Well... It's been two years since I've last participated...

Let's GO!

Like I said, regardless if you're a judge or not, I'd LOVE feedback! I'm new to FL and would very much appreciate anything. Even a 'this is wank, mate' is valuable if you can identify what exactly is wank and bring it to my attention!

My, my, my...

So many heavyweights are entering the arena!

Well said, conquering heroes of twenty-fifteen. Brave the killing field once more to defend your title.

Fun fact: No returning champion has ever won NGADM again.

I intend to buck this trend

Other fun fact: There have never been a team of returning champions in the NGADM.

Also didn't @kor-rune win like 7 times

Probably because three-person teams are not allowed in the NGADM.

Neither are Chiptune submissions.

Psych!
...But only regarding that second thing. Still no more than two people per team.

@ChronoNomad
2009 - 64
2010 - 69
2011 - 111
2012 - 196
2013 - 234
2014 - 184
2015 - 142

Stolen from @TaintedLogic

If it continues like this it will most likely be the third biggest ngadm audition turnout :D ,maybe even second. Will be difficult to trumph the 234 auditions in 2013, but who knows :D.


Just a random idiot

Honestly, I'm expecting it to surpass 2013's record. A lot of people wait until the end of the audition phase to submit their tracks.

I didn't say anything about it being possible. Or legal.

I'm not sure how I almost forgot to submit for auditioning, but here's my piece that I will deploy for your consideration.

Looks like it'll be tough this year

tbh i can back this up, i totally saw this coming from your most recent work, i mean no strictly speaking it had no chiptune elements whatsoever, but sometimes you can just tell when someone is honing their chiptune abilities in secret

there goes my only competitive advantage

Oh man, I cannot wait to hear this--what'd you call it? Epic Chiptunechestral? Sounds totally, um...epic. Yeah. Nice portmanteau, by the way. #bassgawaldofn

The lines have been drawn in the sand. The Audio Deathmatch of the decade - nay, of the century - is well into the Auditions phase! But there's still plenty of time for more brutal combatants to join the merciless musical melee. The mixture of raw talent and paralyzing fear is palpable...

FIGHT ON!

I'm just curious about my entry. I have samples in it that the purpose is for comedy, while the song is in and of itself trying to be something you'd want to listen to (by being something I want to listen to). But the vocal samples, while they are funny and relaxed, will that at all impact the scoring of the song? Like, will it be taken less seriously?

I'm new to this, sorry guys! I'm real excited though :)

Right on! Does peachymaiden happen to have a Newgrounds profile? If not, you should convince her to become part of the site! Creating one could expand her overall fan base, and it's a simple thing to link to other sites (i.e. YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, online portfolios) for easy access. As an added bonus, you could also add her profile name and image to any and all collabs! Win~win.

The real question would have to be, does the song best represent your talents? If the answer is no, then it might be wise to change up to something that more reflects your style. But if the answer is yes, and the track is a solid addition to your repertoire despite the fact that it's a bit silly, then go with it. That is ultimately your decision, but please do let me know if you're making a change by clearly stating that in your post.

Suffice to say, points will not be deduced for a bit of silliness, but this is a music competition. The entry selected should be the best available representation of your abilities. Since only 64 musicians can move beyond the Auditions, the level of challenge is very high. And ultimately...

I have decided to work by myself. The thing is, I don't want to overwork my partner in NGADM and I'd prefer that we work alone instead of together. @ELEPS44 Sorry for the extreme inconvenience and I will hope to see you next NGADM. (But this still doesn't mean we won't do collabs, we can still do our second collab soon ;) and maybe with @FGK2015)
