Definitely using this epic music. Great Determination is planned to be used for a character select/base menu for a Tactical FE-inspired RPG, while a couple of the other songs work well as both theme music and boss music. ^^
I'm working on an FE-inspired tactical RPG (its not a fangame, but its not really an Indie game either), the first and third of these would work great if I just add on some loop points (I have a script that allows me to set loop points). Might be able to use some of the others in the future, too. ^^
I listened to a number of your other works before I created my account and I really liked them as well. I'll start going through and fav'ing those, too, now that I've created an account.
Thanks. Sorry for a bit of a rant earlier. I think I will use LPC sprites for at least one game project. Depending on how it works I may use them again.
Of course that also means I'll be doing more updates later when I get the chance. ^^ The past few weeks I've been working on a different project, though, which will be free but its a Fire Emblem-inspired game and the sprites are based on the GBA Fire Emblem games; just a fun side project I was doing with my brother-in-law.
Doesn't necessarly have to be for a hot, volcanic PLANET. I'm thinking it might work for my deep underground passages and tunnels, primarily in the hot lava-filled chambers. ^^
Um... I really wasn't expecting this. I kinda had an idea about posting some of this up here, but I really wasn't sure about it.
Thanks for posting it up, but I really can't take credit for all of it. The hair especially; that's just me cutting and pasting parts from two already existing hair styles.
The cape is the main thing I did entirely on my own, and I'm not fully happy with it. I like the default look for the cape, but some of the animations doesn't don't look quite right. I'm not sure if I got that down right.
As for naming... Online I'd just prefer to be called "Jaidyn Reiman." jrconway3 is just a username I use on some sites, I never actually call myself that.
Oh, and the elven ears. I didn't do those, either, I just cleaned them up. They were already in the XCF file, but completely out of alignment. I realigned them along with the big ears and the noses.
I'm not even sure if I want to use LPC sprites anymore. I think it'd be fine for me to use them, its just that, thinking it over, I'd rather have a darker gothic-steampunk feel to my game. I may use LPC sprites for a couple of trial projects, but I'm still debating if I'll use them for my main game I'm planning.
And no, the license doesn't bother me. I've been surfing the web and researching quite a bit and I believe Open Game Art's FAQ is wrong. A derivative is only created if you directly modify the work in question, not by using a work in something else. The LPC sprite modifications I made are derivatives, but if I wrote a game script and included LPC sprites in that, said game isn't a derivative of the LPC sprites and the code can be licensed separately from the sprites. Seems quite clear to me. ^^
EDIT: Actually, correction, the license does bother me a bit. One major aspect is I did want to create Mobile versions, which are incompatible with CC-BY-SA. And the license did bother me before I started doing a lot of research on the subject and came to the conclusion that licenses only apply to indivdiual things; I can have a closed source game that uses open source items. Or even license different aspects of a game differently, such as the code and imported items.
(Either way I wasn't planning on making a game that required purchase directly, but I was trying to come up with some other way of making at least a little bit off of it. Preferably not with in-app purchases but perhaps an optional subscription or something...)
@Bonsaiheld, what he's saying is that he'd like you to contact him to discuss how you'd like to use the track and in case you'd like a slight revision of the track more suited to your project. I've also seen on a couple of entries where he explains that its common courtesy to request permission before using the work.
YES, you can use it without requesting permission or contacting the original artist. He's not saying you HAVE to, but he'd appreciate it if you contacted him first about it. Because of the license he placed on the music file, you're not obligated to contact him, he'd just appreciate it if you do and potentially could get you a file format or variation of the file better suited to your project rather than just using the MP3.
Another epic arrangement. I've now bookmarked your website as well; I may contact you later about information for doing a soundtrack for an Indie RPG game. I may use some tracks for the demo. Initially I'm on a low-budget; if I can manage it later I'd love to pay you for an entirely original soundtrack, but for now I've just been looking around for resources I can use for a free game as a starter.
Either way its likely to be a long time before I can make much progress, I'm really busy with other things at the moment. :P
I could probably use this in my game I'm planning... if I can ever get around to start developing it. (Well, I suppose I have kinda... I wrote the outline and worked on a few sprites, but that can barely even be called pre-production.)

I prefer the look of LPC as I like the bigger sprites, but these look pretty nice too. Not bad at all. ^^
This is pretty good for something done at random. ^^ Not sure if I can find anything to use it for, but its not a bad track by any means.
