That's some insanely beautiful work there, family. I have accepted your request!

Yo!

I'm starting my first project in Unity (with zero experience and no coding ability, and it's weirdly going quite well), and am looking for a talented and passionate artist to help me out with some character sprite artwork and animation. 

The game is a 2D-platformer, heavily based around music and audio (my speciality), and I'll be looking for a main character sprite with several animation, and multiple weapons (which will be musical instruments).

EDIT: In terms of style, I'm looking for something either hand drawn, or in a high-resolution pixel art style (like 128x128).

I always pay people that work for me, so I will not be expecting you to work for free. Likewise, I won't be expecting AAA-standard work and time investment, so I won't be looking to pay AAA-rates, either, lol. So, I'm open to negotiation in this department. 👍

Please reply if this sounds like your cup of tea!

If you want some original music, I could def be interested. My discord username is the same as on here, if you'd like to chat. 👍

Yep, my username is the same as here.

Sorry this is taking me so long, I'm juggling lots of projects at the moment, but check this out:

It is technically loopable, but if you would like it to just be like the original, I can finish it off that way. 👍

OK, excellent. Thanks for the positive feedback, I'm on it.

Also, for some reason I'm only getting alerted to your replies intermittently - so, if I don't reply right away, that's why. 👍

I was able to finally get cracking with this one. This is just the first part, but tell me what you think about it. ;)

No worries bro, I misread what you were asking - but it's all good, I still learnt a lot doing that, so I don't regret it!

I have almost finished building my new studio, so my productivity levels will be increasing again soon. But I'll crack on with the CORRECT track this evening. ;)

Hey bro,

Sorry for being out of touch again. This was an extremely time-consuming one, lol. It still needs work, but I have transcribed and recreated the entire thing. It still needs a fair bit of work, I have to tighten the screws and sort the mix out.  But it's getting there! Cheers.

Hey bro, sorry I have been out of touch again - I am very busy with work, and will be for one more week, and then I'll be back at pace. I'm still working on the track, but it is taking longer for this reason. I'll be in touch next week with something for you to hear.

I love the music from Flying Battery Zone - one of my favourites in all of the Sonic games. When I get to that track, I'll have a crack at melding the two. ;)

👍

Do you want an 8-bit feel with this one?

Awesome, I'll get on it right away.

Also, F-777 did message me back, and it turns out the synth they used was the one I had already found and was using. ;)

Ok, I still haven't got it to sound exactly like the track, but it is much closer.

There's still more I want to do, but you said you needed it by March 1st - so really pushed to get it to this point.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RlfQmV0177o9XHWOWnQErSDWn4TaWlJS/view?usp=shari...

Alright, it is going to be tough, but I'll try and make it sound exactly the same. I have emailed F-777 to try and find out what synthesisers they used, lol.

Yo, I'll be uploading a new version for you in a couple of hours. 

Yo,

My apologies for being out of touch over the last few days - I have been very busy at work. I have still been working on the track, though. It has been pretty tough, but this is what I have, so far.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uwSEw0ORKedFEe7D4z2_f9s_hNS0mlAt/view?usp=shari...

Ok, that shouldn't be a problem. Do you have a date you need this done by? Figuring out specific synths does take me a bit longer to do than just transcribing the parts - so, I can't be sure how long it'll take me to get them sounding just right until I delve into it.

Yo, let me know how this is and how you'd like me to proceed. Cheers.

Nooo, I mean that I am making good progress so that my initial date of Monday/Tuesday was correct, and I will have something to send you by then.

And re money, if there isn't a clear agreement before I agree to start working, there is no money involved. So, don't worry about it. Just remember me when you get your first game released on Steam. ;)

Sounds great. I managed to spend quite a lot of time on it today, and the Monday/Tuesday estimate I gave you is on the money.

It'll be good for me to start listening to the new one asap, so that I have a good sense of the track when I start working on it.

Haha, let's gooooooooo! ;)

Of course. This is turning out to be very challenging, but I am making great progress. I'll get something to you on Monday, or Tuesday at the latest.

Do you want a 1:1 8-bit version of this track, or do you need it to be a specific length of time, like Chaoz Fantasy? Also, would you like a similar soundscape to that track, with the crushed/distorted instruments, etc?

I don't think that'll be a problem. ;)

I'll get cracking later today, and send you something in a few days in order to make sure I'm on the right track.

Boom

Is that loud enough?

Just a quick mp3 of the intro only, is that ok, or a bit louder?

Is this one any good, fam?

How's that?

Is this what you wanted? I want to make sure I understand what you're asking for. ;p
https://drive.google.com/file/d/13Ta1MpGc_BwbWz9-toaf-zGcgEluqP9E/view?usp=shari...

I did, but if you want it louder, I can do that.

How's that, boss?

Hey man, I have done the things you asked. The only issue I had is with the harmony, as I couldn't get all of the notes you said to fit as a line. Let me know if what I have done is hitting the spot, or if you want me to change it. Cheers.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/13ijXehkfhaAYVs5kQ2L10F1Gg2cn4j8U/view?usp=shari...

Yes sir, I was out with my pizza trailer yesterday so didn't get a chance to work on it, lol. I should have this back to you later today or tomorrow. ;)

I tried as hard as possible to get the instruments sounding as close as I can, it's just tough given that I don't think I have the exact same instrument that they used. Hopefully this is getting close now, though.

Let me know how this is. Cheers.

Hey,

This is what I have, so far. I don't think I quite understood what you meant about the ending, so could you listen to this and give me a bit more direction from that? 

Also, re the low note at 3:47 under the G#, I just need a bit more clarification as to what you're looking for.

Finally, when you said 'make the track sound more like the airplane version (Link in next message) and don't repeat the same tune over and over', do you want it to have that super compressed 8-bit sound? The authentic crunchy low quality feel, or were you referring to something else? And as for 'don't repeat the same tune over and over', what does this refer to?

I'm really having a great time with this, and I appreciate your direct and insightful feedback - I just want to make sure I am doing it right!
