Hello and Happy New Years Eve everyone! It's almost 2011!

Ben here with an update on the sound team stuff. I haven't heard much from RP, but I know he got his stuff in. I will assume that he is incredibly busy with setting up all of his equipment.

As for sound development goes, I have talked to Bashinernox about dynamic music, had a discussion on the forum about it, and worked on creating a menu loop hopefully long enough for the player to get through all of the options before the music loops itself. From the criticism I've seen on Version 3 of the Main Theme, there only needs to be some tweaks and sections re-done. I have been writing and fixing up a 4th version of the theme that has some minor changes here and there, but also some major developments as far as sections, form, new melodies, harmonization, additional voices, ect. As you all know, this is a painstaking process to create a theme that the whole team can agree upon, but it must be done.

You can hear the menu loop at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4XVER10D

If you want to hear at the current version of the theme (v.3) - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XXAYY9R7

The wiki has been updated to include links to the files under the page "Soundtrack."

A list of goals for myself next month include-
*Civilization Stage Music
*Getting an idea for sound in the cellular stage
*Finishing the theme (that might take another month or so)

Enjoy!
