The Ultimate Elements
Music TopicThey say in Hollywood that 50% of a movie is sound. I don't know what the numbers are when talking about online games, but I don't think that anyone disagrees when I say that music and sound effects are important part of a game.
This topic has several goals.
| 1. Find out what kind of music community members would like to hear in Elements |
| 2. Find out during which parts community members think music should be played in Elements |
| 3. Find or produce royalty-free music that can be used in Elements. |
| 4. Using a poll, determine the most popular songs submitted. |
Elements currently has only two tracks of music: intro music and False God music. This lack of different music is most likely at least partly because audio files can be large and increase loading times. However when looping shorter audio clips, files can be brought down to more manageable sizes, which should in theory enable us to have more unique audio clips inside Elements. And there is also the possibility of not having more audio clips, but having
different audio clips to get more variation.
I know there are many talented people on this community. I think that it's time for us to step up and help Elements developers by finding or producing great music that can maybe one day added to the game. Current intro music was produced by out Global Moderator jmizzle7 (using the old guitar intro as a base), so there already is a history of Elements developers using community created music.
It is important to realize that there are absolutely no guarantees that your music will be used in Elements, nor are there even guarantees that Elements will have new music. All that is up to the developers. On this topic we merely give the developers options to choose from.
I would also like to add that polls on this topic should not be taken as the community making decisions for the developers. They are only suggestions and feedback.
If you want to submit songs, please use the short tutorial below. Post the "embed" code of your song on this topic, and I will add them to the list. Remember, songs you post must be 100% royalty-free for commercial use in Elements. This means that either the song was produced by yourself and you grant Elements developers the right to use it, or it was taken from a website that allows royalty-free commercial use.
If your song gets added to the game, you will naturally be credited for it.
This is just a start. Polls, plus tons of other stuff, will be added to this post later.

List of Royalty-Free SongsThis is where we list all the songs found during this project. I started off by adding some songs, all of which can be used in Elements for free, as long as the artist is credited. Warning: Most of these probably wouldn't fit to Elements at all.
