Ms Littlefish

Well, I've had chronic insomnia for years, but I was actually covering for a couple of people yesterday. We only had 8 customers, including the chicken man. xD

At least chicken man gave you a good laugh? When I work long shifts, I need someone like chicken man to save the day.

Yup! In total I only spent about an hour or two doing actual work, so it wasn't so bad! I just had to help order a few bouquets, then tend to the flowers.

There's also a Little Fish in the Dish on that Table.

Well, that cat's out of the bag. Now isn't it? XD

Well, kitties, save your documents often. Otherwise the reliable computer you've been using will blue screen for the first time and you'll lose half a table. T_T

@Holder and Lunarea I totally agree! I'm flattered that people still think I'm a teen. Of course, when I tell them off about how I'm actually 27, they end up feeling stupid, not me. ^_^

A lot of people think I'm 18 (I rarely go much above 19 when we play the guessing game). I mean, I must be doing something good to my self or have nice genes. Not complaining. A lot of people will say, "Wait, how old are you!?"

Don't worry about that, I look pretty young at my age and I work at the store, when I asked a guy if he needs any help he told me he doesn't need one from a 14 year old... and if he can talk to someone older... Funny thing we literally just sell meat, so I don't have to be even legal age to sell that. XD I was kicked out of my college once as well by the security, they almost called the police that I was out of high school. Good times.

Your style reminds me of a dance... it seems like the dancer can't dance, when in fact they're quite elegant and intentional...


I like the country "backwoods" vibe I get from this.

In all seriousness, I can't dance though. I did once play taiko drums for an interpretive dance group though, ahaha.


And thanks, it's suppose to sound kind of laid back and non-serious. ^_^

HYPE!

Good luck with it! I'm still undecided on exactly what I want for maps. I've exceeded my goal of 3, lol!

Thanks. I know what you mean on the maps. The setting and even the time period have changed a couple times since we made this idea.

I suppose it is when I consider how soul-crushing that two seconds of dead space was for me. XD

Yay!!! That is a big victory!

Congrats, no matter how small, it's the little victories that makes it all worth it.

Thanks! It's an orchestrated version of the main theme. The melody is also used in the title screen and a yet to be finished over world.

Man, I think you've got me beat in the OST department... I've only got a few original tracks up my sleeve this time...


Well done!

Thank you, Iron Croc. But that melody is pretty much my person anthem . If you listen carefully to my piano music, I've been doling out variations on that theme in just about every genre, key, and time signature you can think of since 2008, ahaha!

Oh cool. It certainly does work brilliantly as a synth/8bit piece

Really enjoyable- the tonality and pace is perfect. Feels like an older game from the nintendo/sega era.

Thank you, palladinthug. I'm really happy that this piece is coming across with a retro feel. Those have always been favorite battle themes, though!

I am now living in a suburb of Detroit and it is by far the smallest town I've lived in. A lot of people recognize me from my work and I see them all over the place. It's pretty neat.


Before hand the smallest city I had lived in had a population of 350,000 and I've lived in areas with more. My college town was smaller but it was by far the noisiest, because, college, lol.


As a city dweller. Night is terrible. I'll take the critters.

What is this "nature" you speak of...? You should go get that checked out my friend.

Nature is beautiful...

@Vexed Strangely, I almost always get the hiccups when eat them.


@Alexander I'd like to keep chickens sometime in my life but there just isn't the room, sadly.


@mlogan One egg will peel like magic and another will disintegrate into a thousand pieces.

Alleviate that problem by keeping the eggs in cool water for half an hour or so, then take the eggs out... they all but slide out of their brkn shells from being waterlogged.

I usually do that. I don't think I let this batch go long enough under the cold water though.

Started writing it here and then realised it'll be too long and you'll probably want to have something to refer back to... so pm it is

This reminds me of pokemon games. There's that classic littlefish style I know and admire!

YES! That's what always inspires my battle themes! It's my addiction.

I scrap so many of them, luckily the one I'm doing is sorta drum driven so it's much much easier for me. If you need any feedback later on you can pm me if you like?

Yeah, I plan on letting the drums and bass part do a lot of talking in this, but I'm such a melody person too. Sprinkle in some interesting chord and key changes. That's my plan at least.


I may just take you up on the feedback. We'll see how far I get today. I'm aiming to start orchestration by this evening.

I see, well good luck then!

I like food. Am I a foodie? ?


Also, I had a breakfast burrito today. AND IT WAS DELICIOUS, NEVER KNOCK THE BREAKFAST BURRITO. Not like you were, but still. BB's are amazing.

I think I'm going to make one tomorrow, honestly. I don't have any meat marinated or cooked for burritos but eggs and beans are wonderful protein options, too.

Speaking of bed. Going. Because I want it to be breakfast time!

@ Iron Croc I've been listening to a lot of Pokemon battle themes, lol. The one I did write previously was actually upbeat and silly.

One mixed drink later and I'm making progress.

@ Vexed .Thanks. It's going to be a silly, upbeat affair.

I love the 8-bit feel and upbeat pace =D

Thank you! That's exactly what I'm going for with this project. ^__^

They are arrangements of some of my songs. My boyfriend and I have a long standing inside joke with the entity that is our item shop keeper. He's a non-canon character that pops up in many situations and becomes a mogul of multiple industries and thus has many incarnations. I already have a Klezmer variation for him for in one game but our latest version of him owns a night club so we're going swing.

Haha! Nice. That's cool to have a recurring character like that.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

Good luck to you, I'm still on the fence about it myself though I have an idea for a visual novel type game that I think could work well in a month.

I definitely think a puzzle would be great.

@ Alexander I hope our idea comes across well. It's going to be more of a comedy. We love funny games. But the plot is going to be short but sort of ridiculous. Yet, I need it to make sense, too!

I laughed uncontrollably when I realized I had won the "Under the Sea" challenge. The badge just makes it better.

There are no coincidences, everything happens for a reason. Congrats for winning that Littlefish...ahahah

Thank you. ^_^

But you can't eat bacon when you're dead. Also wi-fi is terrible 6 feet under.

Oh, Wi-fi is a big one. I'm ashamed to say because I never really used the internet too, too much before 2008 but I can't live without it anymore. XD

This is true... no netflix. That's gotta suck.

Most of my songs start on the piano so either I'm losing something when I arrange them or it's that my piano sounds far exceed the quality of my other sounds (or is at least part of it). I should make a play list of my piano versions.

This is utterly beautiful. It's sad, but... hopeful. Like the beginnings of a silver lining on a big dark cloud. At times it gives me a slight Tori Amos vibe~

Thank you so much. I'm so happy that emotions are reading across so well in this piece.
