Hello! My name is Alex and I would like to make music for your game.
I have some instrumental music posted at www.myspace.com/megachurch1 and one instrumental song posted on www.myspace.com/alexatchley (the first one, which was written with chiptune-god, SPAMTRON). I have never made music for any game ever at this point, so if anyone would like to help me out, that would be just fantastic. Let me know if you need any more examples.

I agree, the first song on the second link (happy bday brian) is freaking awesome, would provide a big motivation to continue playing. If I would have something more finished I'd ask if I could use this one but my only shmup project is still in an early phase

You've got talent, I'll give you that. Also, I'm looking for a good file format for my games. The obvious 21st-century choice would be to use MP3 music loaded from an external location, but I've never liked using pre-recorded music for 2D games (I'm weird that way, since I prefer using pre-recorded tunes in 3D games.)

That said, the limitations of MIDI music are starting to get right up my nose. Do you know of any sequence formats that will end up sounding like the sequenced music of 90s arcade machines, the Sega Megadrive or SNES?

Fixed.

Tracker module files can be made to sound like anything you want.
(And of course, so can plain old WAV files, MP3 files, OGG files, etc. =P )

Mod files FTW . The best music format ever for gaming

Great stuff! I was talking to someone else about making music for the game me and skink are making but haven't heard back from him. I think your stuff would be perfect for our game though

I'll shoot you a PM now with some info.

I have ModPlug, I just don't have a keyboard, and I don't know how to use the damn program. My only real experience in music programs is FL Studio, which I use all the time, and I'm fairly adept at making MIDIs in FL Studio.

If only there was a MOD creating program where you could import MIDI tracks like in FL Studio. Either that, or if it had a usable piano roll. That would make MOD programs less daunting.
