This is the final thread for the first Video Game Music Challenge. I’m pleasantly surprised by how many people entered; I didn’t expect this challenge to be popular considering it’s a first time, non-competitive event. My primary goal was to get the community benefits that come with events such as NGADM and NGUAC but without the negativity associated with scores and elimination. I think I succeeded in that pursuit. I want to thank the challenge designers and Troisnyx for making this possible as well as @TomFulp for advertising the event on the front page and in many blog posts.
To make this event even more successful, it’s imperative that participants listen to and comment on other participants’ submissions. It would be great if you can write as many reviews as you can for other participants in your group. Even if you’re new to composing music and can’t offer much valuable criticism, simply stating what you like about a song will still be appreciated.
This is a for-fun event, so there are no winners and losers. Those of you who have submitted exceptional tracks will likely be rewarded by the moderators with a front page feature, if you haven’t already.
The challenge designers will do their best to review your song by the end of February.
If you submit your song late, please contact the challenge designer of your group to ask for a review. Challenge designers are not obligated to review late submissions; they agreed to review songs submitted by a certain date, and I want to respect that. You can ask a moderator such as @Troisnyx to add your late submission to this post -this applies only to people who signed up in the original thread-.
@Lunacyecho created this graph to showcase the popularity of each challenge.
Feel free to share your thoughts about the event in this thread and offer suggestions for improvement. I’m seeking to pass the torch for hosting future vgm challenges; to avoid complications, it would be best to DM me if you’re interested.
