like it. I this track even better, though not for Descent. I have quite a nice collection of that kind of DnB on vinyl. Good job.

I think it's fine.
If you want it in I'll put it in, and if you don't then I won't. That's totally up to you to decide.
So once you make the decision, let me know. If you want to make something you'll like better, you still have several months to do that.
I'd ask that in future you don't put a submission up as a public track 'cause I'd like to have a good reason for fans who are outside of this community to download the album for one of us who they do know and discover the rest.

Hey, I'm still trying to squeeze in time to submit a track before August 31. I've got some time slotted for end of June. It won't take me long once I get started.

@Phozon Gotta admit that track is a little better than Water.

I know it doesn't fit, completely, but a nice surprise to see the track released (free) with the same name as one of my levels haha
Also here's a remix I did for a weekly challenge on the Overload Discord that may or may not fit:

Haha, that is funny. And it actually reminds me a little bit of the song I picked out for that level. Though, if I had to pick a game I thought this one sounded like it would probably involve hedgehogs and not pyros...
Your remix is really nice, I've always had a place in my heart for DnB since I played Wipeout for the first time on PSP... but I think it wouldn't be fair to our Russian friend if I changed my stance on remixes at this point.

Hey @Phozon, August is coming up fast and I was wondering if you planned to do anything with that "Ice" track you sent me last year, if you like it as it is, or if I should delete it.

Submissions are now closed. Anyone who still has something in the works or something they want please contact me by either email or PM before september 9th -- can't guarantee you'll get in but the sooner you get in touch the more likely that will be.
Everybody else -- stay tuned for the release on October 31st.
And Phozon I am still waiting to hear from you RE: "Ice". If I don't know soon I'm gonna assume it's unfinished and leave it off.

Planning on writing up a little blurb for the release next week -- is there anything any of the contributors to the album would like me to say? Keep in mind that I will be permitting others (especially the contributors) to repost the album and asking that they keep the blurb intact.
Oh, and if you'd like to put one of your songs for the album up on soundcloud or another site where it can be seen by your fans, now's the time you can do that. I just ask that you mention it is part of a large (20 song!) compilation and add a link to the album next Wednesday when I officially put it out there.

Ah, if only you said this a few weeks ago. I refrained from entering my Community Album contribution in a song competition per your guidelines. I really wanted to compete!

Oh dear.
You should have asked me about it. I'm sure we could have figured something out.
There was a reason I called them "guidelines" and not "the king's law" .

No big deal. It was one of those "one synth challenge" type things. The song I submitted for Community Album 2 was made with a single VST, and that just happened to be one to the ones approved for the challenge. I was like "oh, I have something already!"
It's all good though.

You should include a little blurb about how my submissions are my debut pieces.

I'm not sure how good an idea that actually is -- it could be taken by some people to mean I'm calling you untalented, since they won't have listened to the music first, and that couldn't be farther from the message I want to convey. Generally when people talk about artist debuts they mean the first songs to be published on a record label, not the first songs they've written. As much as I'd like it to be, this is not that level of exposure.
Maybe I could mention that some of the songs are the first ever written by the artist (especially since I believe you're not the only one), without going into whose it is.

IT IS OFFICIALLY DONE!
Sry for the caps. I'm really excited. Are you really excited?
It took me about five hours to get the presentation right and the everything all zipped away, but it is now ready for tomorrow.
The final title for the album is "More Lights (Descent Community Album ][)" for a little D2 pun that might also make it more accessible to fans of anyone on here who haven't played Descent.
