| Topic | [VGMC] Video Game Music Contest 15 announcement!! Noms are 4/15!! |
| azuarc 04/03/21 3:42:14 PM #47: | OrangeCrush980 posted... I assume that stuff like GTA's radio still isn't eligible? Licensed music will not be eligible. The question is where the line on that is drawn. I tried to set a standard in the last two years that sounds that are technically licensed, but that nobody would have otherwise ever heard of, like the Braid soundtrack or M4 Part 2, are fine because even if they didn't start as VGM, they serve no other real role. Dance of the Spheares would fall under this indirectly, as a MOD file that eventually got used in Tetrinet. Also, anything where the game release pre-dates the official release, such as Jordan from Guitar Hero 2, since Harmonix literally commissioned Buckethead to write it for the game. But I do wonder if we would allow someone to nominate, say, Outside from Rock Band. One of the loading screens for that song teases that Tribe still gets a royalty check for 2 cents every other year from some Australian station that occasionally plays the track. But the song is 30 years old. It clearly predates Rock Band by a mile. And it is technically licensed. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
