Topic	[VGMC] Video Game Music Contest 15 announcement!! Noms are 4/15!!

I asked this in Discord a while back and don't remember if you saw it, but what's your stance on music made for things like Stepmania, Clone Hero, BMS, etc? They don't have well-defined OSTs (to my knowledge) but people absolutely write music for them. Good question, and actually is one of the things that I'm still kinda thinking about and was hoping could get community feedback for. (and thus is one of the reasons the eligibility doc isn't just posted in this topic yet lol) The way I see it is that you could definitely see how these count as a "game", but from how I see it songs released for simulators are released as just files and not actually games, which are then loaded into simulators. Not sure if that sounds super wishy-washy but one question to ask, especially for BMS, is what game do we say the song comes from? BMS specifically is the name of the specific file format for IIDX charts (non-official format), and there are multiple programs used to open these without a "standard simulator" so to speak (beatoraja, Lunatic Rave 2, etc.) BMS songs are most often than not associated with the contests that they're submitted for as well. So for.... let's say, Halcyon, do we call it... "BMS - Halycon" "beatoraja/Lunatic Rave 2/etc. - Halcyon" "THE BMS OF FIGHTERS 2010 -THE EVOLUTION OF WAR- - Halcyon" ...Ignoring the fact that Halcyon is actually in real games lol if it wasn't then what realistically would you say it comes from. StepMania doesn't have simulator competition really so it would be easy to say DDR simfiles are from that, but if there were other simulators (which there might be, I'm hilariously uneducated on non-IIDX simfiles ngl lmfaoooo) then we'd run into the BMS issue stated again. It's weird.... Sorry for the tl;dr but yeah if anyone else is following this please weigh in!! My instinct says right now that songs made for simulators are just files and not games, but I would love to hear others on this. FL81 posted... Say a game is released on a system with a limited soundchip (more specifically looking at GBA and DS in my case) and the the official OST releases are remasters of the in-game music. Will these be allowed? Gonna take a blind guess at what this is about and use Mega Man Zero as an example LMFAO but in the case where that's the only OST, and it is labeled as such (an OST), then yeah it'd be good. So Zero/ZX have the "ROCKMAN ZERO & ZX SOUND BOX" now which would render Remastered/Idea/Telos/Physis and the ZX Tunes as remix albums. I think (think, can't remember) the Zero & ZX Sound Box uses the Zero Collection stuff so I think you can say Zero Collection versions are from Zero # fine. I know that's probably not the answer you were wanting :((( but even with our relaxation the remastered album tracks are much closer to remixes. <cite>banshiryuu posted [p:952412842] in [VGMC] Vid...
