Hello everybody! I'm Madero!

Hello everybody! I'm Madero and i'd like to help composing the soundtrack and also giving some design ideas. I'll start to write something on FL Studio tomorrow.

Hello Madero and welcome to Thrive!

A word of warning about design ideas -- for a long time Thrive has been plagued by too many design ideas and not enough implementation. To remedy that, and get the project more focused towards delivering results that have already been thought about for ages, there have been a couple changes around here. One consequence is that people will get annoyed when you present ideas for cool things to put in the game, since now's the time to be getting microbe stage good to go.

As part of that of course, we could always use good composers. Take a look at our audio forum if you haven't already, where you'll figure out what kind of music (FL Studio is for music, right?) we're looking for. Right now, i think we could use some sound effects, so maybe you could also help out with those.

If you have any questions, Oliveriver (who'll answer them much better than I) will probably pop in soon.

Don't get discouraged from suggesting creative new features though, it's just hard not to get frustrated when the same idea gets suggested over and over again, and people miss that it has already been raised before.

Musical composition, on the other hand, is a useful means by which you could contribute to the project.

Thank you all for reply so quickly! I'll take a look on what could compose.

EDIT: I tried to post some ambient sounds that I found on Freesound but I have no permissions.

Welcome!  :D 

As others have pointed out, I'm the one to talk to about music. We've finished the microbe stage soundtrack, meaning multicellular music and microbe sound effects are the next tasks to be completed. It would be great if you could contribute to those!

You can't post links until at least a week after registering, but I would advise against just finding ambient sounds on Freesound anyway. We need to be sure they either aren't covered by copyright or that we give specific credits to the creator, and try incorporating them into your own themes after editing rather than just using the sound itself (I did something similar with the ambience that can be heard at the beginning of the Main Theme v8).
